Best Vacations That Are Dog Friendly – There’s something about January that makes me want to sit down with the calendar and plan more trips for the coming year. It’s so cold and dark outside, curling up on the laptop and planning some errands is satisfying.
Even though we’ve taken a break from our big international travels during this pandemic, we’re still enjoying getting to know the Seattle area and our Seattle weekends. After spending ten years away from New York and Chicago, it was great to come back and catch up on old favorites, as well as see all the new glampsites, boutique hotels, and unique Airbnbs that have popped up here. And most of all I loved seeing how many of them adopted dog-friendly solutions in their living space. I would be very happy if we could come with Dave and Lizzie on our holidays.

You can also choose to pay more to have one of their fruit pies delivered to your place or their eggs from the farm for a delicious pick-me-up. Read more about Tentrr’s child policies here.
