For the past five years we've driven to/from Ontario to Florida with our fur family. It usually takes about 25 hours .. We do it over three days. We have a 70 lb dog, a small dog, and until recently, we also travelled with a cat. Plus dog beds, water bowls, litterbox, etc. We put most of our possessions in a torpedo on the roof cuz there is no room in the vehicle! We stay at Red Roof Inns which are known for being pet friendly.

We were going to rent for a few seasons, but we ended up buying a CYV in 2007 because we figured it would be difficult finding accommodation which would accept three pets. Even tho our dogs don't shed and are perfect angels, lol.

Good luck with finding a pet-friendly rental. I hope you're able to bring your dogs with you. Perhaps we'll see you at the dog park!
