"I can definitely recommend Pet Worldwide Relocations if you are looking to travel with your pets internationally. Sandi helped me to relocate my 3 cats from SA to the Netherlands. All the steps were laid out and all my queries were promptly answered. Going ahead with her agency definitely relieved a lot of stress and I felt confident leaving the logistics and coordination in her hands. My babies were delivered safely at our house just a few hours after us, and now they are ready to start their journey abroad!"

"Thank you so much, you made this stress free. They're being very cautious of a new environment but things are good. Bean is little grumpy and struggled a bit but she's seeming more at ease now. I think I will give Bean a few more days and she will be right back to her old self in no time.
Charlie is just so happy to be with mom that he hasn't left my side, shame. Thank you so much for all your help to make this possible!"

"We started the process for our 2 Shih Tzus Molly & Elly to travel to Mauritius in May 2023. Sandi was quick to provide all the information and set out a timeline for the steps required. When our one dog failed the Rabies Titre Test, she was on top of having the necessary done. This also meant travel would be delayed until end November at the soonest.
The timeline given for when to expect results, when bookings could be done and the actual travel were spot on. We were extremely anxious about the dogs travelling and Sandi helped with making sure they were as comfortable as possible even arranging a stop in Joburg between flights. We received updates and pictures throughout their travel
Molly and Elly arrived safe and sound on the 14th of December, while tired and thirsty, they were in good spirits. We were able to visit them everyday while they were in quarantine and they were released after 5 days
They have easily settled and it now feels a little more like home. Thank you Sandi for all you efforts in reuniting us with our girls."
