  Per pet we charge a $50 cleaning fee per pet, but our English Setter loved it and we won't split up a family. Almost all breeds are ok but a few our insurance will not allow. Tenants are responsible for any damages; if you take care of our house like your Mom taught you we'll be fine for a great experience for all....moreless
