Founded by a lifelong traveler who became a successful Airbnb host, DogsBnB emerged when Jennifer realized that exploring the world with her three rescue dogs was the most rewarding way to travel.

As a host, she discovered that opening her home to four-legged guests and catering to their needs, as well as their humans’, created truly dream vacations.

What Sets Us Apart

DogsBnB isn’t a booking site; it’s a mission-driven discovery engine for dog-friendly travel. We highlight places your pup will love and elevate hosts who give back, so every trip can help a dog in need. Below is how our approach is different and why it matters.

Hosts who list with DogsBnB can take the Host Pawledge: donating a portion of each stay to a verified 501(c)(3) dog charity. We surface pledged listings so travelers can choose impact without paying more.

  • Clear commitment: Hosts choose a Pawsitive Partner and set a % of their nightly rate.
  • Real impact: Donations go directly to the charity—no middlemen.
  • Travelers win: You pay the same price as booking direct, while helping dogs.

Our paw icons make it easy to see a listing’s commitment at a glance.

  • One Paw 🐾—Pledged: Host has taken the Pawledge.
  • Two Paws 🐾🐾—Verified: Monthly donations confirmed by the partner charity.
  • Better visibility: Verified impact can improve placement over time.

The goal: reward good actors, build traveler trust, and funnel more support to dog rescues.

We verify donations in partnership with charities and participating platforms, then reflect that status on listings.

  • End-of-month checks: We reconcile DogsBnB-driven stays against partner confirmations.
  • Receipts matter: Hosts submit (or partners confirm) donation receipts.
  • Integrity first: Listings that don’t verify may lose paw status or be removed.

You see where the impact comes from—clearly and consistently.

DogsBnB is a referral engine. Clicking through our links costs you the same as booking direct—no added service fees from us.

  • Same price: We don’t mark up or add a platform fee.
  • Simple experience: Find dog-friendly places fast; book where you’re comfortable.
  • Mission funded differently: Our model focuses on host pledges and partner programs, not traveler fees.

We’re building search for real dog parents: not just “pets allowed,” but the details that matter on the road.

  • Smart filters: fenced yard, nearby parks, weight/number limits, senior-friendly, crate policy, vet/24-hr care access, and more.
  • Barkley help: Ask our AI companion for destination tips, trails, or pet-care spots near your stay.
  • Community signal: Traveler reviews spotlight what pups loved most at each place.

The result is a calmer, quicker way to find places that actually work for your dog.

Hi, I'm Shannon! I am a huge animal lover and always have been. I (and my husband, Jake) currently have 11 rescue pets, 5 dogs, 4 cats, a chinchilla, and a salamander. We also built a cat village on my front porch for all the strays that come by to visit (we currently have a long-term resident, Smokey). I hope to one day start a rescue of my own to help as many animals as possible find their forever homes.

I am also vegan and extremely passionate about animal rights - I'll even go out of my way to swerve for a frog in the road. Much like the Disney Princesses I have always admired, I seem to have a way with animals. I have had countless encounters with wild animals, such as chipmunks, squirrels, and deer to name a few, coming up to me to eat from my hands, pet them, and even let me pick them up. I’ve got the pictures to prove it!

Travel is another passion of mine. Exploring new places and immersing myself in different cultures provides a sense of renewal and growth. It is through these experiences that I find myself continually inspired and motivated as an artist and person. Being able to travel with our pups is a lofty goal since there are so many, but I am SO glad to have found DogsBnb. It will definitely make traveling with them so much easier.

For DogsBnb, I manage their social media, marketing, and graphic design needs. It's a business that I am truly passionate about. How could I not? It involves my two favorite things - animals and travel! I am so excited to see where this journey takes us.

Hi, I’m Priscilla—though most people know me as Percy. As a lifelong animal lover, I’m thrilled to be part of DogsBnb, a company built on the belief that every adventure should include our four-legged family members. My passion for dogs runs deep: I share my home with four amazing rescue dogs, foster countless pups, volunteer with rescues and shelters, and even ran a small business selling dog-themed apparel to raise funds for rescue organizations. Helping them isn’t just something I do, it’s who I am.

By day, I work in a demanding, people-focused profession, but my heart truly belongs to the dog world. Dogs have always been drawn to me, I like to think they sense my “dog person” vibe.

As someone who loves to travel, I’ve always wished it were easier to bring my dogs along on my adventures. With DogsBnb, I believe it finally can be. Our mission: to make traveling with pets simple, stress-free, and meaningful by connecting people with truly dog-friendly stays while supporting nonprofit rescues, is a cause I’m deeply passionate about and proud to help bring to life.

As the Director of Outreach, I build relationships with pet-friendly hosts, partner rescues, and our amazing community of dog lovers. I’m honored to be part of a company that’s making a difference for pets and the people who love them and making a real difference for animals everywhere. One stay, one trip, and one happy tail at a time.
