Finding and Reserving Pet-Friendly Hotels
Since the pandemic began in 2020, travelers are spending more vacation time domestically and less time traveling abroad. As a result, travelers are also choosing to take their pets with them on vacation. Unfortunately, this has cause strife for many travelers as not every hotel accepts pets.
