Gently Hands LLC

Gently Hands LLC provides ground animal transport in Waynesboro, Virginia, serving the Shenandoah Valley region near Charlottesville. Ivan Shkaruba and the team move dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs, coordinating routes for individual pet owners as well as farm and breeding operations that need livestock moved safely between locations.

The company holds an active USDA APHIS Class T registration as a registered animal carrier, active through May 2027.

This makes Gently Hands a practical option for breeders relocating animals, farms shifting herds or flocks between pastures, and pet owners who need a calm, direct transport solution rather than a long car ride. Their species range covers both companion animals and working livestock, so a single call can often handle mixed loads, whether that means a family dog and a cat headed to a new home or a small group of goats or sheep moving to a new pasture.
