Cottage Pets Policy
Short of banning pets completely, I ask that the pet rules be followed.
They must not be allowed to roam around on the beach. When outside, dogs are to be on a leash at all times including while on the beach. Please don’t let them run up to anyone.
Pets must be free of fleas , must not be left alone to bark, stool must be cleaned up. Aggressive pets, pets that are not well trained and managed are not welcome and are not wanted. I do not want pets on the beds, carpets or upholstered chairs. Hair is terribly hard to vacuum.
In times past, though I have asked that the dogs be tied up at all times when outside on occasion this request has been ignored which has resulted with unpleasant neighbor exchanges. This can be avoided if tenants are faithful in keeping the dog tied up even if they see someone else's dog running loose.
Often other cottages are not occupied, but the owners of other properties keep an eye out for the vacant properties so it is important even if other properties are vacant that you not allow your pets to run loose.
Neighbors, should you meet them, can be most pleasant and agreeable but stray dogs on their property will understandably test their patience. If pets are well managed and tied up there should be no problem and the unpleasant exchanges will be avoided.
Lots of pets have come to my cottage and enjoyed their stay too, as it should be. If the above is followed they are most certainly welcome.
