We created Holidaying with Dogs<\/a> after finding it increasingly difficult to search for truly pet-friendly accommodation in Australia. We often had the experience of choosing a property only to learn our dogs couldn’t stay inside with us, which isn’t really pet-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you start your search, there are a few key things you should always look for in a pet-friendly property. The good news is Holidaying with Dogs<\/a> makes this really easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can my dog sleep inside?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a huge question when considering where to stay. Gone are the days of leaving your dog outside no matter what the weather. We consider our dogs to be part of the family and are inside dogs. So why would it be any different when holidaying with your dog?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We use icons to show if a property allows you to have your dog inside. When searching, use our filters to show only properties that allow dogs inside. At the top of each page, you’ll notice a small house icon (pictured below) to indicate you can. 97% of the properties listed on Holidaying with Dogs<\/a> allow you to have your dog inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will my dog be secure in the backyard?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Depending on your dog, it could be a deal-breaker if the yard doesn’t have full and secure fencing. If you have an older dog, you may not need to worry about fencing, but if your dog is young or mischievous, then you probably will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use our filters to find all the fenced properties. At the top of each page, you will see a small fence icon (pictured below) to confirm the yard is secure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extra pet-friendly features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are certain properties that go above and beyond for dogs. We sometimes think they would prefer it if just the dogs visited! It is an excellent sign of how pet-friendly a property is when they have a little goodie pack just for your dog on arrival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have pet-friendly features available for property owners to indicate what they will have ready for you and your pooch at check-in. They are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
