You are welcome to detail your pet policies to help
ensure a good match with your potential guests. The only
requirement we have at this time is that you must allow
pets to sleep indoors with their people, without being
forced to be confined to a specific area not typically
occupied by their people (ie. "pets permitted only
inside the laundry room or garage"). However, you
may be interested to know that people traveling with
pets frequently comment on the following two policies:
1. Smoking Rooms Only
Please consider offering those traveling with pets a
choice of staying in a non-smoking room. As you know, the
smell of smoke can be bothersome to non-smokers, and many
pet owners do not smoke. Some lodgings have set aside a
couple of "pet-friendly, non-smoking rooms" just for this
purpose.
2. Size Restrictions
Travelers with large dogs have often expressed their
frustration with finding accommodations -- despite having
friendly, well-behaved pets that make excellent guests.
Please consider allowing pets on an individual basis,
rather than using a blanket policy based on size. Pets
are individuals just like people are -- and by permitting
well-behaved pets of all sizes, you'll have the
opportunity to book more rooms as well as earn a happy
customer.
