We are a pet-free rental by default, but exceptions may be made with prior written approval. If your pet is accepted, a non-refundable pet fee will apply. This is consistent with standard short-term rental practices and helps cover the additional cleaning and maintenance required after a pet stay. In some cases, a refundable damage deposit or a temporary hold on your credit card may also be required to cover any unexpected damage. By bringing a pet, you agree to take full financial responsibility for any damage, excessive cleaning, or policy violations that occur as a result of your pet’s stay.
