The pandemic has simply forced us to get more creative about where we go and how we get there. In fact, it might be the perfect time to include our pets in our adventures. Planning travel with pets is now a breeze, thanks to modern apps and sites such as BringFido, Petswelcome, GoPetFriendly and Dogfriendly.com, among others. Each offers insight into accommodations, restaurants, events and pet-specific services we might find on the road or at our final destination. Allow the apps to find your current location, and you’ll see all the gems that make bring- ing pets along a blast. If you’re the kind of traveler who likes to plan in advance, these sites allow you to plan a full itinerary, including a hotel where pets are welcome, pet-friendly pit stops, dog-friendly beaches, local pet spas and more. If driving your own vehicle doesn’t sound appealing, RVshare.com might be just what you’re looking for. Vaca- tioning in an RV is bound to be the trip of a lifetime for four-legged travelers. RVshare lets you search for specific pick-up locations, price ranges, desired amenities and whether or not pets are allowed. Think of all the meals shared with your pup at your feet while someone brave enough to do the driving takes on the open road. Your furry family member will be thrilled to travel in utmost comfort, in a living room on wheels. Those wanting to maintain social distance while away can turn to Airbnb, VRBO, Homeaway.com and similar sites By Isabel Alvarez Arata A TRUE FAMILY VACATION INCORPORATING PETS INTO TRAVEL PLANS Photo courtesy of Jeanne Taylor Photography
