GoPetFriendly - About Us

We created GoPetFriendly.com to make it easy for our users to enjoy extraordinary travel experiences with their pets. We believe it should be simple to include our pets in all of our leisure activities. However, we found this was not always the case when we were traveling. It was becoming quite a hassle to find places to stay that were acceptable to us, and had pet policies that met our needs. Finding restaurants that would allow our pals to join us and activities the whole “pack” could enjoy together was another challenge. Rather than give up on the idea of “family” vacations, we chose to develop a resource that takes planning a trip with your pet to the next level.

At GoPetFriendly.com you have up-to-date pet policies for nearly 30,000 hotels and campgrounds in the US and Canada, and we’ve given you the ability to search for accommodations that suit you, whether you are traveling with multiple pets, need accommodations that accept cats, or are looking for hotels that welcome large dogs. Once you’ve selected a hotel, we help you find the best deal by searching the leading reservation sites, including Travelocity, Orbitz, Expedia and Hotels.com. And, when you arrive at your destination, getting out will be fun for everyone when you use our directory of thousands of pet-friendly activities, attractions, restaurants, and service providers. Deciding where to stay and what to do is easy when you rely on the ratings and comments of other users. We’ve even made planning a driving vacation a breeze with our Roadtrip Planner. And, when you get home, let others know how much fun you had by uploading your photos and videos, posting your ratings and comments, and writing an entry on the GoPetFriendly community forum.

Our goal is to connect people who love their pets with businesses that will make their travel experiences exceptional. We hope that by making it easy for people to travel with their pets, we become a visible and desirable market niche, and encourage more businesses to “GoPetFriendly.”
