4. Check with the local Chamber of Commerce or tourist welcome center to help find a pet friendly hotel. You can also get information about the area that you'll be visiting and local attractions and events.
5. Call ahead to the hotel that you are interested in staying at. Ask about their pet policy and note any requirements that they have such as deposits, fees or breed restrictions.
6. Book a room in a pet friendly hotel in Georgia that allows pets and is in the location that you wish to visit.

Tips & Warnings

• Make note of any restrictions that the hotel has on leaving your pet in the room. Some hotels do not allow pets to be left alone, while others may allow a few hours. Be sure to confine your pet in a crate, carrier or in the bathroom in case a hotel official needs to enter the room. That way your pet can't run out when the door is opened.
