Roving through Virginia with Rover

  • Fairfax County

    Fairfax County

    What started off nonchalantly as a trip to the county next door soon turned into our most ambitious undertaking. One thing we learned for certain: Fairfax County is full of surprises that make for a fantastic dog friendly road trip.

  • Dinwiddie County

    Dinwiddie County

    Our pack spent a few delightful days in Dinwiddie County and the city of Petersburg visiting Civil War battlefields and other historic sites, hiking along the Appomattox River, and kayaking on Lake Chesdin.

  • Cumberland County

    Cumberland County

    If you want to take a road trip with your dog, we suggest including Cumberland County and Farmville to the itinerary. If you want to hike, kayak, visit Civil War historical sites, and eat good food, then this is your happy place. Visit the High Bridge with your pack and thank us later.

  • Culpeper County

    Culpeper County

    Our pack hiked through stunning Civil War battlefields, visited a bison farm, and relaxed at a winery. We also awarded Culpeper County with a big “paws up” for its dog friendly downtown.

  • Charlotte County

    Charlotte County

    As a Bridgerton fan, I was excited to visit Queen Charlotte’s eponymous Virginia county, especially because this royal was known to travel with her beloved dogs. Our pack enjoyed the history and the hiking, but we absolutely reveled in the rustic beauty of Charlotte County.

  • Appomattox County

    Appomattox County

    In Appomattox County, we were either off-grid and having fun outdoors or we were taking in the area’s Civil War history.

  • Amelia County

    Amelia County

    If you are a Civil War history buff, you know that Amelia Courthouse and Sailor’s Creek both played crucial roles at the end of the war. Close to the Courthouse, Amelia County’s Wildlife Management Area is a great place to fish, hike, bike and go kayaking. Plus, it’s free and dog friendly!
