Find Pet Friendly Hurricane Evacuation Rentals

Question: How do I find pet friendly hurricane evacuation rentals quickly?

Answer: See below, with best wishes from all of us during your emergency.

When a hurricane evacuation notice goes out, many people look down at their two pet dogs and instantly panic. Finding a motel room during a hurricane evacuation is hard to do in some areas. Add a pet, and finding a temporary roof can be next to impossible unless you learn a few tricks.

The best pet friendly hurricane evacuation rentals are houses, not motel rooms.

Privately owned, fully furnished houses are rented out to people by the day, week, or month as vacation rentals in all parts of the country. These make wonderful hurricane evacuation rentals for people who don’t mind nice accommodations while an emergency is in progress. Many have locking garages, and a fenced yard for the pets to enjoy.

It is not necessary to be rich to enjoy renting a vacation house. In fact, many of these vacation rentals that are located in nice neighborhoods will rent for less than the area motels will charge. When a few friends rent a house together, the costs per head can be cheaper per day than going to the movies.

Vacation planning services like ArrangeYourVacation.com have places on their Web sites that allow private owners to advertise their fully furnished homes for rent by the day, week, or month to travelers. The ads will have complete descriptions of everything that you get in the house, pictures, and contact information to reach the owner with.

How to bring a pet into a hurricane evacuation rentals NICE vacation home:

Understand that if you are in the middle of an emergency, and choose to secure vacation lodging as a way to stay with your pets, that you are beating the system. These private rental homes will expect that animals are well behaved, and that they will naturally be traveling with shot records, recent flea bath receipts, a kennel, leashes, bowls, and food. In other words, they expect pampered vacationing pets and not refugees.

In most situations, renters will be able to explain their situations directly to an owner or agent for the owner while making their reservations. Stop at a Wal-Mart if you must on the way to make sure that some kind of a kennel, collar, and leash is showing for your animals at the check-in time. If shot records were misplaced in the hurricane evacuation rush, offer to call your vet to see if a copy of the papers can be faxed.

An animal can sense your feelings. When an animal knows that the family is upset over something like a hurricane evacuation, it will be insecure. Plan to put the pet into its kennel every time that a door is closed between yourself and the animal. This will protect the house, the animal, and you from incurring unwanted damage fees. If there is a fenced yard for the pet to walk in, make sure that the fence is escape proof before turning your animal loose.

If the hurricane evacuation results in a position that there are no more vacation houses for rent in the right area that will allow a pet, start contacting those that do not allow pets and offer to keep the pet outside or in the garage. Some vacation property owners may be sympathetic toward your position during well advertised emergencies. This is part of the luxury of speaking directly to the property owners or their agents with private vacation home rentals.

Please also remember to keep your pet, and the carrier both marked with their name and emergency contact information at all times during your stay in a hurricane evacuation vacation rentals home. This will ensure that the animal will not be destroyed by a pound as unwanted if you become separated.
