Have had too many big problems with pets, if you do accept them, then PLEASE let your tenant know that you do quarterly inspections (to see if there's anything that needs to be done or whatever) and actually follow through with them. A pet can do a lot of damage in a short period.
I've even had tenants that were great for quite a while all of a sudden change and their cat wrecked the living room carpet... I'd stopped doing inspections because they'd been so reliable. Carpet was already close to replacing so not a huge deal but could have easily been new carpet (well I almost never put carpet in a place but you know what I mean).
But my actual advice would be to never take pets.
