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

Service Animals Are Welcome

Yes, you can bring your certified service animal to your vacation rental. In European countries, service animals are permitted regardless of a property's pet policy and without any additional fees.

What Qualifies as a Service Animal?

In Europe, the following are considered legitimate service animals:

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

Important note: Therapy animals for anxieties are not classified as service animals in Europe, unlike in the United States.

Are There Any Exceptions?

While service animals are generally allowed, exceptions may apply in specific health and safety situations. For example, hosts with certified severe allergies to dogs may not be required to accept service animals.

What Should You Do?

We recommend reaching out to your host in advance to inform them about your certified service animal. This ensures a smooth check-in and confirms all arrangements are in place for your stay.

We hope this helps you find the perfect vacation rental for you and your certified service animal!
