Pet Friendly Lodging Etiquette

Cat travelIf your journey's itinerary requires an overnight stay along the way at a pet-friendly accommodation, there are a number of tips to consider:

  • Reserve a ground floor room to make bathroom runs easier.
  • At check-in, inquire about areas to walk your pet.
  • Cover any furniture and beds your pet will be allowed on.
  • Place litter boxes in the bathroom to make clean up easier.
  • Avoid leaving your pet alone in the room. Even the best-behaved pets can bark and become destructive when in a new environment. If your plans require you to stay for a longer period of time, inquire about local pet sitters or pet day care. If your pet's demeanor is such that you are able to leave them alone for a short period of time, be sure to alert the front desk. It also may help to put the TV or radio on to keep your pet comfortable, and place a note on your door indicating that your precious pet is inside.
  • Keep your pet leashed and refrain from taking them into the lodging dining areas.
  • And of course...always clean up after your pet’s bathroom runs.
