Frequently Asked Questions
Do Dubrovnik hotels accept dogs?
An increasing number do, particularly smaller boutique hotels and apartment rentals in Lapad and Gruž. Confirm directly when booking. Many require advance notice and may have size or breed restrictions.
Should I bring my dog to Dubrovnik in summer?
Only with very careful planning. Summer (July–August) temperatures reach 38–40°C, genuinely dangerous for dogs. If you're visiting in summer, ensure you have air-conditioned accommodation, plan all outdoor activity for before 08:30 and after 19:30, and have a pet-sitter with air-conditioning available for midday rest. Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–October) are strongly recommended alternatives.
Can I find a pet-sitter in Dubrovnik?
Yes. Rover.com operates in Dubrovnik. Your accommodation host is also a good source of local recommendations. Book well in advance in peak summer season when demand is high.
