About Joe Schwerbert & Sunrise Animal Services

Welcome to Sunrise Animal Services. My name is Joe Schwerbert, and I founded this business on a very simple, unshakeable philosophy: If it involves your animal, I will find a way to help.

Animals are not just a job for me; they are my life’s work. Before launching Sunrise Animal Services, I spent just under four years serving our community directly in professional Animal Control. That field experience taught me exactly how to handle animals under pressure, read complex body language, and manage everything from standard domestic pets to highly challenging situations safely and humanely.

To back that field experience with the highest standards in the industry, I earned my National Animal Care & Control Association (NACA) Level 1 and Level 2 certifications. This advanced training means your animal is always handled using modern, low-stress, and safe behavioral techniques.

Elite Safety on the Open Road

When I realized how many pet parents struggled to find trustworthy, legal, and truly secure transportation for their animals, I set out to build the gold standard of pet transit. Whether we are driving across Northwest Arkansas or crossing state lines, safety is never compromised.

  • The Ride: Your pet travels first-class in "Ol' Red," a luxury, spacious, and meticulously climate-controlled Lincoln Navigator.

  • The Protection: We utilize heavy-duty, double-walled, rotomolded G1 Gunner Kennels—the absolute pinnacle of crash-tested pet security on the market today.

  • The Legality: Sunrise Animal Services holds an active USDA Class T registration (Certificate No. 71-T-0193), making us fully authorized and legally compliant to transport your pets across state lines safely and legally.

More Than Just Transport

While we provide premium local pet taxi and interstate relocation services, my background in animal control means I am uniquely equipped to handle a wide variety of animal needs. If you have an unconventional situation, a pet with unique handling requirements, or a challenge that standard pet-care companies turn away, you can count on us to step in.

When you trust your animal with Sunrise Animal Services, you are getting more than just a driver—you are getting a certified professional who treats your family like his own.

Let's hit the road together.
