If you’re new to the world of pet travel, the term “pet flight nanny” might sound unfamiliar. Simply put, a pet flight nanny is a trained professional who acts as your pet’s travel companion on a commercial flight, offering comfort, security, and one-on-one care from departure to arrival.
These dedicated pet escorts are ideal for animals traveling solo, especially when pet parents can’t make the journey themselves.
What Is a Pet Flight Nanny?
A Pet Flight Nanny accompanies your pet in-cabin on a commercial flight. They ensure that your dog or cat is never alone—offering calm, attentive care throughout the entire travel experience.
Whether your furry friend is flying across the country or internationally, the pet nanny helps minimize stress and handles the logistics so you don’t have to worry.
What Types of Pets Need a Flight Nanny?
Both small and large pets can benefit from a pet flight nanny:
- Small Pets (typically under 15–20 lbs): Travel in-cabin with the nanny in an airline-approved carrier.
- Larger Pets: Fly in the airline’s pet cargo section. While the nanny can’t join them in cargo, they are on the same flight, providing attention before departure and upon arrival.
