We typically do the nearest increment of 250 to the rent. So a 1200 place I'm charging 1k. A 800 place I'm charging 750 etc. 

I would suggest also charging a $200 non refundable "pet fee" per pet with a cap at 3. As well as $25 per month per pet. We had a family move into one of our rentals and this has added $1,550 in cashflow in 18 months.
