Finding a pet-friendly vacation home is critical to many travelers. Bringing your furry friend along on vacation can make it even more enjoyable, and you don't have to deal with the hassle of finding pet care while you're away.
Approximately 12.6 million households took in pets between March and December 2020, according to the American Pet Products Association. So on the other side of the COVID-19 pandemic, even more families are looking for pet-friendly travel accommodations than ever.
If your pet is like family and you don't go anywhere without them, HomeExchange is a great way to travel! One of the best parts about home swapping is how pet-friendly many people are. It’s often no problem to bring your pet along with you or to leave your pet at home for your guests to care for.
"We've traveled with our dog and taken care of dogs and cats and chickens while being hosted. We've also taken our pet Budgerigar on numerous holidays. He likes to ride where there is the best view." -Susie, HomeExchanger
