Roving through Virginia with Rover

  • Floyd County

    Floyd County

    Our dogs picked their favorite things about our trip to Floyd. Selections include Floyd’s Friday night music scene, the Floofers at the Floyd Animal Shelter, a hike up Buffalo Mountain, and an out-of-this-world dining experience.

  • Fauquier County

    Fauquier County

    Fauquier County, infamous as “horse and wine country” also offers up the most eclectic assortment of dog friendly activities imaginable. And we tried to do them all.

  • 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.

  • Essex County

    Essex County

    How dog friendly is Essex County, Virginia and its historic town of Tappahannock? We asked our dogs and they had a lot to say on this subject, including—and this is a direct quote—“WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!WOOF! WOOF!”

  • Dickenson County

    Dickenson County

    Daniel Boone had the right idea when he traveled to this region with his dogs. We took the same pilgrimage, and like Boone and his pack, ventured to one of the most beautiful places on Earth—Breaks Canyon.

  • 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

    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.

  • Craig County

    Craig County

    Does a dog friendly adventure involving forests, mountains, bald eagles, a waterfall, hiking, fishing, folk art, and bison sound too good to be true? We found all of these things and more in Craig County, our corner of paradise.

  • Clarke County

    Clarke County

    We hunted for a waterfall on the Appalachian Trail, toured a historic town, and explored the State Arboretum. Plus, we found an absolute gem of a dog friendly deli.

    On a scale from 1 to 10 our pack rated Chesterfield County at a solid 11, including our trip to Henricus Historical Park where it’s always Year 1611.
