The furnished apartment we rented in Rochester allowed pets. I can’t say enough about how kind and helpful the manager and maintenance guy were. TheParkRochester.com
Good luck to you on your health journey.
Hi Sally, here are some links for information about lodging. I will put this out here…you will need to speak to your BMT coordinator about pets and visitors. You’ll be in a very vulnerable condition for infection. Unless protocols have changed, being around pets and family members was discouraged. That also meant no hugging or gifts of flowers, plants or anything that could potentially cause exposure to bacteria, viruses or mold/fungi.
There will be educational classes that can help you avoid infections from food or illnesses from exposure.
This might be a helpful guide to get you started. You’ll be having an allogenic SCT. So scroll til you find that info. There are sections for infection control, caregiver info, etc.

Golden’s are the best, aren’t they? We had several over our lifetime and each one had such a unique personality and just precious dogs.
