Booking Pet-Friendly Transport and Accommodations without Hassle
Understanding Carrier Rules before You Book
- Search for your specific airline or route, and save a screenshot of the pet policy for instant reference at check-in.
- If you’re traveling with multiple pets, check how many each airline allows. This prevents last-minute denials or extra fees on the travel day.
- For international travel, view vaccination and paperwork requirements for each country, reducing paperwork anxiety at customs.
- See luggage and carrier size limits compared visually—especially helpful when buying new travel gear before the trip.
- Copy itinerary details to a packing list so you don’t miss health certificates or travel essentials at the gate.
Streamlining Hotel and Rental Bookings for Pets
- Select properties offering dedicated dog walking areas to ensure your pet’s routine stays familiar, even in new surroundings.
- Message hosts with pre-written questions: “Is a crate required while I’m out?” or “May I leave my dog supervised at the pool patio?”
- Save your top five properties and cross-reference rates and proximity to parks or vets on the in-app map feature.
- Use app alerts for rate drops or increased availability, especially useful during holiday travel or popular events.
- Review cancellation policies so you can switch accommodations easily if a pet doesn’t adjust well the first night.
