Can I Book A Vacation Rental And Bring My Pet(s)?

We know that for many travellers, a holiday wouldn't be the same without their pets. The good news? Many vacation rentals welcome furry friends! Whether you're booking through Holidu, Booking.com, or Airbnb, there are easy ways to find pet-friendly accommodations that will allow you to bring your beloved companions along on your getaway.

How Do I Find Pet-Friendly Stays?

Finding a pet-friendly vacation rental is straightforward across all three platforms. You can filter for pet-friendly listings in two simple ways:

1. During the booking process:

When selecting your destination, dates, and number of guests, you'll see an option to indicate you're travelling with pets. Simply select this option, and your search results will automatically display only accommodations that allow pets.

2. Using the search filters:

If you didn't select the pet option during the initial search, you can still apply a pet-friendly filter. Look for the "Pets allowed" option in your search filters (typically found in the facilities or amenities section on the left-hand side of the search results) and check the box. Your results will then update to show only pet-friendly properties.

What Should I Know About Pet Policies?

Each listing clearly states whether pets are allowed, along with any specific rules and regulations. Before booking, it's important to review the property description and house rules carefully, as some hosts may have restrictions on the following:

• The number of pets allowed
• The size or type of pets permitted
• Additional pet fees that may apply
• Specific house rules regarding pets

Be sure to check all property information thoroughly to ensure it meets your needs and your pet's requirements.

Do I Need To Add My Pet During Booking?

It's important to add your pet's information when booking, as some properties require this during the reservation process. If you discover after booking that you have a pet but didn't add them to your reservation, contact your host immediately to inform them that you'll be bringing a pet. This ensures the host is aware and can confirm whether your pet can be accommodated.

Failing to communicate about your pet to the host could result in issues upon arrival, so it's best to clarify this as soon as possible after booking.

What Are The Pet Fees?

Pet fees vary by property. In cases where no pet fees are mentioned in the listing description, some properties may still allow pets without additional charges. However, always review the complete property description and pricing breakdown before confirming your booking to understand any costs associated with bringing your pet.

Tips For Booking With Your Pet

• Read the entire property description, including house rules and pet policies, before booking
• Check for any breed, size, or type restrictions
• Review additional fees associated with pets
• Add your pet's information during the booking process if required
• If you forgot to add your pet, contact your host right away to discuss bringing them along
• Confirm all pet-related details before your arrival to ensure a smooth check-in experience

With proper planning and attention to each property's pet policy, you and your furry friend can enjoy a wonderful vacation together in a pet-friendly rental!
