"The flight nanny service was incredible. My cat is very anxious and I was dreading the move from Houston to New York. The flight nanny sent me a photo of her curled up on the seat right after takeoff. Zero stress, perfect delivery. Worth every penny."

We drive approximately 500–600 miles per day, making regular stops for rest, water, and bathroom breaks. A transport from Houston to New York (approximately 1,600 miles) typically takes 3–4 days. We'll give you an exact timeline during your consultation.

Our vehicles are climate-controlled and purpose-equipped for pet transport. Pets are secured with appropriate crates or harnesses. We make regular stops for water, feeding, and rest. Our drivers are trained in animal behavior and basic pet first aid. All transports include GPS tracking and real-time updates.

Every transport is covered by our comprehensive pet transport liability insurance, included in your transport fee at no additional cost. For specific questions about coverage limits and exclusions, please contact us directly during your consultation.

Yes! We can transport multiple pets from the same household together. Since we offer VIP solo transports, your pets will never be mixed with pets from other families. Please mention the number and types of pets when requesting your quote.

We require current vaccination records and a health certificate from a licensed veterinarian (especially for interstate transport). Some states have additional requirements β€” we'll walk you through exactly what's needed for your specific route.
