First and foremost we arrived early and the homeowner was still there cleaning, I specifically introduced myself and had asked if it was ok to walk my dogs around the neighborhood on leashes while she finished up cleaning the cottage, the moment we met there was a distinct feeling that she was feeling annoyed or “ put out” we certainly were not made to feel “ welcome “ in ANYWAY. I was immediately told not to walk my dogs past the home to the left of the cottage as there are 2 rescue dogs that live there that are very “ reactive “ to other dogs, fine no problem we went the opposite direction. I have been a dog trainer for 25 years, my dogs go where I go or we don’t go, period. I do not lie or omit I’m bringing my dogs with ANYONE they are part of our family, this particular cottage/VRBO should absolutely NOT state it is a pet friendly cottage, we have stayed in MANY places and I have never had a place be more NON pet friendly in my life. There is absolutely not one blade of grass on this property for your dog to relieve itself anywhere, the entire lot is gravel, my dogs do not go to the restroom on gravel, each time my dog needed to use the restroom they had to be loaded up in my vehicle and driven to a public grassy area, this is absolutely ridiculous and clearly put a damper on our stay. The neighbors directly next door had rescues that barked NON STOP at every single movement we made. It is beyond clear the owners wanted to collect the fee for pets but wanted NONE there.
