Meet Our Team
“Animals are my life! Growing up, I have always had pets, and my love for animals has only grown. As a child, I would try to find creative ways to raise money for shelter pets, which included painting rocks to sell door-to-door and lemonade stands. As an adult, I started my own pet care business having a true appreciation for the level of care and trust required when caring for family pets. As a military family, I recognized the need for expert pet travel options so I expanded my company to include relocation services. It is my passion to offer a professional service that facilitates the safe and effective transportation of pets. Continental Pet has grown over the years but we still operate as an intimate family business, offering a very personal touch with everything that we do! We are honored that so many pet owners book services with us repeatedly and refer us to other families. Our company culture is based around pet loving, professional and friendly customer service. I am so blessed to be able to help people with their pet relocation needs and hopefully we make their life easier during what can be a very stressful time. I take the responsibility very seriously and am so grateful for the pet owners that have trusted us again and again and also for the most amazing Continental Pet Relocation team! In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband, 2 children and 3 dogs, Wylie (Border Collie), Mac (Schnoodle) and Ozzie (Mini Aussie). We love to spend time outdoors hiking, traveling, and shooting photography.”

Continental helped get my 80 lb shepherd mix back to the US from Germany. Because this was during Covid, what was a direct flight from CLT to MUC on the way over became a three day journey because the flights out were so limited. I was so stressed thinking Abby would be in transit so long, but Heather was so communicative and sweet, I felt completely informed and comfortable the entire time. I highly recommend Continental for anyone sending pets long distances!

5 STARS......if I could give it more I would!!!! Kristi was absolutely wonderful! It was a very stressful move overseas and shipping 2 dogs was a big one! Kristi was ALWAYS positive, happy to answer any questions, concerns etc and somehow managed to make me smile!!! From the first email to the drop off at the airport.......awesome!!!!!

I cannot thank Heather enough for all her hard work with reuniting our family with our beloved 14 year old Labrador, Riley. We had flown Riley quite a number of times before with us as excess baggage but after we were separated due to COVID, we had to resort to shipping her back to us here in Frankfurt. Heather was wonderful and attentive and knew all the location specific details off hand. She really went above and beyond to make the process as easy and stress free as possible. She was available basically at all times and stayed in constant contact the day of travel via Whatsapp until Riley was safely back in my care. Thank you again to the whole team! 100% recommend!

We cannot thank Kristi and Heather enough for getting our two dogs and cat shipped from North Carolina to Austria. They made everything super easy and they are so knowledgeable in the process of shipping pets. They replied to every question I had almost immediately. Kept us informed every step of the way. They really remove the stress out of what would have been a stressful situation. I highly recommend them and they’ll be my first call should we need to move again. Thanks so much Kristi and Heather. Best regards, David and Laura.

I would highly recommend using Continental Pet Relocation. My husband and I will use them if we ever need to move our dog overseas again! Heather and Katie were very quick to respond and made the whole process very easy! We moved our Portuguese Water Dog from the US to Germany. The original departure date was canceled due to strikes for Lufthansa. Katie made sure we were updated and worked with us to get our pup out as soon as possible.
