A Year of Wasted Time, Empty Promises, and Total Incompetence…read more I am writing this review after a nightmarish experience with Global Animal Transport that lasted for about a year. If you are looking to transport a pet--especially an exotic animal like a tortoise--do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. This company is filled with issues, and working with them was a complete waste of my time. My primary contact was Michael Foley, who promised a lot at the beginning but never delivered anything useful. I paid $700 to get started and I was hoping for some service. He was incredibly unresponsive throughout the entire process. I frequently had to send multiple emails over long periods just to get a single reply. It felt like I had to beg for updates on a service I was paying for. Even the initial step of obtaining the U.S. permit, which should have been the easy part, was an absolute struggle. It took many, many months and was plagued with problems before they finally obtained it. That alone should have been a red flag, but the incompetence only got worse. Michael was often confused about the details of my case and seemed totally unaware of what was actually required to deliver a tortoise to Canada. The situation reached a breaking point regarding the cross-border paperwork. A few months after we finally dragged the U.S. permit over the finish line, Michael realized we also needed a specific permit for Canada. This is basic industry knowledge that a "professional" transport company should have known from day one. By the time I managed to secure the Canadian permit myself, the hard-won U.S. permit had expired. Instead of taking responsibility for this massive oversight, Michael had the audacity to ask me to pay again to restart the whole process. He was incredibly rude! It is baffling that a company would expect a customer to foot the bill for their own negligence and incompetence. Global Animal Transport is unprofessional, incompetent, and easily one of the worst companies I have ever dealt with. Save your money and your sanity--avoid them at all costs.

If I could give zero stars I would but do not let these people (Susan & Michael Foley) of GAT tell…read moreyou their prices are strictly based on the safety and security of animal transport. We know there's a big difference as I informed Michael we received quotes from their competitors who have the same certifications he does but charge half what they do. We utilized their service once before but it was not as smooth as they make it out to be but they'll never admit anything is their own fault. Go onto their google reviews and it's all right there after every negative review. However Michael took it a step further with his professionalism or should I say lack thereof and if you are thinking of using their services there are other transport services that won't charge you an arm and a leg and will not accuse you of being the one trying to pull the wool over someone's eyes. They say their quotes are itemized because they have "crates & kennel" and "Special services" listed with no break down of why it costs $125 for a crate meant to house a parakeet for an hour flight. Then dance around the question when you want an exact breakdown of why they're charging $768 when a Delta flight with a certified shipper is $125 and at most $200 but you have to be an IPATA shipper which they are. If we had went the extra mile and shopped around we would have never even considered them based on their "free estimates." Which I find so funny that that's one of their sales tactics. Anyone can give you an estimate for free. Nothing special about that if they want people to actually consider using their services otherwise I'm sure they'd charge for that too!

One…read moreof our cats has a GI problem and can only digest a raw turkey diet so we left explicit directions on how to thaw and prepare his meals. As far as we could tell the visit went fine except the first thing we noticed when we walked in our door was a TERRIBLE rotten food odor. Jeannie had done what we instructed her to do except she did not properly clean out all the raw turkey from the bags of per-prepared raw food, so they sat in our kitchen garbage the entire time we were gone and well, you can imagine what happened after a few days of Santa Clarita summer heat. We forgave it as a chance accident because we really liked her and she seemed to interact very well with my two cats. That was summer of 2014. Now I move to the present. We called Jeanne again to watch the cats while we went on an international snowboarding trip for 5 days. It had been a long time since the last visit and some things had changed with the care of the boys so we arranged a quick drop in to really drive home the point of cleaning out the bags of raw turkey after each feeding before tossing them in the garbage as well as go over their changes in care. We left explicit notes on how to care for the cats, showed her how to use the litter genie, as well as notes with pictures of the cats and what they like, snacks, feedings etc. Pretty much spelled out their care. Anyway, the trip went well and we returned from our international flight ready to see the cats....not at all prepared to deal with the mess she left us to deal with after our flight. First things first the garage where the litter-genie is kept reaked of nasty cat mess....we smelled it as soon as the car door opened. We checked the box and it was clean. Inspecting the litter-genie we immediately noticed the initial chamber was packed full of wet, soggy, clumpy poo and pee. Whoever filled it up didn't bother to open the door to let the waste drop into the sealed bag below. We specifically had her come visit to show her how to use the litter-genie and it was not done correctly. AND instead of cleaning up the mess it was LEFT there, for 5 days, for me to clean up....AFTER coming into LAX on an international flight at 11PM. I was not happy but cleaned it up and moved into the house. Inside I found a note that explained the boys did well on the trip, didn't eat super well but did eat and seemed to be in good spirits. On the bottom of the note was a drawing of my bed with 2 big X's on it that marked places where my RAW TURKEY eating cat vomited on my bed. The note stated she and her assistant cleaned the mess. When I walked into my bedroom I knew right away the mess wasn't cleaned very well. The room smelled of rotten meat, and my comforter had two crusted over, crunchy, nasty looking stains on the end of the bed. The mess was certainly wiped off but it was far from "clean." I could tell someone half way tried to clean it because my Shout bottle was sitting on my countertop and it is normally with the laundry next to the cat box in the garage. The spots still smelled like rotten meat when I put my nose to them AND I found a THIRD spot at the head of the bed. It had been half way cleaned like the other two. This was the straw that broke the camels back, so to speak. So now I have to spend the next 2 hours cleaning my nasty bed linens that were allowed to have rotting meat vomit left on them after being half way cleaned by the sitter. On top of that I had to clean the litter-genie she left in my garage, and then on top of all of that she left a baggie on my front porch with all the waste from the 5 days we were gone that didn't make it into the litter-genie. Is it too much to ask for the person I paid over $200 dollars to watch my cats to put their waste in the garbage can outside? Would it have been too much for her to have tossed the comforter in my washing machine....where she grabbed the Shout to half way clean the rotten meat vomit? Even better she could have dropped the comforter off at a dry cleaner here in town and I would have gladly paid for the service and even tipped her a little for going out of her way! Is it too much to ask to follow directions when cleaning the cat box.....after all she did charge me an additional $15 dollars for the visit to show her how to use the dang thing. After cleaning up all the mess and washing my comforter and getting the rotten meat cat vomit smell out of my bedroom my spouse and I ended up getting in bed after our long flight at about 3AM. Not exactly what you expect after paying as much as we did for her services. The next day I informed her that was our last visit with her and told her why. She was very defensive and today I received an even more defense letter from her. In the end, if you want a sitter who thinks past their CONTRACT - use someone else!!!!
