Monthly revenue is typically around $1,000 to $5,000, depending on how many moves you book, whether they are domestic or international, and how many hours you put in. Treat this as an estimate, not a guarantee.

Check current import and export requirements with official sources such as USDA APHIS and the destination country. Also check whether you need a USDA registration or license as an animal transport business, plus insurance, contracts, and local home occupation or HOA rules.
