Pet Policy
We love pets at Colonial Gardens! Here are the house policies so you and the other guests will have a pleasant and safe stay with us:
- Pets are not allowed in the guest rooms without supervision except during breakfast, as pets are not allowed in the dining area.
- Pets must be kept on a leash at all times in the house and on the property.
- Except for isolated incidents, barking is not tolerated out of respect for your fellow guests. If your dog is a barker, you must board or make other arrangements immediately. We have honeymooners, wedding anniversaries, etc. and cannot allow our other guests to be disturbed.
- Pets may be pottied in the front yard, and debris must be cleaned up immediately after. If you need plastic bags, please let us know. The backyard is a private area for the owners so no pets or foot traffic is allowed.
- All pets must be fully up to date on vaccines and proof of currency must be supplied at check-in.
- If your pet damages the Bed and Breakfast property, you will be responsible for the damages and the cost to repair or replace any damaged property will be charged to your card on file.
- No pets are allowed on the furniture at any time. Please let us know if your pet typically sleeps with you so we may provide a blanket that will not be damaged by pet hair, smell, or messes in order to protect our bedding.
NO PETS ON THE SHEETS, TOWELS OR OUR WHITE COMFORTERS.
If your pet has an accident on the floor or carpet, inform us so we can take proper measures to clean it up. Do not clean the mess yourself, as we have special enzymatic cleaners that are not compatible with other types of products. You are responsible for the replacement of rugs or furniture if accidents cannot be cleaned effectively.
Our continued pet-friendly status depends on your cooperation. Thank you in advance for your compliance.
Sincerely,
Colonial Gardens Bed & Breakfast
