Pets Are the New Kids: How PetScreening is Transforming Property Management

    The U.S. rental market is transforming as pets take center stage in residents’ lives—more pets were adopted in 2024 than children were born. This cultural shift means property managers must balance compassion with compliance, and PetScreening is leading the way.

    As the industry’s first comprehensive pet compliance platform, PetScreening helps property managers streamline every step of the resident lifecycle—from pet application to move-out. Through tools like the FIDO Score™, PetComply.ai, and the nation’s only pet incident database, operators can confidently manage pet risk, enforce policies, and protect communities.

    The platform also enhances safety for maintenance teams by sharing verified pet profiles, while its customizable revenue tools ensure fair, defensible pet fees. Beyond compliance, PetScreening’s Certified BetterPet Community™ program and Down for Pets™ philanthropic initiative highlight a deeper mission: creating inclusive, pet-friendly, and people-focused housing.

    In a world where “pets are the new kids,” PetScreening empowers property managers to build communities where pets and people thrive together.
