PetsPyjamas was born out of a personal experience that co-founder Karen Hanton had while travelling with her dog Wilson. As a busy professional and entrepreneur, Karen frequently travelled for business and leisure, and she wanted her dog to accompany her on these trips.

However, she was faced with a challenge that many dog owners can relate to—finding suitable dog-friendly accommodation. The frustration of not being able to easily locate hotels that were welcoming to both her and her furry companion led her to realise there was a gap in the market. What was needed was a dedicated dog-friendly travel platform where pet owners could effortlessly find and book stays tailored to their needs, whether for business or leisure.

With this mission in mind, PetsPyjamas was launched to make travel easier for pet owners, providing a seamless experience for those who don’t want to leave their pets behind. The goal was to create a comprehensive travel site that not only offered a range of dog-friendly places to stay but also had a dedicated team of travel experts who could offer help and advice. PetsPyjamas filled a much-needed gap by curating an ever-expanding selection of bookable dog-friendly hotels, cottages, and rentals across the UK, with something to suit every breed and budget—from a luxurious country house for a relaxing weekend to a boutique hotel in the heart of London for a business trip.

Why PetsPyjamas is Essential for Business Travellers

For business travellers who own dogs, PetsPyjamas is an absolute game-changer. In today’s busy world, where work often takes professionals to different cities and towns, being able to take your dog along for the journey is increasingly important. More people now view their dogs as family members, and leaving them behind for a business trip can be both inconvenient and stressful. PetsPyjamas addresses this issue by offering a range of dog-friendly accommodation that caters specifically to the needs of business travellers.
