Can I Bring My Certified Service Animal To My Booked Vacation Rental?

Yes, you can bring your certified service animal to your vacation rental. In European countries, service animals are allowed regardless of a property's pet policy and without additional fees.

What Are Considered Service Animals?

The following are recognized as service animals in Europe:

• Guide dogs for the blind
• Hearing alert dogs for the deaf
• Seizure alert dogs
• Other classes of assistance dogs

Please note that therapy animals (such as those used for anxiety support) are not considered service animals in Europe, unlike in the United States.

Are There Any Exceptions?

Exceptions may apply in specific health and safety situations. For example, hosts with certified severe allergies do not have to accept service animals. We recommend reaching out to your host in advance to confirm arrangements and discuss any specific needs.

What Should I Do Before Booking?

Contact your host directly before confirming your reservation. This allows you to discuss your service animal's needs and ensures a smooth check-in experience for you and your furry companion.
