I had a very hard time leaving Ivan the Terrier after he began failing. I can understand not wanting to travel without a geriatric dog. What if I wasn't there when his time came?

Nothing is wrong with saying NO to your friend and sharing your thoughts on why. I think as much as she loves her elder pet, she should understand. I mean if she's mentioned piddle pads, then she does understand about the carpet.
Maybe instead of visiting at your place, she could stay in a hotel where dogs were welcomed. Or you both could just see each other for lunch at a pet friendly pet-io.
Things will work out the way they need--
