Add a pet fee for home listings

Guests love travelling with their pets – they’re part of the family. To make it even easier for hosts to welcome pets, you can add a pet fee to your pricing.

How pet fees work

Guests can say how many pets (0–5) they plan to bring, which you as a host can review. If you choose to charge a pet fee. It’ll be shown both as part of the nightly rate and in the total price at checkout.

If you’d previously selected “No pets allowed” but now want to include a pet fee, you’ll get a message explaining that your listing will be changed to “Pets allowed”. You can charge a flat fee that covers multiple pets, but your pet fee can’t be more than your nightly base rate.

Cover the cost of cleaning

Pet fees should only be used to cover the cost of the expected cleaning you'd do after hosting furry guests. For unexpected damages, you have AirCover, which offers $3 million USD in damage protection.

Service animals always stay for free

If a service animal damages your property, you can still request payment under AirCover through the Airbnb Resolution Centre. For more information about service animals, emotional support animals and fees, read about our Accessibility Policy.
