What do the pets symbols on our listings mean?
These icons mean that pets are negotiable at this property. It means that pets will be considered when we are processing your application, but we might decide that your specific pet will not work at this property. Pets are considered a part of your application so when approving an application we are looking at all aspects (credit, rental history, employment) when making a decision about approval. The pet symbol does not automatically mean your pet will be accepted, it means your pet will be look as part of your application and taken into consideration as if you would be a good fit for that rental home. For example some pets are not allowed per the owners insurance policy etc.

Each of our homes has a different owner with different policies on pets. Please keep in mind that if you and your pet don't work on for one home we can try again on another home.
