If there is hair and/or dirt from your dog on the beds and/or furniture there will be additional cleaning charges. If you intend to spend most of the trip without your dog, please consider if it is a good idea to bring your dog as they cannot be left alone in a rental at anytime. Even the most well behaved dogs will behave differently when left unattended in a home they are not familiar with.
You will be responsible for any damage that your dog may cause. We welcome dogs one year of age and older. We have found that even the best behaved dogs can act differently in a new environment. The biggest causes of dog damage are from scratching wood doors/floors, pee damage, and chewing.
The pet fee is $50 per stay per dog, or a minimum charge of $50 for a dog to come to a rental (there are limits, please see individual pet friendly rentals) and covers the privilege of you being allowed to have your dog with you and covers additional clean-up required when a dog is a guest and we want to ensure that the home, furniture and property are fresh and clean for the next guests. It does not cover any damage caused by your pet.
Guest will comply with any and all applicable pet laws, ordinances, regulations, rules, policies. Clean up after your dog and dispose of all poops in a plastic bag and put it in the trash can.
