In keeping with our eco-friendly Destination Earth…Destination Driskill program, we encourage our guests to be respectful of the environment by scooping your pet’s waste. We provide you with bags, made from recycled plastic, and have poop scoops available for your use.
Please note the following pet guidelines. Upon checking in, we require that you sign our pet agreement.
- A $50 non-refundable fee, per pet, is charged for all “Pet Guests.”
- Domesticated dogs (non-aggressive breeds) and cats only.
- The maximum pet weight allowed is 35 pounds.
- At the time of check in, please provide evidence of bordotella and rabies vaccinations within the past 12 months. In addition, we request your pet’s name, weight and breed for identification purposes during the reservation process.
- Pets may not be left alone in the guest room at any time. Please contact our Concierge (512-391-7013) in advance if you need assistance in scheduling pet sitting services.
