The next time you are apartment hunting, don’t forget to bring a resume…for your pet. A resume for your dog might sound like a silly concept, but it could make it a lot easier to find the right place to live.

Pet resumes help convince landlords to bend their no pet policies because they provide proof that your pet won’t become the horror story they’re afraid of. Landlords don’t instate no pet rules because they hate pets, they may even have a pet at home! They’re afraid that your pet will leave a mess behind when you leave and they’ll be left with the hefty price tag.

It’s important to treat your pet’s resume as seriously as you would treat your own. It’s funny to say that your pet’s career is to bark at every lizard that scurries past on the sidewalk, but a noisy pet will not earn you any points with a potential landlord. Landlord’s main concern is that their investment will be protected. If you show your pet respect, your potential landlord may follow suit.

Your pet’s resume should actually look a lot like yours.

Pet Photo

Include an irresistible photo of your pet. Photos with kids and photos out at the park are great examples. A photo with a child showcases that your pet is well mannered and friendly. A photo at the park tells the landlord that you’re a good owner because you take your pet out to play. Tiring out your pet at the park means they won’t have the energy to bark loudly or wreak havoc in the apartment. If you do not have a photo like this, make sure that the photo you use for your pet wins over the landlord’s affection. A photo of Fido with a chewed up pillow is a great laugh, but it will not be seen as a positive in your landlord’s eyes.

A photo at the park tells the landlord that you’re a good owner because you take your dog out to play, which tires your dog out and means they won’t have the energy to bark loudly or wreak havoc in the apartment later that day.

A photo of Fido with a chewed up pillow is a great laugh, but it will not be seen as a positive in your landlord’s eyes.

Include an irresistible photo of your cat. Photos with kids and photos out at the park are great examples. A photo with a child showcases that your cat is well mannered and friendly. Photos in the park show the landlord that Fluffy is well exercised and will not have the energy to wreak havoc at home. If you do not have a photo like this, make sure that the photo you use for your cat wins over the landlord’s affection. A photo of Fluffy with a ripped up curtain is a great laugh, but it will not be seen as a positive in your landlord’s eyes.

Understanding Your Landlord

It makes sense that your landlord has concerns about having pets in their apartment. Apartment rentals are an investment, and they’re looking to protect themselves and their families from a large and unnecessary expense. By creating a pet resume, you’re trying to show your potential landlord that your pet will not cost their family unnecessary hardships. At the end of the day they are people too. These are their concerns and how you can prove to them that they don’t have to worry.


1. An rambunctious pet that disturbs other tenants.

  • Attach a copy of the returned security deposit from your last apartment as proof to your pet’s great apartment life.
  • Consider having your pet’s references write letters about your pet to include with your pet’s resume. Your landlord will probably still call the references, but the letters let your landlord know that these references are serious.
  • Attach copies of any training certificates you mentioned in your resume.
  • Offer to enroll your pet in any additional trainings your landlord may be preferential to.


2. They don’t want to be held liable.

Be aware of local restrictions. Some cities, counties, buildings and management companies ban certain breeds, like pit bulls. In the case of city and county regulations, this is a non-negotiable issue. Some management companies restrict breeds because of insurance company regulations; therefore, this rule isn’t flexible for them either.

If it’s a landlord specific restriction, there’s hope! Bring your pet to see the apartment or ask the landlord to schedule a meeting with your pet. Send the landlord a video of your pet being adorable, if that’s what it takes! Make sure that your landlord witnesses your pet’s great behavior. You may even be able to sidestep this issue if your pet’s breed is mixed, which many are.

You can offer to sign a liability agreement with your landlord to protect them in court in case your pet runs into trouble. If necessary, ask your landlord for a test-out term. If your pet doesn’t bother anyone in the first six months you’re living there, it probably won’t for the rest of the time either, so your pet can stay with you. If your pet breaks the rules beforehand, you will move out or find another place for it to stay until the end of your lease.


3. They want to protect their investment

  • Let your landlord know if you have renter’s insurance that covers pets. If you don’t have it, be sure to let them know if you’re willing to invest in it.
  • Offer to put down an additional pet deposit.
  • Offer to add extra rugs to the apartment to protect flooring.


4. A pet that will bring disease into their apartment.

  • Include a health certificate from the vet.
  • Attach copies of your vaccinations or offer to provide them.
