Need Your Opinion 2 Quick Tenant Questions

Hey Guys!  Two questions for you...

I have a beautiful new rental I am currently screening tenants for.  Have a candidate (...or candidates) where credit, criminal Hx, rental Hx, income, etc.... are all GREAT. 

The two things that stand out (that I'd like some insight on are):

1)  The candidate is actually a woman and her sister.  Both in their later 40's.  No kids, and again......everything else looks great.  Any red flags with "roommates?"  If you rent tot hem, do you add them both to the lease, or choose one of them to be accountable?

2)  They have a 7 year old, medium size Golden Retriever.   They have provided references from multiple tenants and landlords stating that it is well behaved.  Once in the past, I rented to a family with a LARGE well behaved dog, and it worked out perfectly, but feels risky.  Your thoughts?

Thx guys!
