Father’s Day is a special day to honor the great dads out there, past and present. One of the ways you can get this done is by choosing a gift your pet-loving travel top pop would love to have. Since Amazon is our go-to for last-minute finds with a pretty reliable record for on-time deliveries, we’ve found some quick options for your travel-loving pet pa. Check out these nine fast-delivery finds for Father’s Day:
1. Wireless Earbuds
The pet father in your life can enjoy exploring the streets of pet-friendly St. Augustine while heading to a local coffee shop or even the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park while listening to his favorite Audible book with a pair of wireless earbuds, like these wireless earbuds from JBL. Even if your fit fur-loving father wants to work out with his K9 and enjoy sweat-resistant earphones that easily pair with the Apple Watch, then the AirPods are a great fit. For the optimal noise-canceling experience, consider the AirPods Pro 2 wireless earbuds.
2. A Robe
If you're planning a staycation with the pet dad in your life, or he prefers a relaxing day at home curled up with his best furry friend, consider getting him a luxurious robe. It's perfect for lounging in comfort in an Airbnb or even camping on a cool weekend with his K9 and friends. For an easy-to-pack and fur-resistant option, consider this bamboo robe. You can also opt for this plush robe for a road trip or Dog Dad's Day In. Try this DudeRobe men's hooded bathrobe with pocketsor this plush robe from Eddie Bauer.
3. A Classic Pet Dad T-Shirt
Incorporate a classic dad joke in your special pa’s day that shows his love for his paw-footed friends with a classic graphic pet dad t-shirt. We like this cotton-poly Crazy Dog T-shirt and this Best. Cat. Dad. Ever. T-shirt from Crazy Dog T-Shirt.
4. A Skincare Kit
Give your dog dad the gift of luxurious skin and opt for a skincare kit like this two-step men’s facial care kit from CRVFT. It includes a daily facial cleanser that contains soothing aloe vera and a hydrating daily moisturizer formulated with hyaluronic acid to keep your favorite pet dad’s face hydrated.
5. A Photo Album
Help your pet-loving pop relive his Dog Days of Summer or Backcountry Cat Adventures with his favorite furry friend (and family) with a classic photo album. We like this MCS The Story of Us Photo Album, where you can hold up to 200 4 x 6-inch photos. It also has space for you to write about the backpacking adventures your cat daddy had, too.
6. A Casual Pair of Sneakers
Every pet dad can add another pair of everyday sneakers to their sneaker collection. Try these Adidas Men’s Kaptir 3.0 shoes. They come in a variety of sizes and colors, but you can opt for white to wear to a summer soiree.
7. An Apple Watch
Keep your dog dad and cat daddy connected on the go with this Apple Watch with GPS. He'll be able to keep track of how fast and far he's gone on his workouts with ease. If you want him to have the ultimate connectivity options while hiking with his furry hero or camping in a remote location, consider getting him the Apple Watch Ultra 2 with GPS and cellular connectivity. He'll get accurate tracking whether he's on a mountain or in a dense forest and can enjoy using it on a hot day while running near the sea and enjoying a dog-friendly beach.
8. A Hands-Free Dog Leash
A hands-free dog leash will be the perfect extra gift for the active dog dad in your life. Whether he wants to go on a long walk, hike, or run, your dog dad can take advantage of jogging with his Jack Russel terrier while keeping his furry friend safe or worrying about fumbling over him. Consider this Tuff Pupper hands-free leash. This hands-free leash features a shock-absorbing bungee to help cushion any sudden movements, such as a pull or tug, during an afternoon stroll, making it ideal for energetic dogs and those of large and medium-sized breeds. It also offers reflective padding, perfect for drivers spotting your pet on an evening walk or run.
9. A GoPro Camera
Active pet dads will enjoy an action camera like the GoPro Hero 13. Not only is it travel-ready, but it's waterproof, too. Take it out to the beach, go fishing with Fido, or even try pet vlogging to share your adventure. You can even make dad's day more special by including hands-free accessories, such as a chest harness, a helmet, or a dog harness, to capture travel adventures from his pet's point of view.

Oh no! Mother's Day is less than 24 hours away (or maybe even today! Yikes!), and you forgot to buy the pet-loving traveling mom in your life the gift she deserves. You know she's worth it, too, because she's worked hard cleaning up after Fido and changing Mr. Mitten's kitty litter. She's even taking care of them on vacation! Sure, you can quickly get some grocery store-bought roses, slap a chocolate bar in a card, and call it a day, but you did that last year, didn't you? You don't want that special mom in your life to sense the pattern of your procrastination habits or feel like she was an afterthought, now do you? No need to fear! That's why we created this thoughtful last-minute Mother's Day gift guide to help you quickly pick and shop for some heartfelt gifts for the traveling pet mom in your life. Here are seven quick pick gifts just for mom, and the places to shop to save you time.
1. Think about the outfit (and accessories).
The pet-loving traveling mom in your life may appreciate some new kicks or everyday accessories to lounge with her favorite feline, Mr. Whiskers, or even mosey around the neighborhood when walking Fido. Why not opt for a few items to complete her outfit? You can opt for a skin tone look with a pair of vanilla and sandstone HOKA Women's Clifton 10 running sneakers, a pair of high-waisted skin tone leggings, an adjustable Nike baseball cap, and a belt bag to hold any pet poop bags or her ID. Check out more options here from the likes of Amazon, DICK's Sporting Goods (DSG), DSW, Kohl's, and Old Navy:
Faleave Cotton-linen blend palazzo pants in khaki (A summer staple with a drawstring closure and pockets.)
High-waisted linen-blend wide leg pants (Another summer staple with pockets and an elastic waistband.)
Linen-blend loose button-down shirt (Get it in white or flax linen.)
HOKA Women's Clifton 10 Running Shoes (There are multiple colorways, including white/blue and blue quartz.)
2. Bank on beauty buys.
One quick and almost fail-proof way to make your way into a mother's heart is by getting some much-needed beauty items, and there are a lot to choose from. If you know the types of scents she enjoys, consider getting a travel-friendly fragrance like this tropical travel spray from Juliette Has a Gun in Miami Shake. Just remember that if you order from Sephora for a same-day pickup, orders are fulfilled within four hours. Here are some more beauty finds to try that you can schedule a quick pick up or delivery from Sephora, Sephora at Kohl's, Walgreens, CVS, and Amazon:
TULA's Greatist Hit Skincare Discovery Kit (Includes face wash, moisturizer, and eye balm).
Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo (Here's the version for Extra Oil Control and the Amika x Ellis Brooklyn Miami Nectar dry shampoo collaboration.)
MDSolarSciences Solar Stick SPF 40 Water Resistant Mineral Sunscreen
3. Make it sentimental.
Nothing says I put thought into this gift like a personalized product. Drug stores like Walgreens and CVS make it easy to upload a few photos to create a one-of-a-kind gift for the special mom in your life. Think of which product your mom would likely use that can be printed and picked up the same day, so you have enough time to wrap the gift or present it how you envisioned. Keep it simple and opt for a photo album on your phone with high-resolution images of a recent trip you took together or even a few pictures you have of her and her furry friend. Walgreens offers a variety of same-day products you can order and pick up within hours, including photo books, calendars, canvas prints, acrylic blocks, mouse pads, and posters. You can also print puzzles, magnets, mugs, and more at CVS Photo.
4. Offer comfort and calmness.
There are tons of comfort options, but you don't have much time to shop. Keep it simple and think of the main comforts a pet-loving traveling mom may need: anything to help her fall asleep while on the go. A sleeping mask, some moldable earplugs, and a neck pillow like this lumbar travel pillow from Amazon can help her catch some ZZZs as she snores away to infinity and beyond on that long road trip, train ride, or flight. But you can also provide an element of calmness in the physical form and gift a book she can read while lying on a blanket in the park with her pooch, such as the Forever Dog. You can also get an adult coloring book filled with cats, a sketchbook, or a five-minute journal so she can release her thoughts and emotions onto paper even when she is away from home.
5. Help her get and stay fit.
Fitness is forever, even when you're traveling, so getting a travel-friendly fitness item can help make your mom's day. Try some of these fitness finds you can order overnight and sometimes get the same day from Amazon and Target:
6. Get digital.
If the travel-loving dog mom in your life is miles away and you must get her something, you can go big on digital gift cards. Send a sweet or humorous message with your digital gift and make her day. Consider a ClassPass gift card for the moms who want to stay fit wherever they are in the world. They can try a Pilates class at [solidcore], a cycling class at Cyclebar, a belly dancing class, a rowing class, or enjoy open gym time at a YouFit center. They can also use it to visit a spa for a facial, take a rock-climbing class, or even do goat yoga! Make her digital gift experience even more unique with a gift subscription to Perplexity AI Pro so she can save time planning her next trip or organizing her emergency pet first aid kit with the help of generative AI. You can also send her a Calm subscription, a Sephora gift card, or even a Spotify gift card so she can enjoy listening to her road trip playlists without the ads.
7. Don't forget the physical tech.
Give your mommy on-the-go the tech she needs to enjoy an Audible or Libby book while in transit or even listening to her favorite podcast while walking the dogs. You can schedule a pickup in less than an hour at a local Walgreens and get a pair of Apple AirPods and an AirTag to track her luggage, too. Here are some other tech finds you can order in a jiffy from the likes of Amazon:
