About BringFido
BringFido is the world’s leading pet travel and lifestyle brand. The company’s website and mobile apps connect millions of pet owners around the globe with more than 500,000 pet-friendly places to stay, play, and dine with their dogs. Members can seamlessly compare and book thousands of pet-friendly hotels and vacation rentals directly on the platform, all with no booking fees.
Founded in 2005 by Melissa Halliburton, BringFido was born out of frustration with the lack of pet policy information on hotel websites. After a year of research in which she and her friends called every hotel in the United States, Halliburton launched BringFido with the mission of making pet travel easier. Over the years, the company has grown to include listings in over 14,000 cities worldwide, encompassing hotels, vacation rentals, bed & breakfasts, campgrounds, restaurants, dog parks, and attractions.
BringFido’s signature Pet Friendly Guarantee and dedicated Canine Concierge team ensure that guests are always assigned pet-friendly rooms, eliminating surprises at check-in. Members receive access to the lowest hotel rates and never pay a booking fee.
In addition to the digital platform, BringFido published “Ruff Guide to the United States,” a book sharing 365 five-bone rated places to stay and play with Fido across all fifty states. The company has been featured in numerous publications and recognized in Pet Age magazine’s “Forty Under 40” list. BringFido also sponsors hundreds of pet charities every year through its pet charity affiliate program.
