How we choose pet-friendly homes
We select pet-friendly vacation homes primarily based on practical considerations, especially whether the yard and fencing are suitable for the visiting animal. A listing being pet-friendly does not mean pets regularly stay there.
Since Aruba is an island and pets must travel by air to visit, guests bringing animals are relatively uncommon. In our experience, those that do travel with pets often bring smaller companion animals. However, animal size, coat type and individual needs vary, so please let us know about your pet before booking.
Cleanliness and allergies
Our homes are professionally cleaned and thoroughly prepared between guest stays, including homes that occasionally accommodate pets. We take cleanliness seriously and do not consider a pet-friendly designation an indication that a home is less clean or comfortable.
However, no vacation rental can be guaranteed completely free of animal hair, dander or allergens. If you have a severe animal allergy, please contact us before booking so we can discuss the most suitable options.
Please tell us about your pet in advance
When enquiring, please share the type of animal, approximate size, and any special needs. We will review the home's yard, gates, fencing and property-specific rules to help determine whether it is a safe fit. Please do not assume every home accepts pets without confirmation.
Guests traveling with a trained service animal should contact us so that we can make appropriate arrangements consistent with applicable accessibility requirements and booking-platform policies. Assistance animals are handled separately from ordinary pet requests where required.
Bringing your pet into Aruba: official requirements
Aruba requires advance permission from its Veterinary Service to import live animals. For dogs and cats, travelers generally need a recent veterinary health certificate, identification information and valid rabies documentation; exact requirements differ by origin and circumstances. Import restrictions apply to certain countries, including much of South and Central America. Check the official guidance and obtain approval before flying.
