Pet Policy and Pet Agreement for Holiday Accommodation

About this document

What it’s for

Dog-friendly properties are in high demand, but pets can cause damage, allergy problems for later guests and complaints from neighbours. A clear pet policy and a signed agreement set expectations and give you a basis to recover the cost of damage. It also reminds you of your duties to guests with assistance dogs.

When to use it

  • If you accept pets at your holiday let, B&B or guest house
  • For every booking that includes a pet
  • When setting pet charges and cleaning procedures

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

  1. Pets we welcome
  2. House rules for dogs
  3. Damage and cleaning
  4. Incidents
  5. Allergies

How to complete it

  • Decide which rooms or areas pets may use and your charges
  • Send the agreement to the lead guest for signature before arrival
  • Clean thoroughly after every pet stay, and tell allergy-sensitive guests which properties are pet-free

Key points to check

  • Assistance dogs must be accepted, and no pet fee can be charged for them, under the Equality Act 2010
  • Check that your insurance covers damage caused by guests’ pets
