# Hostfully pet fee ignores pet count

On your Hostfully-connected site, the pet fee shows the same amount no matter how many pets a guest selects.

**Why this happens.** The pet fee amount is set entirely by how the fee is configured in your Hostfully account, not by the website. When a guest picks their pets, the HomeRunner booking engine sends the pet count to Hostfully. If the pet fee in Hostfully uses the **Per stay** scope, Hostfully charges the same flat amount regardless of the number of pets and returns the same dollar amount every time.

**How to make the fee scale with pet count.**

1. Log into your Hostfully account.
2. Go to your listing's **Fees, Taxes & Policies** settings.
3. Find the pet fee and change its **Scope** from **Per stay** to **Per pet**.
4. Save the change.

After you save, a guest who selects 2 pets sees a fee that is double the single-pet amount. You do not need to change anything on the website side.
