advice needed for rental to pet owners

I am renting out a SFH. Most of the potential tenants seem to have at least 1 pet. What's your experience with renting to pet owners? I am very hesitant but I am not sure if I have choices. What should I watch for? What damage could they bring?

thanks in advance.
