I am currently in Quito and am anxiously awaiting to fly into Cuenca with my service dog and best friend, Jake....I've seen a few places, but less than a handful...I want a place that will be a temporary "permanent" home for us until we are settled.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thank you in  advance!

Hi, we stayed for a month with our dog at Marcela's place....very basic but clean.....she is a lovely lady.
Right in the old city, paid $400 for the month....

Or go to Pet Friendly Ecuador iLoveDogs.com
or dog friendly on Facebook  facebook.com/wetnoseswelcome?hc_location=stream

Hotels are pretty fussy on dogs....

Jineson,
Is there any chance you could provide more info about Marcella's place in Cuenca (contact info, etc.)? The link for hotels includes, I'm sorry to see, many listed hotels which say "no pets accepted." Would love to know a listing of accommodations that would accept dogs (and cats!) - in Cuenca and elsewhere. Such important information for those of us who can't leave our pets behind when we travel! Thanks in advance for any helpful websites/resources.

I am so sorry, I misread.....Marcella's place is in Quito.

but did you look on those links I sent you?   They are all pet friendly.....
You could also post on GringoPost to get feedback.....
We lucked into an apartment here but only for 6 months, so we'll be looking soon too for other pet friendly accommodations......there seem to be a lot.
It may be wise to look up recommended agents on GringoPost and then get a few of them working for you...the owner pays the fee, as far as I know.

Hi Janet!

I wasn't sure if you meant Quito or Cuenca either, but I soon figured it out.  Thank you so much for responding with the valuable information however.  I found that some of the sites like GringoAbroad and some of the FB apps. listed hotels that were NOT dog friendly.  I probably went through at least 5 phone calls until I found one for just Quito for a few nights until we can find a place in Cuenca.  Thank you again!

Hi Luckydawg,

I'm not seeing the link to your pet friendly guesthouse. Could you please enter it (again) and/or telling us more about it. We pet lovers sure appreciate these options being there for us and our furry friends!

Contact Dan at danoinec@gmail.com.  I'm pretty sure he can set you up.  He is also a wealth of information about Cuenca.

Tell him we recommended him to you.  He currently has five short-term leases.

Good luck in your transition.

Hello,
   When I moved to Cuenca, I stayed 4 days at Hotel Rio Piedra with my cockapoo, Lukas.  Here is the website:
www.hotel riopiedra . net.  If you would like to call me when you arrive, I might have a handle on a better place.
My number is 096-888-8512.  If you prefer to email.  It's snewz@mac.com

Kindest regards,
