As a pet parent, we have been postponing our vacation and holidays meant staying at home indoors with our Labrador.  The immediate thought of leaving her in the mercy of friends  switches off our plans and it is only if it is unavoidable we go out of the city leaving her with our friend to take care of her in our absence at our home because she does not like to be away in another place without us.  It is not an easy task to find someone to take care of her in our absence with the same love and attention we give her.  Now it is good news for pet parents like us, we can take our pet along with us for the vacation.  Thanks to CollarFolk, an innovative idea by a pet parent Rukmini Vaish.

We could not move on  without appreciating the cute logo of CollarFolk (wagging tail) which speaks volume about their love for pets.

Now we can have a Pet Friendly Vacation to places across India and this facility is currently operational for pet parents in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Chennai at the moment. Properties partnered by CollarFolk are hand-picked that welcome pets aboard. They individually meet and verify the properties to make a database of resorts, hotels and home stays that are genuinely pet-friendly.

CollarFolk checks out properties for management and staff’s pet friendliness, open space in property, availability of pet food, vet on call, add on services for pet families such as availability of a pet sitter, access to common areas for the pet, Pet Friendly pool to carpeting or carpet free rooms. They also integrate travel, by providing pet friendly transportation for the holiday.  These factors are declared in the property‘s pet policy section.  The best part is we need not pay premium charges to find a pet friendly vacation.

CollarFolk does everything for us. All we have to do is specify the location we are in and search for the properties by specifying distance or location.  We specified 500 kms and were surprised at the list of properties we got from Chennai. We got properties from places such as Pondicherry, Ooty, Yelagiri, Wayanad, Bangalore, Kodaikanal, Belur and Mudigere.

We are all set to take our first pet friendly vacation to Pondy.  Quite excited about this and we will surely share our experience after the trip.
