FAQs

What’s the difference between the pet taxi and pet transport services?
The pet taxi service covers everyday local rides — vet visits, groomer runs, daycare — right across Toronto. Pet transport is built for longer trips: moving a pet across Canada, coordinating a flight, or crossing into the US. Both use the same climate-controlled vehicles, crash-tested crates, and Pet First Aid-trained team, but pet transport adds route planning, airline coordination, and border-crossing paperwork support for trips that go well beyond the GTA. See the Toronto Pet Taxi page for local rides.

Does Your Dog Butler handle long-distance moves across Canada?
Yes — long-distance ground transport is one of the three core ways Your Dog Butler moves pets, alongside local rides and air/border crossings. Your pet travels in a climate-controlled vehicle with a crash-tested crate, safety clips and belts, and real-time “pupdate” photos along the route so you can follow the trip. This is a common option for pet owners relocating within Canada who’d rather avoid the stress of a cargo hold. Call 647-477-5858 to talk through your specific route.

Can you transport my pet across the US-Canada border?
Yes, cross-border ground and air transport between Canada and the US is one of Your Dog Butler’s core services, and the team manages the coordination involved. Requirements for crossing the border change and vary by circumstance — always confirm current rules directly with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) or U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and with your airline, before booking travel. For more involved international relocations, see the International Pet Relocation page, or call 647-477-5858 for a custom consultation on your route.

What paperwork does my pet need for a long-distance or cross-border trip?
Requirements depend on where your pet is traveling to and from, and they can change without notice. Your Dog Butler helps manage the process, but the current, authoritative rules always come from the relevant government agency — the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) for entry into Canada, or USDA APHIS for entry into the US. Always confirm current requirements with the relevant agency and your airline before booking. Call 647-477-5858 for a custom consultation on your pet’s specific paperwork needs.

Will my pet travel by air or by ground?
It depends on the distance, your pet’s temperament, and your timeline — both options are available. Ground transport keeps your pet in a familiar climate-controlled vehicle for the whole trip with regular breaks; air transport is faster for longer distances and uses IATA-compliant kennel standards. The booking team can walk through which option fits your pet and route best. Call 647-477-5858 to discuss your specific move.

How far in advance should I book pet transport?
As early as possible. Advanced booking is highly recommended to guarantee your spot and make sure any travel documents are in order well before your pet’s trip. Limited emergency availability may exist for local Toronto taxi needs, but long-distance and cross-border transport should be planned well ahead, especially if it involves a flight or border crossing. Call 647-477-5858 as soon as you have a moving date in mind.

Your Dog Butler was an incredible service!! I had to ship my cats across province and into a boarding facility and Your Dog Butler communicated so well with me and even helped me make more informed decisions becuase I had no idea about the whole animal flying process. They sent me photos of my cats when they arrived and called to tell me how they were doing AND sent me more photos when they arrived at the facility. Just made the experience so much less stressful!! It was best experience with Your Dog Butler. Would recommend them over and over again!!! :)

Highly recommend Your Dog Butler! We had a last-minute emergency and needed a rescue dog transported from his foster home to a boarding facility. They accommodated my frantic call with only about two hours’ notice. The transport was safe and professional, communication was excellent, and I received updates throughout the entire process. It gave me tremendous peace of mind during a very stressful situation. I am incredibly grateful for their flexibility, responsiveness, and care. I would absolutely use their services again.

Excellent service! We couldn't have managed our journey to the airport with our cat and all of our luggage without Your Dog Butler. Thank you for providing such an essential service to pet parents!

Your Dog Butler was very professional and timely about retrieving my new puppy from the airport. Would recommend them for anyone importing a new puppy from Europe. Mark, the driver, was very knowledgeable, and friendly.

My dog came in from Europe on a plane and we both got picked up from the cargo building and transferred to the address. Everything was well timed and organized. We even had a little break for the dog to stretch her legs and relieve. Definitely recommending this service!

I had a great experience working with Your Dog Butler to bring my rescue cat, Freddie, from the United States to Canada. Arlene was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process and guided me through all the paperwork and customs requirements. She was always quick to answer my questions and made what could have been a very stressful process feel much more manageable. Mark, the driver, was amazing as well. He kept me updated throughout the journey and made sure Freddie was doing well along the way, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Bringing a pet across the border can be overwhelming, but the whole team made the experience smooth and reassuring. Freddie arrived home safely, and I couldn't be more grateful. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet transport service! Thanks again for everything :)

Here is a polished, stellar review you can post: **⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Service and Ultimate Integrity!** I cannot recommend Arlene and the team at Your DOG BUTLER highly enough! Even though my plans changed and I ultimately didn’t end up needing to complete the service, the experience from beginning to end was absolutely amazing. From my very first inquiry, Arlene was incredibly kind, professional, and attentive. What truly set them apart was their communication—whenever I needed to connect, Arlene was immediately available on the phone to guide me through the process and answer all my questions. When I had to cancel, Arlene handled my $1,200 refund immediately and without any hassle. That level of honesty, care, and integrity is rare to find. It has been a truly great experience working with them, and I will absolutely be using Your DOG BUTLER in the future. If you want a team that genuinely cares about both you and your dog, look no further!

Amazing service throughout!! I had to relocate my Frenchie last minute after knowing it's not recommended for him to be cargo held. Arlene was incredibily quick in response and found me drivers in 1 day. The entire process was smooth and hassle-free, everything was well organized and communicated. I would highly recommend to trust them with your pets!

I found your dog’s butler service very last minute on Google. I desperately needed to get my dog to a grooming appt which is not close to us in Toronto. Choosing them was the best decision. Mark was super professional, great with our dog Maple. Overall, the best service. Maple is now groomed and was also excited about the journey slept through the evening.

We have used the services of Your Dog Butler for shipping our puppies, as well as grown dogs and we could not be happier with the service. Arlene goes above and beyond to find the best way to get the dog wherever you need it to go, and she’ll be up front and honest with you about feasibility and pricing. The transporters she uses are kind to the animals, experienced, and comfortable handling our crazy working dogs. If you’re shipping dogs using anyone else, you’re using the wrong shipper.
