AITAH for telling a friend they can’t bring their dog to my party even if it means they can’t come

We are hosting an engagement party for a friend at our home.

One of the invited guests reached out. They asked if they could bring their dog.

They assured us the dog was small and well-behaved.

They said we would barely notice it was there.

This man refused to let them bring their dog to the party.

After giving it some thought, we let them know we did not think bringing the dog would be a good idea.

They replied that they were not comfortable leaving the dog home alone for an extended period.

They said if the dog could not come, they would not be able to attend.

He told them he’s sorry they couldn’t come.

I told them we were sorry to hear that.

I said we hoped we would have another chance to get together soon.

AITA?

Plus-ones are often for people, not for pets.
