You will want to be aware of the limitations on channels & pet fees:
Airbnb will only pass through a pet fee per stay, not per pet, not per night. Airbnb will roll that pet fee into the base rent rate, you won't see a line item.
Airbnb also has only recently added the pet as part of the guest count, when booking. Guest's who are accustomed to previously being unable to add their pet as a guest may not realize they need to scroll down and add their pet there. We are advising hosts to ask guests if they plan to bring a pet as many guests are not trying to hide the fact, they simply don't realize they can add it.
Airbnb has recently added the option for you to limit the maximum number of pets: within your Airbnb listing site, under policies & rules, you can set your maximum per listing.
You will also want to specify your exact pet charge and how you will collect it in your house rules for both Airbnb & Vrbo. For Airbnb you'll want to specify that the first pet's fee is being included in rent, then you will collect any additional pet fees via the resolution center or via the credit card you collect for your security deposit, with the agreement of the guest.

Vrbo only includes the option to charge for "pets" with no option to enumerate how many pets. You would want to include, in your house rules, if you charge per pet and would have to manually adjust the booking charges and collect that additional payment due
