About Petalvora

Petalvora was founded by a small team of Switzerland-based travellers who kept running into the same frustration: finding reliable, specific information about travelling with pets was far harder than it should be. Generic travel sites either ignored pets entirely or offered a brief disclaimer that a hotel was 'pet-friendly' with no further detail. We built Petalvora to fix that gap. Our team has personally visited the regions we cover, travelling with dogs of different sizes and temperaments to understand what actually works on the ground. We do not rely solely on hotel descriptions — we contact properties directly, visit train stations, speak with local tourism offices, and walk the trails ourselves. Our content is updated at least twice a year to reflect changes in cantonal regulations, transport operator policies, and new accommodation options. We believe that responsible pet travel and genuine respect for Swiss natural environments go hand in hand. That is why our guides always include notes on wildlife sensitivity zones, leash requirements in protected areas, and waste disposal etiquette on mountain trails. Petalvora is independent and does not accept payment for placement in our listings — every recommendation is based solely on quality and suitability for travelling pets and their owners. We are based in Switzerland and write about a country we know well and care about deeply.
