Moving With Pets in Brisbane? Here’s How to Make It Stress-Free

🐾 Moving With a Dog, Cat, or Bird? Here’s How to Keep Your Pets Safe and Settled

Relocating is stressful — and not just for you. Your pets feel the chaos too. From strangers in the house to long drives and new smells, it can be overwhelming for animals.

That’s why it’s important to plan your move around your pet’s needs — and to choose a removalist who understands how to work around animals.

At Get It Cheaper, we connect you with Brisbane removalists who can work efficiently and carefully in pet-filled households — so your move goes smoothly for every member of the family.

🧠 Pre-Move Checklist for Brisbane Pet Owners

  • 🐶 Update your pet’s microchip address ahead of the move

  • 🐾 Pack a dedicated pet bag with food, leads, bowls, and comfort items

  • 🚗 Keep pets off-site during the move if possible (with a friend, daycare, or vet)

  • 🏷️ Label cages, crates, or carriers clearly

  • 🧘 Try to maintain your pet’s routine as closely as possible

🔒 Day-of-Move Safety Tips

  • ✅ Place pets in a quiet, closed room while movers are loading

  • ✅ Use signage (e.g. “Cat Inside – Do Not Open Door”)

  • ✅ Ask movers to knock before entering pet zones

  • ✅ Keep pets secured during transport — no loose animals in cars or trucks

  • ✅ Reintroduce them slowly to the new space — one room at a time

🧼 Cleaning Up After Pets? You’ll Want a Bond Cleaner

Most landlords expect pet areas to be professionally cleaned — especially carpets and floors. A proper bond clean helps protect your refund and saves hours of scrubbing.

Many of our cleaners offer pet-specific deodorising and sanitisation, perfect for end-of-lease moves.

💬 Common Questions Pet Owners Ask Before Booking a Mover

  • “Can your team work around dogs or cats in the house?”

  • “Are you okay with me keeping the pets in a separate room while you load?”

  • “What’s the safest time of day to move animals in Brisbane’s heat?”

  • “Can you load pet items like crates and kennels last so I can access them fast?”

Movers on Get It Cheaper are ready for these questions — and are happy to accommodate.
