Dogs Welcome

Bring the Dog

Seats protected. Gear packed. Harness fitted. Your dog rides like they own the car. Because for a few days, they kind of do.

Home › Experiences › Bring the Dog

Most rental companies say no dogs. Or they say yes and charge you a $250 fee for the privilege of anxiety the whole trip. We say bring the dog. We stock the Ruffwear Load Up harness in three sizes — the one that's actually crash-tested. The seat cover goes in before pickup. Collapsible bowls in the bag. The Newport pet guide in the console. You show up, your dog gets in, and the trip starts.

Vehicle Availability

What's Included

  • Seat Cover & Protector
    Full hammock-style. Goes over the back seat before we deliver. The car stays clean. Your dog stays comfortable. You stop white-knuckling every corner turn.
  • Ruffwear Load Up Harness
    Not a knockoff. The crash-tested one. We stock XSmall, Small, Medium, and Large. Tell us your dog's breed at booking and we'll confirm the fit before delivery.
  • Collapsible Silicone Bowls (2-pack)
    Water and food, anywhere. They fold flat and toss in the bag. Don't forget to fill one before you leave.
  • Waste Bags
    Biodegradable. More than you'll need. Not a sad handful from the bottom of a drawer.
  • Newport Pet-Friendly Guide Card
    HB Dog Beach, Laguna, Newport Dunes, Back Bay Trails. A dog-friendly coffee shop, a bar patio that actually means it, and a 24/7 vet number just in case. Printed, in the console.
  • S&K Branded Bandana (Take-Home)
    Teal. Your dog's name should probably be on one anyway. It goes home with them.

How It Works

  1. 1
    Add Bring the Dog at checkout. Tell us your dog's breed and rough size — we'll stage the right harness.
  2. 2
    The seat cover goes in before delivery. Harness, bowls, bags, and guide are already in the car.
  3. 3
    Return the gear. Keep the bandana. Post the photos.
$95 flat per booking. Not per day. Not per dog weight class. Not complicated. Available on the Bronco, 4Runner, Rubicon, and Willys — the ones with room to actually bring a dog. Your co-pilot is waiting.

Not available with Defender, Corvette, or Mustang.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size harness do you stock?
XSmall (17–22" chest), Small (22–27" chest), Medium (27–32"), and Large/XLarge (32–42"). Tell us your dog's breed at booking and we'll confirm the right size before delivery.
What if my dog is extra large?
Outside our harness range (32"+ chest for XL), we recommend bringing your own harness. Our seat cover and all other gear still work for any size dog.
Which vehicles are available?
Bronco Badlands, 4Runner TRD Pro, Wrangler Rubicon, and Wrangler Willys. Not available on the Defender, Corvette, or Mustang.
Is there an extra cleaning fee if my dog sheds?
No. The seat cover handles it. No additional fee unless there's damage beyond normal wear.
Can my dog ride in the front seat?
The harness setup is designed for the back seat hammock — it's the safest configuration. We recommend keeping them there.
Pair it with: The Bronco Badlands fits a Lab and a weekend's gear. The 4Runner TRD Pro fits a whole family and the dog. Also available on the Rubicon and Willys. Heading to the sand? Combine Bring the Dog with the Beach Day pack — the tote fits dog stuff too.
