I have a small Covered Wagon STR that I am considering making pet friendly to help drive more traffic and so I don't have to keep denying booking request or inquires.   

The area it is parked on is gravel.  We do not have a fence up at this time.  The interior floor is wood with some insulation below it.   

I am considering putting in plank flooring to seal and protect the wood and insulation.   

Maybe a small kennel area and doghouse with artificial grass outside close to the Wagon.

Any direction on linens to use in a pet friendly space? 

Any cleaners that work really well to keep out pet odor? 

How do you add a pet fee only to the people with pets with price labs? 

What kind of pet fees should be charged? 

What limits do you put on the pets?  dogs only, dogs and cats only, no Bird or exotic animals? 

How much extra do you pay cleaners for a stay with pets? 

Any direction or stories you can share to help us make the final decision to help us decide to do this or not would be greatly appreciated.

I allow pets at most all of my listings, with very few problems.   Most people bring their own kennels, sleep pads, food, etc.   I keep food bowls around, but that’s about it.  Very few issues with the cleaners.   I typically charge an additional $75, non refundable pet fee, which is never a problem for guests.   I do ask that they refrain from allowing dogs on the furniture and from sleeping on the beds.

 

Although I’m a cat lover, I typically don’t allow cats (and get very few requests from guests to bring their cats), as they often pick at the furniture, and the smell of cat urine is extremely difficult to get rid of.
