This would seal up the floor if you are going to rent it out again and allow pets.  

One of my pet peeves is lawn mowers that won't start no matter how many times you pull the cord, or push mowers (which I generally prefer) too dull to cut the grass.  

Hi BP people,The lease says no pets and tenants agreed to no pets. 

This is why many landlords prohibit pets or charge tenants additional money to have them on premise.

Will you have pets : __________?

I guess if you sum up my complaint it would be the lying, bringing in unauthorized pets and not communicating with me ahead of time, and not following some basic protocol of notifying me of long absences and excessive damage.

In my opinion properties well suited for vacation rentals have:A great location for touristsNear outdoor / recreation destinations (beach's, ski resorts, etc.)Near nature (on a river, lake, ocean, etc.)Or perhaps a great location for business / corporate housing (Downtown, near major companies, etc.)Decent demand year-round (If it sits vacant 40 weeks out of the year you would be better off with a long-term tenant).Great amenities (WiFi, TV, Furnishings, Linens, Coffee, small appliances, etc.)Accept credit card paymentsPool / Hot Tub is a nice bonusOutdoor space at the property (Deck, balcony, patio, BBQ area, etc.)Pet friendly (not required, but will get you more interest)If your property seems to meet many of the above characteristics it is probably well-suited for a vacation rental.Some major differences you will need to figure out (compared to long-term)Who will do routine housekeepingHow will you get the guests moved in and out (lock box, in person, etc.)What laws govern your locationsWhat tax implications (bed tax, reporting, etc.) will you have to figure outHow much extra will you need to charge to make all the above worth it.

If they (the dogs) were in/on the lease, then rethink your pet policy.

If I advertise the property as "no pets" am I forced to consider a person that has a service dog? 

Instead she moved her friends into the unit and told them she paid a pet deposit - which there never was one.
