Good news! There’s a brand-new filter — **available on the website only for now** — that lets you **select all the living beings traveling with you** , including your furry friends.

**Once you turn on this filter** , your search will show **only homes that welcome pets**. Super handy for planning stress-free trips with your animals!

Just a reminder: as always, it’s still important to talk about it directly with your potential host to make sure everyone’s on the same page.

##### **Time to Update Your Listing?**

This might be the perfect moment to check that your listing is up to date and that you’ve clearly indicated whether you **do or don’t** accept pets ![🙂](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/homeexchange/original/2X/7/78934749d36fbb315988692f8e1a5da78796d744.png)

More updates coming soon — stay tuned!

Hello Vanessa

I don’t understand the feature cat/dog to take for.  
Is it really used?

It would be understandable for people who contact members to come to there home.  
I am not sure it is used when you search for un home.

It is a new feature - so that members who, for example want to take their dog with them on holiday - can search for homes which allow this 🙂

I got the point.  
I was talking about cat / dog to care for below on the picture.  
I am not sure these are popular or useful search criteria.

Actually some people do search for places with pets to care for and some would exclude places with pets. I think the problem is Pets don’t always come with you so marking the house as a pet to care for and they might be having the pet stay elsewhere.

Thanks for the answer [cafrobose](https://forum.homeexchange.com/t/new-feature-easier-searches-when-traveling-with-your-pets-web-only/17516/5).

I knew some people look for places without pets (ex : allergy) but this feature does not exist as far as i know.  
I did not know the some people were looking for places with pets and that this feature is much used.
