Adding your pet
If the home allows pets, add yours with a few details, and verifying them up front means fewer surprises about pet rules, deposits, or fees later.
A short profile per pet
You create a short profile for each pet with type, breed, and weight, and may upload vaccination or licensing records so the landlord can confirm the pet policy is met.
Records checked, policy applied
Your details and records are checked against the home's pet policy, which sets allowed types, weight limits, and any pet deposit or monthly pet rent, all shown to you clearly.
What you can do
Confirm the home's pet policy before you apply, then add each pet with accurate details and clear, current vaccination or licensing records. Review any pet deposit or monthly pet rent shown so you are not surprised at signing, and note that a service or emotional-support animal is handled separately and is not treated as a pet.
