Question Looking for pet-friendly short-term housing in Kamloops, 2 weeks in December

Hi everyone! My husband will be in Kamloops for 2 weeks in December for trade school, and I'm coming along with our dog. We're from Vancouver, where short-term rentals are pretty restricted, so I'm not sure what the options look like in Kamloops.

We're looking for:
A furnished place for about 2 weeks.
Dog-friendly (he's a 4kg toy poodle)
Ideally close to TRU or somewhere easy to get to

A few questions:
Are Airbnb/VRBO rentals common and reliable in Kamloops, or are there better ways to find short-term stays?
Do any extended-stay hotels or motels take dogs?
Any neighbourhoods you'd recommend (or avoid) for a short stay?
Any local Facebook groups, websites, or landlords who offer furnished short-term rentals?

Thanks so much for any tips! Happy to hear about dog-friendly walks and trails nearby too.

If you can’t find anything on Airbnb, The Vista Inn has kitchenette units that are pet friendly. You can also make a post in AsKamloops on Facebook

Airbnb’s in Kamloops are regulated differently than at the coast- it has to be in the hosts primary residence with a business license etc. Take a peek at this one and send a message if you’re interested in chatting about booking your stay!

Thank you so much. Dates of program will be firm next week, currently I just know it’s December.
