We had the good fortune of connecting with Karine Shashoua and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Karine, what is the most important factor behind your success?
I would say that my success lies in my ability to be authentic with my clients and the unique way I interact with their dogs. It’s also my unwavering commitment to ensuring their pets’ safety and well-being during every journey. My personalized and reliable service, combined with a genuine passion for animals, perhaps sets me apart in the pet transport industry. Most of my customers are repeat clients so that relationship builds on itself over time. It’s takes a tremendous amount of trust and faith to send someone off with your car and your dog for the first time. I invest the time to get to know my clients and their dogs as much as possible before that first trip so everyone is as comfortable as possible.

What began as a standard pet transport service, moving two or three dogs to different locations, has evolved into a distinctive one-on-one experience where , I now chauffeur them in their family’s vehicle while they fly to their destination. The majority of my clients are seasonal homeowners with residences in both the northeast and the south, allowing me to work with them multiple times throughout the year and see the dogs I have fallen in love with over and over again. Even when my services extend beyond my repeat clients to one-time customers relocating across the country, the strong trust and relationships formed mean I stay connected with those families as well occasionally visiting months later when I’m in the area. The strong connections and bonds that are formed bring me immense joy as I genuinely cherish the people and dogs within my TLK Family!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
It took me a long time to figure out what I wanted to do in life that brought me deeper meaning and purpose. I would never have gotten here without the help and support of my family, especially my husband. My yoga practice and my amazing Life Coach and Therapist that helped me to heal after not realizing my dream of becoming a mother have all played a huge role in being able to see myself as a successful person and entrepreneur.
