Gentle Transportation for Small Pets

Small animals are more delicate than larger pets, and many are sensitive to temperature changes, loud noises, and sudden movements. Whether your rabbit, guinea pig, or hamster is headed to a vet visit, specialty appointment, or boarding, every ride is handled with extra care.


Erin’s veterinary hospital background means she understands how easily small pets can become stressed, and how much a gentle, steady approach helps them stay calm from pickup to drop-off.

Small companion animals often feel most comfortable when traveling with familiar sights, scents, and routines. Whether it’s their regular carrier, favorite bedding, hay, or a well-loved hideaway, those familiar comforts can help make the ride a calmer experience.


Many small pets, like rabbits and guinea pigs, are prey animals that feel safest when they have a place to hide. A cozy carrier with a hideaway or a light cover gives them a sense of security, even when everything outside is new.

Comfort Comes in the Little Things

Small pets travel best when their routine stays as familiar as possible. That’s why Erin talks with you before every ride.


Before your pet travels, Erin will discuss:


  • Preferred carrier or enclosure
  • Favorite comfort items
  • Feeding schedule
  • Medications
  • Special care instructions
  • Anything else that helps your pet feel comfortable


The more Erin knows about your pet, the smoother the ride can be.

  • How should I prepare my small pet for a ride?

    Start by making sure your pet is comfortable in a secure carrier or travel enclosure. If they don’t use it often, try leaving it open at home a few days ahead with familiar bedding inside so it feels safe and familiar. If your pet has special care instructions, share them when you request your ride so the trip can be planned around their needs.

  • What type of carrier works best?

    Most small companion animals travel safest in a secure, well-ventilated carrier or enclosure suited to their species. A carrier your pet already knows is often best, since a familiar space helps reduce stress during the ride. Not sure if yours will work? Erin is happy to talk it through with you.

  • What should I send with my pet?

    It’s always helpful to send the items your pet uses every day. Depending on the species, that may include hay, pellets, fresh food, favorite bedding, toys, medications, or written care instructions. Familiar scents and routines help small pets feel more at ease on the ride.

  • Can more than one pet travel together?

    Yes, in many cases. Bonded rabbits, a pair of guinea pigs, two pet birds, or other compatible small companions can often travel together when it’s safe and appropriate. Each request is reviewed based on your pets’ species, travel setup, and individual needs. Additional pets are $10 each. See our Pricing page for details.

  • What if my pet needs medication or special care?

    Every pet is different, and some need extra care during the ride. If your small pet takes medication, follows a specific feeding schedule, has mobility challenges, or has other special needs, share those details when you request your ride. Knowing your pet’s routine and any veterinary instructions ahead of time helps everything go smoothly.

  • What if I don’t have a travel carrier?

    If you don’t have a suitable carrier, or aren’t sure which type is best, let Erin know when you request your ride. Depending on your pet’s size and needs, she may have a carrier available or can recommend one so your pet travels safely and comfortably.

  • Is there an extra charge for small pets?

    No. Small pets are transported at the same rates as any other pet. See our Pricing page for details.

  • How do you keep my pet comfortable in hot or cold weather?

    Small pets can be sensitive to temperature, so Erin keeps the vehicle at a comfortable temperature and limits time in the heat or cold during pickup and drop-off.
