If you've been searching 'pet friendly transient house Baguio Camp 7' late at night, I already know the feeling behind it. You don't want to leave your dog at home. You don't want to pay for boarding and feel guilty the whole trip. And every other place you message says the same thing: no pets allowed. I run Vos Villa, a whole private house in Camp 7, Baguio, and I want to give you an honest answer to all of it.
Yes, we're pet-friendly. Dogs, cats, everything. And not in the half-hearted way some places say it. We can actually welcome your pet because of one thing most transient houses don't have: space.
Why most Baguio transients say 'no pets' (and we don't)
Here's the real reason, and nobody explains it to you. Most transient houses and hotels are only renting you a room. A room is no place for a pet. There's nowhere for the dog to go, nothing to tie them to, no way to keep them from scratching the door or bolting the second someone walks in. So the easy answer for those places is just 'no.' I don't blame them.
What a pet really needs is a big private space — somewhere they can be outside, somewhere fully enclosed so they can't wander off. That's exactly what we have. We have a garden, we have a parking area, we have grass and concrete and room to move. So at our place, your pet is welcome outside the house, in a space that was actually made for it.
Hotels are renting you a room. We're renting you a whole house with a private gated garden. That's the difference for a pet owner — and it's the whole reason we can say yes.
The garden: where your pet actually stays
This is the part that matters most, so let me describe it the way I'd describe it to you on the phone. It's a private, gated place. Your pet can run around inside the compound and stay completely safe, because the gate means they can't get out into the road or wander off the property. There's grass, there's concrete, and there's a garden. And of course, this being Camp 7 in Baguio, the air is cool and fresh, which honestly makes dogs more comfortable than the heat down in the lowlands.
I remember a group last December who brought their dogs. The thing they were most worried about — the thing every pet owner worries about — was the dog getting loose somewhere unfamiliar. I told them what I'll tell you: it's a big gated place, you can let the dogs stay outside the house, and they're not going anywhere. They relaxed the moment they saw it. That's what a fenced-in space does for your peace of mind.

Walking your dog around Camp 7 and Baguio
A fair question once you're settled in: where can I actually take my dog? Camp 7 itself is the calm home base — quieter than the chaos downtown, which is part of why people like staying up here in the first place. For the well-known spots, you'll want a car. From Camp 7 you drive to SM, Session Road, and Burnham.
If you have a car, you can bring your dog along and stroll. At Session Road and Burnham Park you can walk your dog as long as you follow the posted instructions and keep them on a leash. SM is stricter — there's security and they're more particular about pets — so I'd plan around that one. Honestly, having the car and the parking is what makes the pet trip easy, which is the same reason our guests value the [parking for 3 cars](https://www.vosvilla.com/blog/baguio-transient-parking-3-cars) inside the compound.
The cold-night tip nobody warns you about
This is the one piece of advice I give every guest bringing a pet, and most first-timers don't think about it: Baguio gets genuinely cold at night, especially up here in Camp 7. Your dog feels that cold the same way you do.
So prepare for it. Bring a cage or a covered spot, and bring warm bedding — a blanket, a thick mat, something that keeps the cold off them through the night. It's a small thing to pack, but it's the difference between your pet sleeping comfortably and your pet shivering at 3am. Don't let the cold catch you off guard.
What to bring for your pet
From hosting pets here, the most common guest is someone with a small dog. So many Shih Tzus. If that's you, you already know the routine, but here's what I'd make sure you pack so the stay goes smoothly and we can keep the place clean for the next family:
- A cage or crate, plus warm bedding for the cold nights
- A leash or a tie-out rope for the garden and for walks
- Food and bowls — bring their usual food so their stomach stays happy
- Pee pads, poop bags, and anything for their hygiene
- A small bed or mat, and maybe a familiar toy
All I ask in return is that you come prepared and help keep things clean — yes, even though the pet space is outside in the garden. Pet hygiene matters as much outdoors as it would indoors. Clean up after them, and we're good. That's the whole deal.
The pet fee and how booking works
Let me be straight with the numbers so there are no surprises. The house rate covers up to 10 people: ₱5,500 on weekdays and ₱6,500 on weekends. For a pet, it's an additional ₱150 per pet. That's it.
- Weekday: ₱5,500 for up to 10 guests
- Weekend: ₱6,500 for up to 10 guests
- Pets: +₱150 per pet
- A 30% down payment via GCash or BPI secures your date

Why I welcome pets when so many places won't
Honestly? Because I'm a pet lover myself. I have a pet here too. I know what it feels like to plan a trip and then realize you'd have to leave your dog behind, and I don't think a vacation should cost you that. I want tourists to come up to Baguio and actually enjoy it with their pet, not feel like they had to choose between the trip and their fur family. That's the whole reason our door is open to them.
