Pet Friendly Rentals Search Tool - now bigger and better

February 11 2009

We’ve had great feedback from so many of you on how the Pet Friendly Rentals Search Tool has saved you countless hours in finding rental listings that allow pets, but as part of our first major upgrade, we're happy to announce that the tool now supports searching on Domain.com.au, as well as Real Estate.com.au.

Also - by request from many pet owners, you can now use the Pet Friendly Rentals Search Tool to search the ‘for sale’ sections of Real Estate.com.au and Domain.com.au – making it easier for you to find properties to buy that you know are suitable for both you and your pets.

Thirdly, whether searching for properties to rent or to buy, the Pet Friendly Rentals Search Tool now tells you when ‘no properties were found’ on the page you are searching – so you’re not left wondering if the search tool has worked or if there are just no suitable properties on that page.

Our next task is to develop the search tool further so it can be used to search Homehound.com.au and MyHome.com.au and this will be happening in the coming months. Have your say.

Our Pet Resumé System is now available

9 February 2009

We know first hand how tough it is to be approved for rentals when you own a pet, so what can you do to improve your chances?

Providing a resumé with your application for each of your pets demonstrates that you're a responsible pet owner and also helps alleviate some of the potential concerns landlords and home owners may have about renting to someone with a pet.

Developed in partnership with the Petcare Information and Advisory Service, our new Pet Resumé System is completely free. All you need is a Pet Friendly Rentals account, then sign in and you can start! Have your say.
