Pets Can Stay is not an Internet based service; the Pets Can Stay websites complement our marketing and certification services and is designed as an online brochure for our customers. For example, when a traveller wishes to stay at a certified Pets Can Stay establishment, and completes our online Travel Services Accommodation Request form, our agents directly assist that traveller in selecting the most desirable property or destination based on the client's specifications. The online form is there to collect basic information allowing the customer service representative to select suitable properties and provide live customer service.
Pets Can Stay offers a wide array of resources and service enhancements, designed to meet the needs of pet-welcoming establishments and pet-toting travellers alike. We work closely with accommodation providers to enrich the travelling experience of their pet guests and to drive business to the door of the provider. Destination-based promotions and innovative marketing initiatives, developed via strategic partnerships with travel agencies and tourism organizations, provide registered establishments with effective means of targeting this rapidly growing market. Most importantly, the program is designed to put "heads in beds" by effective tourism-based promotions and by directly booking travellers into certified establishments through our Pets Can Stay Travel Services department.
A rapidly growing sector of the North American economy is known as the boomer generation. At present this demographic has the highest level of active disposable income. With their children now grown they are spending it on other things: their homes, travel and their pets. Another factor which impacts the travel industry is the shift in society towards a more active and healthy lifestyle; a lifestyle which includes the great outdoors and bringing along their best friend (i.e. their pet) This type of activity accounts for an increasing amount of domestic travel by North Americans.
An accommodation provider that is certified by Pets Can Stay (the only national certifying body of its kind in North America) immediately stands out in the crowd. To a pet-toting traveller you are recognized as offering certain guaranteed standard pet related amenities. There are no surprises for your guests upon arrival, in discovering just how you define your "pet-friendly" status.
The logo beside the name of your business (as shown in any of the marketing vehicles we use, on the door of your business, etc.) informs the traveller you have willingly adhered to certain guidelines and standards that will make their visit more comfortable, convenient and enjoyable. It also communicates to the world that you have gone to extra effort and expense to insure these guidelines are met. It is the one method of communicating to the traveller with a pet that you sincerely value their business.
Pets Can Stay works through various provincial and national vehicles to promote members and make their businesses known to this niche market. In addition, our Travel Services department directly books travellers into certified establishments. Travellers can call our toll-free number or complete an online travel request form to access our live Pets Can Stay Travel Services agents.
