@Ale113 All good questions: I'll try and give you some answers.
- Extra effort for cleaning? (products, professional, smells, fur...)
- Doesn't really make much of a difference. We offer paw towels and old sheets to place on furniture, and haven't found it to be substantially more work. You get the odd dog that sheds more than others, but we have a pet Dyson and find it takes care of it pretty well.
- Do you accept guest coming at the same day a guest is leaving? Because of the cleaning.
- Yes we do, and we've never had a problem. We've had way more issues with dirty human guests than dog guests.
- Do you avoid some breeds?
- No we don't. We have had dogs of all sizes stay, and we haven't had a problem with specific dog breeds. I specifically won't limit size because as an owner of larger dogs, it's super difficult to find a place to stay. I find that the smaller dogs tend to be the yappers/barkers.
- Have you had any issue between your dogs and guests' ones?
- We never have, but the interaction between our dogs and guest dogs are limited because only the yard is shared. We always watch them if they meet. I personally wouldn't allow unsupervised interaction.
- Do you allow owners leaving the dog alone at home?
- Yes we do. Some hosts require that dogs are crated when the guest leaves the property: we don't require it. Some people choose to crate them anyways, because they know that's what their dog needs. It's never been a problem for us.
- Any issue with poos, pii, dirtiness?
- We have the odd guest who doesn't pick up outside poo, which is annoying, but I'm scooping all the time anyways, so not a huge deal. Inside, we have never seen evidence of an accident. If one has happened, the guest has done an impeccable job of cleaning it up.
- Do you ask for the vacunation details, illnesses or corrent infections?
- No, we don't. Our dogs are fully vaccinated, and we leave it at that.
I really enjoy hosting dogs, and I haven't found it to be an inconvenience. You do get the odd barker, but they're few and far between. I've never hosted a dog that barked all the time: that would drive me nuts.
