Hello! I've been ms'ing for about 7 months now part-time, and have yet to work up the courage for a hotel shop. DH and I have two tiny dogs, and we'd like to go on a mystery shopping road trip weekend with them in the fall. I've seen postings for shops of hotel chains where I know pets are allowed, and have also seen emails from schedulers stating pets are okay on certain assignments.
Our guys are small and well-behaved, and have stayed in hotels with us before, so this would not be out of the ordinary for them. They can be barky though, when people enter our space, so I am worried they would be loud if we needed someone to come into the room to fix something (burned out lightbulb, broken remote, whatever).
I am hesitant to sign us up for a hotel shopping assignment without hearing if anyone else has taken their pet(s) with them. If you have, how did it go? If there was an additional pet fee, was it reimbursed to you or did you pay it out of pocket? Did you mention that you brought your pet(s) in your reports? Did you notify the scheduler you would be bringing them? Did you mention your pet(s) when making the reservation?
Thank you!
