Should I Allow Dogs at My Vacation Rental? (3 Pros & Cons)

“Should I allow dogs at my vacation rental?” is probably one of the most asked questions when investors put up their new listings. While many of us are pet-friendly in our own homes, things can get a little hazy when hosting a short-term rental. Everyone thinks that their pet is a “good boy” or “good girl” but, if you’ve ever taken your pet on vacation, you know how much of a mess they can make.

Dog lover and short-term rental expert, Avery Carl, has always had a soft spot for our four-legged furry friends...except when it comes to her vacation rentals. While most hosts forbid having pets on the property, a small niche of property owners grant pet permission, allowing them to target traveling pet owners and make an extra chunk of rent as a reward.

The question remains: Is that extra pet fee worth the weird stain on your rug? Watch to find out!
