Professional USDA Licensed Pet Transportation with personalized care, constant updates and stress-free travel from pickup to delivery.
We started Miles For Smiles because we know what it feels like to hand a leash to a stranger. That moment deserves patience, honesty and real care — not a rushed pickup and silence until arrival.
Every pet we carry is someone's family member, and we treat them exactly that way: spoken to softly, checked on constantly, and delivered with the same love we would give our own.

Personalized transport plans for dogs, cats, puppies, seniors and pets with special needs.
We collect your pet at your front door and hand them over at their new one. No terminals, no cages in cargo holds, no strangers in between.
Coast to coast and everything between. Carefully planned routes with rest stops, hydration and comfort breaks built into every mile.
From tiny toy breeds to large companions, every dog travels in a properly sized crate with clean bedding and regular walks.
Quiet handling, calm environments and patient care for cats who need extra time to feel safe on the road.
Frequent feeding, warmth, hydration and close monitoring — puppies get the extra attention their little bodies need.
Gentle loading, softer bedding, shorter driving stretches and extra check-ins for pets in their golden years.

Long before a single mile is driven, the van is prepared. Crates are sanitized and checked, bedding is fresh, absorbent pads are new, water is filled, and every strap and latch is inspected. Nothing is packed in a hurry and nothing is reused without cleaning.
By the time we knock on your door, everything is already organized, quiet and ready for your pet to settle in.
Every trip starts with a clean, fresh setup because your pet deserves nothing less.
Pre-departure checklist
Many transporters fill every inch of the vehicle. More pets means more stops crammed into less time, shorter breaks and less attention for the animals who need it most. We made a different choice: we intentionally transport fewer pets per trip.
Your pet is family — never cargo.
Every transport has a story. These are a few of the ones we carry with us.
Pumpkin left Texas with a favorite blanket and a family waiting three states past the mountains. Over 1,800 miles, she got walks at every stop, fresh water on the hour, and someone sitting beside her crate when the highway got loud. Her family met us at the door in Washington — that reunion is exactly why we drive.
One of Diane's cats settled in within minutes. The other pressed himself into the back corner and refused to look at anyone. We didn't rush him. Quiet voice, low light, a little more time at each stop — by the second day he was leaning into a hand. Patience made the difference, and both arrived calm.
Trust is earned one mile, one message and one safe arrival at a time.
“The updates alone were worth everything. Photos at every stop, a message when they hit the road again — I never had to wonder where my dog was.”
“My senior girl is anxious with strangers and they took the time to let her come to them. She stepped out of the van wagging her tail.”
“Professional from the first message to the final hand-off. Clean van, clean crate, fresh water, and genuine kindness.”
“They gave my puppy his medication exactly on schedule and sent me a note each time. That kind of care is rare.”
“Patient, communicative and clearly in love with animals. My cats travelled better with them than they do to the vet down the street.”
“I was nervous about a 1,500 mile trip. They walked me through every detail and delivered my boy happy and relaxed.”
