Dog Waiver

Last Updated: January 1, 2025

At Timber House Lodge, we understand that your dog is just as much a part of the family as other members. We’re thrilled to be a pet-friendly hotel in Chester, CA, and welcome one dog per room up to 40 pounds in select rooms. To ensure that all our visitors have an enjoyable stay, we ask guests traveling with their four-legged friends to sign the policy below upon check-in.

• My dog weighs 40 pounds or less.
• I understand that only one dog is allowed per guest room.
• My dog’s vaccinations are up-to-date, and he or she is free of fleas or ticks.
• My dog is not aggressive and is well-socialized with other animals and guests.
• I agree to clean up after my dog and properly dispose of any waste.
• I understand that my dog is not allowed on the furniture.
• My dog will be with me and under my care at all times, as they are not to be left unattended on the property unless in a secured kennel in the room. Dogs left unattended for longer than one hour will be removed from the room by management.
• I understand that Housekeeping will not enter my room with an unattended dog inside. My dog must be restrained or removed from the guest room while the hotel staff is present working in the room. I will assume responsibility for notifying the staff if there are special times for servicing my room.
• My dog will be on a leash with a maximum range of six feet or in a carrier at all times when outside of the room.
• I understand there is a $300.00 cleaning fee, determined solely by management, for a room left in an unsatisfactory condition.
• I further understand that this fee does not include any additional costs which may result from damage.
• I know an additional charge will apply if excessive cleaning is necessary. I also agree that the condition of the room is based on the sole judgment of management upon my departure.
• As a dog owner, I am liable for any disturbances my pet causes to guests staying at Timber House Lodge. I understand that a charge of up to $500 may be applied to any disturbances.
• Timber House Lodge is not liable for any injury suffered by a dog while on hotel premises.
• I accept full responsibility for any liability arising from my pet (pet damage or personal injury to hotel, hotel staff, guest, third party, or property).
• I acknowledge that I have been informed of Timber House Lodge’s pet-friendly policies and procedures. I know that I may be responsible for additional fees if damage, excessive noise, and/or flea infestation occurs during my stay.
