How much do pet fees add to a hotel stay with a dog?
Estimate room + pet fees for any city, check weight vs hotel limit, and get a booking checklist. Not a hotel directory.
Quick answer
Stay total = (room rate × nights) + pet fees. Per-night fees: pet total = fee × nights × pets. Flat stay fee: pet total = fee × pets. Worked example: London 80/night × 3 + $45 pet fee/night × 3 = **$540 + 35 = $675** — pet fees are **20%** of the trip before taxes.

Preset rates are examples only — replace with the real listing price and pet fee before you trust the total.

Confirm in writing before you pay
- Exact pet fee (per night vs flat) and when it is charged
- Weight limit and whether it is per pet or combined
- Breed restrictions / “aggressive breeds” bans
- Pets left alone in room allowed? Time limit?
- Pet-designated floors/rooms only — ask at booking
This is a cost estimator + checklist, not a hotel directory. “Pet-friendly” badges often hide fees and weight caps. Always verify with the property. Estimates only.
How it works
Name any city (London, Seattle, Singapore, Roma…). Presets only load example rates — they are not live hotel prices. Compare your dog’s weight to the hotel’s stated limit: “pet-friendly” often means **under 25–50 lb** and a fee collected at check-in, not in the OTA headline rate.
Use the checklist before you pay: fee type, weight/breed rules, unattended pets, pet-only floors. Gear that travels well: a travel dog bed, collapsible dog travel bowls, a portable dog water bottle and dog waste bag dispenser. This tool is a cost estimator — not BringFido or Booking. Confirm everything with the property.

Frequently asked questions
Why is the pet fee missing from the Booking / Expedia price?+
Most OTAs show the room rate only. Pet fees are often charged by the hotel at check-in (per night or flat). Always open the property pet policy and add those fees to your budget — that is what this calculator models.
What is a typical pet fee range?+
In the US, $25–75 per night or $50–150 flat per stay is common; some chains waive fees. In Italy/EU, €10–35 per night or a one-time sanitising fee (~€25–40) is typical. Luxury and city-centre properties skew higher.
Does pet-friendly mean any dog size?+
No. Many hotels cap at 25–50 lb (about 11–23 kg), sometimes combined for two pets. Breed bans also appear. Enter the stated limit in the tool; if your dog is over it, call before you book.
Can I use this for vacation rentals too?+
Yes — same math. Swap the “room rate” for the nightly rental and use the host’s pet fee (often flat). Still confirm cleaning rules and max pets in the listing.
