Can you rent an apartment or hotel in Ho Chi Minh City with a pet (dog/cat)?

In response to the question about pet-friendly housing, locals confirm it's not a problem, especially for smaller pets.

On Booking.com you can enable the 'traveling with a pet' filter to see all available options for your dates. The listing usually specifies whether you need to notify in advance and if there's an extra pet fee.

After booking, it's best to message the host separately to specify what kind of pet you have and wait for confirmation. Choose a room with free cancellation and pay-on-arrival option in case the host declines.

The simplest approach is messaging property owners directly, stating upfront that you need pet-friendly housing and attaching a photo of your pet — suitable options are usually found quickly.
