About The Pet Stay Guide
Let's replace pet-friendly with genuine pet hospitality.
“Pet-friendly” has become one of hospitality’s vaguest labels.
It can describe anything from a hotel that simply permits pets to one that has genuinely considered their comfort, care and place in the guest experience.
The Pet Stay Guide makes that difference easier to understand. We bring together the policies, fees, restrictions, amenities and services that matter when travelling with a pet.
For pet travellers
Better information before you book
Travelling with a pet comes with questions that traditional hotel listings often don’t answer clearly.
Are dogs and cats accepted? What fees or size limits apply? How many pets can stay? What amenities and services are actually available?
That information is often scattered across hotel websites, booking platforms and policy pages — or reduced to little more than a “pets allowed” icon.
We think pet travellers deserve better information.
The Pet Stay Guide brings those details together, verifies them and presents them consistently, so travellers can understand what to expect before they book.

We collect and verify the pet policies, fees, restrictions, amenities and services associated with individual properties.
- We make it comparable
Information is organised consistently, so travellers can compare properties without decoding a different pet policy every time.
- We give it context
Paw ratings help show how far a property has gone beyond simply accepting pets, using the same published criteria wherever you travel.

For the travel industry
A single source of truth
Pet policies are often duplicated across hotel websites, OTAs, booking engines and travel platforms — and those versions do not always agree.
We turn that fragmented information into a structured, verified data layer covering policies, fees, restrictions, amenities and services, powered by our own pet-policy API.
Today, that data powers The Pet Stay Guide. We are building it to also flow downstream to the booking and travel partners travellers already use.
The goal is simple: a hotel updates its pet policy once, and that accurate information can follow the property wherever it is discovered or booked.
Less duplicated maintenance for hotels. Better-quality data for travel platforms. Fewer surprises for pet owners.
One update. One source of truth. Better information everywhere.
