To the museum with the dog? Now there is a dedicated dog sitter

Life isn’t always easy for who travels with the dog, especially when the destination is a city of art, given that entry to places of culture – museums in the head – is generally forbidden, but now there are those who have thought of a solution: it is a question of TripForDog, an agency that organizes tours for those traveling with their four-legged friend ranging from one-day treks to entire holidays in perfect places (also) for them, which has just launched a new dog sitting service for those visiting iconic places in some of the beauty capitals of our country.

It starts from Roma, with the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel and Castel Sant’Angelo, then there is Florence with the Uffizi, the Accademia Gallery and the Duomo Museum, Pisa to see the Tower e Pompei to see the excavations.

For each of these destinations Tripfordog has thought of gods packages that include skip-the-line tickets to the museum and the service of a certified dog sitter for the hours needed to visit it. Just leave the dog before entering and the person appointed to take care of it takes it with them, takes it for a walk, keeps it cool if it’s hot or vice versa, entertains it, and then brings it back to the owners at the set time. “We have selected people who look after dogs for work,” he explains Marco Fabris, CEO and founder of Tripfordog. “They are experts who know how to make them play safely and also make them rest when needed.”

Costs they are more or less the same as dog sitting in a big city: for example, a visit to the Vatican Museums with skip-the-line ticket and 4 hours of dogsitting costs 70 euros, for the Tower of Pisa, with 2 hours of dogsitting, you pay 45 euros, while for Florence – in addition to the proposals for individual museums available from mid-September – it can also be purchased a whole vacation package which includes two nights in a B&B in the center, tickets with guides for the Uffizi, the Accademia Gallery and the Duomo Museum with the Skip the Line ticket, and dog sitting for as long as necessary for the visits (the price starts from 417 euros per person with dog).

Already experimented on the occasion of some exhibitions, for example at the Museum of Civilizations at Eur in Rome or at the Hangar Bicocca, with the idea of ​​Tripfordog the dog sitting service in museums aims to become systematic, and is the first case in which it is integrated into the ticket. Genoa, Milan and Turin will be the next cities where it will be available, all packages and booking instructions are on www.tripfordog.com.
