# Guest Picker: maximum number of pets

The **Pets** option in the Guest Picker appears only on properties marked pet-friendly. The highest number of pets a guest can select comes from one of two places.

**How the maximum is chosen.** The Guest Picker checks these in order:

1. A per-property maximum synced from your PMS, when your PMS provides one.
2. The account-wide **Max pets** setting in **Toolkit Hub** under **Guest Picker**.

If neither is set, a value of 0 means no limit, so guests can select any number of pets.

**If your PMS does not send a pet maximum.** Some PMS integrations, including Guesty, do not send a per-property pet maximum. On those accounts the account-wide setting is the one that applies. Set **Max pets** to match your policy (for example, 2). You can also enable the pet notice text shown in the picker.
