Some hotels may allow only small pets, or require a deposits or additional fees for pets. Be clear about the requirements and whenever possible, request confirmation in writing.

The guests can walk their dogs by themselves or the Lands in Love staff will arrange walks. Very small dogs may stay in the owner’s room (a signed damage liability agreement is required). As of 2010, the pet hotel rate is $20 per day (same rate applies whether the owner is a guest at the hotel or whether the owner boards the pet while staying elsewhere).
