Harrison, OH asked in Animal / Dog Law for Kentucky

Q: I work at a hotel in Kentucky. Are you legally allowed to ask for ID for service animals?

I work front desk and my co-worker insist you are allowed to ask for proof like an ID badge or something proving the animal is a service pet. However most info online says no but some say it's ok. They want me to ask for ID but the guest always says we legally can't ask for it and I think there right.
