It all depends on what type of animal and what service is agreed upon. These responses are general and refer mostly to dogs and cats. Other domestic and wild animals may require different assistance while traveling. Please ask if you have any questions about transport for animals other than a dog or cat.
For ground transportation, I will travel with your pet(s) exclusively, keeping safety and comfort a priority. Generally, we will stop every two hours and when appropriate, your pet will be allowed out of the vehicle to potty and stretch. I monitor your pet to determine if they need time to play or reassurance if traveling isn't their favorite activity. I am completely available to you and your pet, answering your calls and keeping you updated on our progress and your pet's well-being. Please keep in mind that I typically drive 600-800 miles in a day depending on weather, traffic and construction so it may take multiple days for ground transport depending on the length of the route. I offer exclusive transport and we take the most direct route.
For flight nanny service assisting, I will also travel with your pet(s) exclusively for the duration of the flight and transport service. Similar to ground transport I am focused on your pet's well-being. This includes ensuring your pet is offered water and opportunities to stretch and potty regularly. Communication in-flight is limited but you'll receive regular updates when not in flight.
For cargo assist service, I can retrieve your pet from the cargo hold area immediately after the flight lands and offer attention to your pet within the airport. I will clean-up their hard-sided cage, offer water and food, an opportunity to potty and stretch as applicable. For drop off, I will attend to their needs before departure and minimize their unattended travel time. As with all services, you will receive frequent communication regarding the travel details and my assessment of the well-being of your beloved pet.
