Rest A Shored

If you book a pet friendly property then the following provisions (included in the rental agreement) apply:

• ALL PETS ARE SUBJECT TO APPROVAL, please let us know what you would like to bring with you. 
• WE ONLY ALLOW DOGS (Canis familiaris). THAT'S IT. 
• The pet fee is $125 per animal per stay up to one month. Plus tax and processing fees.
• All dogs must be up to date on rabies and other vaccinations. (documentation from an accredited veterinarian must be provided by Guest upon request). 
• All dogs must be treated with a flea and tick repellent at least three days prior to arrival.

• Dogs must not make excessive noise
• Dogs must be crated when left in the property and must not be left unattended for any undue length of time
• Guest must observe all local rules, regulations and ordinances regarding pets at all time

If Dogs cause any damage, or the property requires additional cleaning the guest will be charged the cost of any repairs or clean up. If a security deposit has been paid it will be deducted. If there is no security deposit then the guest authorizes their credit card to be charged directly for the repair or clean up cost.  

We do NOT allow any animals other than DOGS, this means NO cats, NO birds (especially NO Parrots), NO livestock or other farm animals (Incuding domesticated pigs), NO insects, NO reptiles, NO Spiders, NO Ponies or other Horses and other 'exotic' pets.  In fact NOTHING OTHER THAN DOGS. (NO we don't allow dog-wolf hybrids either). This clause is dedicated to Airbnb and its guests who can't read or don't understand that parrots are not dogs. 

If you bring a non-approved Pet into the home there is a $500 clean up charge that will be applied to your account for each day the non-approved pet is present.
