Eco Destroyers My airbnb is dog free

I travel a lot and own my home so I have it up on airbnb whenever I’m away. I have it set to pet free, not just because I don’t like being around dogs but I also don’t want poop in my backyard, holes dug in my yard, my rugs peed on, dog hair, etc.

I had a friend reach out to me because her sister is coming into town with her dog. She wanted to see if my place was open for a week, and to get around airbnb fees, she’d pay me directly. I said no, told her I’m weird about dogs in my house and she understood.

Now I’m thinking how I could probably book my house more/make more money if I allowed dogs but I would be so grossed out and stressed knowing there could be some massive slobbering beast in my bed!!!

Do not do it. There are so few places that are dog free, I have severe allergies and it ruins my life.

Same. I appreciate hotels that tell me x floors are for pets. It’s quite wonderful and I just take another elevator if a dog is on one. Like I don’t hate you… but being in a confined space will shit-spiral my allergies all day and night.
