Advertising Disclosure and Privacy Policy

Advertising Disclosure

PetFriendly.com helps travelers find pet-friendly accommodations, travel information, and resources for planning trips with pets. Some links, listings, advertisements, hotel results, vacation rental results, products, or services displayed on PetFriendly.com may be sponsored, paid, or connected to affiliate partnerships.

PetFriendly.com may receive compensation when visitors click certain links, view sponsored content, complete a booking, purchase a product or service, or interact with one of our travel, advertising, or affiliate partners. This compensation may influence where certain listings, offers, or advertisements appear on the website, but it does not require us to recommend anything we believe is misleading or not useful to pet owners.

Pet policies, fees, weight limits, breed restrictions, and availability can change at any time. PetFriendly.com works to provide helpful information, but travelers should always confirm pet rules directly with the hotel, vacation rental, property manager, or booking provider before making a reservation or beginning a trip.
