When it comes to service animals, be aware that all properties in the United States and U.S. territories must accommodate guests requiring a service animal, regardless of the property’s normal pet policy. 

Guests are not required to disclose the presence of a service animal or provide documentation. It’s important to respect the rights of guests with service animals and ensure your property is accessible and accommodating.

Once you’ve established your pet policy, clearly communicate it in your vacation rental listing. This will ensure potential guests can easily understand whether your property suits their needs and will avoid potential conflicts and negative feedback.

By considering these aspects and creating an effective pet policy for your vacation rental, you’ll be one step closer to providing a memorable and enjoyable experience for all your guests, whether they walk on two legs or four.
