The idea is to add a pet icon next to the current symbols (stars, number of exchanges, and guest capacity) in search results, so users can see at a glance if pets live in the home. Image included for reference.
Agree.
It seems that there are members out there who don’t read the home descriptions thoroughly, so a pet reminder on the search results is a good idea. We describe in our home description page that we have 2 cats, and we mark the checkbox indicating that there are pets in our home. We show two photos of the cats in our homes photo set. Yet we still get inquiries from members who realize later after a conversation starts, that we have pets and they are allergic so can’t come. We also had one guest who, after an exchange was complete, gave us a critical comment in our review warning people that we have cats and that it gave them an allergic reaction!
Yes this is a great idea, and i’m sure very helpful for those who are either actively seeking a pet to keep them company, or those who are avoiding pets due to allergies. I will certainly pass your idea onto the team
Thank you @Melisa.HomeExchange!
