There are pets (bird and dog) that live on the property when it is not being rented out. A parakeet that the host will ask you to take care of. We declined due to allergy concerns and she was able to house the bird with a friend (along with a dog). My allergies to dogs were mentioned in the message regarding to the bird but she didn’t mention that a dog usually resides there too. This led to some allergy discomfort but otherwise the place was very nice. Larger than it seems in the photo and very charming!
