About Ferried
Ferried is a peer-to-peer marketplace for ground pet transport in the United States. We connect pet owners with independent, verified drivers who transport pets door-to-door by vehicle — no cargo holds, no airline kennels.
What Ferried is
Ferried is a bidding marketplace, not a traditional pet shipping company. We do not employ drivers or operate a fleet. Instead, we provide the platform, verification infrastructure, payment protection, and support that makes it safe for pet owners to hire independent drivers directly.
Pet owners post a transport request describing their pet, pickup address, destination, and travel dates. Independent drivers review the request and submit competitive bids. The owner reviews each driver's profile, verified reviews from past customers, and price — then books the driver they trust. Ferried holds the payment and releases it to the driver only after the owner confirms safe delivery.
