Welcome to Doggie Road Trippin’! Founded in 2023 by Alexis Walling, Doggie Road Trippin' is the ultimate guide to dog-friendly travel. What started as a personal journey of healing and adventure with her pup Buckley during the pandemic has grown into a vibrant community of dog lovers and travel enthusiasts.

Alexis, a passionate road tripper, set out to find spots where PAWrents and pups can explore together, and she began sharing these discoveries in 2021. What began as a “pet project” to cope with the loss of her parents blossomed into a platform where dog lovers from all over can connect and share their own travel stories. Alongside Buckley, Alexis now invites family, friends and even a team of “Guest RePAWters” to contribute their favorite dog-friendly spots and adventures.

When she’s not traveling or sharing tips and recommendations, Alexis is a full-time speech-language pathologist working with PreK–4th grade students in New Jersey. Alexis holds a Master's Degree from Nova Southeastern University and a Bachelor's from Loyola College in Maryland.

Meet Lord Buckley, the blue-eyed English Bulldog with a heart as big as his belly! Buckley is an adventure-loving pup who’s always up for a road trip, especially if it means snuggling in the car next to his mom, Alexis. When he's not traveling, you can find him napping the day away or catching some Z's in his mama's bed—after all, he believes he’s entitled to the best spot in the house.

This food-loving pup has a serious passion for meatballs and isn’t shy about showing it. But don’t even think about offering him healthy snacks like blueberries, strawberries, or carrots—he’s got no time for that! His true love? Yak sticks and a good puppuccino, of course.

Buckley is also a playful pup with a soft spot for his toy spider and the game of "Itsy Bitsy," where he’ll eagerly pounce on his little arachnid friend. On weekends, you can find him at his favorite local hangout, The Ale House in Hoboken, NJ, enjoying the good company of fellow dogs and dog lovers while sporting one of his bow ties from his personal collection. He's kind of known for his fashion. 

In short, Buckley’s the kind of dog who knows how to live life to the fullest—one nap, snack, and road trip at a time!
