For Independent Hotels

The Best Dog Friendly Hotel In Your Market, Proven

You already give the dog a bowl, a bed and a proper hello. What you cannot yet do is prove it, and you do not want a chain's playbook. We measure what you do well, show you the few decisions that move the grade, and build a welcome that could only be yours.

In Your Own Words

Your World

You are the hotel people recommend to friends with dogs. The welcome is yours: the walk the barman knows, the table on the terrace that is always the dog's, the name remembered at check-in. What you lack is proof. A bigger flag down the road says pet-friendly on a billboard and takes the booking, and the guest only finds out on arrival that the dog cannot sit in the bar.

You do not want a consultant who arrives with a template. The standard is the floor, and everything above it is shaped around your hotel.

What We Do For You

Most independents start with the audit, because it tells you what your guests are actually told.

  • Mystery Shopper Audit

    We ask your hotel what a guest with a dog asks and score the answers against the standard with the evidence quoted, then benchmark you against the hotels that take your bookings, so you can outcompete them.

  • Certification Advisory

    The decisions that move the grade, in order of return, and a re-score at the end. Most of the first ones are decisions, not capital.

  • Operational Design

    The dog menu with your kitchen, the walk, the sitter and the groomer arranged rather than recommended, and the spaces zoned so every guest is comfortable.

  • Content & Marketing

    A dog friendly page guests believe, the launch of your grade, and the moments worth sharing. We plan it and make it; your team runs it.

Done Well

What It Looks Like When Done Well

The guest reads your dog friendly page and finds everything she needs before booking: which dogs, which spaces, what it costs, how many. On arrival the dog is greeted by name. Dinner is on the terrace with the dog under the table, and the morning walk is on a card in the room. The grade on your page is independent and dated, and it says what you knew all along.

Among the hotels we grade A and A+, nearly three in ten let the dog stay free. The welcome, not the fee, is what the guest pays for.
