Pets and STRs: worth the "hassle"?

[Bo A Vanecko]

curious if people feel allowing pets is a plus or minus in short term rentals?  i can see people local in CO liking the idea of bringing their pets up to the mountains with them.  that said a few things came to mind:

1)  so i can charge a fee either by day or total for the stay to help cover "extra cleaning" but do people Also charge a one time pet fee?

2)  do i risk losing customers who do not want to rent from a place that allows pets?

3)  are there too many accidents to warrant the extra fee?  

i also ask b/c i have a dog that i would like to bring up with us when we use the place.  so if i do that, should i advertise that we have our dog brought up with us periodically esp if we decide NOT to allow guests to bring a pet?

thanks in advance
