What to know before you arrive with your pet
A pet-friendly hotel officially accepts pets in guest rooms. Your dog or cat stays with you — not in a kennel. Some hotels charge a small nightly pet fee or refundable deposit; others charge nothing extra. Rayside has a confirmed pets allowed policy.
New environments can unsettle dogs. Bring a familiar blanket or toy for scent comfort, keep to your usual routine, and arrive calmly. A travel crate gives anxious dogs a secure den. Speak to your vet about calming supplements for particularly nervous travellers.
Whether you can leave your pet unattended varies by hotel. Always confirm the property's policy in advance — some require pets to be crated when alone, others have no restriction. If in doubt, ask at check-in.
