MeshMesha and Jelka
Willerzell, Switzerland to Nairobi, Kenya

Dear Marcel, Sébastien, Enzo, Peter and everyone involved!

A big thank you to all of you to make the travel for MeshMesha and Jelka so smooth! They arrived very well.

In the meanwhile Jelka is already a proud holder of an annual membership to Karura forest and has been there every day. MeshMesha is not totally amused for being hold inside. She sleeps a lot or sits at the window waiting for getting out. We hope to find soon a place to stay where we all can settle in.

Thank you also for the support of us and the flexibility in the organisation of the journey! I know I can fully trust this team:-)

Have a good start into the week,
Bettina, Marcel and Marc-Andri

Dear Tamara,

We are overjoyed to have Charlie back! A few hours ago he landed at Sydney Airport.
We wish to thank you and the whole Moving Animals team again for doing such a great job. We were truly impressed by your kindness, your patience when answering our questions, your engagement to solve the glitches that popped up along the way, and the way you really love the animals placed in your care.

Wishing you the very best for the future.

Yours,

Dear Karin, Marcel & Catherine

Aplogies for the delay in contacting you, however I just wanted to say a massive thank you for transporting Lily so safely and well to Switzerland. She settled in really quickly (see pic) and I’m thrilled to have her back. I was really impressed with the organization of the whole process from start to finish.

Thanks again and best wishes,

Gibson (Swiss Shepherd), Angel (Cockatiel) & Bean (Hamster)
from Haute Nendaz, Switzerland
to Johannesburg, South Africa

To the Moving Animals Team,

You are a gift- thank you for making our recent pets’ relocation from Switzerland to South Africa a seamless experience, a wonderful and exciting adventure for all animals and humans involved.

From the very first contact I had with you, I felt at ease and filled with trust in you, your experience in the field of pet relocation, and your competence and expertise.

I would recommend ‘Moving Animals’ in Zürich to any person needing a pet relocation (door-to-door) service; I would not hesitate, in fact it would be my utter pleasure, to call upon ‘Moving Animals’ for any of my own future pet relocation needs…..

Deep gratitude and respect,
Natalie

Perla
from Doha, Qatar
to Adliswil, Switzerland

Hi Karin,

I really want to thank you and Maria to have arranged everything in a perfect way, really flawless!
In our move to Switzerland, we had issues, small or big, in any aspect, apart from Perla’s move. I think this is the best feedback I can give you.

You arranged everything perfectly and on top of that, Perla did not suffer at all this period (hotel + flight) and she seems very happy for this new adventure.

In case we will have to do another move in the future, we will for sure contact you again.

Thanks a lot to both of you.
Daniele and Anna

Maddie (Miniature Schnauzer)
from Manila, Philippines
to Geneva, Switzerland

Dear Marcel,

We reunited with Maddie last evening with great joy. I would like to thank you and your team for the professionalism and empathy with which you managed (despite the very challenging current context) the transfer of Maddie from Manila to Geneva. She seems to have endured the long journey without any problems. Many thanks again. I will not hesitate to recommend you to my colleagues and/or relatives who will need your services in the future.

Take care and be safe.
Eric

Gizmo (Bloodhound-Labrador X)
from Morristown, NJ, USA
to Arlesheim, Switzerland

Gizmo has finally stopped exploring and settled down for a nap. We wanted to thank you all again for taking such wonderful care of her on this adventure. She (and we!) are happy to be reunited at our new home in Switzerland!

We wish you guys (and Sebastien whose email I do not have) all the best.

With much gratitude-
Ellen

Animal Transport via Geneva Airport – Lovingly Cared for, Around the Clock

Whether your pet is arriving in Geneva or departing to destinations around the world – at the GVA Animal Lounge, it’s in the best hands.

Since April 2024, Moving Animals has been operating the animal station at Geneva Airport on behalf of Swissport and DNATA, accompanying every four-legged traveller with expertise, experience, and a genuine passion for animal welfare.

In collaboration with the Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office (FSVO), we carry out the required veterinary checks for all incoming animals. If a pet cannot be picked up immediately due to flight delays or logistical issues, we of course provide loving interim care. A clean, calm resting place, a freshly prepared dinner, and plenty of water help ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable – even far from home.

We also look after animals being exported from Geneva, ensuring their well-being before departure. After check-in, your pet comes to us. In the peaceful environment of the Animal Lounge – away from the bustle of the airport – it can rest and relax until it’s time to board. If the travel crate has become soiled during the journey, we will clean it thoroughly before departure to ensure your pet travels clean and comfortable.

Our team is made up of trained animal caretakers – and above all, animal lovers. All of us share our lives with dogs and/or cats, so we know exactly what it means to take responsibility for a beloved companion. That’s why we care for every animal as if it were our own – with respect, compassion, and an attentive eye for their needs.

If your pet needs to stay with us overnight and you’d like a personal update on how it’s doing – just send us an email at: 📧 gva@movinganimals.com
