Many people love to travel with their pets, and if your Turkey property is accepting of furry friends then you will stand out from the other holiday rentals and reach out to a larger market. This could help you get more bookings at your Turkey property and increase your income. However, is your Turkey property pet-friendly and have you thought about all of the additional details that come with welcoming pets?

Charge a Bit Extra

It is a commonly accepted practice to charge a small extra fee to your guests who are bringing their pets. It doesn’t have to be a lot, and it is usually around Ј10-Ј20 per animal. This will help you cover the additional cleaning and set up costs that you will have as a result of welcoming pets to your Turkey property. Make sure that this extra fee is clearly stated in your property listing so that guests are not surprised by the extra charge when they arrive.

Odours and Pet Hair

Letting Fido or Fluffy stay over at your Turkey property means that when your guests leave you might have some doggie smells or kitty hairs to deal with. It’s important to clean the property well so that this pet evidence doesn’t scare away any other guests who don’t like pets. After each guest, open all of the doors and windows to air out the property well. Vacuum all pet hair out of the carpets and upholstery. You can ask your guests to make sure to keep their pets out of the bedroom and off the furniture, and provide cleaning supplies at the property so that guests can clean up after their pets during their stay.

Making Your Turkey Property More Pet Friendly

·        Arrange the furniture so that there is enough floor space for a dog to lie down and for your guests to move around them easily.

·        Can guests close off the bedroom area? If the living area and the bedroom are not separate, such as in a studio apartment, it will be difficult to keep a dog or a cat off the bed.

·        You can supply plastic baby gates so that guests can restrict their dogs from going to different parts of the house.

·        Remove all expensive and fragile furnishings. Make it clear that your guests are not to leave dogs unattended in the house, as they can be known to chew and damage furniture.

·        Does the property have a secure fence around it so that guests can let their animals outside without worrying about them running away?

·        Provide pet essentials in your home such as a set of water and food bowls, waste bags, a shovel, old towels, and tennis balls for playing fetch.

·        To go above and beyond and really impress the guests of your Turkey property, provide a list of nearby pet-friendly activities such as local parks, walking trails, lakes, and nature hikes.

These are just a few ways that you can make your Turkey property more pet friendly and ensure that your four-legged guests are just as welcome as your two-legged ones!
