Advice on STR pets appreciated

I'm considering allowing pets (dogs only) at one of our listings to beef up the bookings and increase revenue (I hope). I've always been anti pets because I've seen what they can do and have cleaned up quite a few back in my construction days, so I'm prejudiced, but the missus wants to give it a try.....

So questions: 

Dogs only seems a no-brainer? 

Size restrictions? 

Breeds? 

How many max (I think 2?) 

Extra charge - per night, per dog, per trip? $60?

Sign separate agreement?

TIA

I allow dogs only,  max 2, I charge an extra $10/night. I have not had any issues, no size or breed restrictions. I do not have any separate agreement for dogs.

 Cleaner charges an extra $25 for added time to do any exta cleaning(dog hair) Dogs are alot less wear and tear then kids(and I can't charge any extra for kids)
