As a short-term rental host, you may receive booking requests from guests with service animals. Understanding the rules and best practices for handling these requests ensures that you remain compliant with platform policies while providing an inclusive and welcoming experience.

This guide explains how SHD helps hosts manage service animal requests, what the policies are, and how to handle concerns related to these requests, including pet fees for non-service animals.

Accidents happen, but SuperHost Depot (SHD) makes it easy for hosts to file damage claims and recover costs. Whether a guest damages furniture, breaks an appliance, or causes excessive cleaning needs, SHD ensures a smooth and efficient claims process.
