After years of travel writing I know how much it means to bring your pet along for the ride. If you’ve ever hesitated to leave them behind, I completely get it. That’s why I always look for pet-friendly vacations that offer warm welcomes, scenic adventures, and tail-wagging fun for both of you. You deserve a getaway that doesn’t leave anyone out.
Highlights:
- I’ve found amazing beachfront rentals and dog-friendly resorts along the Oregon and Florida coasts—your dog will love the sand as much as you do.
- When you head to the mountains, I recommend retreats in Colorado and North Carolina where trails start right outside your door—I’ve hiked them myself with my furry sidekick.
- Urban adventures can be just as fun—think Austin, Portland, or Asheville, where pet-welcoming hotels make you both feel at home.
- I always check which national and state parks allow pets on trails and in campgrounds—you’ll be surprised how many invite you both to explore.
- Planning a road trip? I’ve mapped out destinations with outdoor dining, dog parks, and even pet spas—because you and your dog deserve a little pampering too.
