Memorial Day is fast approaching and everyone’s in the mood for summertime fun! Before you finalize your travel plans, have you considered bringing your dog with you? These days, it’s not necessary to leave the family pets behind, given the plethora of pet-friendly lodging, beaches and other things to do, especially in San Diego’s North County. Even if you need to leave Fido in the hotel or rental room, you can contact Claws and Paws Pet Sitting Service to pet sit while you’re out, since most establishments don’t allow the pet to be left alone. So, without further ado, here’s a rundown of where to stay, and where to play!
