"Care and consideration is the best path, wherever we're headed." — The Jackie B's Care-a-Van Promise

What Sets Us Apart

The Care-a-Van Touch

Every trip is built around your pet's comfort, safety, and peace of mind — yours and theirs.

👫

Two-Person Driver Team

We always travel together. While Jackie focuses on driving, Lali provides hands-on attention to your pet — companionship, comfort, and even a soothing lullaby when needed (yes, it works wonders on nervous pups!).

📱

Daily Video Updates

We know how nerve-racking it is to trust someone with your beloved pet. That's why we send daily video check-ins throughout the entire journey — and we're always happy to pick up when you want to check in.

🚐

A Van Built for Pets

Our custom-converted Care-a-Van is spray foam insulated and climate-controlled, with individual crates for each animal and a bed in the back so we're with them around the clock. See what's inside →

📋

Personalized Care Plan

Before pickup, we work with you to understand your pet's individual needs — favorite toys, calming treats, preferred blankets, extra walks when stressed. Your pet's comfort is our blueprint for every mile.

A Trip Worth a Thousand Words

Happy dogs, open roads, and two people who genuinely love what they do. This is what a Jackie B's Care-a-Van transport actually looks like — straight from the road.

Custom-Converted

Built for Pets.
Not Cargo.

Our Care-a-Van was purpose-built for animal comfort and safety. Here's what that actually looks like inside.

🌡️

Always Climate-Controlled

The cargo area is spray foam insulated and equipped with a mini-split AC/heat unit on an independent battery system — so it stays the perfect temperature even when the engine isn't running.

🏠

Individual Cozy Crates

Every pet travels in their own secure, comfortable space. We can provide crates if you don't have one — no problem.

🌙

We Sleep in the Van with Your Pet

There's a bed in the back for us. We stay with your pet the entire journey — overnight, every stop — so they're never left alone.

Pawsitive Feedback

★★★★★
"Honestly, 5 stars aren't enough appreciation for Jackie B. From the moment I first messaged them to the drop-off, it's been absolutely incredible. They are the most pet-friendly people I've ever met. They made the entire process simple and stress-free — and no matter what time day or night, they would answer and put you at ease. The most fantastic moment was when I got a call from my mother crying happy tears at the delivery. Jackie B made that moment happen and I will forever be grateful."

"This was a first-time experience for us and Jackie B's made it wonderful! Absolutely seamless from A to Z. I never had to worry if our cats were being taken care of. The communication was great and we received daily videos, photos, and updates of our fur babies. They are incredible human beings who truly care for your pets as if they were their own. I would highly recommend them to anyone."

"I cannot express enough how grateful I am for Jackie! Quick to respond, beyond fair in price, and took the very best care of my super shy, easily-spooked 60 lb Labrador. Long haul from Tucson to San Diego without a hitch! I will refer you to everyone I know ❤️ Now I can breathe easier!"

"Jackson was great. He stopped and gave my pup hikes a couple of times. We were able to see where he was at any time — you can tell he loves animals. I highly recommend Jackie B's, you won't be sorry. We loved him so much, we named our new puppy Jackson!"

"Jackie is absolutely INCREDIBLE!! He kept me updated the whole way, got there in great time, and was so kind and understanding of my dog's needs. From the moment he picked her up I knew I'd made the best decision. It made parting with her so much easier knowing she'd have a fantastic adventure along the way. Couldn't recommend Jackie enough — the absolute best!!! 🤩"
