We worked directly with Ted and he made the process SO easy and the prices were very competitive compared to the other vendors we researched. We found out a few days before our departure that O'hare cancelled all live animal travel in cargo and Ted was incredibly helpful during this stressful time. He called the airlines and ORD directly on our behalf to find a solution. If you need to send a pet internationally in the cargo hold, Pets in Transit is a great choice!

Ted helped us through every step of the process, explaining clearly and patiently all that needed to be done, checking and re-checking our paperwork, and ironing out all of the details for us. With constantly changing rules and regulations for international pet travel (especially to the UK) it was great to have someone as good as Ted to help us get through it all. I was especially pleased that he was the only person who worked with us for the entire process, so I didn't have to keep re-explaining our particular situation or needs. On the day of travel Ted met us near O'Hare where we handed off our two beloved dogs for their flight to London. He even texted us pictures as they were checked into the flight and let us know when they had safely taken off. 12 hours later we were all reunited in London after an extremely smooth process. I can't recommend Ted and Pets in Transit enough. He took so much of the stress out of a very stressful situation and took great care of our dogs. At first I thought the price for this service was high, but after we arrived we agreed that we would have paid double if we had known he would make it all so easy.

WARNING: I would not use this trainer. I would give zero stars if I could…read more ***Update to his response at end of my review. Very disappointing and alarming experience with Phil, the trainer/owner. I brought my 15-month-old Samoyed puppy for his first training session. My puppy is a sweet, friendly, loving dog who gets along with everyone. He is simply young, energetic, and still learning. The most alarming part of the session involved stairs. My puppy has never used stairs because we live in a ranch home, and Phil knew this. Despite my expressing concern, he forced my puppy to the stairs instead of gently leading, took my puppy higher up the stairs and then let go of his leash. My puppy jumped down at least six concrete steps onto a concrete surface and landed awkwardly on his leg. He was clearly frightened and panicking. I also had to tell Phil that he was standing on my puppy's back paw. Phil also knew that my puppy had been dealing with separation anxiety and that we had been actively working on it. When my puppy became excited and barked, Phil placed him alone in a utility/closet area. When my puppy panicked, Phil said, "There is the separation anxiety coming out," and then turned off the light and left him locked in the dark room. I also had concerns about the facility, including the availability and condition of drinking water, slippery flooring, and whether vaccination status was actually being verified for all dogs attending. Based on what I personally witnessed, I was extremely uncomfortable with the handling and training methods and did not feel that my puppy was in the hands of someone I could trust. I will not be returning or continuing training with Phil. MY RESPONSE TO PHIL' S RESPONSE: His response does not address the specific conduct I described or the reason I will never bring my puppy back to this facility. He explains his "general" approach to stairs, but that is not what happened. He knew my puppy had never used stairs. I expressed my concern. He took him higher up the stairs, and then RELEASED HIS LEASH. My puppy subsequently jumped down at least six concrete steps onto a concrete floor and landed awkwardly on his leg while clearly frightened and panicking. I also had to tell him he was standing on his back paw. Saying that he used this procedure with "countless puppies and dogs" does not change what he did to my puppy. Likewise, his description of his training philosophy does not address the most disturbing part of the session. He knew my PUPPY had separation anxiety and that we had been actively working on it. When he became distressed after being isolated IN A UTILITY CLOSET BY PHIL who thought this was a good way to teach him to stop barking when he was excited, he identified it as his separation anxiety and then TURNED OFF THE LIGHT AND LEFT HIM LOCKED IN A DARK UTILITY ROOM WHILE HE WAS PANICKING AND AFRAID. That is exactly what I witnessed and is completely inconsistent with how I expect ANY puppy or dog with known separation anxiety or not to be handled. OUTRAGEOUS AND CRUEL! Regarding water and vaccinations, my review accurately described my personal observations and concerns at the facility and what I was and was not asked to provide. THERE WAS NO FRESH WATER FOR THE DOGS AND NO VACCINATION RECORDS WERE CHECKED OR VERIFIED. This review is not about whether he uses choke collars, e-collars, pinch collars, yelling, or leash corrections. I did not accuse him of using those things. The issue is POOR JUDGEMENT, handling, and how Phil responded to a young, inexperienced dog who was frightened and whose known anxiety had been disclosed to him in advance. He refunded my payment, but a refund DOES NOT CHANGE what occurred during the session or my resulting loss of confidence in his ability to safely handle ANY PUPPY OR DOG. I stand by my review. I witnessed what I described, I made my concerns clear at the time, and based on that experience, I chose not to return.

The person giving the quote makes you go room by room and list all the furniture that you are planning on moving to your new place. They then explain what's included in the price and email you a copy for your records. A $50 deposit is required to lock in your date and is credited towards your total at the end. Adil and his team works super fast and waste no time at all. They are very knowledgeable and work great together as a team. They finished our move 2 hours earlier than what was quoted! Amazing!

I highly recommend using Move4U the next time you need movers. Their pricing is very affordable and hiring them was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
