Is Your Property Pet-Friendly?

Charlie Brown and Snoopy; Shaggy and Scooby Doo; Luke Skywalker and Chewbacca - the fact is, people love their furry friends. They're loyal companions, adventure buddies, and essential travel partners. According to reservations data, travelers prefer not to leave their pets behind when they go on vacation. In fact, bookings with pets have surged compared to last year, outpacing the overall reservation growth!

Surprisingly, less than a quarter of vacation rentals are pet-friendly, creating a golden opportunity for homeowners to stand out from the competition by welcoming pets.

On average, vacation homes that permit dogs earn up to 15% more rental income than those that don't. They also enjoy nearly 9% higher occupancy rates. Guests who search for pet-friendly homes are more likely to book longer stays as well.

Concerned about the impact on your rental property? Our housekeepers are trained to handle pet-related cleaning, ensuring your home stays in top-notch condition. Guest reviews of dog-friendly and non-dog-friendly homes show no difference in cleanliness or property condition scores.

Being pet-friendly pays off during slow travel seasons, as occupancy rates remain high for dog-friendly homes. Guests tend to book last-minute trips, and with fewer pet-friendly options available, your property becomes a sought-after choice.

Pet-friendliness also impacts peak seasons, with pet-friendly homes booking up to 8% earlier than those that don't allow pets. With high demand for quality pet-friendly accommodations, embracing pet-friendly policies can significantly boost revenue.

By welcoming pets into your vacation rental, you not only tap into a lucrative market but also provide guests with the opportunity to create unforgettable memories with their furry companions.
