I wanted to give this Airbnb a great review, because the house was clean and the owner was friendly and helpful once she finally responded to my messages. But if you are planning on bringing your dog with you, or if you don’t want to see dog neglect, I would not recommend staying here unfortunately.
We chose to rent this house for the week because we had our two dogs traveling with us, and there was a fenced in backyard, but also close to downtown. Well, when we first arrived at the house, we noticed three large dogs that were chained up outside on the other side of the chain link fence. Those dogs were not brought inside once the entire time we were staying, and they barked all the time. One of their dogs kept digging under the fence and getting stuck on our side of the yard. This happened 4+ times. We had to walk over to the neighbors house multiple times and ask them to bring their dog back over. One night, this dog was stuck with less than a foot of leash on our side of the yard for an entire night in the pouring rain. Because of the dog being on our side of the yard, we were not able to let our dogs out in the backyard until the last night when the neighbor finally moved the dog further away from the fence. I had messaged the owner the first night about the situation and a door lock not working, but I didn’t receive a message back until our last day there. I called animal control, but unfortunately not much was done. After going through older reviews, it was very disappointing to see other peoples reviews (from back in April) talking about the same issues, the neglect of these dogs, and the fact that weren’t able to use the backyard either.
The whole reason we chose this house was because it was dog friendly and had a fenced in backyard. With the situation of us not being able to even use the yard at all, I feel it would only be fair to receive a partial refund due to the fact that it was not safe for our dogs to use the amenities of the yard we paid for.
