If your social media feed is filled with more pet photos and video than normal, it could be because it’s National Pet Month. From companionship to emotional support, pets are a vital part of our lives. Each year, Americans spend about $56 billion on their pets and Canadians about $3 billion. 80% of pet owners, in a recent survey, said they gave their pets holiday or birthday presents while 60% said they signed their pets’ names on cards or letters.
Just how much do we spoil our pets? A Forbes Advisor survey of 10,000 dog owners found that Florida tops the list of states with the most spoiled dogs. Alaska, Washington, Colorado and California round out the top five states with the most spoiled dogs.
Recent 2024 surveys reveal that an impressive 78% of American pet owners travel with their pets each year. Approximately 54% of cat and dog owners are planning to include their furry companions in upcoming trips. As for travel preferences, nearly 64% of pet owners opt for car travel, while 33% choose to fly with their pets.
A New Travel Alternative: Rent a Luxury Motorcoach
More pet owners are discovering another option for traveling with their pets. When you rent a luxury motorcoach for a vacation or a one-way trip, not only will your pets be comfortable, but so will the rest of your family. Everyone deserves a luxury experience…including your pets! From serene beaches to lush mountain trails, traveling in a luxury motorcoach rental with your pet allows for unforgettable shared adventures and stress-free comfort.
These spacious Class A motorcoaches have many of the same amenities you have at home. Some people refer to them as a “hotel suite on wheels” since they feature all the comforts of home including the convenience of a kitchen, comfortable beds, multiple bathrooms, washer and dryer and even a dishwasher. There’s also ample space for your pets to move around, stretch and relax.
Let Us Do the Driving
Consider our LiTRV team to be your personal concierge. Count on us to take care of all the details, and we can also arrange for a private driver so you can relax with your family and pets. Our professional drivers are committed to your safety, comfort and convenience. Rather than being stuck driving hours on the road, you can spend valuable time playing with your pets, feeding them, and even napping with them.
Because of the coach’s comfortable, home-like environment, you can bring your pet’s favorite bed, blankets, toys and even set up a designated feeding area to help reduce their stress and anxiety. But most importantly, you’ll be with them on the journey, showering them with all the love and attention you normally would.
Our private drivers can also make multiple stops along the way, especially if you have dogs who need a potty break or some exercise. And when there’s an overnight stop, we arrange for the driver to stay nearby so you and your pets can enjoy your privacy.
Stay at a Pet-Friendly Luxury RV Resort
Our LiTRV concierge team can recommend several pet-friendly luxury RV resorts to stay at. We’ll share details about their amenities and pet policies well in advance. We’ll also check availability for premier sites on the property so you can enjoy magnificent views, have close access to recreation areas, or relax in a more secluded part of the property. Here are three examples of pet-friendly destinations:
Cannon Beach, Oregon
Named one of the world’s 100 most beautiful places by National Geographic, Cannon Beach is known for its long stretch of sandy beach and its iconic Haystack Rock, a 235-foot sea stack that dominates the shoreline. This small, pet-friendly, charming coastal city just 90 minutes from Portland in northwest Oregon also boasts lush forests, cliffs, tide pools, and a variety of wildlife, making it a popular destination for nature lovers. Take a long walk on the beach with your dog or explore some of the hiking trails together. In the evening, let your pets rest in your luxury motorcoach while you visit one of the many art galleries or fine dining restaurants in town. Or bring your dogs with you…many boutiques and cafés allow dogs inside or on their patios.
Our concierge specialist can research availability at luxury RV resorts nearby, including the Cannon Beach RV Resort. The pet-friendly resort is within walking distance to downtown Cannon Beach, and the property includes dog-walking areas, an indoor heated pool and spa, picnic tables and fire pits, a convenience store and a game room.
Fredericksburg, Texas
Located in the heart of Texas Hill Country, Fredericksburg combines charming German heritage, wine tasting, and sweeping countryside. There are more than 75 wineries, vineyards, and wine tasting rooms located in Fredericksburg’s Gillespie County — not to mention dozens more wineries located within an hour or two drive. There’s also a 5-acre dog park, or you can bring your dogs to Seed Farm, the nation’s largest working wildflower farm, featuring more than 200 acres of wildflower fields.
Another pet-friendly destination is Enchanted Rock State Natural Area, renowned for its 425-foot pink granite batholith that rises out of the greenness and gently rolling hills that surround it. Enchanted Rock is one of Texas’ most visited sites in the state parks system and allows visitors to connect with nature, while providing 360-degree views of the surrounding Hill Country.
There are several pet-friendly hotels and cabin lodges in the area, or our LiTRV concierge specialist can research nearby pet-friendly luxury RV resorts, such as Firefly Resort Fredericksburg.

The upper level offers gorgeous Hill Country views while the lower level offers a splash pad and a 4-foot-deep end. There’s also an upscale clubhouse, an outdoor kitchen with grills, a wine bar, a community dog park, a playground, high-speed internet and a gated entrance,
Stowe, Vermont
Nestled into the mountains of northern Vermont, Stowe offers fresh air, pet-friendly trails, and quaint New England charm. The town’s popularity stems from its diverse attractions, including stunning scenery, outdoor recreation, unique cultural experiences, and local cuisine. It’s a four-season destination, offering skiing and snowboarding in winter, hiking and biking in summer, and vibrant fall foliage. The village’s charm, historic architecture, and the presence of the Trapp Family Lodge (from the movie The Sound of Music) also contribute to its appeal.
In addition to many scenic hiking trails and several pet-friendly restaurants and breweries, Stowe features many fun outdoor activities. The Stowe Recreational Path is a 5.2-mile paved bike and walking path what begins in historic Stowe Village and winds along the river to a classic covered bridge. Leashed pets are welcome along the trail, and there are also picnic and swimming areas dotted through the trail where you can take a break and enjoy the scenic mountain views. Another highlight is the Gondola SkyRide, which will bring you and your dog to the top of Mount Mansfield, the highest point in Vermont.
Our concierge specialist can research availability at nearby luxury resorts, including Mountain View Campground in Morrisville, about 15 minutes from Stowe. In addition to deluxe patio RV sites and prime sites, the lush property features two swimming pools, a hot tub, a dog park, a playground, a camp store, and access to the Lamoille River, where you can enjoy swimming, kayaking, fishing, or tubing.
When you charter a luxury motorcoach through LiTRV, your pet will have a cozy, familiar place to rest after a day of adventure. And you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your entire family or group of friends can enjoy a memorable trip together in comfort and style.
