Let me start by saying, Elaine and Martin are two incredible people who have built an incredible team! They, and their team, are the wonderful part. The unique part is how long we knew each other before my cat Charlie began his journey. Prior to retiring from Montana to Nanning, China, I needed to sell the house and most all of our worldly possessions. It all needed to condense it all to 5 suitcases, two carry-ons, and two back packs, and Charlie. I assumed this process would take a few months, so Elaine was first contacted in July of 2023 a week before the house went on the market. The moment the property went on the market, the housing market went south, and the interest rates went north. So, the house didn't close until March of 2024, and Charlie didn't make his journey until the 3rd week of May 2024. 3 months turned into 10 months. Those 10 months were very stressful for me! There was too much time for me to think. However, it gave us more time to create a plan that was best for Charlie and for me! It also gave Charlie more time to get used to his kennel (follow the proper kennel set up protocol!!). During that span of time, I spoke to Elaine and Martin countless times. I'm honored to say we became good friends! Trained stress professionals could not have helped me keep my stress level in check while I dealt with all the other issues involved with moving halfway around the world. Finding a home for my horses was heart breaking to say the least, Charlie was honestly my biggest priority in this relocation! There was no way he was staying behind! Once my travel arrangements were made, Elaine and Martin went to work on Charlie's travel arrangements. They made sure all the medical requirements were complete, and all the documents were in order. Charlie's trip would take three days from Montana to Nanning, China. He was to overnight in the care of relocation Agents in Los Angeles and Shanghai. The LA agent took care of Customs leaving the USA and the Shanghai agent handled getting Charlie through China Customs. Both of the Agents are tops in their field and were able to overcome some documentative issues without a hitch. Be patient, it takes a while getting through Customs! These people know what they are doing, and they thoroughly love helping our sweet pets. I will add, I've become good friends with Leon, the China Agent, we chat often. He went far beyond the call of duty making sure Charlie was comfortable! In a nutshell, Elaine and Martin are the tops! I love them both dearly. They will do amazing things caring for both you, your family, and your pets! They have put together a high-level team. They also work thoroughly with your veterinarian staff. They will hold your hands along the way. It's been almost for months since Charlie and I arrived, and they still check up on us. They will never make you feel like you're a bother, so ask questions and expect quick and thorough responses. In closing (yay!) Charlie arrived just fine in China! A little disoriented in his new accommodations, but he had no idea he was in China. We brought him to his new vet after I arrived. He had a little problem with climate change, hot and humid, but the vet said he was doing great. 6 weeks ago, we adopted a 4-month-old stray kitten. They just love each other! Elaine and Martin, God Bless you for your incredible care and commitment. With Love and Best Wishes, Charlie, Baby Bliss, Ling, and Gary Kidder, Nanning, China

Great care was taken to move my 15 year old cat from the States to South Africa. After talking to Elaine, I felt very confident that she was the right person to handle the move. She was communicative and caring and took care of everything. She gave me all the assistance possible where it came to the necessary vet visits, etc. and I knew that the safety and comfort of my cat was a priority. I did a door to door service for the transportation of my cat, and the folks that Elaine works with to collect and deliver my kitty were also superb. Travelling is stressful, but my cat handled the move well and I am very grateful to Elaine and her team for doing everything to make this as stress free as possible for both Lulu and I. I highly recommend PRI! They are the best!

From my first inquiries to reuniting with my two cats in UK - just last week! - Elaine and her team were very patient with all my questions, stress and general confusion with such a big move - USA to UK. Their sincere care for my pets, professionalism, clear and regular communication and fair budget, all made it my choice from the multitude of options I researched for months. I would not hesitate to recommend PRI, and encourage anyone planning a big move with our precious family members to give them a call. Jan.

We made a big move from the U.S. to Spain, and since we have kids, handling the aspects of moving our large dog with us was overwhelming. Instead, we found PRI, and I couldn't be more happy with how Elaine handled the process from beginning to end. Everyone involved was professional and kind and took excellent care of our dog, who really is a member of the family. I would not hesitate to use Elaine again to move our pet overseas.

Wow, could I have moved my dog from Colorado to Australia without Elaine and her team? Definitely not (and I am an organized person)! There were SO many requirements and logistics I didn’t even know where to start or when they would end- and Elaine made it all feel doable- and then, it was all, miraculously, done! My happy Cavapoo arrived just as happy as always to our family down under after months of preparation, required immunizations, multiple preparatory vet visits (all protocol), three flights and 10 days of quarantine. Incredible! So so grateful for all of Elaine’s expertise, hand-holding and guidance along the way for us - and our vet- that made this move for our pup possible!!!

An international move is stressful enough without having to worry about pets!! Elaine took all of the stress out of relocating our two cats from the USA to Japan. She handled everything- picked them up at our house, and they were boarded in a wonderful pet hotel until we arrived in Japan and were reunited. I highly recommend PRI for your peace of mind.

Elaine and her team were super communicative and organized. Our vet even commented on how much she enjoyed working with Elaine. I don’t want to move again, but if I have to, I will use PRI!

I spent hours upon hours trying to find a solution for moving my 5 y.o. border terrier from Japan to Luxembourg this summer. As a single person managing all the other aspects of the move, I was concerned that trying to manage my pet's transport would be far too stressful for myself and for my dog. When I found PRI, it was nothing short of kismet. Elaine was remarkable in arranging every aspect of my dog's travel, and managed working with the Japanese and European authorities with ease, even taking extra steps to ensure his medical check could be managed efficiently with his export. She communicated consistently and clearly throughout the weeks leading up to the travel. I honestly never thought moving my dog such a long distance could be so stress free. I arranged door-to-door chaperone service and my dog arrived at my new apartment every bit his normal self; which was a genuine surprise and huge relief. I consider this the best money I have ever spent. If you are reading this and you are looking for a custom, specialized arrangement for your pet, please please contact PRI.
