6 Tips For Keeping Pet Friendly Vacation Rentals Friendly

Saturday we welcome our first furry friend to our first set of pet friendly vacation rentals at the beach. We're looking for input from guests, owners, and managers of pet friendly vacation rentals, hotels, bed and breakfasts to find out what makes lodging pet friendly, and how do you keep it human friendly for those guests who don't bring their pets?

I've stayed in just one pet friendly vacation rental in the last several years at South Lake Tahoe. There were water and food bowls, a dog bone, and a leash. We plan on providing the same plus bags.

Tell us here about your pet friendly needs, experiences, and tips for keeping pet friendly rentals human friendly.

Our Tips for a Good Pet Friendly Lodging Experience:
1. Provide bowls for water and food.
2. Provide a leash.
3. Treat the animal with a treat upon arrival.
4. Pay the cleaner a bit extra when the guest brings pets, and let them know ahead of time that a pet was there.
5. Supply bags for guests to clean up after the pets.
6. Supply a list of dog friendly places in the area (maybe restaurants with outdoor seating, a local dog park, local vet, local pet supply store.
