Dog Friendly rentals?....Yea RIGHT!

Heading out end of December to Wellington, planning on staying in a hotel for 1 week then hunting for perminant place to stay (gonna camp til we find somewhere). Looking for a house on a budget of $400 per week MAX, looking at lower hutt area, liking the look of Petone. All very simple....?
PROBLEM is the dog, ALL rentals say no dogs!? Anyone know of ANY private landlords that are willing to rent to a very sensible couple and one very well behaved doggy....
Hope ya'll can help!

My sister in law had the same problem.
She was completely knocked back by the agent when looking, but met the owners and explained her situation.
They were cool as with no added bond.
Accept that most rentals are advertised as no pets, but you can get round it.

Re: Dog Friendly rentals?....Yea RIGHT!
We had the same problem, but there was no way I would have camped...
We found one through Trademe, lots of them said no dogs, but contact them anyway and most people are understanding.
We didn't have to pay any extra bond or anything and the landlord came to add gates and fences so Molly wouldn't escape.

Our pooch is not of that type who could survive 5 mins let alone a few hours in the outdoors so we made sure the landlord understood she would be in. You need to manage that particular expectation. But we haven't had any issues at all with our landlord he really likes the dog. Good luck

Dog Friendly country?......Yea RIGHT!
Seriously lacking anywhere to walk dogs here. So much open space but you can't walk over it.

All you need to do is talk to the vendor, agent, and say the cost of bringing your pet over cost more then you so you would not be bringing a pet that does any damage, But a pet that is part of the family you could offer to pay extra on the bond, and you will have the carpets cleaned to a good standard when you leave( many ask for this any way) hope you get sorted.

I have walked mine in Burwood Forest people take dogs in but lots are not under control people on bikes, people running, people on Horses back, all letting dogs run round all over the show with little control.
Now I take her to the beach and found a good long walking track out at Woodend and just love it but it is still not the same as the North Yorkshire Moors.

I think the restrictions are in place to protect bird eggs and wildlife? To be fair I know that if ours sniffed out an egg she'd eat it before we'd have a chance to pull her off. She's great off the lead on the whole but we keep her on when we see people with picnics etc (nightmare once she stole a huge slab of pate when she was a pup off someone's romantic picnic layout on Hampstead Heath we were mortified ).

Re: Dog Friendly rentals?....Yea RIGHT!
You're right. We have enclosed bush walks and tracks up local mountains but dogs are not allowed because of protecting birds.....I don't think there is much else in the way of wildlife. Everthing else seems to be classed as a pest. they are always poisoning and trapping in these areas.
Different if you have a pig dog. you can keep them in tiny cages all week and then take them wherever you want to rip apart 'the wildlife'.

It was a 3 bedroom bach used by the owner who also had a dog. When she went away she rented it out.
We rented it through Eves rental office in the Mt.
Renting long term was another story- we couldn't find a rental that would accept us with the dog so we ended up buying a house within 8 weeks of arriving in NZ.
