🐾 Pet-Friendly Finds: A Home Buyer’s Guide to Furry-Approved Living
Searching for a new home is exciting—but if your co-pilot has four paws and a tail, there's a little more to consider than just countertops and square footage. From fenced-in yards to nearby dog parks and scratch-resistant flooring, finding the purr-fect place takes a little extra sniffing around.
Whether you’ve got a Great Dane with big yard dreams or a cat who demands the sunniest windowsill in town, I’ve rounded up the top things to look for when house hunting with your pets in mind.
1. Paws First: Check the Yard
A spacious backyard with secure fencing is a dog’s dream come true. Bonus points if it already has shady spots and room to zoom!
2. Neighborhood Walkability
Sidewalks, trails, and nearby parks aren’t just good for you—they’re essential for your furry friend’s daily dose of sniffs and squirrel surveillance.
3. Flooring That Can Handle Zoomies
Think durable, scratch-resistant surfaces like tile or luxury vinyl. It’s not just practical—it’ll save your floors and your sanity.
4. Local Pet Perks
Is there a vet nearby? Groomer? Doggy daycare? A drive-thru with pup cups? These little luxuries make a big difference in daily life.
5. HOA & Rental Rules
Not all communities are pet-friendly—so let’s make sure you’re barking up the right tree before making an offer.
