Extras
Note: All of our prices are in USD and we do not support additional currencies at this time. So if you are an international host, makes sure to keep in mind when you set prices that you are setting them in USD, the prices on your spot will show in USD and your guests will pay in USD. We hope to be able to support additional currencies in the future.
- On your Host Dashboard, scroll to the 'Extras' section and click 'Extras' or click the Extras link in the header dropdown.
- From here, you can create brand new Extras or manage existing ones.
- Note: Extras are shown on your spot detail page in alphabetical order.
- For each Extra, you can set a name, description, and price. Extras can be turned on or off at any time at both the property and spot level.
3rd party liability claims and damage coverage
3rd party liability claims and damage coverage for Sniffspot visits with Extras are covered, just like any Sniffspot visit. For 3rd party liability claims and damage related specifically to Extras, our Host Protection Insurance and damage coverage only covers Extras that are related to features of your property that would normally be considered part of a spot.
- Here are some examples of what is covered:
- Bathing - kiddie pools, sprinklers, hoses, wash stations, etc for dogs.
- Swimming - this is in a pool, pond, etc where dogs can actually swim, not just wade.
- Additional part of property - like access to a special garden or a hiking area
- Here are some examples of what is currently not covered:
- Food for humans or dogs
- Services - like training or grooming
- Equipment rental - like ATVs or golf carts
- Extras involving animals or people
