This is a website that makes reservations at pet-friendly hotels, among other services.
Has anyone ever heard of the site? Has anyone ever used it?

I’ve used it. It’s ok, but I’ve also just googled “pet friendly hotels” and gotten good results

We've had good experiences staying at Marriott's Residence Inns and Loew's Hotels with our pup.

One comment re bringfido.com. It is still a good idea to check with the hotel/motel before or at the time of booking. Policies can, and do, change.
Lately, we've been staying at Best Westerns - they usually have some pet friendly rooms. I should note that the last one we stayed in (Abbottsford, BC) - although they did allow pets, they were located on a very busy street (6 lanes of traffic) with no parks or walking places nearby. It was difficult for Cass to do her business in that situation. Fortunately it was only one night.

I love my dog, but I cannot imagine traveling with her. She has to be walked every 3 or 4 hours. She barks at noises. I would have to bring all the waterproofing (2 layers) that we currently use before I'd let her sleep on a hotel bed. I would still worry about the carpet because she is a submissive pee-er
I can't imagine it being an enjoyable trip for us. I won't say being boarded is fun for her, but she is safe and comfortable.
To each his/her own, I guess.

A Kentucky motel’s pet-friendly policy was put to the test earlier this month when an Ontario woman checked her horse into a room on her way to a competition. Lindsey Partridge, of Kawartha Lakes, Ont., said she was travelling with three horses to the Retired Racehorse Project’s Thoroughbred Makeover competition on Oct. 4 when she stopped to check in to the Super 8 motel in Georgetown, Ky. When she saw other guests bring in a dog, Partridge said she jokingly asked the clerk if the motel’s pet-friendly policy would extend to her horse. “The lady at the desk just said, ‘Oh yeah, I wouldn’t care, go ahead, bring your horse in,’ ” said Partridge, who buys retired racehorses and trains them at her facility east of Toronto. www.thestar.com/news/world/2017/10/16/canadian-woman-checks-horse-into-pet-friendly-kentucky-motel.htmlThere's a picture of her horse in her hotel room, watching TV,
