Who Let The Dogs In

Bringing Pets on Vacation


It seems that more people these days are traveling with their pets, especially their pooches. Finding pet friendly accommodations at the Lake of the Ozarks, however, can be a little difficult. The market is growing and there is definitely a demand for those pet friendly properties, with guests even willing to pay extra for the privilege of bringing their furry friends.

Traveling with Pets


In fact, a recent Trip Advisor survey noted that 37% of pet owners say that they would be willing to pay more to stay at accommodations that are pet friendly. That same survey noted that 56% of American pet owners like to travel with their pets. Owners who are accepting pets are potentially seeing more rentals than those owners who do not cater to pets. According to the survey, the most common traveling companion is still man's best friend.

Catering to Pet Lovers


If you are going to cater to the pet loving public, there are a few things you will want to keep in mind, especially here at Lake of the Ozarks. At the Lake, most condo associations will not allow vacationing guests to bring their pets. Owners are allowed to have pets, but not their guests or the vacationing public. Be sure to check the rules before you start taking reservations for guests with pets. You definitely don't want a situation where you get fined by the association or your guest gets harassed or kicked out due to having a pet.

Pet Friendly Rentals 


Obviously, if your vacation rental property is a private home at the Lake of the Ozarks, then you should be in pretty good shape to make the decision on whether or not to accept rentals with pets. There are a number of things that you will want to consider before allowing pets. Do you have anyone in your family with pet allergies? You will also have to think of guests not traveling with pets and the fact that some of them may have family members with pet allergies.

Rules for Bringing Pets


You should also think about limiting the size of the pet and how many the guest can bring with them. At our company, we have a limit of two dogs and in most cases they need to be less than 20 pounds a piece for our homes that allow pets. We also ask that they be crated if they are going to be left alone in the home. In addition, you might require an extra deposit and/or an extra cleaning fee.

Pet Hotels & Boarding Houses


If you don't want pets in your rental property, there are a number of pet hotels and boarding houses that will boat the pets close to rental properties, allowing guests to take their pets with them and board them for the night at the pet hotel. This is a great option that you can offer your vacationing guests.

Russell Burdette is the owner/broker of Your Lake Vacation, a professional vacation rental management company at the Lake of the Ozarks since 1986. For more information on whether or not to make your property a pet friendly rental or to find out which of our rental homes are currently pet friendly, give us a call at 573-365-3367 today!
