How to become a flight nanny

This is the number one question I get in my inbox from curious animal lovers like yourself who never even knew that this was someone's job.

"Where was this option during career day?", they ask while sitting next to me on the plane. 

 "So people actually pay you to do this?" - Why yes they do.

In fact, it is my full time job. 

I honestly had no idea that this would turn into a full blown business when I started transporting puppies locally in Cincinnati, Ohio during the summer of 2020. Getting into the business was a total accident and the best thing I never saw coming. You can watch the video to the left to learn about my origin story. 

​

From ground transportation, flight nanny options came naturally. And it made so much sense to have an expedited option for small pets to help them get home same-day. Flight nannies not only help new puppies and kitties and bunnies get to their forever homes, but they also support families who are moving or on military relocation or simply need their pet to travel to a family member. We are the solution to all the anxiety filled questions about pet travel. We absorb the stress of travel and allow the family to wait joyfully for our arrival.
