Meet Our Pet Guests: How Pets Make Extended Stays Feel Like Home

At YourSpace Hotels Chesapeake, we know that home isn’t complete without the ones who wag, chase, or curl up beside you. That’s why our hotel was designed with pets in mind—because when you’re traveling for work, relocating, or rebuilding after life’s unexpected turns, your four-legged companions deserve comfort too.

Our guests tell us all the time that bringing their pets along is what truly makes their stay feel like home. Here are a few of our favorite ways our furry residents make life at YourSpace special.

Morning Motivation: Walks With a Purpose

Each morning, the hotel comes alive with the sound of paws. Guests and pets head out for early walks to nearby Oak Grove Lake Park or Elizabeth River Park, both just minutes away.

For construction crews or professionals starting early shifts, those walks are more than exercise—they’re grounding moments that set the tone for the day.

We’ve seen everything from high-energy shepherds bounding toward the park to senior dogs taking slow, thoughtful strolls around the property. It’s a community within a community, and it all starts before breakfast.

Pets That Keep Us Connected

Extended stays can sometimes feel isolating, especially for guests away from family. Pets change that instantly. They greet you at the door, remind you to play, and make long workdays feel lighter.

For our staff, pets are part of the YourSpace family too—there’s nothing like a friendly tail wag or a curious nose in the lobby to brighten the day.

Whether it’s a travel nurse decompressing after a 12-hour shift or a relocating family settling in, dogs bring warmth, laughter, and a sense of belonging that no amenity can replace.

Real Stories, Real Comfort

• Milo the Golden Retriever stayed with his owner, a project engineer, while working on a long-term job in Suffolk. Every evening, they ended the day grilling outside together at our outdoor patio area—his favorite spot to watch the sunset and sneak a treat or two.
• Rocky the Rescue, traveling with a healthcare professional, quickly became part of the YourSpace community. His calm nature made him a favorite among staff, and his daily walks through the lobby brought smiles to everyone he passed.
• Duke the German Shepherd, part of a relocating family, quickly claimed his favorite corner of the suite and loved exploring nearby trails. His family said his presence helped the kids adjust faster—proof that pets make even temporary housing feel like home.
• Bailey the Beagle, a contractor’s loyal companion, enjoyed watching the morning hustle from the window before heading out to job sites. After work, she’d rest contentedly at her owner’s feet as they caught up on calls or dinner in their suite.

Each story reminds us why we welcome pets with open arms—they bring comfort, connection, and joy to every extended stay.

Where Every Guest Feels at Home

At YourSpace Hotels Chesapeake, we believe extended stays should bring people and pets closer together. Whether you’re here for work, relocation, or recovery, your dog can be right by your side through it all.

Home isn’t a place—it’s a feeling. And for our guests, that feeling often comes with a wagging tail.
