Other things to note
Elmerston House Pet/Dog Policy (Cats are not allowed)
As dog lovers ourselves we understand how our furry friends are part of the family and we are happy to welcome well behaved dogs into our home. We do you ask that you tell us about your pet prior to booking for approval.
Pet fee - We charge a pet fee of $75 for the first dog for the min. stay/week regardless of size. That fee is paid directly to host prior to arrival. This is not included in the stated nightly/weekly/monthly rate.
Pet Size - We allow up to 1 larger dog or 2 small dogs. An incremental second pet fee is also required.
We do have a yard with a tie out available, however the entire yard is not fenced in.
Please note: The pet fee is for the dogs occupancy in our home. It is NOT a deposit or used against any damages your pet may cause. It is not refundable. If a deposit is requested, that IS refundable as long as your pet does not cause damage to home or contents or create cause for additional cleaning of the home, contents, or yard and our pet policy is adhered to. This is also paid to host by check-in time . The pet deposit is $150 and refundable in full if no damage occurs or other occurrences stated above. Refunds usually within 3-6 days of check out after cleaners have assessed.
Age requirements - Dogs must be at least 2 years old - No puppies allowed
House trained - All dogs MUST be house trained
Training requirements - We do not accept any dogs that have been trained as guard dogs or as to be “dangerous ”.
HOUSE RULES for pets - We do NOT allow dogs on the beds, couches or chairs. If it’s been raining while out with your dog and he/she is wet or muddy, we ask that you dry your pet in the entryway areas please. Towels are provided. Prior to your departure, we also require that you remove any pet hair as this is not part of the regular cleaning process and can require additional cleaning time prior to new guests coming in. If required, additional cleaning fees can be charged against your deposit. We also require that you pick up after your pet. If we have to spend additional time poop scooping the yard, it will also go against your deposit.
Pets at Home -We require that if pets are to be left alone in the house that they be safely situated in their crate as opposed to confining them to a room. If your pet is left in a crate, we ask that owners be conscientious in not leaving your pet alone for excessively long periods. Just in case you do need to leave for a day, we know some affordable pet sitters/walkers. If you prefer not to bring a crate in your travels, let us know ahead of time and we may be able to make one available for an additional fee.
As we know some things don't always go as planned with our furry loved ones and if by chance some damage occurs, we will assess the damage and it would be charged against your pet or rental deposit.
NO CATS - Sorry, due to the fact that many people are allergic to cat dander, we do NOT allow cats.
We wish you and your pet a fun and enjoyable experience while staying at the Elmerston house. I think you’ll enjoy the area and your pet will especially enjoy the surrounding areas amenities including the canal path and parks that are easily accessible via a short walk. Thank you in advance for adhering to the policies set forth and please see the print out at check in for additional info.
Best,
Billy and Kathy
