Make sure to read our 'Travel Tips' guide as it contains important and valuable information necessary to prepare your pet for traveling. Click the following link to go to our 'Travel Tips' page.
Contacting the property
• When making reservations, tell them that you're planning on bringing your pet. Some properties have restrictions on the number, type, size, or weight of pets they allow.
• Ask about any non-refundable fees or refundable deposits required.
• Find out about any restrictions on the number and type of rooms available. Some properties limit pets to smoking rooms or to a certain section of the property. Additionally, some properties might have seasonal or length of stay restrictions on pets.
• Inquire as to whether your pet may be left unattended while in the room and, if so, if the pet must be crated.
• It's recommended that you request a ground floor room to make late night bathroom runs easier.
During check-in
• Announce your pet and ask about areas to walk your pet and any areas that your pet is not permitted.
• Also ask about any ant or insect poisons in use; many of these are toxic to pets.
While in your room
• Cover any furniture and beds your pet will be allowed on. Never permit your pet to sleep on beds, chairs, or bed spreads unless they have been covered with your own bed covering.
• Place your pet's food and water bowls on a mat or feed them outside. Litter boxes should go in the bathroom to make cleanup easier and newspaper should be placed underneath.
During your stay
• Wipe off muddy or dirty paws before your pet goes into the room.
• If your pet should damage property, report it immediately and volunteer to pay any costs.
Public areas
• Always keep your pet leashed. Never take your pet into a dining area, bar, lounge, or pool area.
• Walk your pet far from lawns, flower beds, and other public areas and always clean up after your pet.
Leaving your room
• Avoid leaving your pet alone in the room. If you must do so, inform the front desk, turn on your radio or television to keep your pet entertained, and make sure that your pet is securely crated. Also be sure to put the ‘Do Not Disturb' sign on the door.
