Can I Home Swap with My Pet?

Our dog, Mousey, has been to more countries than most of my fellow countrymen. And that's because we don't book hotels. We swap homes.

We swap with people who also have pets and want them to stay in our home, or simply with people who love animals and don't mind having a dog in theirs.

Mousey gets cozy places to curl up, gardens to run around in, and all the comforts of a real home. Meanwhile, we get fully equipped kitchens, dedicated workspaces, and a place that actually feels like living there.

And perhaps best of all, we're not paying €180 a night just so she can sleep on a hotel floor.

So if you've been telling yourself that you can't travel or home swap because you have a dog, that doesn't have to be the case.

One of our biggest tips is to add your dog as a travel companion on your Swaphouse profile and use the Pet-friendly filter to find homes that welcome pets.

Traveling with your dog is absolutely possible, and home swapping can make it easier, more comfortable, and a lot more affordable for everyone involved.

👉 Find pet-friendly homes and start planning your next swap on Swaphouse.io.
