Detroit Service Area
Door-to-door ground pet transport across metro Detroit — downtown Detroit, Royal Oak, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Dearborn, Ann Arbor. Selfridge ANGB military service, Great Lakes winter routing, and cross-country runs on I-75, I-94, and I-96.
Detroit metro covers 4,000+ square miles from Ann Arbor to Port Huron, from Plymouth to Royal Oak. Auto-industry and tech-industry relocations drive most of our Detroit work — people moving in for jobs at Ford, GM, Stellantis, Rocket Companies, or the growing Michigan tech scene, and people moving out when life takes them elsewhere. Ann Arbor (U of M) adds a steady volume of university-related relocations. Cross-country runs head south on I-75 toward Cincinnati and Atlanta, east on I-94 toward Chicago, or west-then-south through Indianapolis.
Detroit winters are serious business. Lake-effect snow off Lake Huron and Lake Michigan can drop heavy bands on I-96 and I-94 with short notice; I-75 north toward the bridges (and Canada crossings) can lock up in icy conditions. November through March we check the NWS winter-weather advisories daily and flex trip schedules without penalty. Selfridge Air National Guard Base near Mount Clemens is our regular Michigan military pickup location. We schedule around your orders: date changes more than 72 hours before pickup are free when a driver is available, and the rush fee can be waived case by case.
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.
A steady share of Detroit work is job-relocation tied to Ford, GM, Stellantis, Rocket, or tech firms. We handle empty-apartment delivery via property manager, coordinate ahead-of-human arrivals, and handle full cross-country relocations on a dispatchable basis.
Great Lakes snow bands and ice storms are common. We monitor NWS winter advisories daily and flex pickup days without penalty when a serious storm is forecast. Drivers carry full winter gear and heated cabins.
