Bigfella Auto Express Partners with Bad to the Bone Pet Care: A New Era of Vehicle & Pet Transport

Moving across the country is stressful enough. Coordinating auto transport for your vehicle and safe pet transport for your furry family members can feel overwhelming. That’s why Bigfella Auto Express is proud to announce our newest vendor partnership with Bad to the Bone Pet Care, an award-winning leader in nationwide pet transportation.

This collaboration means our customers now have access to both reliable vehicle shipping and premium pet transport, handled by professionals who care deeply about safety, comfort, and peace of mind.

Who Is Bad to the Bone Pet Care?

Founded in 2014 by Doug Keeling, Bad to the Bone Pet Care has become one of the most trusted names in pet sitting, dog walking, and long-distance pet transportation. Based in Florida, they’ve won multiple awards, including:

• Best Pet Sitting Service in Northeast Florida (2016 & 2017)

• Best Jacksonville Dog Walking Company (2019–present, by ThreeBestRated)

• Doug was named 2023 Pet Sitter of the Year by Pet Sitter’s International

Their mission is simple: to provide safe, compassionate, and personalized care for pets on the move.

Now, through our partnership, families shipping vehicles with Bigfella Auto Express can also arrange trusted pet transportation with Bad to the Bone.

Why This Partnership Matters

When people relocate, they’re often faced with two challenges:

1. How do I get my car to my new destination safely?

2. Who can I trust to take care of my pets during the move?

Until now, these services were handled separately, forcing customers to juggle multiple providers. By partnering with Bad to the Bone Pet Care, Bigfella Auto Express makes relocation easier. Customers can coordinate auto transport and pet transport together through one trusted channel.

This saves time, reduces stress, and ensures that both vehicles and pets arrive safely at their new homes.

How Pet Transport with Bad to the Bone Works

Unlike large, multi-animal transporters, Bad to the Bone Pet Care specializes in private pet transportation. That means your pet won’t be traveling in a crowded van with dozens of animals. Instead, they enjoy a customized travel experience that includes:

• Single-family trips — only your pets on board

• 8–10 hours of driving per day with frequent potty breaks

• Hotel stays where pets are never left unattended

• Pet First Aid–certified caregivers trained in animal behavior, anxiety, and medication needs

• Personalized care for senior pets, pets with special needs, and pets requiring insulin or medications

Their focus on comfort and care mirrors the same values Bigfella Auto Express brings to vehicle shipping: reliability, safety, and professionalism.

Why Customers Love This Service

Here’s what one happy customer shared about Bad to the Bone Pet Care:

“Doug was very prompt… to drive 3 dogs and my car to California from Georgia. The dogs were happy, healthy, not stressed upon arrival. I would hands down highly recommend Doug… his charge was very reasonable.”

This level of service is why we’re proud to recommend them as our official pet transport partner. When you trust us with your auto transport, you can now extend that same level of trust to your pet’s journey.
