About Travel Spot
We started Travel Spot because we couldn't leave our dog behind — and we suspect you feel the same way.
Our Story
It Started with One Road Trip
In 2020, we packed our Australian Shepperd, Gracie, into our truck and headed to Banff, Canada for a week long adventure with our pup. We expected some troubles. What we got was the best trip of our lives.
But planning it was a bit tough. Hotels were updating pet policies to encourage travel but many places were still not pet friendly. Hiking trail guides didn't mention leash rules. Restaraunts were hit or miss. We ended up having to leave her at daycare a few times as she was not able to come with us on certain days.
So we built the resource to help others in the future. Travel Spot is where all that knowledge lives — updated regularly, tested personally, and written for real dog owners who refuse to leave their best friend at home.
