I think if I invite anyone into my home, it is incumbent upon me to provide a safe and comfortable setting for my guest.
And acknowledge that not everyone copes well around animals, acknowledge that some may have a fear or an allergy.
Curious what some do when they have a repair person or maintenance work done in their home. Have you never had them state that pets need to be secured out of the way? What about when furniture or major appliances are delivered? Common sense dictates for the sake of your pets and all involved not to have them underfoot.
