Boston Service Area
Door-to-door ground pet transport across Boston — Beacon Hill, Back Bay, the South End, Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline, Newton. University-relocation coordination, medical-corridor service for Mass General and Brigham, and Hanscom AFB military service.
Boston pet transport runs on three patterns. First, universities — Harvard, MIT, BU, Northeastern, Tufts, BC, plus the broader Cambridge research ecosystem — drive August move-ins and May move-outs that fill our calendar. Book those windows 4-6 weeks ahead if you can. Second, the Boston medical corridor (Mass General, Brigham, Boston Children's, Dana-Farber) generates patient relocations where pet timing has to flex around treatment schedules. We handle those with date flexibility built in. Third, finance and tech relocations between Boston and NYC are steady year-round.
Boston operationally is similar to NYC and SF — narrow streets, doorman buildings, alternate-side parking, COI requirements for moves through some condo associations. Beacon Hill, Back Bay, and the South End all have building rules our coordinator goes over with you before you book. Cross-country runs leave on the Mass Pike (I-90) west to Albany and beyond, or south on I-95 toward NYC and the corridor. Winter brings nor'easters that can shut down I-90 west through the Berkshires; we monitor NWS Boston and flex without penalty when conditions force it. Hanscom AFB (Bedford, ~20 miles NW) is our regular Massachusetts military pickup.
Typical price ranges for routes we run most often. The low end is about what the quote comes to for one healthy adult pet; the high end leaves room for gas prices and your exact route. Every quote is itemized and personalized.
Ranges shown are for standard, healthy adult pets. Flat-faced breeds (Bulldogs, Pugs, Frenchies, Boxers, etc.) add $0.15 per mile (at least $75), a pet 8 or older adds one $150 senior care fee for the trip, and a medical care plan adds $150 or $250, each as its own line on your quote.
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.
Harvard, MIT, BU, Northeastern, Tufts, BC, and the broader Cambridge research community drive August move-ins and May move-outs. Those windows fill fast — book 4-6 weeks ahead.
Mass General, Brigham, Boston Children's, Dana-Farber — patient relocations from across the country to Boston-area hospitals are routine. We coordinate pickups around treatment schedules and flex dates when treatment plans shift.
Narrow streets, walk-ups, COI requirements common. Tell us the building name on the quote and our coordinator goes over its rules with you before you book. Some Beacon Hill blocks rule out a full-size van — we'll send a smaller vehicle if needed.
Nor'easters and ice storms can shut down I-90 west through the Berkshires and I-91 north. We monitor NWS Boston and flex pickups without penalty when weather is forecast on departure day.
Door-to-door pickup and delivery across the metro. This isn't exhaustive — if your address is in the area, we can get there.
Pricing scales with distance, not with specific endpoints. For trips between 0 and 1,000 miles, the total typically runs $400 to $2,000. Between 1,000 and 2,000 miles, typically $2,000 to $3,600. Between 2,000 and 3,000 miles, typically $3,600 to $5,200. Flat-faced breed care adds $0.15 per mile (at least $75), and a medical care plan $150 or $250.
Yes, regularly. Book early for August and May windows — they fill up fast. Tell us your move date as soon as you have it, and your address (for building access prep).
Many Beacon Hill, Back Bay, and South End condos require a Certificate of Insurance. Ask us before you book: tell us the building name and what it requires, and we'll tell you up front whether we can provide it.
Yes. Patient relocations to Boston-area hospitals are routine. We coordinate pickups around treatment schedules and flex dates when plans shift.
Yes to both. Hanscom is our Massachusetts military pickup; BOS is curbside for hand-offs.
