Cleaning costs and pet fees

David Zimmer

How do you handle the combination of charging pet fees and cleaning fees? Do the cleaners make more money if there is a pet? Does your cleaner just charge "per turn" regardless of a pet or not? 

I'm paying my cleaner $150 for an 1800 sqft 2/2.5 and they seem to want more depending on if there was a pet. I'd like to find out what a somewhat standard practice out there looks like. Maybe there is a way to find the median cleaning costs in my area?

my cleaners do charge extra if there is a pet, as they said extra is involved. I let them know I would expect a refund if a guest complains about dog hair or something else pet related. I'm fine if it ensures a good clean, just dont phone it in.
