Moving a pet isn’t as simple as putting them in a car or on a plane. Each animal needs special preparation, care, and attention to ensure they travel stress-free and arrive safely. From legal paperwork and crate training to airport transfers and vet appointments, pet relocation involves:
- Strict import/export regulations
- Vaccination and health certificate requirements
- IATA-approved travel crates
- Flight or road travel arrangements
- Custom pet itineraries and monitoring
At Key Moves, we manage all these steps for you—making the process smooth, legal, and most importantly, safe for your pet.

Step 1: Consultation and Pet Profile
We start with a detailed consultation to understand your pet’s needs—species, breed, size, temperament, health concerns, and destination. This allows us to build a customized relocation plan and timeline.
Step 2: Health, Vets, and Vaccinations
We help you book veterinary checkups and obtain the required health certificates. This includes up-to-date vaccinations, deworming, and fit-to-fly declarations. If your pet needs specific treatments for import approval, we’ll guide you through that too.

Your pet’s safety starts with the right crate. We provide or recommend IATA-approved crates based on your pet’s size and species. We offer crate training tips or supervised crate introductions to help your pet get comfortable before travel day.
Step 4: Travel Day Coordination
We coordinate the full journey—whether it’s flight check-in, customs clearance, airport handoff, or cross-country ground transport. You receive real-time updates and confirmations throughout the trip.
Step 5: Delivery and Pet Handover
Upon arrival, your pet is delivered straight to your new residence, reunited with your family as quickly and gently as possible. We assist with local vet introductions if needed and ensure a smooth transition.

[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]When moving home, it’s not just about furniture, boxes, and logistics—it’s about family. And at Key Moves, we believe your pets are family. Our professional pet travel services are designed to ensure your furry, feathered, or scaled companions travel in comfort, safety, and with the same level of care you’d give yourself.
Whether you’re relocating across South Africa or internationally, our team offers door-to-door pet transport that’s fully managed, regulation-compliant, and customized to your pet’s unique needs. With our base in Midrand, we proudly serve families throughout Johannesburg, Pretoria, and beyond—giving you peace of mind every step of the way.
Why Pet Travel Requires a Specialist
Moving a pet isn’t as simple as putting them in a car or on a plane. Each animal needs special preparation, care, and attention to ensure they travel stress-free and arrive safely. From legal paperwork and crate training to airport transfers and vet appointments, pet relocation involves:
- Strict import/export regulations
- Vaccination and health certificate requirements
- IATA-approved travel crates
- Flight or road travel arrangements
- Custom pet itineraries and monitoring
At Key Moves, we manage all these steps for you—making the process smooth, legal, and most importantly, safe for your pet.
Animal-Loving Team
Our team consists of trained handlers, animal lovers, and relocation experts who prioritize safety and comfort over speed. We don’t treat pets like cargo—we treat them like family.
IATA-Compliant Crates and Conditions
All crates meet International Air Transport Association (IATA) regulations. They are spacious, breathable, secure, and labeled with feeding instructions, emergency contacts, and your pet’s ID.
24/7 Travel Support
We provide real-time communication and travel status updates. In the rare event of a delay or rerouting, our team steps in to make sure your pet is comfortable, hydrated, and safe.
Experience Across All Pet Types
Dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, and exotic species—we have experience relocating them all. Whether it’s a Great Dane, a Persian cat, or a bearded dragon, we create a travel plan that fits your pet perfectly.
Homeowners and Renters
Moving? Renovating? Downsizing? Whether you’re between homes or freeing up space in your garage, our Midrand self storage facility is ideal for:
- Furniture and appliances
- Seasonal decor
- Baby and children’s items

You pack it, we protect it.
Students and Expats

Our Pet Travel Process
Step 1: Consultation and Pet Profile
We start with a detailed consultation to understand your pet’s needs—species, breed, size, temperament, health concerns, and destination. This allows us to build a customized relocation plan and timeline.
Step 2: Health, Vets, and Vaccinations
We help you book veterinary checkups and obtain the required health certificates. This includes up-to-date vaccinations, deworming, and fit-to-fly declarations. If your pet needs specific treatments for import approval, we’ll guide you through that too.
Step 3: Crate Training and Comfort Preparation
Your pet’s safety starts with the right crate. We provide or recommend IATA-approved crates based on your pet’s size and species. We offer crate training tips or supervised crate introductions to help your pet get comfortable before travel day.
Step 4: Travel Day Coordination
We coordinate the full journey—whether it’s flight check-in, customs clearance, airport handoff, or cross-country ground transport. You receive real-time updates and confirmations throughout the trip.
Step 5: Delivery and Pet Handover
Upon arrival, your pet is delivered straight to your new residence, reunited with your family as quickly and gently as possible. We assist with local vet introductions if needed and ensure a smooth transition.
