Pet friendly business listing

[Terrill0]

Good Morning, I am new to hosting and have been making my place as accessible to guests as possible. I am one qualification shy of being "business ready" Which is too bad because my unit is 4 season and perfect for Maine's many temp workers in the Midcoast. The thing that makes me ineligible is actually the reason that many guests say they book our cabin! It is our dog who does not stay in the cabin, but rather is on site. Being a pet lover I can't believe this a requirement for business ready hosting. What do you think? I should also mention we know many people rent rooms specifically because they are alergic to pets. Since our dog does not go in the cabin we don't have to worry about our guests experiencing uncomfortable allergic reactions.

Your listing does not allow pets, @Terrill0, right?  However you have a pet that is in some shared space like the yard, right?  Not sure how your listing would be impacted by being business friendly.  A business traveler can book anywhere, so if that traveler is interested in your wonderful semi off the grid place, they would just book.  

If you really want to pursue the business ready badge perhaps if you limited the dog access to any shared outdoor space, you would meet the requirements.  If you want to contact Air BNB to discuss, here is a guide for that.
