Plan pet transport, essentials and the arrival space
Plan pet transport separately from furniture removal. Record the carer, essentials, contacts and arrival space, and check the relevant tenancy and building arrangements.
Plan transport and care separately
Do not assume that a furniture-removal service includes pet transport. Confirm arrangements with the actual transport provider and assign a household member to handle the pet and essential-item handover.
While the home is receiving furniture, agree which space can be used and who will provide care. Check the tenancy, building rules and transport arrangement separately; these records answer different questions.
Transport and arrival record
Adapt the record to the pet and household, keeping private details off public labels.
| Item | Record | Follow-up |
|---|---|---|
| Transport | Time, person and handover point | Confirm with the transport provider |
| Essentials | Usual essentials and familiar items | Keep separate from the load |
| Arrival space | Usable space and carer | Coordinate with carrying routes |
| Documents | Relevant tenancy and building terms | List unanswered questions |
Example: transport and removal arrive at different times
Pet transport arrives before the removal vehicle. The assigned person receives the pet and places essentials in the agreed space, while the removal lead handles furniture. The two handovers do not depend on one person being free.
