Vacations just aren’t the same when you have to leave your pets at home. The constant worry that comes with leaving them in the care of a kennel, a neighbor, or even a family member is enough to bring a damper to what is supposed to be a relaxing, fun getaway. There are a variety of bed and breakfasts across the United States that are pet friendly, inviting your furry family member to enjoy your vacation with you and have you leaving just your worries at home.
While it would be impossible to list each and every pet friendly destination, this article will focus on the most popular, as rated by vacationing pet owners everywhere.
1. The Galloway House is located in historic Savannah, GA and allows you to keep two well-behaved dogs of any size per apartment except for dogs 9 months or younger, Pit Bulls, Alaskan Malamutes, Rottweilers, Akitas, Chow Chows, American Staffordshire Terriers, and Doberman Pinschers. It is for insurance reasons these dogs are not allowed and there are no exceptions.

5. Harbour Inne & Cottage is located in Mystic, CT and allows well behaved pets for no fee. The innkeeper simply asks that you clean up after your dogs, make sure nothing is broken, and keep your dog quiet so as not to disturb other guests. A pet friendly policy doesn’t get much better than that!
