Every one of them has clear rules before you book: which dogs are allowed, whether prior notice is required, and what the pet charge covers. There are no surprises at check-in.
The range is wide. Jharipani Castle (7 km from Mall Road) is a heritage 1932 property with panoramic Doon Valley views — it welcomes pets with prior permission and a fee based on breed and duration. La Villa Bethany in Landour is a century-old English cottage where dogs of any size stay free, and the property's own three dogs — Perdi, Pongo, and Pepper — will greet yours at the door. goSTOPS Mussoorie Picture Palace on Big Bend is the budget-friendly option, a social hostel that accepts dogs and cats in private rooms for INR 500 per pet per day.
