Pet Fees

Pet Fees

I'm so irritated with having to use Resolutions to add a Pet Fee.  Most of my guests bring their dogs. Guests get irritated too!  If the guest hasn't paid their rent in full, you can't even send a request for money.  Also there is no documentation on the reservation that it has been sent and/or paid.  You have to actually go to Resolutions and back out to see if you requested it and if they paid in full.

 

I have had guests at the last minute Zelle me, but I want to keep it in the system.  On top of all that, if a guest uses the Airbnb app, there is NO link.  They have to go to the actual website. or call Airbnb customer service.

 

Is there another way to pay Pet Fees through Airbnb that I don't know about?

FYI I just sent the message below to AirBnB via the Feedback link

https://www.airbnb.com/help/feedback

 

I encourage the hundreds of hosts who are utterly frustrated with Air's block-headed intransigence to consistently and relentlessly post their viewpoints.

 

There is strength in numbers and, if enough of us keep "fighting the good fight," Air will likely eventually get the peanut butter out of their ears and wise up! 😠

 

"The Only Thing Necessary for the Triumph of Evil is that Good Men Do Nothing!"

My message:

 

Rolling over and taking the weak viewpoint that "that's just the way it is," is exactly why we had people getting away with burning up our cities and why we have massive illegal immigration in this America!

 

Expressing a viewpoint and consistently attempting to right a wrong is how good prevails over lunacy.

 

Simply accepting that Air won't do anything is tantamount to saying that their stupid decision making is OK - It's NOT!

 

To be redundant; using the Resolution method of collecting pet fees is inefficient, tedious, ineffective and STUPID!

 

Air could fix this in a day! And they should do so immediately or, at the very least, try to come up with some rational explanation for refusing to do so!

 

VRBO has had this feature for years! The fact that Air not only refuses to do so, but will not even provide any rational reasoning for not doing so, is indicative of a boneheaded, foolish, and intransigent management team that could care less about the people that generate their paychecks!

 

The way you fix that is to consistently and relentlessly do what you can to make them aware that they are being idiots! Sooner or later the lights will come on and they will realize that their ridiculous policies are in need of review.

 

Why is this so hard for them to understand?

@Catherine2479  Hi, I have just received a message from Airbnb that we can now include a pet fee. I believe it is coming soon and that is fabulous news as I also have struggled with how to include a pet fee. To date 99% of our guests with pets have been absolutely fabulous and so i just wanted a flat fee to cover the extra cleaning. Am really looking forward to using the new feature.
