Hello dear Tamara

Thank you very very much. Everything is okay. Pero is fine. All worked perfectly.

Finally we are in family circle.

I was without internet (airport’s Wi-Fi not worked with my phone). But yesterday we already sent my work permission to agent. She is very very nice lady.

Thank you again darling.

Biiig hello from Pero to whole team.

Many many thanks ❤️❤️❤️

Perla (Domestic Shorthair) // Doha, Qatar to Adliswil, Switzerland

Hi Karin,

I really want to thank you and Maria to have arranged everything in a perfect way, really flawless!
In our move to Switzerland, we had issues, small or big, in any aspect, apart from Perla's move. I think this is the best feedback I can give you.
You arranged everything perfectly and on top of that, Perla did not suffer at all this period (hotel + flight) and she seems very happy for this new adventure.
In case we will have to do another move in the future, we will for sure contact you again.

Thanks a lot to both of you.

Mesh Mesha (Persian) & Jelka (Spanish Water Dog) // Willerzell, Switzerland to Nairobi, Kenya

Dear Marcel, Sébastien, Enzo, Peter and everyone involved!

A big thank you to all of you to make the travel for MeshMesha and Jelka so smooth! They arrived very well.

In the meanwhile Jelka is already a proud holder of an annual membership to Karura forest and has been there every day. MeshMesha is not totally amused for being hold inside. She sleeps a lot or sits at the window waiting for getting out. We hope to find soon a place to stay where we all can settle in.

Thank you also for the support of us and the flexibility in the organisation of the journey! I know I can fully trust this team:-)

Have a good start into the week,

Bettina, Marcel and Marc-Andri
with Elka and MeshMesha

Tono (Abyssinian) // Basel, Switzerland to Berlin, Germany

Dear Karin,

Thank you so much for the message.  I hope that you had a safe and sound trip back to Switzerland.

Now I would like to express my best gratitude to your sincere and well-organized care for Tono.  I am 100% sure that we chose the best solution for him upon our relocation.

Now it’s my turn: I am going to fly to Berlin this evening.  Hope that he would welcome me😁

Thank you, again, for the service you provided for all of us.  I wish you a pleasant weekend.

Best regards,
Masayuki

Gibson (Swiss Shepherd), Angel (Cockatiel) & Bean (Hamster) // Haute Nendaz CH - Johannesburg ZA

Dear Sébastien, Nathalie and the entire ‘Moving Animals’ team,

You are a gift- thank you for making our recent pets’ relocation from Switzerland to South Africa a seamless experience, a wonderful and exciting adventure for all animals and humans involved. Our dogs Gibson and Zigzag, our cockatiel Angel, and our hamster Bean were embraced into the ‘Moving Animals’ family and made to feel completely happy and ‘at home’ along their journey.

From the very first contact I had with you, I felt at ease and filled with trust in you, your experience in the field of pet relocation, and your competence and expertise. I never had a moment’s worry throughout.

Your generous care and daily up-dates were invaluable. Your warmth and kindness are soothing.

I would recommend ‘Moving Animals’ in Zürich to any person needing a pet relocation (door-to-door) service; I would not hesitate, in fact it would be my utter pleasure, to call upon ‘Moving Animals’ for any of my own future pet relocation needs.....

Deep gratitude and respect,
Natalie

Zac (Toy Poodle) // Zug, Switzerland to Sydney, Australia

Hi Tamara ,

Thank you so much for your help, support and professionalism to ensure Zac’s journey to Sydney went smoothly and as planned.

No doubt it was an epic journey for him at his age. It took him quite some time to adjust to his new surroundings. We were concerned is hearing had also been affected. It’s less than a month now since his arrival and he is doing so well. Sleeping, eating, long walks and his hearing has returned to normal.

Many thanks 🙏, we are very happy to have Zac home with us in Sydney.

Wishing you all the best.

Kind regards,
Dianne, Peter & Zac

Margot & Rio // Dallas, TX, USA, to Basel, Switzerland

Hi Marcel,

I just wanted to let you know the critters are settling in well, their new favorite hobby is watching our neighbors from the balcony together! Thank you so much for making this process as painless as possible and for taking such good care of our babies!

Best,

Frances, Michael, Margot & Rio Shaffo

Frankie (Mininature Schnauzer) // Rüschlikon, Switzerland to Melbourne, VIC, Australia

Hi Nathalie,

Frankie is home safe and sound.  And loving Australia already.

Thank you so much for your help.

Take care

Lisa

Maddie (Miniature Schnauzer) // Manila, Philippines to Geneva, Switzerland

Dear Marcel,

We reunited with Maddie last evening with great joy. I would like to thank you and your team for the professionalism and empathy with which you managed (despite the very challenging current context) the transfer of Maddie from Manila to Geneva. She seems to have endured the long journey without any problems. Many thanks again. I will not hesitate to recommend you to my colleagues and/or relatives who will need your services in the future.

Take care and be safe.

Emilie (Domestic Shorthair cat) // Cape Town, South Africa to Margon, France

Dear Valerie, Marcel, Dominyc and Jimmy,

A note to thank you all very much for your personal part in the safe return of Emilie to Margon in France.

Emilie appears to be as stoical as ever after her 4 day journey; she was in good form on arrival here on Monday evening-poor Jimmy had a return journey to Nice which was much appreciated.

I am impressed by all the care and attention and thank you so much for all the photos—that meant a lot to me.

The weeks since Lockdown in SA have been a nightmare in terms of uncertainty re our return, that of Emilie and we are so happy to all be reunited here in Margon.

I thank each and every one of you for all your attention, help and support. The whole exercise has been one of expense, but to quote, we are in unprecedented times and must continue to value health happiness and safety as a priority over costs.

My very best wishes to you all and many thanks from myself, Ian and of course Emilie!

Gaston // Lucerne, Switzerland to Budapest, Hungary

Dear all at Moving Animals,

Quite simply put, you have made a super stressful experience of moving my old cat from Switzerland to Hungary an absolute breeze!

My heartfelt thank you to Karin, who has gone above and beyond in making sure Gaston is as comfortable as possible! And thank you to Nathalie, who took wonderful care of him while waiting in the cattery before our move! Also grateful to Marcel, who made “taking my baby away” from our old home very reassuring. And at last but not least, to the team at BudapestVet, and especially to Emoke, who was also absolutely wonderful!

My old, sometimes grumpy and completely inflexible cat arrived much less shaken after 2 days, than making a 30-minute trip to the local vet! He is super content in our new home, and only after a few days, he completely owns the place!

Thank you again. Absolutely fantastic job!

Quincy & Kyla // Basel, Switzerland to Dallas, TX, USA

Marcel,

Thank you for organizing a safe journey for them! We are so glad it was your company who took care of them once again. My parents reported they were both well and happy upon arrival. We appreciated the pictures and updates you all sent along the way. Thank you for taking such good care of them.

Kind regards,

Summer

Cookie // Zurich CH - Singapore SG

Dear Nathalie,

Good morning to you! We are very happy to inform you that Cookie and us have landed safely in Singapore and Cookie is now back at his (our) favourite warm bed. We want to say a super big THANK YOU to you and the team in making this miracle happen (within 24 hours or less)!

Nathalie - We cannot believe that you are relatively new in this profession. You have been calm and composed, and super responsive to our requests and questions. We know we can trust you to do the right thing. We also appreciate you showing much care to Cookie's well-being during the whole process. Congratulations for the many 'first-time's you have now earned while handling this request. We know you will be a huge asset to your team, and many pets will benefit from your professional work.

I know you and your team are working from home, so to cheer you on, we are sharing a few photos of Cookie at home resting and from his past adventures around the world - Enjoy!

Plenty of virtual hugs from us and licks from Cookie!

Casimir & Sirius (Siamese cats) // Basel, Switzerland to Helsinki, Finland

Dear all,

Casimir and Sirius have arrived safely - and they’re already beginning to settle in, see below :)

Thank you all so much for taking such good care of them! Thanks to your efforts especially over the past couple of days, this great adventure really did go as smoothly as possible despite the unplanned challenges along the way. We really appreciate it, and I’m sure so do our cats!

Kind regards,
David

Lilou (Chocolate Labrador Retriever) // Houston, Texas, USA to Nice, France

Hi Marcel,

Everything went very well! :)  I want to thank you so very much for the care you have taken for my dog.  Lilou is home with me, healthy and happy.  I will certainly keep you in mind for any future travels.

Sincerely,

Anissa

Lily // Brighton, UK – Zurich, Switzerland

Dear Karin, Marcel & Catherine

Apologies for the delay in contacting you, however I just wanted to say a massive thank you for transporting Lily so safely and well to Switzerland. She settled in really quickly (see attached!) and I'm thrilled to have her back. I was really impressed with the organisation of the whole process from start to finish.

Thanks again and best wishes,

Joanna

Squash // Singapore SG – San Francisco, CA, USA

Dear Marcel,

Squash is settling in great! Even with the jet lag and the insecurity of being in a new home, he seems totally normally! It all appears like he was treated so well through the journey.

Thank you for the great support and delivering our precious dog to us so smoothly!

All the best,
Katie

Gizmo (Bloodhound - Labrador mix) // Morristown, NJ, USA, to Arlesheim, Switzerland

Gizmo has finally stopped exploring and settled down for a nap. We wanted to thank you all again for taking such wonderful care of her on this adventure. She (and we!) are happy to be reunited at our new home in Switzerland!

We wish you guys (and Sebastien) all the best.

With much gratitude-

Ellen

Mork & Mindi // Johannesburg ZA - Ascona CH

Dear Dominyc, Hein, Nathalie, Tamara and Sébastien

We cannot thank you and your respective teams enough for transporting our beautiful furry animals!

They stepped out of the van after travelling 24 hours door to door from South Africa to Switzerland and they looked like they had just been on the best walk ever.
They showed no signs of distress whatsoever and just wagged their tails fiercely!

Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for this smooth transfer.

Dominyc, a big shout out to you for fielding so many of my emails over the last 4 months and endless questions as we prepared them for this journey.

We will make sure to spread the word and highly recommend your services!

Best regards
Janine and family, including Mork & Mindi

Cali & Bam // Oakland, CA, USA – Pratteln, Switzerland

Dear All,

Cali and Bam arrived this evening in great shape! Bam was singing the song of his people, but was quick and happy to be out of his crate and exploring his new home.
Cali and I took a brisk walk in the evening cold and then settled in with the family for dinner.

Both pets are now (totally) passed out on Cali's bed, and happy to be reunited. We all are!

Thank you again and so much for your support and service during this dynamic time. We really appreciate it!

Take good care,
Marina

Paddington (Mi-Ki) // Brookeville, MD, USA – Basel, Switzerland

Dear Marcel

We are happy to report that Paddington  arrived safe and sound today. The movers were extremely professional and helpful.

We are very impressed with the quality of service you provided and very grateful that you got him here safely.

Thank you for everything.
Ross

Riley (Bernese Mountain Dog) // Yaroomba, QLD, Australia to Basel, Switzerland

Marcel and his team are truly dedicated to their work. From our first contact the level of professionalism and care taken are indicative of the great love of animals they have and we were certain that our pet was in the safest of hands.

Thank you again for all that you have done for us.

Kind Regards
Sonia

Joey & Darwin // Zurich, Switzerland to Melbourne, VIC, Australia

Hi Tamara,

It all went well! They are settling into the new place, and we are having lots of cuddles.

Thank you so much for all your hard work to get them home. I think you went above and beyond your job, and I am very grateful.

Catherine

Pixie & Cookie (cats) with Donatello & Raphael (turtles) // Thônex, Switzerland to Dubai, UAE

Dear Karin, Amy,

We are happy to report that all the pets have arrived safely and are doing fine.

The turtles are enjoying their new bath tub until their tank arrives 😂

Pixie and Cookie are settling in slowly. As expected, Pixie seemed a little more shocked than Cookie, who is ever so curious 😊 We hope they were not too much trouble!

We would sincerely like to thank everyone involved in this move. I personally expected the cats to arrive in a much more stressed state and by the looks of them, they must have been really well taken care of. For that, we thank you all for making this journey as stress free as possible.

I'm attaching a few pictures of the cats starting their new life 😊 The turtles have made a mess already so we will spare you the details 😂

We really can't thank you enough for taking such good care of them. I am sure our four legged family would agree.

All the best,

Dejana & Ashik

Charlie (Shih Tzu X Maltese) // Rolle, Switzerland - Sydney, NSW, Australia

Dear Nathalie, Dear Tamara,

We are overjoyed to have Charlie back! A few hours ago he landed at Sydney Airport.

We wish to thank you and the whole Moving Animals team again for doing such a great job. We were truly impressed by your kindness, your patience when answering our questions, your engagement to solve the glitches that popped up along the way, and the way you really love the animals placed in your care.

Wishing you the very best for the future.

Yours,
Karim, Nicole, Idris and Laïla

Sandy (Labrador Retriever) // Commugny, Switzerland to Washington D.C., USA

Dear Tamara, dear Marcel,

A big thank you again to both of you and your team mates for all the help with Sandy's travel to the U.S.  
It was reassuring for us to know that she was in good hands while we were travelling, and that she was well taken care of during her trip.

Sandy needed a big sleep when she arrived, but she seems to have bounced back from the excitement of travelling and she is settling well in our new home.

We really appreciate your professional and kind assistance with her move.

Best wishes,
Barbara

Brodie (Border Collie) // Frequent traveller between Bern, Switzerland and Arlington, VA, USA

Dear Karin
Dear Chris
Dear Tamara

Brodie is safely home with us in Bern. We are so happy to have him with us. Thank you all so much organizing his journey and for looking after him so well. I don’t think it’s ever a fun experience for a dog, but I know that you all make it so much better for the dog and for us as well.

Thanks again

Michelle

Pearly (Maltese) // Budapest, Hungary to Geneva, Switzerland

Dear Marcel / Karin,

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all of your help over the past day. I have been shocked at how fantastic the whole process has been. You and the team have gone beyond any expectation I had about what “service with care” actually means.

You have made our family extremely happy.

All our love.
