Who hostdawg is
hostdawg (operated by PHARMDAWG AI LLC) is software that short-term-rental hosts use to run their own properties. It is not a consumer sign-up service. Recipients of any text are people the host already has a direct relationship with — their cleaners and their booked guests.
What we send
Messages are transactional and tied to a specific booking. We do not send marketing or promotional texts. There are two types:
- Cleaner turnover dispatch — on the morning of a checkout, e.g. “hostdawg: Tin Shed checkout today 2026-07-15. Time for your turnover. Reply Y to confirm. Reply STOP to opt out.”
- Guest check-in info — before arrival, e.g. “hostdawg: Welcome to Langley House on 2026-07-12. Door code: 4829. Check-in from 3pm. Reply STOP to opt out.”
How opt-in works
Opting in to messaging is optional and never required. A host can create an account, add properties, add cleaners, and create bookings without enabling any SMS.
When a host adds a cleaner, or enters a guest’s phone number on a booking, an unchecked, clearly-optional consent checkbox appears. The host checks it only if they have that person’s permission to be texted. They can leave it unchecked and still save — in which case hostdawg never texts that recipient. Only when the box is checked do we record consent (with a timestamp) and send the transactional messages above.
Frequency, rates, and opt-out
- Frequency. Varies and is tied to bookings (for example, around each check-in or checkout).
- Rates. Message and data rates may apply, depending on the recipient’s mobile carrier and plan.
- Opt-out. Recipients can reply STOP at any time to stop all messages, and HELP for help.
- No data sharing. Mobile opt-in information and consent are never shared with third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.
