Potential tenant (offering $800 extra a month to allow pets)

I have a potential tenant asking me about a rental property to allow pets.  I told them I do not allow pets.  They really want to rent the property because of school district. Not very many rental properties in school district and the ones that do have rental properties very few allow pets.   They came back to me offering me a additional $800 monthly if I would rent it and allow pets.   What does every one usually charge that allows pets?   A deposit and monthly pet fee?     This seems like a lot of money that there offering to allow 2 animals and wondering if I should consider my options on this?   Thanks for your help on this.

Month #1: Standard rent + $800 pet fee arrives.

Month #2: Standard rent + letter from an internet doctor saying that they have diagnosed little Sally with anxiety due to her new school and she needs these existing animals as Emotional Support Animals. No extra $800 monthly will arrive ever again.
