Show me a photo of a dog and I swoon. I’m pretty easy to please… but discovering the awesome traveling pets of Instagram having the adventures we only dream of is just too much! I’m obsessed!
Have a little look at these instagrammers who travel the world and take their (furry) best friends along with them. From diving into mountain lakes, snoozing in a hammock, sniffing around in the sands of Monument Valley and peering off ragged cliffs into mist-filled ravines; these dogs and cats are living the best life. A life we wouldn’t mind a slice of!
So without further ado, have a sneaky peek at our top traveling pets of Instagram having the adventures of their lives! Where in the world would you take your pet pooch?
10 Pets of Instagram having Adventures we only Dream of…
1.Theron Humphrey – @thiswildidea
With his bio stating he’s “finding my way back to the important places”, you can really see it reflected in his Instagram feed. Traveling slow with his Coonhound Maddie, Theron ventures through the States soaking up the nature whilst capturing peaceful moments.
2. Loki – @loki_the_wolfdog
Loki the wolfdog sure is a cutie. He travels with Kelly Lund (@shark_toof) around Colorado and loves new adventures! This husky/arctic wolf/malamute mix is never left behind – Kelly Lund explains: “Growing up in a family that took dog ownership very seriously, I had my fair share of experiences with large dogs. Loki was different though. Instead of him entering into my world, I felt like I had to listen closely and enter into his world, if this was going to work out. At that time, I decided that I would do everything possible to not leave him behind at the house. We started backcountry snowboarding together when he was four months old, and before his third birthday, he’d seen most of the western U.S.”
And they haven’t looked back since….
3. Aspen – @aspenthemountainpup
Aspen the Golden Retriever is living an adventure, and sure looks majestic whilst doing so. Catch him learning how to paddle board, chilling in the mountains and snuggling in a tent with his owners. Bliss…
4. Jeremy Veach – @jeremyveach
Jeremy travels with his little pug, Norm. This pooch has adventures throughout the States, in his element on sandy beaches and in woodlands. Have a look at Jeremy’s blog for other photography projects beyond the Norm.
5. Andrew knapp – @andrewknapp
Up in Canada, Andrew travels with his Border Collie, Momo, and a sweet yellow camper van. He speaks home truths and the struggles of life on the road in a super slow, trundling van, but wouldn’t change it for the world. Be sure to read his captions when having a scroll…
6. Bolt and Keel – @boltandkeel
Time to throw some cats into the mix! You didn’t think it would all be traveling dogs? These brothers are adventure cats who hike, paddle and snowshoe through the wilderness. Bolt and Keel were abandoned in a park, discovered by avid photographer Kayleen VanderRee. She was about to embark on a mountain trek, and since the animal shelter was closed, she took them along. Now they love nothing more than perching on her shoulder or standing proud at the bow of a canoe <3
You can also check out their photography collection in a new book coming out October 2017: “Bolt and Keel: The Wild Adventures of Two Rescued Cats“.
7. Miami – @miami_traveller_dog
This tiny Italian dog travels the world and gets to pose at some brilliant sights. From the gondolas in Venice to luxury hotels, this pup gets to really travel in style.
8. Burma – @burmaadventurecat
This cat is living an adventurous life – adopted off the streets, Burma now climbs high peaks in Nevada and happily traipses the snow in Oregon. Burma sparked off the hugely popular hashtag#AdventureCat, and with so many taking their cats out for walks and hikes, you can now finally get the lowdown on how to travel well with your feline friend on adventurecat.org. From ways to prevent your cats motion sickness to cat travel hacks, you can now find your answers!

And to finish our round up of brilliant Instagram pets that travel the world, this traveling dog photographer traverses the globe snapping the lovely dogs he stumbles upon. From Mexican street dogs to huskies that will double high-five for treats, he gets to meet some of the world’s finest.
Next time you’re packing your bag for a trip, why not take a look at your cuddly friend and think about taking them with you?
Sophie Saint was one of the original travelettes, from 2009 – 2017. After fleeing the UK with ink barely dry on her graduation certificate, she traversed the world with a backpack and spent a few years living in Melbourne – one of her favourite cities in the world.
She finally returned to the UK after a few years where she now whiles time away zipping off for European escapes, crocheting and daydreaming of owning her own hostel somewhere hot to live out eternal summers. See what she’s up to over on her blog saintsonaplane.com and instagram: @saintsonaplane
