Taking Pets on the Road

[tia travels]

You might have to worry about being recognized. When I took my cat with me in the past, I had an incident where an employee at one hotel in TX, recognized me or rather perhaps he remembered my lovely pussy(cat) in AR months (maybe a year-ish later) at another totally different hotel brand. He had moved and changed jobs, but remembered me and my cat. I was totally impressed with his memory but also kind of freaked out that he could recall. Makes me wonder how many OTHERS remembered me but just didn't say anything.

In other words, having a pet might make you stand out more with hotel personnel. So keep that in mind if you travel on a frequent basis with your animal.

I bring my fur kid with me when I tour but, I'm usually on the road for 2-3 months at a time. 90% of clients don't even know I have him with me until they see his crate in the bathroom. He's been on the road with me since he was 10 weeks old so he knows the routine and doesn't make a peep. Bringing a cat I really don't know, a lot of people are allergic and a shit box isn't exactly sexy but, getting a hotel with 2 bedrooms or 2 separate hotel rooms is a great idea.

If your pet hasn't traveled much, I would suggest starting out with simple trips to the store, then maybe an hour or 2 drive staying at a hotel for the night just to see how he/she will behave.

Some cats don't travel well at all. Some do better in crates. You might want to try a short road trip with your cat just to see if it's possible. Also a vet can give you cat xanax. Which could work real good or make your cat sick. Nothing worse than a sick cat throwing up in the back seat.

About a year ago on flight to Chicago the lady seating next to me pulls a long haired white cat from under the seat. She had a little cat carrier. I didn't even know you could do that! I had cat hair all over me. Too bad the windows didn't open.

Leave your damned cats at home. We're paying for pussy, not a cat allergy attack. Thought you girls were supposed to be high class!!

Aww... I take my pooch on the road with me she is 11yrs old & 12lbs. She gets really stressed if I leave her for even a couple hrs. I have a carrier she goes in, when I have visitors. I have never had a issue or a guy complain.

Sorry Liz! I hate cats and would walk w/o paying if a lady showed up with one of them.

[quote=jimny;1862893]I know a lady who often travels with her pets (2 dogs). When she has them with her she will do one of a few things.

She gets a suite with two bedrooms, and puts the dogs in the second bedroom when entertaining.

She gets two room one she will stay in with the dogs when not entertaining. The other is for entertaining.


That's exactly how I do it.lol.. OR while in a city where family is I just drop them off for a few hours during the day. Just be sure to check on hotels.com or other sites first, Alot of hotels do not allow cats but do require a pet fee for dogs. I am on tour and haven't come across any problems yet.Good luck hun

Just for the record now, I have no cats and travel with no pets.

I plan on doing some traveling this winter, thanks for this post!
( gives me a chance to brag of my pride n joy) lol.


I often link up w/ another reputable provider in the area I'm traveling to,
and chances are my lil one is welcome. This saves me the hassle of finding
a hotel and enough room for her and us to have our own private space.

Thanks!
