STR hosts who allow pets, ever had a flea problem?

I have several STR's and do not allow pets in any of them. I am thinking of allowing pets at one of my SFH STR's. I would ask any guest bringing a pet for a shot record to prove that they are a responsible pet owner. I'd also require that the pet is on flea & tick preventative. My biggest worry would be a dog that brings fleas into the house.

Any of you Air Bnb or VRBO hosts who allow pets. Has your STR ever been infested with fleas from a guest's pet? If so, how did you handle it?

I have had tons of pet dogs. Made good money on pet fees and never had any problems with fleas.
