OVER ONS
Mario Boerlage Founder Dierentaxi Westland
For most people, a taxi is a means of transport. For Mario Boerlage, it is a safe haven on wheels for pets.
As the founder of Dierentaxi Westland, he has turned his passion for animals into his life's work: the professional, stress-free, and comfortable transport of pets within the Netherlands and internationally throughout the European Union.
The idea for Dierentaxi Westland arose from a clear need in the market.
Many regular carriers refuse animals or lack the proper facilities and knowledge to transport them safely. Mario realized that pets are full-fledged family members to their owners – and therefore should be treated as such during transport.
Based on that conviction, he built a specialized service in which animal welfare, safety, and personal guidance are central.
Specialized and certified transport
Dierentaxi Westland is RDW-certified and holds the necessary NVWA permits for professional animal transport. The specially equipped vehicles are insulated, fitted with ventilation systems and camera surveillance, ensuring animals travel under optimal conditions.
Every trip is carefully prepared, with attention to rest, temperature, hygiene, and monitoring en route.
More than transport.
What sets Mario apart is his background and involvement in the dog world. With extensive knowledge of animal behavior and handling, he understands how stress can arise during transport — and, more importantly, how it can be prevented.
Calmness, clear communication, and a stable environment form the basis of every ride.
His approach is personal: no mass transport, but individual guidance. Owners are kept informed en route and know that their animal is in professional hands. This combination of craftsmanship, certification, and genuine love for animals makes Dierentaxi Westland a trusted name for private pet owners who do not want to compromise on quality.
It is particularly the international customization that distinguishes Dierentaxi Westland within the industry. Whether it involves a cat to Spain, a dog to France, or multiple pets for a complete emigration: every process is personally supervised and tailored to the specific needs of both the animal and the owner.
International Animal Transport
European pet transport at VIP level
In 2020, Mario Boerlage founded the international animal transport service Pet Transport Westland.
This European branch of Dierentaxi Westland specializes in professional pet transport within Europe, where safety, comfort, and animal welfare are always paramount.
We provide international transport of dogs, cats, and other pets for private individuals who are moving, emigrating, spending the winter abroad, or wish to have their pet safely transported to another European destination.
From the very beginning, we have had one clear mission: to transport pets within Europe in a way that is safe, calm, and completely animal-friendly..
The reality of much animal transport in Europe
Within Europe, we unfortunately see that many transporters work with overcrowded transport vans, in which as many animals as possible are transported at the same time.
This method often results in:
- long routes through multiple European countries
- many stops to pick up or drop off animals
- limited rest and comfort for the animals
- unnecessary stress during the trip
As a result, such transport can be long, tiring, and stressful for pets.
At Pet Transport Westland, we believe that this can be done differently — and above all, must be done differently.
Our vision: Very Important Pet Transport
We have deliberately chosen an exclusive and personal approach to international pet transport.
For us, the focus is not on the number of animals, but on the well-being of each individual animal.
That is why we work according to our own concept:
Very Important Pet Transport
This means that we transport animals with:
✔ maximum attention and personal care
✔ comfortable, safe and well-ventilated vehicles
✔ Relaxation during the journey with as little stress as possible
✔ Professional drivers with experience in animal transport
✔ transport that fully complies with European regulations
Our vehicles are specially equipped for safe animal transport throughout Europe, so that pets experience their journey as comfortably as possible.
Exclusive pet transport with personal escort
Our services have been specifically developed for people who have their pet transported as a family member, not as cargo.
That is why more and more customers are choosing Pet Transport.

Animal Taxi Facility
( Ford Transit Custom and Renault Megane Estate Van )
Discover the comfortable and safe interior of our Pet Taxis, including the spacious Ford Transit Custom and the practical Renault Megane Estate Van. Both vehicles are fully insulated, ensuring not only a pleasant temperature but also a peaceful journey for your pet. The modern ventilation systems in the cars are designed to continuously supply fresh air while simultaneously removing moisture and heat, guaranteeing an optimal living environment for the animals.
In addition, the animal compartments in the vehicle are equipped with an advanced camera surveillance system. This enables the driver to closely monitor the well-being of the animals during the journey. For extra careful monitoring, a temperature monitoring system is also present in these areas, so you can be certain that your pet is always in a comfortable environment.
With two separate compartments in the car, dogs who prefer it can be safely separated, contributing to their peace of mind during the journey. The special area for dogs, strategically placed behind the front seats, is separated from the front seats by a sturdy barrier, ensuring that both the dogs and the driver experience a safe and pleasant ride.
Your pet always travels in style and comfort on every ride with us, because we make every journey feel like a luxury experience where your four-legged friend's well-being always comes first.
