Pets Allowed
| *Sponsored Post* Having pets can sometimes make it difficult to plan a trip. What do you do with them while you're gone? Do you hire someone to walk and feed them, or do you board them with a kennel? Cats tend to be less of a worry--put out clean litter and a week's worth of kibble and water and get a neighbor to check in once in a while to make sure they haven't managed to somehow burn the house down while you're gone, and they'll be fine. Dogs, though, tend to need more maintenance, not to mention more company. I've always had portable dogs, so whenever feasible my favorite option has been to take them with me. Pet Friendly Hotels can be hard to come by, so I've got plenty of stories of sneaking my chihuahua into hotel rooms by hiding her in my purse. If your dog weighs more than five pounds, though, chances are you'll need to find a hotel that welcomes pets. Taking them with you can be a bit of a hassle, but you'll save on kennel and/or dog sitter fees, plus have the peace of mind of knowing your dog has the best caretaker available while you're gone -- it has you.
