Yeah, under additional services you can check the box.

I don't think bringing a pet would impact your chances either way.
Check the hotel's specific websites for their pet policies. If allowed, most have a $50-$250 fee for cleaning.
90% of my 700 lifetime nights are in Hilton properties in the southeast. If you can share your route, I may be able to make some recommendations.
Thanks! Yeah, cleaning fees for the ones I've looked at are mostly $50 or $75, the Roosevelt in New Orleans is $175.
For the route, coming from Colorado, we're going to head towards Big Bend, then over through Hill Country, New Orleans, Biloxi, Mobile, then up to Tennessee, back through Arkansas and Oklahoma on the way back. The details of the front half are more fleshed out than the latter half. Any suggestions are welcomed (hotel or just activities, recognizing some may not be feasible still).

Yeah, we'll only select hotels where the amenities state pets are welcomed and we'll note it on our reservation, too.
