At XO & CO Transport and Boarding, I believe pets deserve the same level of care and attention on the road as they receive at home. I’m Denise an animal lover at heart whose journey began as a veterinary assistant. My time working with pit bull rescues and volunteering for animal transport groups taught me the importance of safety, compassion, and communication when moving pets from one loving home to another. That foundation continues to guide everything I do today, serving Knoxville and nearby communities including Farragut, Maryville, Oak Ridge, Sevierville, and Lenoir City.
Through XO & CO, I now provide USDA-licensed ground and flight nanny services that make travel easier for pets and their families. From short-distance trips across Tennessee to long cross-country journeys, every detail is handled with care from route planning and updates to your pet’s comfort along the way. My goal is always a calm, stress-free experience from pickup to delivery. And as a proud Coast Guard mom, I’m happy to offer a 10% military discount as a small thank-you to those who serve.
Traveling can be stressful for pets, but XO & CO Transport makes every mile safe, calm, and comfortable. Whether your furry companion is headed just across Tennessee or all the way across the country, we provide dependable, door-to-door ground transport tailored to their unique needs. Serving Knoxville and nearby East Tennessee areas such as Alcoa, Clinton, Powell, Loudon, and Jefferson City, each trip is thoughtfully planned and handled with genuine care from start to finish.
Your pet rides in a clean, climate-controlled vehicle with scheduled breaks every few hours, overnight stays at pet-friendly hotels when needed, and regular photo and location updates so you always know how the journey is going. Choose solo transport for one-on-one attention or shared transport for a friendly, budget-conscious option. With USDA licensing, current health certificates, and proper vaccinations, you can trust that your pet is in safe, experienced hands — because at XO & CO, comfort and compassion travel right alongside every passenger.
When flying is the best or fastest way for your pet to travel, XO & CO’s Flight Nanny Service provides a caring, hands-on experience from start to finish. Your pet always flies in the cabin, never in cargo, ensuring they stay safe, comfortable, and close to a trusted handler the entire trip. Departing from McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS) in Knoxville, this service offers airport-to-airport delivery to destinations across the United States, giving pet parents complete peace of mind wherever their companions need to go.
Each journey is personally supervised by an experienced flight nanny who stays with your pet every step of the way, offering comfort, reassurance, and real-time updates, including photos and arrival confirmations. From the first check-in to the joyful reunion at the destination, XO & CO makes air travel simple, secure, and stress-free, treating every pet with the same love and attention they’d receive at home.
