Can I Bring My Certified Service Animal To My Booked Vacation Rental?

Yes, certified service animals are welcome at vacation rentals across Europe, regardless of a property's pet policy. No additional fees apply for service animals.

What Are Service Animals?

In Europe, the following are recognized as service animals:

• Guide dogs for the blind
• Hearing alert dogs for the deaf
• Seizure alert dogs
• Other classes of assistance dogs

Please note that therapy animals, such as those trained to help with anxiety, are not classified as service animals in Europe, unlike in the United States.

Are There Any Exceptions?

In rare cases, hosts with certified allergies or serious health conditions may not be required to accept service animals. We recommend contacting your host in advance to confirm their specific situation and ensure a smooth booking experience.

What Should I Do Before Booking?

To avoid any complications, reach out to your host before confirming your reservation. Provide details about your certified service animal and confirm they can accommodate your needs. This proactive approach helps ensure a comfortable stay for you and your furry companion.
