I agree with much of what @KKC has suggested. My guest house (built 3 years ago) has ‘Luxury Vinyl Plank’ flooring in the living room, kitchen, bedroom (and Porcelain Tile in the bathroom). VLP comes in many designs; comprised of strips of heavy vinyl in lengths and widths similar to wood floors. Mine is adhered atop a concrete floor. It very durable, waterproof, easy to clean. I’ve had many guests ask about it. It is much more forgiving than any hardwood and would be easier to replace a portion if it somehow got damaged. Very pet friendly. Pic attached:
