Preferred Partner · Pet Relocation
Bring your pet to the UK, without getting lost in the paperwork
International pet relocation, made simple.
We're proud to partner with Starwood Pet Travel, an IATA-certified international pet relocation company that moves cats and dogs safely around the world. Pets Lets is listed in their partner directory, and they are who we turn to when a client is bringing an animal into the UK from abroad.
Moving a pet across a border is not one task. It is microchipping, vaccination timelines, blood tests, import permits, health certificates and quarantine rules, and every one of them changes depending on the destination, the airline and the species. Get a single step out of order and the move is delayed, or does not happen at all.
Starwood's relocation specialists take that on. They build a plan around your specific cat or dog and your specific route, then coordinate with airlines, government agencies and ground handlers to see it through. They are part of IVC Evidensia, one of the world's leading veterinary healthcare groups, so there is real veterinary expertise behind the logistics.
What Starwood handles
- Country and state import requirements
- Health certifications and vet paperwork
- Vaccination timelines and blood titer tests
- Import permits and quarantine rules
- Flight bookings and airline liaison
- Customs clearance and door-to-door delivery
They also cover mainland US to Hawaii moves and back, where the rabies-free entry rules catch a lot of people out.
How it works
Tell them about your pet
Request a free quote with your route, your dates and your animal. Starwood map out exactly what your move will require.
They build the plan
Vet appointments, paperwork, permits and flights, sequenced so nothing expires and nothing is missed. Some requirements run to months rather than weeks, so the earlier you start, the better.
Door to door
Collected, flown, cleared through customs and delivered to your new address. If that address is a pet-friendly home in the UK, that is where we come in.
A natural fit with Pets Lets
Around 80% of our clients relocate to the UK from the US, and Starwood's team handles a large share of exactly those moves. They get your cat or dog here safely and legally. We make sure there is a genuinely pet-friendly home waiting at the other end, with a landlord who has already said yes.
Relocation services are provided and sold by Starwood Pet Travel. Pets Lets introduces clients to Starwood as a preferred partner and has no involvement in the relocation itself.
