Or leave it as either "sorry- no pets" or leave it blank. Let the renter ask you, find out what they have, and decide from there.
Just because you may be a reponsible pet owner doesn't mean your renter will be. Add to that the fact that many renters do not care about the property- and you are asking for a $5000 repair bill.
