What pet-friendly actually means
"Pet-friendly" varies wildly. At one end: a hotel that allows pets in 5 specific rooms with a $200 cleaning fee + 25-pound limit. At the other: properties built around pets with dedicated dog beaches, pet menus, on-site groomers, and pet concierge service.
Zeniva curates the second category — actually pet-welcoming, not just pet-tolerating. We also handle the practical: airline weight/size limits, paperwork (rabies certs, health certificates), pet customs at international destinations, and ground transport that allows pets.
