Venting on ABB "host" staying at my place

Guest checks in, i double check camera to make sure no issues getting in (sometimes people have issues using Schlage lock. I don't know why, but i double check). I see them with a dog, i double check booking and no pet included. Now we are pet friendly, so no issues. I question guest about it and he says he didn't see it mentioned in the description. I double check our listing and see that we do say pet friendly for 2 dogs, but I didn't list the pet fee in the description. I know people get ticky-tack with what is described, so i tell him that since it wasn't listed (and i changed that now) that I wouldn't charge him the pet fee.  I just like to know when there is a pet in the place, so the cleaners do a little extra cleaning afterwards for any future guest with possible pet allergies. his response

"I really don’t recall a block even being available to even list a pet, as an ABB host I’m pretty attune to those details."

It is right there when you put how many people are coming, the very next line is Pets. my other ABB guests that have pets put them in. I dont go telling any host when i stay at a place that I am a host. Feel like I am waiting for the next shoe to drop with this person.

Some people suck...Good news is that they'll gone in a few days and you'll never see or talk to them again. 

I hope you feel seen and heard.
