How Pet Flight Nanny Service Works


A pet flight nanny is a professional who flies with your pet and cares for them throughout the trip. Your pet travels in an airline-approved carrier under the seat, close to Kathy the whole time. You avoid the stress of cargo travel, and your pet gets steady attention from pickup to delivery. If you cannot fly with your pet yourself, a flight nanny is one of the safest ways to get them there.


Pet Flight Nanny Serving Portland, OR and Beyond


Pet owners in Portland choose Kathy for flights to cities across the U.S. Whether you are relocating, buying a puppy from a breeder, or sending a pet to family, Kathy can plan the trip from Portland to your destination. Ground transport can also be arranged for some trips.


Airline Travel Expertise and Compliance


Kathy Kleczek is experienced in the rules that come with flying a pet. That includes airline carrier size and weight limits, pet fees, health documentation, and TSA screening, where your pet is carried through security by hand. Airline policies differ, so Kathy reviews the requirements for your specific flight and helps you prepare before departure.


Pet Flight Nanny vs. Cargo: What Is the Difference?


With a flight nanny, your pet travels in the cabin with a trained professional. In cargo, pets travel in the aircraft hold without a companion. Many owners choose a flight nanny because it keeps their pet with someone attentive, and because some airlines limit or restrict cargo travel by breed, season, or temperature.
