“People love their pets and many can’t imagine traveling without them.

Rankings were based on the number of hotels within Priceline.com’s network of Express Deals(sm) hotels that are listed as “pet friendly,” the number of off-leash dog parks per hundred thousand residents (source: The Trust for Public Land www.tpl.org), and the walkability as measured by Walk Score™ of each city.
