Terms of use

Plain-language terms for using Paw Stops. By planning a trip here, you agree to them.

What the service is

Paw Stops is a free trip-planning tool. It suggests routes, overnight stops, pet-friendly hotels and points of interest. It is a planning aid, not a booking service, a navigation system, or a source of veterinary or safety advice.

Accuracy and third-party information

Routes, places, hotel details, pet policies and weather come from third parties including OpenStreetMap, Google Places and the U.S. National Weather Service. We present that information as we receive it and cannot guarantee it is current, complete or correct.

  • Confirm pet policies, fees and size limits directly with a property before relying on them.
  • Treat drive times and arrival estimates as estimates. They do not model traffic, weather, construction or your own stops.
  • Heat and weather indicators are general guidance, not veterinary advice. You are responsible for your animal's welfare.
  • Follow road signs and local law over anything shown here.

Affiliate links

Hotel booking links are affiliate links. If you book after following one we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This never affects which hotels are shown or the order they appear in; ranking uses only the brand, star and rating preferences you set.

Acceptable use

  • Don't use the service in a way that breaks the law or infringes anyone's rights.
  • Don't scrape, overload or automate against the service or the free upstream providers it depends on. Doing so risks access for everyone.
  • Don't misrepresent trips generated here as endorsed by, or verified by, the businesses they mention.
  • Trip links are unguessable but public to anyone holding them. Share them only with people you trust.

No warranty and limits of liability

The service is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of it, including decisions made on the basis of routes, stops, hotels, pet policies or weather shown here.

Changes and contact

These terms may change as the service does; the current version always lives at this page. Questions: [email protected].
