Pet Policy
All authorized pets in the Village are “household” pets and should be kept within the house the vast majority of time.
• Keep on a leash and under direct control at all times when not on your property. • Keep in a controlled area on the owner’s property, such as an approved dog run,
kennel or invisible fence.
• Clean up after your pets; there are mutt mitt receptacles located throughout the
Village for your convenience (see photo below).
• While this is not a covenant requirement of the community, vaccinations are
highly recommended for all dogs and cats, whether they spend time out of doors or not. Potential contact with the wildlife in our community is possible even if your household pet is primarily an indoor pet, and this contact could result in illness.
• Emergency Services will issue a Notice of Violation if they observe a dog off- leash or if a violation is reported.
If you are interested in connecting with a teenager in the community to walk your pet or pet sit for you, see pages 138-139 of this directory in the “Village Helpers” tab.
