Pet Policy

​​

Sundogs Bed and Breakfast is 100% dog friendly. We invite those who travel with their 4-legged friends to take advantage of all of the pet friendly venues in the local area. The local National Parks (Antietem, Harpers Ferry, and the C&O Canal) are ideal locales to explore with your dog. Shepherdstown also has dog friendly restaurants (even inside!) and shops. See our Pet Friendly page for a complete listing.

​

    • Your pet is clean and treated for fleas and ticks

    • Your pet is never left unattended at the inn when you are off-property. Sundogs does not offer pet sitting services. Pet sitting services are available nearby at 3 Dog Farm
