When booking pet-friendly accommodation here’s some things to remember:
- Check the size and number of pets allowed at the property.
- Make sure the backyard is fenced.
- Make sure the backyard is of appropriate size if you’re planning to bring a large dog.
- View pictures of the accommodation to see whether there’s a lot of breakables in the house which your pet could knock over.
- Ask what doggy friendly pet friendly conveniences they have.
Most of our holiday homes offer a secure environment for your pet, so there’s no risk of them escaping. However, there are some which don’t offer a secure fenced yard so you may need to consider taking your furry friend with you to experience the fun as pets aren’t allowed to be left indoors alone. Many of our accommodation features a grassed area outside the house, meaning there are plenty of pet-friendly backyard experiences for your family to enjoy. So be sure to ask our crew at Alpine Valley Getaways so you know exactly what you can expect and prepare for.
