California

So you like "California Dreaming" while your bulldog prefers "Californication" (or maybe it's the other way around). So what? Get over it. You're in pet-friendly California. What can be so bad? They'll be plenty of time to listen to both as you're cruising in your fancy rented convertible on Highway 1 from Carmel to Santa Barbara. You could probably even fit in "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" and "Little Old Lady from Pasadena." Hey, it's a big state so there's plenty to see, discover…and listen to. And there's loads of pet-friendly lodgings in California, too. And whatever you're doing—wine-tasting in Napa Valley, enjoying the sun in San Diego, or losing yourself in the incredible beauty of the High Sierras—we guarantee you and your pet will find peace—if not musical harmony—in the great Golden State.

To find pet-friendly lodging, choose a city from the drop-down menu above or browse through the cities below to find a complete list of all pet-friendly hotels in California. Our lodgings also include Bed & Breakfasts, Cabins and Cottages, Inns and Motels.
