Advice on STR pets appreciated

I'm considering allowing pets (dogs only) at one of our listings to beef up the bookings and increase revenue (I hope). I've always been anti pets because I've seen what they can do and have cleaned up quite a few back in my construction days, so I'm prejudiced, but the missus wants to give it a try.....

So questions: 

Dogs only seems a no-brainer? 

Size restrictions? 

Breeds? 

How many max (I think 2?) 

Extra charge - per night, per dog, per trip? $60?

Sign separate agreement?

TIA

Thanks all! I think this one place is a good dog STR. No carpet, all hardwood floors, nice back yard that is all fenced, and beautifully shaded in the summer.

I am going to redo this listing today (new pics, raise prices, etc) so I think I will take a shot at the dog thing. I have never liked them at LTRs as @JD Martin mentioned, but this is worth a try. I am an animal lover with 2 big ole mutts, horses and goats also so I know people like to travel with their babies....

I will let y'all know how this goes...
