Easy to use, easy to navigate website. Traveled from Knoxville, TN to Portland, OR with 2 cats. Bring Fido hooked us up! Thank you Fido!
we have had good luck finding lodging while we were wandering around the country. Often we have been given smoking rooms, but that's not too bad. it would help to be able to see the pet fee in a clear note.
The UI doesn't let me input a specific location or range and keep it. For every single search, I have to add it. It's annoyingly grating and ticks me off, esp since I have to go back and use the hamburger menu just to get back someplace. Even though you can add cats to your profile, it's for dogs only. Moreover, this app is utterly useless if you're not in a major metroplex. There is NOTHING near me. I have no idea why ppl suggest it here bc there are zero results.
Needs GPS locations. it's great for finding hotels, parks and trails but really needs to show current location on a map so you can see what's nearby instead of having to click on every listing. Again, when doing an initial search, should be able to click on a *near me" rather than needing to enter the town/city every time
Great but could use some work. When searching for hotels you have to reset the filters every time you get done looking at a hotel and if your comparing places it can get really frustrating and annoying. Other then that the people are great and and the app is super helpful in finding a place that takes dogs especially large or multiple dogs.
Love Bring Fido! We have used this service for multiple cross country road trips with our four Anatolian Shepherds. i have never had a problem finding a hotel or activity, and the customer service is great! The Android app has some issues though. More often than not, I get a server timeout error and can't do anything. Thankfully I can rely on my laptop to access the desktop version.
This review is based solely on using the restaurant portion of the app. App is extremely laggy when searching in map mode or just crashes all together (using pixel 3 w/ Android 11). Half the places that pop up are not actually dog/pet friendly. A Google search and a phone call would be easier and save you the headache of showing up somewhere that doesn't allow animals. This app needs a ton of improvement. Until they fix these issues, this app doesn't save you any time finding pet friendly places
I haven't used the app much yet, as my upcoming trip is fully planned but the app is easy to use and friendly with a clean design. I would like to know if there is a way to change the currency from USD to GBP, I also had a little trouble uploading a picture for myself or the hounds. Overall good app, but I hope for some guidance on the currency :)
Easy to use and accurate search results. Every hotel they list does allow dogs, but not every hotel allows dogs in every room, which makes sense. The description of services and pet fees is accurate. We enjoyed using this app during a 3 week long road trip and it has proved priceless. Have not yet booked a stay through the app, as we are gun-shy of third-party booking services, but we will try it out on our next trip. Kudos to the BringFido developers!
This app worked great for a while and all of a sudden it stopped. I can't get it to work anymore uninstalled it, reinstalled it, still not working and won't open.
Great idea! But lacking. It would be great to have a "current location" option on the first screen. When traveling you aren't always sure what the city or town is named. I also wanted to post a picture of the place I just reviewed, but it seems the pictures are more general rather than related to the specific place.
I road trip a lot with my dog and never know how far we'll go in a day. I've always found a room with Bring Fido!
Works sometimes, but if I want to search restaurant in a certain zip code area it suddenly doesn't show any places. So you pretty much have to manually look at everything with the map that glitches out. It's all just long and tedious to use this app, when Google maps is easier.
I love being able to select from pet-friendly accommodations without the guesswork. You can also save hikes, attractions, or even articles to revisit later.
super easy to use and VALUABLE info
A client had recommended this app to me years ago and I've been using it since, especially when I travel. Customer service is A+ and booking places to stay (not just hotels) is so quick and easy. It's a fun way to discover new restaurants as well. I highly recommend this app if you're like me and need to have your baby always by your side.
Amazing customer service!! I highly recommend their concierge service. I traveled across many states with 5 small dogs and each night I would call Brinfido. Then, they called hotels ahead of time asking if we were okay to book. Once confirmed that the hotel would take us, they made the reservation and always in nice hotels. Upon arriving at the hotels for my reservation, I had no issues checking in, but Bringfido always gave me a name of the person that ok'd our stay in case I did have issues.
They farmed my room fee out to Expedia. Expedia's credit card declined. We spent 1.5hrs in the lobby exhausted with 3 dogs. Got hung up on several times. They wouldn't refund me so I could just pay the room myself. Come to find out, I paid 15.00 more for the room than if I had gone to the hotel myself and purchased it. Sadly, I can't recommend them to anyone.
I've used bring fido half a dozen times now and have loved it every time. I don't have to read through small print on other hotel websites to find out if our 2 large dogs will be allowed. I just set the filter and search. So easy!
Bring Fido is my go to when I'm making travel arrangements. Always found places that allow us to travel with our large dog. My only complaint is on occasion it redirects you to other sites to make final bookings instead of booking through the app (which I prefer to ensures that the hotels/place I book with are aware I have a dog).
I was thrilled to discover they have an app, too. I've done a dozen bookings with them over the years and never had a single problem. Travel planning with a big dog like ours can be filled with doubt and anxiety. BringFido alleviates those issues for us by doing all the hard work. The only way BringFido needs to improve is by us users being more diligent. RATE HOTELS AND WRITE REVIEWS!! Don't just book and be on your way. So many hotels have few or no reviews. Reviews improve the community.
If you have a dog and go anywhere, this app helps a lot. it's cut down the time I spend searching ahead on my phone by 70%at least. also, it's incredibly easy to book through the app. five paws way up.
I`ve used this app successfully many times. It got 4 stars because if it shows an airbnb or vacation rental it takes you to the app but not the exact listing so you might as well use their apps to find those types of places. Great for finding dog friendly hotels.
So far I love this app. It makes finding lodging that accepts two 90 lb dogs much, much easier than other search apps not focused on specific pet friendly restrictions. It also specifies additional pet fees along with the nightly rate.
DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE We booked a pet friendly hotel through bring fido. At confirmation they say "Our Canine Concierge will make sure you’re assigned to a pet friendly room now, so there won’t be any unpleasant surprises at check-in." We get to our hotel and it's NOT PET FRIENDLY. They were completely unhelpful and left us with no room. Now we have to wait days for our refund and have to book another hotel with money we dont have! No, they are not. Youre app does not uodate policey changes.
good app, sometimes errors out.
I haven't stayed yet but checking was great and great price
awesome food good prices extremely dog friendly staff they have booze but let u byob for a cooking fee
I love BringFido and have been using for years to book rooms and find restaurants.
Every search yeilds no results when the web page does. Also it's not very useful without more filters like pools, laundry, etc Excellent idea though
