FAQs
Is transporting a cat different from transporting a dog?
Yes, in a few important ways. All cats travel crated for their own safety and to keep them calm, while dogs generally don’t need to be crated unless requested. Cats also tend to be more sensitive to unfamiliar motion and noise, so the ride is kept as quiet and steady as possible, with climate control and a secured crate rather than open seating. The core standards — crash-tested equipment, a Pet First Aid-trained driver, real-time “pupdate” photos — apply to every ride, cat or dog.
Will my cat be stressed during the ride?
Most cats do better than owners expect once they’re in a calm, climate-controlled vehicle with a secured, familiar-feeling crate rather than a crowded transit system or a stranger’s car. Your Dog Butler’s drivers are trained to keep the environment quiet and steady, and you’ll get real-time “pupdate” photos so you can see how your cat is doing along the way. If your cat has specific anxiety needs, mention it when you book so the team can plan accordingly.
Do cats need to be in a carrier for the ride?
Yes — all cats travel crated for the full ride, which keeps them secure and reduces stress from unfamiliar motion and sounds. Your Dog Butler uses crash-tested crates with proper ventilation and safety clips, belts, and gates to keep the carrier steady throughout the trip. If you don’t have a carrier that fits your cat comfortably, mention it when booking so the team can advise on options.
Can you transport my cat internationally or across the border?
Yes — cross-border and international cat relocation follows the same air and land border crossing option available for every trip, with IATA-compliant kennel standards for flight-bound cats. Requirements change by destination, so always confirm current rules with the relevant government agency and your airline before booking. For full relocation planning, see the International Pet Relocation page, or call 647-477-5858 for a custom consultation on your cat’s specific route.
What’s the difference between local and long-distance cat transport?
Local rides cover everyday Toronto trips — vet visits, groomer runs, moving day across town — with home pickup and drop-off. Long-distance rides are for cats relocating across Canada or further, with the same climate-controlled, crash-tested setup but a longer route and more planning around rest stops and timing. Both keep your cat crated and secure the whole way. Call 647-477-5858 to talk through which option fits your move.
Can I ride along with my cat?
Yes, for most local and long-distance rides you’re welcome to ride along in a full-size back-seat bench next to your cat’s crate. The one exception is cats traveling by air, where airline and airport rules limit who can accompany the kennel. Let the booking team know if riding along matters to you so they can plan the vehicle and route accordingly.
How do I book cat transport with Your Dog Butler?
Reserve online or call 647-477-5858, and the booking team will confirm your pickup window, route, and any special handling your cat needs. Advanced booking is highly recommended to guarantee your spot, especially for long-distance or cross-border trips that involve flight or customs timing. Limited emergency availability may exist for local Toronto taxi needs, so call to check if your trip is time-sensitive.
