Here are a few of my top tips for making your property pet-friendly:Research local pet fees: Ensure your pet fees are competitive while still allowing you to cover potential wear and tear and make a profit.Set a pet limit: Specify the maximum number of pets allowed on your short-term rental platforms and highlight this in multiple areas of your listing, including your property rules.Provide pet essentials: Invest in items like a large dog crate and pet food bowls for guest use.Create clear pet rules: Share these rules with guests during check-in.

In addition to looking at their reviews, see who wins the SEO war if there are multiple PMs with direct booking sites.Google the lake name + cabin or rental house and see who pops to the top.One other question I like is "What makes you different?"
