About the Relocation Assistance Program at Ellsworth AFB:

The Relocation Assistance Program at Ellsworth AFB is dedicated to supporting military personnel and their families during the often-overwhelming process of a PCS move. Offering a variety of services designed to ease the transition, the program aims to provide guidance, support, and resources to ensure a smooth relocation experience.

For instructions on how you can prepare for your upcoming trip and how to fill out the pet PCS reimbursement form DD Form 1351-2, do not hesitate to contact us.

Will The Military Pay for Pet PCS?

When you receive a PCS, you may be worried about the financial burden of moving household items, vehicles and even pet transportation costs. Moving with pets for military families is just one more layer of stress. Will the military help out with pet relocation costs? Yes, they will!

"As of January 1, 2024, military Service members going through a PCS (permanent change of station orders) within the continental United States can be reimbursed up to $550 for one household pet, either cat or dog, and up to $2,000 for moves to or from a location outside the continental United States to cover costs related to the transportation of a pet."

The new policy regarding reimbursement for PCS pet relocation services was approved by the Department of Defense in June 2023.

If you are traveling to or from certain high-risk countries, the Defense Department has authorized reimbursement of up to $4,000 starting November 25, 2024. This policy is in response to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) implementing a regulation that requires a higher screening level for dogs returning to the United States from countries that pose a high risk of rabies.

It's important to note that this increased allowance is only granted when the Patriot Express capacity and regularly scheduled commercial airline service are not available for pets.

Toni Dwarka Tobias

I was really impressed by the professionalism, communication and general good nature of our driver Kyle. I was so paranoid, this being our first time shipping our 11 year old dog off on his own. Kyle kept my paranoia at bay with frequent pics and messages. And when we couldn't make it in time to pick up Ali, he schedule a pet sitter (who lived on a ranch.....outstanding!). I couldn't have asked for more. Our dog is happy and so are we. We are military and will probably move again and I won't hesitate to book with Kyle!

A++++ Hire Mrs. Carla, you won't be disappointed. We had a plane delayed from Korea and it complicated the whole move but Mrs. Carla gladly helped and watched Ghost until he was able to fly from Seattle to Hawaii. She boarded him, picked him up from the airline and checked him back into a different airline without any issues. This was a military move and it was a relief to find someone who understood the military moves quickly go south and she scrambled for us. Thank you!
