Im curious as to The charges other host charge for pets! Do you charge a nightly rate or weekly rate or how does that work and is there an extra deposit I’ve had one couple show up a day later than they were supposed to with a pet I have a weight limit of up to 40 or 50 pounds Their dog had to weigh at least 150 or 60 pounds. Their house had been damaged and I couldn’t refuse them and they stayed for five months. The dog was black and the size of a small bear when they left, it took me four days to clean the apartment. There was black dog hair everywhere. I wasn’t sure how to handle that situation because they really had no place to go. Any advice for future pet owners, I would appreciate. the couple that just left brought a young dog. The weight was OK. The dog was precious, but the dog was left uncaged and was ripping around the apartment and barking wildly. I ended up getting permission and bringing the dog up into my quarters. The dog was frightened and afraid being in a strange place, but settle down quickly after he was with my family and me.
