Pet Agreements
Our property management staff requires all guests that are bringing pets to notify us beforehand. They must fill out pet agreements disclosing that that pet is within acceptable breeds of the homeowner’s association restrictions and that they are potty trained. This will vet out the process of getting complaints from the vacation rentals next door and prevent damages in the homes.
42% of the Business
If your home is not currently pet-friendly, we suggest that you do so. Otherwise, you will be turning away 42% of the business. Our policy is that we require a property protection fee from guests before arriving that insures the home during their stay up to $500. This should cover any damages from the pet if the event arises. More occupancy means more income in your pocket each year. Don’t let the fear of a pet damaging the home hinder you from optimizing your income.
Start With Some Basics
We recommend getting a simple food and water bowl that is shiny with a little toy. Take a great quality picture to advertise that you are pet-friendly. If you have a pet at home, add this in your listing as well so the guest is more likely to feel comfortable booking with you. Our office dog has been known to greet guests who visit our office offering a more friendly atmosphere.
