Door to door
How it works from Willow Ridge.
From your Willow Ridge door to family, friends or a sitter, with a calm hello at both ends.
Local pet transport is our everyday ride. Your dog or cat is collected from your door and taken straight to wherever they need to be: a friend looking after them for the weekend, a pet sitter’s home, a family member across town or a new home after a move.
Before the day we agree the pickup address, the destination, the person handing your pet over and the person receiving them. We also note how your pet travels, so the carrier or crate, the blanket and the hello at the door all suit them.
On the day it’s simple. A proper hello at your door, a calm settle into their travel space, a direct ride and a handover to the person you named, with their bag and any notes passed on. We let you know when they’ve arrived.
The ride, stop by stop.
Two handovers and a calm ride in between.
Before the day
We plan the ride with you
Addresses, both contacts, the date and how your pet likes to travel. If anything is unclear, we call you to talk it through.
At your door
A proper hello
We say hello, check their bag and notes with you and settle them into their crate, harness or carrier.
On the road
Straight there
A direct ride in a secured travel space, with something from home beside them. No detours, no extra stops.
At the other end
A named handover
We hand your pet to the person you named, pass on their bag and notes, and let you know they’ve arrived.
Riding with a dog, or a cat.
What changes for each passenger on a local pet transport.
Dogs
- Ride in a secured crate or clipped in with a harness they know
- On their lead when you open the door, so the hello stays calm
- A short walk before pickup helps them settle for the ride
Cats
- Always travel in their own closed carrier
- A blanket that smells like home goes in with them
- Handed over still in their carrier, door closed
When plans change on the day.
Sometimes the person receiving your pet is running late, or a different friend will be at the door. Call us as soon as you know and we’ll update the handover. We only hand your pet to the person you’ve named, so a quick call keeps everything on track.
If nobody is at the other end when we arrive, we call the contact you gave us and then you. Your pet stays settled in their travel space while we sort it out together.
Pickups in Willow Ridge.
A few things that help the hello at your door go smoothly.
Long driveways
Tell us where we should stop and which door to come to, so we don’t surprise anyone.
Shy cats
Have them in their carrier before we arrive, in a quiet room. We’ll keep the hello short and calm.
Quiet streets
If your street is narrow, tell us the best place to pull in.
Before ride day.
- Both addresses and where we should stop
- A name and phone number for each end
- Their carrier, crate or harness ready by the door
- A small labeled bag with lead, blanket and food
- Any notes the person at the other end should have
Where are they off to next?
Tell us the pickup, the destination and who will meet them. We’ll plan the rest of the ride with you.
