New Orleans Service Area
Door-to-door ground pet transport across New Orleans and the Greater New Orleans area — Uptown, Garden District, French Quarter, Marigny, Bywater, Lakeview, Metairie, Kenner, Slidell, the North Shore. Hurricane-evacuation pre-coordination is core to what we do here.
New Orleans pet transport is shaped by hurricanes. Hurricane Katrina's legacy means residents take storms seriously and plan in advance. We monitor NOAA NHC tracks during the season (June–November) and pre-coordinate evacuations from clients in mandatory zones — getting a pet out 48 hours ahead of an evacuation order beats trying to leave during one. We've run this route many times. NAS JRB New Orleans in Belle Chasse and Coast Guard Sector New Orleans add steady military-relocation volume.
Climate is sub-tropical: hot, very humid, and long. May through October runs the brachy-protocol window — pre-dawn or overnight departures, climate-controlled cabins, vet-accessible exits along the route. Cabin AC fights the New Orleans humidity differently than dry-heat trips; we plan accordingly. Operationally, the historic neighborhoods (French Quarter, Marigny, Garden District, Uptown) have narrow streets and old buildings — some pickups need a smaller vehicle, and COI / building coordination is common for high-rise apartments. Metairie and the North Shore (Mandeville, Covington) are car-friendly and accessible.
Typical price ranges for routes we run most often. Every quote is itemized and personalized — these are starting ballparks.
Ranges shown are for standard, healthy adult pets. Brachycephalic breeds (Bulldogs, Pugs, Frenchies, Boxers, etc.) and pets with medical needs are quoted case-by-case to reflect the extra care, monitoring, and coordination those trips require.
Dispatch timing varies by route and season — some pickups go out within a few days, others may take up to a week to line up a driver. Either way, we'll get you a driver for whatever move you need. Tell us your timeline on the quote form and we'll give you a realistic window.
Mandatory evacuation zones include large parts of Orleans, Jefferson, Plaquemines, and St. Bernard parishes. We monitor NOAA NHC during the season and run evacuation routes regularly. Pre-coordinating 48+ hours ahead of an order is essential.
May–October hits 105°F heat index with high dew points. Brachy and medical-case New Orleans trips run on pre-dawn or overnight departures with climate-controlled cabins. Cabin AC works against humidity, not just temperature.
