In-Cabin Air Nannies — Your Puppy Flies First Class

An in-cabin air nanny is the ultimate white-glove puppy delivery service. Your dedicated handler purchases a plane ticket, picks up your puppy from the breeder, and flies with your puppy in the cabin — right under the seat in an FAA-approved carrier — to your destination airport. No cargo holds. No freight. No strangers handling your puppy. Your air nanny is with your puppy from the moment they leave the breeder's arms to the moment they are placed in yours at the arrival gate. This is available to any US city with a commercial airport.

What an Air Nanny Does

An air nanny is a professional handler who specializes in in-cabin pet flight transport. The process works like this: the handler picks up your puppy from the breeder, ensures all health documents and airline paperwork are in order, places your puppy in an airline-compliant carrier, boards the flight, and keeps your puppy calm and comfortable in the cabin throughout the entire trip. When the flight lands, the handler walks off the plane with your puppy and meets you right at the airport. They hand off your puppy along with all health records, vaccination documents, and care instructions. It is as close to picking up your puppy in person as it gets — without you having to fly anywhere.

FAA-Approved Carriers and Airline Pet Policies

All major US airlines allow small dogs to fly in the cabin in an FAA-approved soft-sided carrier that fits under the seat. The carrier must meet specific size requirements — typically 17 to 18 inches long, 11 inches wide, and 9 to 11 inches tall — and the puppy must be able to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably inside. Our air nannies use only airline-compliant carriers that meet all current size and ventilation requirements. They stay up to date on every airline's specific pet policies, breed restrictions, and documentation requirements so nothing is left to chance on travel day.
