Pet Relocation

Moving with Pets

When you are in the middle of a relocation you may not consider how it may affect your pets. When relocating with pets, it is important that you do so with care.

The below pet relocation tips will help you transport your animals safely to your new location.

Tips for Safely Moving your Pet

  • Microchips to be Safe

Whether you are moving a long distance or just around the block, your pets may become nervous during the relocation process and try to run away. An easy solution to be able to locate your pet if it does run away is to have your vet insert a microchip.

  • Keep the House Stress Free

On the day of the move your house will be filled with noise and people that your animals are not used to. To help keep them calm, it is best to keep your pets in a room where they will not be disturbed. Be sure to put familiar things such as their toys, beds, etc. in the room to help relax them. You might also consider taking your pets to a friend or family member’s home while the movers are loading and unloading your items.

  • Travel Safely

Use crates, kennels or pet-approved seat belts when traveling with pets. If your animals roam freely in the vehicle two things can happen. One, they can distract you while you are driving and potentially cause an accident. Two, they can become injured if you stop suddenly or become involved in an accident. Because of the potential danger this is one of the most important pet relocation tips.

If you follow these tips your pets will be safer and more relaxed during the relocation process. In turn, this can help alleviate quite a bit of stress for you as well.

These guys were amazing. Everybody at Oakley was polite, professional, and did an excellent job for a very fair price. A few days later all our stuff arrived in Colorado in perfect condition — every last item tracked and accounted for. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

I had a great experience with the movers from Oakley Relocation. They showed up on time, installed protective coverings in my new house, then worked diligently all day to unload and unpack my belongings. Very professional.
DH Daniel Hooge Google review · via Google
The team was incredible and went above and beyond in moving our family — and so kind to us and our one-year-old. We live on base so we were nervous about accessibility, but the team made it happen! Every single thing was carefully wrapped and taken care of like it was their own.

Efficient, respectful of my property, friendly, and cooperative. Hector, Enrique, and Mark came to my home twice for my overseas move — first to package and second to remove. They communicated every step of the way.
HM Hannah Miyamoto Local Guide · via Google
Oakley Relocation was a great resource to get us moved from So Cal to Idaho. They were timely, efficient and friendly during what could be a stressful time. Mayra (office) and Juan (driver) were excellent.
MC Mark C. Nampa, ID · via Yelp
Tyler, Marcus, Joey, Frank, Justin, Chase, and Joe did an excellent job packing our home. There was a clear plan to pack a 5,000+ square-foot house in one day, with clear communication among the team and great respect for our home.

Trevor Smith and his team did a fantastic job moving our belongings from San Diego to Dayton, Ohio. Trevor was excellent in analyzing our needs and his team did a super job packing our belongings. Great job!
TB Tony B. Dayton, OH · via Yelp
Hands down the most impressive, top-quality moving service. We hired Oakley Relocation to pack our entire home and move us into our new one. The entire team was incredible, professional, and so thorough.

Tyler, Marcus, Joey, and Lewis were truly professional. They communicated well and ensured the proper set-up of my items throughout my house. They knew the ins and outs of the military move process, which made it easy.
PB Patrick Buhr Google review · via Google
Facing two moves — one local and one out of state — was overwhelming. Oakley Relocation took care of every nut and bolt, from a walk-through to building personalized crates for our bronzes and artwork. Tyler and David's teams were polished and professional. I can't recommend them more highly.
GD Gina D. Rancho Santa Fe, CA · via Yelp
My husband and I moved from Brentwood, CA to Oceanside, CA. My experience with Oakley Relocation made the move seamless and easy. We had used them for another move two years ago and were so pleased we came right back.

The team (Tyler, Lewis, and Mark) did an outstanding job all around. They were careful with our belongings, asked how we wanted things packed, and were polite and punctual through packing and unpacking. Would recommend 100%.
ST Shaun T. Lemon Grove, CA · via Yelp
Thank you Oakley Relocation for a great start to our move back to Ohio. Our crew was led by Hector Ortiz — we had Hector on a previous move and he once again did a marvelous job. He treats your home and possessions like his own.
KS Kevin Spencer Google review · via Google
The entire experience was as efficient and pleasant as we could have hoped — from Nick, who provided our estimate, to the crew (Hector Ortiz, Enrique, Chris and Angel) who were efficient, careful with our possessions, and very friendly. Highly recommend.

We had a great experience with Oakley Relocation packing our belongings for our move from California to Tennessee. Tyler and his crew, Joe and George, were amazing — extremely professional and courteous.
BT Brian Thompson Google review · via Google
Oakley Relocation did a great job! Trevor was extremely detailed in his inventory, so we knew exactly what our move would cost. Juan, our driver, and the crews were polite, professional and experienced. Every promise was kept — including a refund because our weight came in under the estimate.
