About Melissa Kendall:
Melissa Kendall is the president and founder of BringFido.com. She created the website after being unable to book a pet friendly hotel room to attend a friend's wedding in Cape Cod. After calling several hotels that were said to be "pet friendly" on what was once her favorite travel site, and finding that none of the hotels actually allowed pets, she set out to create an online directory that focused solely on pet travel and made it easy for dog owners to find accurate information on hotel pet policies. Melissa holds a B.S. in Management Science from MIT and currently resides in South Florida with her dog, Rocco.
