Hey everyone, I鈥檓 sharing this because I don鈥檛 want anyone else to fall for what I just went through. I trusted a company called Stay Dog Rentals (also operating as Superfast Rentals) Jamie Karbel & Jason Snider
to help manage my property, and it has been a total disaster.
They booked a guest through their own site using a fake credit card, and the guest caused thousands of dollars in damage to my home. Beyond the money, there was a really serious domestic abuse situation that happened on-site. Instead of helping or filing a police report like any decent human would, the people at Stay Dog Rentals just ghosted me.
It鈥檚 been weeks of me chasing them down, being promised a call back that never comes, and being treated like I鈥檓 the problem. Now, they鈥檝e officially "quit" as co-hosts and left me to pick up the pieces (and the massive repair bills) alone.
Please, if you're looking for a co-host or see their ads, stay away. They are NOT who they say they are. Their website is staydogrentals.com鈥攄on't let them near your home or your keys.
Feel free to share this. I just want to make sure they can't do this to anyone else.

Thats tough, sorry!
It is very important when not operating from an OTA site to be verifying guest payments and ID's. Its not fun but necessary, a lot of human trafficking use fake cards. That was the first thing they did wrong.
There are bad guests and property damage that can happen to the best hosts. It is unfortunately part of the game, but obviously their disappearing is inexcusable.
I would talk to an attorney to see if a negligence claim could be brought.
