How To Become a Pet-Friendly Airbnb or Short Term Rental

Do you travel with your dog? Have a short term rental and considering becoming pet friendly? We've got some thoughts: https://www.stayprofamilia.com/post/how-to-become-a-pet-friendly-airbnb-or-short-term-rental

How To Become a Pet-Friendly Airbnb or Short Term Rental As guardians of our own 65 lb. English Bulldog/Pitball mix named Odin, we believe there are many benefits to becoming a pet-friendly airbnb or short-term rental. Not only will your guests and their pets feel welcome, but you can also attract more business. When we started our short term rental busin...

I had my own personal “whoopsie daisy” today! I was feeling snappy and thought I’d do a live IG video on my way to another estate sale.

Thing is…I hadn’t ended the stream when I thought I did! 🤦🏼‍♀️ So three of my lucky followers @goldberggirl @keepaustinyoung and @kristeng30 got quite a show! 🤣

I’m so glad that I didn’t burp, fart, pick my nose or do any other unpleasantry while I was live for the whole world to see!

Here’s to better luck next time, friends! 🍻

It’s a sad day for all people of Earth, especially those in Ukraine. We are one kind, human kind. At Pro Familia Homes, we believe people are far more similar than they are different.

Let’s be kind to one another. ❤️🇺🇦

After a bit of radio silence, we’re back! 🛸

Here’s a recap of the past few weeks, we’ve:
- nailed down the plans for our garage reno (& future short term rental)!
- onboarded the 1st property (of many!) to Pro Familia Homes collection
- moved The Lodge OKC #1 supply closet into the garage so we can start renovating the back room (& offer guests backyard access from inside the house)
- signed on to @breezeway.io for our turnover, inspection, maintenance and inventory mgmt systems
- gotten lots of Odin snuggles to help us stay sane!

Here’s to hoppin’ on that regular posting social media train again! Wish us luck!

Since starting this journey into short term rentals, we’ve met some stellar local hosts, like Brittany over at The Holiday House and Brandy at The Gate House. 😊

This card (originally from @dnagalleries, minus my personal edits 🤣) perfectly embodies most of our conversations.
Hosting is more fun when you’re surrounded with like-minded hosts, who believe when the guest experience is #1, the financial rewards will always follow.

Why in the heck would we have "Number of Guests" included in our House Rules? Let me tell you. :)

Our properties have a maximum capacity. This is for the guest's safety and for the safety of the property. Letting guests know that we are actively engaged with the property and keeping an eye on who is on the premises also helps with guest screening.

For each booking, we require our guests to complete Pre-Arrival form and provide the name and age of each of the guest. AND it's another opportunity to reiterate that only the number of guests stated on the reservation are allowed.

Without the great training and education from my friends at @thanksforvisiting_ I wouldn't have thought about this rule, but it's a goodie!

When someone from your local community is looking to book your place, it could spell trouble (especially if it's a one night stay). When locals are inquiring to book, it's may be because they need a spot to have a party. This is a big red flag!

As a host, if you're on the lookout for local bookings, there are some things you can do:

- Call the guest and see what they're up to
- If you get bad vibes about the booking, you can cancel it (just be mindful that if you cancel too many bookings on the OTAs, you can be penalized)

In our experience, most locals that book have legit reasons for needing a place to stay...but there's always that one booking that will try to pull a fast one on you.

Be an attentive and responsible host and you & your guests will both have a great experience!

Paging Captain Obvious! This simple House Rule is straightforward. Every host's nightmare is to get a call from a neighbor, or worse, the cops that there is a raging party happening at their short term rental.

Don't get me wrong...we're not fun haters! What we want to avoid are secret, hidden parties.

Is the guest looking for a space for a baby shower? A space for a family celebration or graduation party?

We're reasonable people. Just talk to us. If guests will share their ideas, we can see if our space would be a good fit. Maybe the answer is "yes" or maybe it's still a "no". Either way, a guest that is honest and upfront about their plans is the best way to ensure that everyone has as successful stay.
