Owners tend to be apprehensive about allowing pets into their home. However, they rarely cause any issue at all, as long as you’ve made an effort to do a little pup proofing around the house you will be able to offer a holiday for the whole family, increasing your bookings and income! Starting from the bottom Carpets! Let's be honest its inevitable there will be an accident at some point, so it may pay to get rid of the carpets at least on the ground floor perhaps. A lot of holiday let owners ask to keep the pups downstairs allowing them to have nice cosy carpets in the bedrooms upstairs. Keeping carpets is risky as they will hold odours and fur causing extra cleaning time, and time is money so it may pay to look for alternative floor coverings. High quality laminate with good scratch resistance is a great cost-effective option.
