Plan pet lodging costs across a multi-stop trip

Add dated lodging quotes across a pet trip itinerary and separate nightly rates, pet fees, deposits, and taxes.

Build a lodging subtotal for a trip with more than one stop. Add each current written lodging quote with the dates it covers. The worksheet calculates nights from the dates and adds only the amounts you enter; it does not search for properties, check availability, or confirm that a property accepts your pet.

Enter each rate and fee as quoted for the stay or per night. For per-pet or other billing bases, calculate the confirmed booking total yourself before entry. Use one currency throughout.

Lodging stop 1
Lodging stop 2

2 lodging stops listed (maximum 8).

Enter dated lodging quotes to calculate entered itinerary costs.

Method and limits

For each stop, nights = checkout date minus check-in date. Entered lodging spending = nights × nightly room rate + nights × nightly pet fees + one-time pet fees + other confirmed charges and taxes. Refundable deposits are reported separately; cash required if all entered deposits are collected = entered spending + deposits. The trip total includes only the stays entered. Gaps between stays, meals, transport, and any blank fees are not included.

Check the current policy with each property for your exact dates, room, and pet. AVMA recommends asking whether pets are welcome and confirming any breed or size restrictions, paperwork, and features offered for the pet. This planner records your notes but does not verify lodging rules, availability, eligibility, quoted amounts, taxes, or deposit return conditions.

How it works

Add each lodging stop in date order. For each stop, enter check-in and check-out dates, the nightly room rate, pet fees, other confirmed charges and taxes, and any refundable deposit. Nights are calculated from the dates; blank fee fields count as zero.

Good to know

How are the lodging totals calculated?

For each stay, the planner multiplies the nightly room rate and nightly pet fees by nights, then adds one-time pet fees and other confirmed charges or taxes. Deposits are totaled separately.

Can I enter more than one property or stop?

Yes. Add dated quotes in itinerary order, up to eight stops. The planner rejects overlapping stays and reports only the dates and charges you entered; gaps between stays are not priced.

Does this confirm a property accepts my pet or that the quoted price is current?

No. The planner does not search for lodging or verify policies, availability, eligibility, taxes, fees, or deposit terms. Confirm the current written quote and your pet’s restrictions directly with each property.
