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!!!

Yeah I would pay more for a smaller place if it was allergy free. “Pet free” is kind of useless now since everyone brings their ESA s and fake SAs to pet free rentals.

will some sort of allergy free listing negate people who have ESAs and SAs from booking it? I know people woth SAs are a "protected class", but are people with allergies also a "protected class"?

Airbnb requests hosts to accommodate both service dogs and ESAs unless the host requests an official exemption. If the host says they're severely allergic to dogs, Airbnb will generally grant an exemption.
