### 5/5 — Incredibly helpful tool!

This app has been so helpful! I always hated having to pull over to look for a place for my dog to do her business just to find out the closest dog park is 30 minutes in the opposite direction. With this app my trip is now automatically planned out and navigated.

### 5/5 — I Needed This!!

*2025-12-02*

I’m so glad I found this app before my solo road trip with my pup. Too many times I’ve had to pull over on the side of the road to let my dog out or leave him in my truck while I grab a bite because I couldn’t find a pet friendly restaurant… The app is clean and simple, I highly recommend it!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for sharing this! I’m really happy the app made your solo road trip smoother.

### 5/5 — Convenient and Easy to Use

*2025-11-30*

Dog parks, places to eat, and lodging? All pet friendly and on my route! I doubted it at first, but it’s so easy to use, if there’s not enough of the stops I’m looking for it will search a little further from my main route, will I drive 10 miles off route to stay in a pet friendly hotel with a nearby dog park? Yes! I love this app! No more worrying about traffic in a gas station parking lot while my dog tries to go, this app is a lifesaver!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for this awesome review! I’m really glad the app surprised you in a good way. Being able to find dog parks, food, and lodging right along your route is exactly what I wanted to make easier—no more stressful parking lot moments or guessing where to go.
