HOW friendly are the Airbnbs that allow pets? Even though the Airbnb may allow your dog to join you, how favorable is the place for dogs?
Oftentimes when searching the Airbnb website, it is hard to tell just how convenient and safe the lodging is for dogs.
Does it have a patio or open space for the dog? What about a green space or park close by? How pet friendly is the neighborhood? How safe it is to walk the dog?
Over the past two years, we have been driving throughout Mexico with our two dogs, Olivia and Sofia. We stayed in many Airbnbs that allowed pets – dog-friendly / pet-friendly Airbnb rentals.
That is why I decided to share with you our Airbnb experiences with our dogs and answer the question “just how pet friendly is this Airbnb?”.
Here are the Airbnb rentals we stayed, along with my pet-friendly ranking scores.

Pet-Friendly Ranking Scores
San Andres Cholula is in the state of Puebla. It is about a two-hour drive from Mexico City. It is home to the largest pyramid in the world. The downtown area of Cholula is not very pet friendly. That is why it is important to have lodging that is!
