CheckIn has launched a new global pet-friendly program at all SUNDAY Hotels, allowing guests to travel with their pets at no additional cost. The initiative caters to the rising trend of travellers treating pets as integral family members, offering thoughtfully designed hospitality experiences for guests and their four-legged companions.

As part of the program, SUNDAY Hotels feature trained on-property teams, pet welcome kits including food and water bowls, waste bags, and toys at select hotels. The hotels also provide pet-friendly zones and curated recommendations for nearby services such as walkers, groomers, and vets.

CheckIn is collaborating with pet care brands and animal welfare organisations to enhance guest experiences. Planned initiatives include pet meetups in hotel lobbies, co-branded treats, and adoption drives across properties. Pilot programs in select locations have already shown higher repeat bookings and longer stays among guests travelling with pets.

Speaking on the launch, Varun Jain, COO, PRISM Asia, said, “Our global pet stay program is designed with clear safety and cleanliness standards, drawing on best practices from other group companies like G6 Hospitality in the USA. Guests can expect a consistent, high-quality experience for themselves and their pets wherever they travel.”

The move aligns with rapid growth in the pet care sector. In India alone, the pet care market was valued at INR 7,577 crore in 2024 and is expected to exceed INR 22,000 crore by 2031 (Blue Weave Consulting).

Pankaj Poddar, Group CEO, Cosmo First Limited, added, “Pets are part of modern families, and travel preferences are evolving. By combining Zigly’s expertise in pet wellbeing with CheckIn’s commitment to guest-first hospitality, we are creating a global benchmark for pet-friendly stays that ensures comfort, care, and convenience at every step.”

The introduction of free pet-friendly stays reinforces SUNDAY Hotels’ commitment to inclusive, experience-driven hospitality for travellers worldwide.
