I have a NO PETS policy in place for Carole-Belle Cottage, Blue Diamond Apartment, and Pumpkin Cottage.  >>>>However, it is my pleasure to accept your genuine ADA service dog at these houses following proper procedure.   >>>>I do NOT accept emotional support animals (ESAs) at these houses.   Please DO NOT ASK.

Please note —- NO animals are ever accepted at Hunterston Cottage due to this being my family home and I have a family member who is deathly allergic to dogs, cats, and other animals and that family member is also protected under the law.

For Wizard World Cottage and HoneyBee Cottage — Pets and ESAs ACCEPTED with fees. If you do NOT declare your furry companion, I will charge double the PET fees because I will assume you are trying to be sneaky and NOT pay the fee. Genuine ADA Service Animals are accepted without a fee but MUST BE DECLARED IN ADVANCE.  Please note that you need to have proof of up-to-date vaccinations on cats and dogs — specifically RABIES vaccination which is required by city code. 

++I reserve the right to charge a damage deposit of up to $100 if I find even ONE flea in the house after you check out.  This is to cover the cost of “bombing” the house and other remediation products.  Please make sure your animal(s) are flea/tick free before staying!

ADA SERVICE DOG INFORMATION

️If you are bringing a genuine SERVICE DOG, please send me a message answering the following questions legally allowed by the ADA regarding your service dog.
(Answers are REQUIRED)

1. Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?

2. What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?

I have strict guidelines for those who wish to bring their Service Animal.

Please read thoroughly and let me know if you have any questions.

*Under the ADA, service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless these devices interfere with the service animal’s work or the individual’s disability prevents using these devices. In that case, the individual must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective controls.

*A Service animal staying on my property is NOT allowed to be left in the home alone at any time during your stay. This means not even left alone in a crate. You must take the animal with you anytime you leave the house.

*The service animal must be house trained to urinate and have bowel movements outside. Indoor piddle pads are NOT allowed.

*I will ask you to remove your service animal and/or leave for excessive barking, aggressive or damaging behavior or lack of sanitation.

*Please keep your service animal off the counters. No animals are permitted on the furniture unless specifically needed for your disability.

*You and your Service Animal will be asked to leave if we discover misrepresentation of a pet as a Service Animal. I will report fraudulent claims of Service Animals to government authorities and will evict the guest(s) without further notice in such cases. If this occurs, there will be no right to a refund and I reserve the right to collect damages.

*Your service animal must be clean and free from offensive odors.

•I will ask you to remove your Service Animal if the animal is out of control and the animal’s handler does not take effective action to control it or if the animal is not housebroken.

•Please clean up defecations from yard immediately. Bring your own baggies and dispose in the trash can.

A walk through will be done immediately after your check out to ensure your service animal has not urinated or defecated in the home or caused any damage. Fees will be assessed for any damages or deep cleaning necessary due to potty issues or fur.

Thank you for working together to make this a lovely experience for you and for my future guests.

** As per Oklahoma state law, it is a misdemeanor to impersonate a person with a disability or use a fake or counterfeit service animal. In such situations, law enforcement officials have the authority to ask for proof of the animal’s service training and may remove the animal from public places if it is deemed to be causing disruption or danger. If an individual knowingly misrepresents an animal as a service animal, they may face fines and even jail time in some cases.

Businesses in Oklahoma can request proof of disability or identification papers from the owner of a registered service animal. Under state and federal law, businesses are allowed to ask for documentation that verifies the individual’s disability and need for a service animal. This could include a doctor’s note or certification from a recognized training organization.
