Why Transit Boarding?
Moving internationally with pets, especially between the US and New Zealand, is a complex process that requires careful planning. At Kapiti PetVilla, we specialize in helping families navigate the logistics of pet transport, ensuring their furry companions travel safely and comfortably. From organizing necessary veterinary documentation to coordinating quarantine arrangements and transport logistics, we take care of the details. However, one often overlooked aspect of pet relocation is transit boarding, which plays a critical role in reducing stress for both pets and their owners.

The Importance of Transit Boarding
Moving houses is already a stressful event for pets. Packing up the home, the noise, and unfamiliar activity can cause pets—especially cats—to become anxious, with some even running away in distress. Dogs may show signs of stress, such as pacing or whining, as they sense something big is happening. Providing a safe, calm environment like our boarding facility helps alleviate these fears, allowing pets to relax away from the chaos at home.
Similarly, on the other side of the journey, many families need time to find a new home or settle into temporary accommodations. In these situations, pets can’t immediately move into their new living space. During this transition, our boarding services offer a comfortable, stress-free environment where your pets can stay while you settle in.
Why Cats Need Extra Attention
Cats, in particular, are sensitive to change. Their stress levels can spike when they see suitcases being packed or when their routines are disrupted. To avoid the risk of a cat running away or becoming overly anxious, it’s important to consider boarding them before the big move. This ensures they remain safe and calm while you focus on the final stages of packing and logistics.
