Pet-Friendly

What are the benefits of allowing pets in my rental property?

‍Pet-friendly listings attract a wider market of travellers, particularly families and domestic tourists, often commanding 10-20% higher nightly rates. These bookings typically have longer durations and lower cancellation rates, providing more stable income.

What precautions should I take with pet-friendly rentals?

‍Implement a clear pet policy covering:

• Size/number restrictions
• Required vaccinations
• Off-limit areas (furniture/beds)
• Additional cleaning fees
• Damage deposit requirements

Consider durable flooring and secure outdoor spaces to minimise wear.

How much extra should I charge for pet-friendly stays?

‍Some hosts include include an additional cleaning fee and a refundable pet bond ($200-500) for potential damages. Premium pet amenities (bowls, beds) can justify higher rates.
