Transportation

Don’t let location stop you from getting your dream puppy. There are Joley Aire puppies on every corner of the United States! We are centrally located in Illinois, but if that’s too far for you, we are happy to arrange safe and stress-free transportation options to get your puppy to your home.

By Air

  • Flying with a puppy is actually really easy and may be the best budget option for picking up your puppy if you live too far to drive. We would be happy to meet you at Peoria or Bloomington airport (Free!) or Chicago airport ($125). Typically a puppy’s ticket to ride in the cabin with you will cost $75-$125 in addition to your own ticket.

    We’ll give you all the information you need from the best airlines for pets, booking a flight, and equipment you need so all you have to do is follow the steps and ride the plane.

  • We are happy to work with a flight nanny service provider. We will take care of finding a qualified flight nanny and communication with them. The price of hiring an outside flight nanny service will be included in your final bill for your puppy. Prices typically range from $575-$1300 to hire an outside service.

    To help keep prices low, many flight nannies will fly stand-by, meaning they do not buy a ticket, but fill in any empty seats before the flight leaves. Sometimes this works out perfectly, but occasionally, there won’t be seats available and the nanny will have to wait for the next flight.

    Flexibility and patience are very important. Our advice is to clear at least one (if not two) days from your schedule to accommodate for unexpected delays.

  • This is a safe and budget-friendly option for transporting puppies. Puppies may only fly in cargo when outside temperatures are not too hot or cold and are handled with excellent care by airport staff.

    We drop the puppy off at the airport in a comfortable, rigid crate along with their paperwork and extra food. Airport staff handle food and water if the travel day gets long. You pick up your puppy from your nearby airport.

    Cost: $400-$600

By Ground

  • Whether you are driving 20 minutes or 12 hours, we will give you any tips and help you’ll need for a safe and enjoyable drive from our place to yours with your new puppy.

    Of course, it’s always free to pick up the puppy at our facility.

  • Depending on availability we may be able to deliver the puppy or meet you part way. We typically charge a travel fee of $0.90 per mile one way. This helps cover the cost of gas, wear and tear on the vehicle, meals, and hotels if needed.

    If we have a group of puppies going in the same direction, we may be able to provide a discount to all the owners. We’ll let you know if there is a possibility of a group trip.

    If you would like a quote on ground transportation, we would be happy to provide one!

    The benefit of having the puppy delivered by ground transport is that riding in a car is more familiar to them and they are in the company of a human (and sometimes other puppies) at all times. They can make more frequent stops and we are able to monitor the puppy better.

  • We are happy to work with an outside ground transportation service provider. We will take care of finding a qualified driver and communication with them. The price of hiring an outside flight nanny service will be included in your final bill for your puppy. Prices typically range from $575-$1300 to hire an outside service.

    Flexibility and patience are very important. Our advice is to clear at least one (if not two) days from your schedule to accommodate for unexpected delays.

  • Whether you live in Chicago, or will be flying to O’hare to pick up your puppy, we would be happy to bring the puppy to Chicago for a flat rate of $125.
