Yes, pets always stay with their flight nanny during layovers. The nanny remains responsible for the pet from the moment of pickup until the final handoff, even if the journey includes one or more connecting flights. This ensures constant supervision, comfort, and safety throughout the entire trip.


Do Pets Stay with their Flight Nanny during Layovers at the Airport?

During a layover, flight nannies take the pet with them off the plane and into the terminal. They never leave the pet unattended, and the carrier always stays secured. Depending on the airport and timing, the nanny may find a quiet area or family restroom to give the pet a short break, refresh their potty pad, or offer a little water.


Safety and Comfort D

uring Layovers

Layovers are carefully planned ahead of time to avoid unnecessary stress. If a delay occurs, the nanny communicates updates in real time so clients know exactly what’s happening. Pets are kept in calm, temperature-controlled areas and never placed in public pet relief zones unless previously approved by the owner.


Smooth Transitions Between Flights

When it’s time to board the next flight, the nanny carries the pet through TSA and to the new gate, just like during the first leg of the trip. At no point is the pet transferred to another person, airline staff, or cargo holding area. This continuous supervision is one of the biggest benefits of booking with a professional pet transport service.
