Pets are as much part of the family to some as their kids are and you want to treat them as such. So when you are renting, you don’t think twice about bringing your dog or cat along with you.

It’s important to put together a pet resume. This sounds a little silly, but there’s a high success rate when a potential renter has this to hand to a Landlord. And this has been proven time and time again. Also of more importance, you should know that more and more landlords are requiring this document before they’ll even consider you as a tenant. And if you are going on a rental tour with an expert you should get that in to their hands as soon as possible, before the tour so that they can use this to set up your itinerary with viable options that will consider your pet.

This pet resume should include:

• Vet References
• Up to date shot records
• Previous Landlord/Neighbor references
• A statement backing up the bread of your dog
• Pictures of your dog (bonus if you have some with your family)
• Any important training your dog has had (look at more info on dog training programs here)
• A blurb about your dog’s temperament and lifestyle

If you have just twenty minutes to prepare a document, or even a slideshow if you want to get fancy, your chances of being successful, quickly, increase dramatically.
