At Dog-Friendly Hotels, our content is brought to you by a team of dedicated dog lovers and travel enthusiasts. Each member of our team is an expert in their own right—whether it’s in the fields of hospitality, dog care, or travel planning. Our collective experiences and shared passion for dogs drive us to create the most engaging, accurate, and helpful content possible.

We know firsthand the joys and challenges of traveling with dogs, and we’re committed to sharing that knowledge with our readers. Our team spends countless hours researching the best dog-friendly destinations, testing hotels, and exploring travel tips to ensure that you and your dog have the best experiences together.

Dog-Friendly Hotels was founded by Valentina, a lifelong dog lover, experienced traveler, and hospitality professional with two decades of digital and tourism expertise across Europe. 

Valentina realized that traveling with dogs shouldn’t require guesswork. There should be clarity, trust, and real standards — not just marketing words.

Today, that idea has grown into a European travel-tech initiative designing the first data-driven pet-friendly hospitality network, starting in Italy and expanding through Europe.

A Team United by Love for Dogs & Exploration

Our content and recommendations are created by a team of dog owners, travelers, hospitality specialists, and data-driven explorers who know what traveling with a dog really means.

We:

Research destinations and accommodations

Personally visit and evaluate selected hotels

Test services from the perspective of real dog families

Share honest, practical, and emotion-driven guidance

Every article, guide, or hotel listed comes from first-hand experience and care — not automated lists or generic travel content.

More Than a Website — A Growing Community

We believe every journey is better with a dog by your side.
So we’re building not only a platform, but a community:

Travelers who explore with their dogs

Hotels that genuinely welcome them

Regions ready to lead in pet-inclusive tourism

And we are just getting started.
