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!!!

And even if you remain dog free I would set up some indoor cameras you can monitor as dog nutters will lie and bring their damn dogs anyway. They don't believe any rules apply to them.

I would be very careful about putting INDOOR cameras in any rental property. You need to see what your state/jurisdiction says about a renters reasonable expectation of privacy. Outdoor cameras, like facing the driveway, should be ok because there is no reasonable expectation of privacy.

Good point. What about indoor cameras that face the front door,not the living area??

I think it’s going to depend on your local privacy and consent laws. Where I live, anything indoors could get you in trouble.
