I used booking.com and used pet friendly hotels   
Travelled with 2 dogs no problems.
Stopped in Germany first night
Hungary second night
Romania third night all hotels were very good and Hungary and Romania very cheap.
I used google maps to plan the route and allowed for 10 hours driving per day because I was travelling alone.
Important to note that your dogs will need their pet passport and if you are travelling through Serbia you will need a international driving licence.
Prior to travelling heard a lot of bad things about Serbia and in particular their police but I had no issues but did not stop overnight.

Nice to read people make this road trip comfortably with pet friendly hotels.
10 hours driving per day is some going.
How many days do you recommend sparing for this road trip Nigel?
