We help fly your pets so they can join you in your next adventure.

DESTINATIONS

Border Jumpers is here to make the daunting task of relocating with your animal family members as stress-free as possible. We advise on vet requirements and documentation from and to Zimbabwe from any destination country, and help you prepare your loved ones for a comfortable trip, from tips on crate training to what types of dogs and other pets are allowed on which airlines.

We have helped fly dogs, cats, parrots and other family members between Zimbabwe and 79 cities in 64 countries around the world.

THE JOURNEY

Travel Checklists, Dog Hotels & Cat Nooks

When the worst happened (the airline sent a plane that was too small to fit our large dogs, with no notice) Rose picked up her phone at 4.30 in the morning to collect them, house them, calm me and organise a speedy alternative route.

REVIEWS

Jo was equally wonderful during this time as she organised the alternative arrangements with no fuss, always keeping me in the loop. They were utterly wonderful and it was a pleasure to know that they would look after my dogs as well as I would. If not better!”

– Palm Toni

They made the whole process affordable, reliable and easy for us. Our dog and cat were incredibly relaxed when we got them back and also had a wonderful stay at the boarding kennel with regular video updates. Highly recommend and the animals welfare is clearly their priority. Thanks again. 🙂

(Their) team can achieve the near impossible. Their kennels just outside Harare are a home away from home for your pets. They receive 5 star treatment including walks every day. Very hard to find a more loving and caring place for your pets.

-Immelda Stam-Ferreira

It was our first time transferring a pet without people to acompany her from one continent to another and it was really a lot of work to prepare. Rose and Jo did lots of research on it, helped with paperwork for Atila and told us not to panic. The day when our puppy had to get on board, they even offered a nice walk in Botanic garden with my wife.
