Just like with airlines, whether or not a hotel or another short-term stay property allows your ESA is up to their own internal policies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can always ask if you can bring your ESA along, but as a rule, you\u2019ll want to plan to stay in pet-friendly policies if you want to travel with your ESA. However, service animals are required to be allowed to stay with you in any short-term hotel or accommodation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our guides cover everything you need to know about hotels or apartments in specific areas, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If they accept ESAs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What animals they will accept<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What pet fees or deposits you can expect<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tips on how to travel or stay with your animal<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any specific service animal policies<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any documentation or paperwork you\u2019ll be expected to bring or fill out<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;

Make sure the weather is appropriate to bring them out and about, be mindful of your animal\u2019s fitness level, keep lots of food and water with you if you\u2019re going to be out all day long, and be sure to have a reliable leash and potty bags with you. You may also want to get a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/usserviceanimals.org\/products\/194\/pet-gps-tracker\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GPS tracker<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for your animal\u2019s collar in case they get away from you while outdoors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is true even for a service dog. While they\u2019re medically necessary and are with you in order to do their job, you still need to make sure you\u2019re not over-exerting them, and that you have all the necessary supplies to keep them comfortable and safe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each guide covers everything you need to know, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where dogs are allowed in the park\/destination<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What other animals may be allowed<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Location-specific rules, including if they need to be leashed or can only be out during certain hours<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any ESA-specific policies<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any specific service animal policies<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tips for bringing your animal, including areas or times you should avoid\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fun things to do with your animal in the area<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to keep your animal safe<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Explore pet policies for different destinations below<\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"table-wrapper\"><table class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse;

While service animals are still allowed to fly for free, ESAs are subject to an airline&#8217;s pet policy.

If your animal is a service animal (not an ESA), they are legally allowed to fly with you for free in the cabin without being in a carrier; any other animal is up to the discretion of the airline itself.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-header\">\n<div class=\"faq-icon\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"icon-plus\" src=\"https:\/\/usserviceanimals.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/plus.png\" alt=\"Expand\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"icon-minus\" style=\"display: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/usserviceanimals.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/minus.png\" alt=\"Collapse\" \/><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"faq-question\">Where Can I Bring My Service Animal?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\">\n<div class=\"faq-answer-content\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Service animals are allowed in nearly any business or non-profit that is open to the public, even if that location has a no-pet policy. Some locations can deny a service animal if they will &#8220;fundamentally alter&#8221; what the location offers; for example, a service dog may make an operation room not sterile.

Legally, all that is required is the handler has a diagnosed disability, the dog is trained to perform at least one task to mitigate symptoms of that disability, and the dog is not destructive or aggressive.
