If you receive the below error on a listing, then you should set the Default Daily Price on the listing.

You can set the Default Daily Price on on individual listings or multiple listings at one time.

Pet Fee Error
Review the validation error message in Boost to see how much the Pet Fee is with the markup/tax. Round up to the next dollar (or higher if you’d like) and that is the price to enter in the Default Daily Price field.
Example Error Message:
Your default daily price is lower than your pet fee. Airbnb will not allow you to use a pet fee and not allow you to update fees or taxes. Your pet fee is 156.66 dollars. If you set your default daily price in listing settings to this amount, Airbnb will allow the pet fee. Please do this, disable the fee, or lower the amount of the fee.
Add the value $157 in the Default Daily Price field for the listing(s) getting this error.
Note: If you have multiple pet fees at different prices then you may need to add a different Default Daily Prices to different listings.
