Pet Relocation Assistance
Pet Relocation Assistance in Bay Area, CA – Moving Your Furry Family Members with Care
Moving is stressful enough without worrying about how your cat, dog, or other furry family member will handle the chaos. We get it. That’s why All Stars Movers offers pet relocation assistance that goes beyond just opening the door for you. We’ve spent over 20 years helping families in the Bay Area move—and we’ve learned a thing or two about keeping pets calm and safe while we haul your furniture.
Whether you’re moving from a cramped San Francisco apartment to a house in Daly City, or heading across the Bay to Oakland, we know the local roads, the tricky parking, and the best times to schedule loading so the movers aren’t panting in the heat while your dog is underfoot. We’ve worked in neighborhoods like the Mission, Bernal Heights, and even the steep hills of Pacific Heights, where the truck has to park blocks away and we’ve got to walk your belongings uphill. Trust us, we’ve seen it all.
Pre-Move Pet Safety Check
Before we lift a single box, we'll do a quick walkthrough of your place to identify any pet-related hazards. We're talking about things like loose wires from your aquarium pump or the water bowl that might get tipped over. We'll also point out where the movers will be working so you can keep your pets in a quiet room away from the traffic. It's a small step that makes a huge difference in your pet's stress levels.
Pet-Friendly Moving Supplies
We bring along extra towels, blankets, and even a portable water bowl for your pet. Look, we know that during a move, the last thing you're thinking about is whether Fido has had enough water. So we'll make sure he does. We also use pet-safe tape (nothing that'll stick to their fur) to secure any loose items around your pet's area.
Handling Pet Cages and Carriers
If your pet travels in a carrier, we'll carefully strap it into the truck to keep it secure during transit. For larger pets like rabbits in hutches or birds in large cages, we'll disassemble and reassemble them at your new home—just let us know ahead of time. We've moved everything from a 40-pound tortoise to a pair of parrots, and we treat them all like family.
Efficient Loading and Secure Transportation
Strategic loading protects your belongings and maximizes truck space, reducing trips and costs. Our professional movers load items systematically, placing heavier furniture and appliances first, building stable layers, and securing everything with straps and padding to prevent shifting during transport.
Unpacking and Setup Services
Our unpacking services include placing furniture according to your floor plan, unpacking boxes and organizing items in appropriate rooms, assembling furniture and setting up beds, removing boxes and packing materials, and arranging items on shelves and in cabinets as requested.

Safe & Calm Moves for Your Furry Friends
Pets pick up on our anxiety. If you’re nervous about the move, they’re nervous too. That’s why we’ve developed a routine that keeps everything calm and organized. We’ll assign a point person from our crew to be the pet liaison—they’re the one who’ll check in with you about your pet’s comfort level throughout the day. We’ve moved pets in every corner of the Bay Area, from the foggy Sunset District to the sunny hills of Los Gatos, and we know that each pet is different. Some hide under the bed; others want to be in the middle of the action. We work with whatever your pet needs.
For those of you in the South Bay, you know that summer temperatures can hit 100 degrees. We time our loading for the cooler mornings and make sure the truck is always well-ventilated. And if you’re in a hillside home in the East Foothills, we’ll bring extra hands to navigate those steep driveways without startling your pets. This isn’t just a job to us—we’re pet owners ourselves, and we treat your animals like our own.
Apartment & Condo Moves with Pets
Moving your pet from an apartment or condo has its own challenges. You’ve got elevator reservations, narrow hallways, and often a building full of other pets. We know how to handle it—we’ve done it in high-rises in downtown San Francisco, cute walk-ups in North Beach, and modern complexes in Mountain View. We’ll make sure your cat doesn’t dart out the door when we prop it open to bring the dolly in. We’ll coordinate with building management to ensure our path is clear and your pet stays safely in a crate or room while we haul the big stuff. It’s all about communication—with us, with you, and, in a way, with your pet. We let them sniff us first, so they know we’re friendly. That trust makes the whole move smoother.
Pet Relocation Assistance That Feels Like Home
Two Decades of Moving Pets Safely Across the Bay Area
Twenty years in the Santa Clara County moving industry taught us one thing: pets are family. We've helped thousands of cats, dogs, birds, and even the occasional bearded dragon settle into new homes from San Jose to San Francisco. That's not just experience—it's a deep understanding of what it takes to keep your furry (or feathery) friends calm and secure during a move.
Professional Teams That Respect Your Pets
We know you're trusting us with more than just boxes and furniture—you're trusting us with the four-legged family members who live in those spaces. Every All Stars Movers team member undergoes thorough background checks and gets hands-on training in pet-aware moving techniques. That means no sudden loud noises near crates, no opening doors without checking for escape artists, and always asking where the pets are before we start. We've even learned to work around the peculiar spots where scared cats hide—like behind the water heater in that cramped garage off Stevens Creek Boulevard.
Honest Pricing for a Stress-Free Pet Move
Moving rates can feel like a maze—some companies quote one thing, then tack on fees for stairs, long carries, or 'special handling' once they've got your stuff on the truck. We don't play that game. Our written estimate spells out every cost, and we won't surprise you on moving day. Whether we're carrying a 100-pound dog crate down a steep Almaden Valley driveway or carefully maneuvering an aquarium through a narrow Noe Valley stairwell, the price you see is the price you pay.
Licensed, Insured, and Pet-Smart Movers
All Stars Movers operates under California Public Utilities Commission MTR #0192540, which means we meet the state’s toughest standards for moving companies. But here’s what that license really means for your pet: we’re regulated, we’re insured, and we’re accountable. If something goes wrong—and trust us, that’s rare—you’ve got recourse. Unlicensed movers? You’re on your own if they scratch your hardwood floors or lose your cat’s favorite blanket.
We’ve seen it all. During a move in Willow Glen last summer, we had to work around a very anxious Golden Retriever who would NOT stop barking at the two-person dolly. Our crew just slowed down, let the dog sniff our gloves, and gave him a treat we carry for exactly that reason. That’s the kind of patience and experience that comes with two decades of moving Bay Area families—pets included.
And because we’re local, we know the quirks. Like how those pre-1980 homes in Rose Garden have copper pipes that can bang when you shift a heavy sofa—and how that noise can spook a nervous cat into hiding for hours. We’re prepared for that. We know to check behind the washer before we close the door. We’re not just movers; we’re pet-relocation problem solvers.
