Concierge Veterinary Transport Services

(Boca Raton, Coconut Creek, Deerfield, & Parkland) – Our Vet Manny services are designed to help you with your busy schedule! We all love our pets and want to ensure they attend their vet appointments, so they are healthy and happy.  However, at TPPT we understand this can sometimes be a challenge with our busy schedules.  Allow TPPT to take the hassle out of vet visits.

We will pick up your pet(s) from your home and escort them to the vet for you.  We will even attend your pet’s appointment with them!  We will take notes (and videos if your vet allows) of the visit/exam/diagnosis for you and will provide an email with the notes/video to you once we safely return your pet(s) home.

Ground Transport FAQs

Why choose TPPT for Concierge Ground Transport service?

ME! You are choosing TPPT because I will personally be your pet’s Ground Manny for the duration of their trip.  My wife and I have two dogs, Angie and Luca (INSERT PICTURES).  They are not just our pets, they are FAMILY!  I understand how important your pet(s) are to you and want to you.  MY goal is to provide your pet with the fastest, safest, and least stressful transport to and from each airport.  While your pet is in MY care, I will treat your pet with the same love and attention as if they were my own!  MY mission is “Safely delivering smiles one pet at a time!”

Ground Manny is a concierge service offering door-to-door, same-day pet transportation within a 250-mile radius of Boca Raton.  Why is TPPT different than other transport services?  We only provide SOLO rides or rides for multiple pets within the same household.  Your pet(s) will receive my undivided care and attention throughout the duration of our trip.  I regularly stop every two hours for potty and water breaks (* Special accommodations will be made for puppies under 4 months old who have not been completely vaccinated and may be susceptible to Parvo or other diseases transmitted through ground contact).  You may find other ground transportation alternatives such as shared rides.  Although these alternatives may be more cost-effective, each does have their cons such as a higher stress environment for your pet and extremely long transport times. I offer GPS tracking through Life360 and also provide text messaging and photo updates during transport (when not driving) so you know your pet is comfortable and safe!  We also fully sanitize our vehicle, crates, harnesses, blankets, and food/water bowls before and after each transport.

What sizes and breeds of pets are eligible for Ground Manny Transport?

We welcome dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and reptiles (excluding snakes) up to 150lbs.  We will transport aggressive pets for an additional charge.  Please complete the Pet Transport Questionnaire and we will reach out to you to answer any questions and schedule your pet’s transport.

Ground Manny fees start at $1.50 per mile traveled for the one-way trip with your pet.  Mileage is calculated from pick-up and drop-off locations based on the one-way trip.  Additional fees may apply for any transport where neither the pick-up or drop-off locations are within Broward and Palm Beach counties.

My pet can be nervous or anxious and I know they do not travel well. Do you recommend any medications to ease their stress during travel?

NO, I AM NOT A VETERINARIAN! However, a vet can help you decide if medication is the right choice for your pet to reduce stress and anxiety during their travel.  This is a great point of conversation to discuss with your vet prior to the travel date.

REVIEWS FROM OUR CLIENTS

Kirk W.

Matt is a lifesaver. Since moving to Florida a little over two years ago, my spouse and I have not been on a proper vacation because we could not find anyone reputable to care for our dogs. We often found kennels to be too confining and expensive plus we really wanted our dogs to remain at home, where they were most comfortable. Matt was my trainer for a dog first aid training course – so he really IS a “lifesaver,” In addition to that. he is kind, very calm and completely reliable. It was nice to not have to worry about anything, knowing that he was there with our fur babies. Matt stayed in touch, sending pictures and videos to us on a daily basis. Matt thank you so much. Our freedom has been restored.

Bess C.

Matthew was a great instructor. He’s very passionate about what he teaches. This course (the PetTech® PetSaver™ advanced Pet CPR, First Aid & Wellness course) is a must for every pet parent.

Jay R.

I have a 3 year old female boxer with horrible separation anxiety. Worse than I’ve ever seen. I was skeptical having a dogsitter in my home for a few hours while I had an engagement. Matt came over for a meet and greet and within minutes, made me feel totally relaxed. He is licensed, certified amd insured. He has a great background, answered all of my questions and most importantly, he gave me peace of mind. I received pics every 30-60 minutes assuring me that my dog was ok and she was safe. He’s a blessing and I highly recommend his services. He’s top notch!

Scott & Laurie L.

❤️Matty is the ultimate pet sitter — he turned every day into a pawsitive time for our pups so we could vacation with peace of mind!

❤️Unleash the Magic of Matty’s Pet Sitting for your pets and you’ll see for yourself what we adore about Matty—He’s truly an animal whisperer!

❤️In a world where compassion meets precision, there exists Matty. With the gentle touch of an angel and the expertise of a seasoned professional, Matty gave insulin injections and ear drops to our pup with health challenges. For us, he is the gold standard of caregiving, and with Matty by our pups’ side, we are assured of nothing less than the finest care imaginable. Thanks, Matty!

 

Chris A.

My family and I used Totally PAWsome to relocate our family cat Cheeto from Coconut Creek to New Jersey. Matty took care of all the details and made Cheeto’s relocation a breeze! Totally PAWsome boarded Cheeto until the travel date and even took care of the Certificate of Veterinary Inspection for us. On the day of delivery we met Matty and Cheeto at the airport at baggage claim to pick up our fur baby. Matty provided daily updates/photos of Cheeto while in their care. Totally PAWsome was amazing to work with and allowed us to focus on our move. I would highly recommend their services! They’re Totally PAWsome!

Rick D.

Our dogs are a special part of our family. We were nervous when first looking for a dog walker. Fortunately we found the best person to assist us. Matthew does a wonderful job taking care of our dogs. He has done pet sitting for us in the past and also does weekly dog walking. He instantly bonded with our dogs from day one and they can’t wait for their walks with him. He’s very knowledgeable and genuinely cares. If you’re looking for a professional, reliable and caring dog walker or dog sitter I highly recommend Matthew’s services. You will not be disappointed.

Liz R.

Matthew has been a highly competent dog walker at the animal shelter where I am the event coordinator for over a year, and he is among the most responsible, warm-hearted, caring and respectful young men I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He has a genuine feeling for our dogs that can’t be faked, an ability to calm the most anxious of rescue animals and get through to the most fearful so that they are soon walking happily on the leash in his confident hand. I would gladly trust Matthew with my own beloved dog Puff if he only covered the area where I live! He spends a great deal of his own free time here because he honestly loves these dogs as if they were his own, and I believe he radiates that passion towards all the animals he transports and walks in his business…he simply can’t help it!

Casie R.

We are a full time working family with 2 very active dogs. Matthew has been a lifesaver for us! He truly cares for our dogs and makes sure that they get a great long walk to burn off their energy during the day. He is prompt and reliable. I highly recommend him and so do Willa and Gidget!

Lili H.

I trust Matt with my fur babies and he is always their favorite bud. His care for animals is evident and he is well trained to care for the pickiest of our fur babies. If you are looking for someone to love your babies just as much as you do look no further!

Shelby S.

I highly recommend Matt! I have a very rambunctious teenage boxer, Deano. Matt instantly connected with him, and made me feel so at ease. Deano enjoyed getting out of the house, and getting some exercise! We will definitely be regulars!
