PETS WELCOME
You don't have to leave your furry friend behind! Well-behaved pets are welcome at Rewild Cottage. Know that the yard isn't fenced and there is a resident dog in the other house on the property, so it's best to keep your pup leashed whenever you go outside. We charge a flat $20 pet fee to help us clean and maintain a pet-friendly space. We also provide a pup kit, including:
✔ Food and water bowls
✔ Towels for wiping paws
✔ Sheets for protecting furniture
✔ Outdoor trash receptacle
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Highland Park is a closed loop residential street with little traffic, so it's very walkable. Residents are a mix of retirees and SF Bay Area transplants. Everyone drives slowly and there are many neighbors who take daily walks around the loop. Off-street parking is provided. Grocery stores and retail stores are 10 minutes drive.
