In addition, you can also check following websites to search for pet friendly developments
Movebubble: Available on desktop and mobile, although we only found the ‘Accept Pets’ option on the app. Movebubble got in touch to tell us how they recognise the importance of making it easy to find dog-friendly places to live. So much so, they have recently updated their mobile app to include a pet-friendly filter making it super easy. As mentioned, we couldn’t find the same filter on the desktop version of the site but love the app and how easy it is to use.
Petslets.com: Petslets.com offer either a bespoke Relocation Service for people moving to London with their pet or a Viewing Service where anyone can email up to 4 pet-friendly property links they have come across on a portal such as Rightmove, Zoopla etc. Then, Petslets.com will make sure the property will accept the person’s pet(s), view on their behalf and report back within 24 hours. Petslets.com can also offer advice on the property, tips to negotiate and guidance on the contract if needed.
Spareroom: Available on desktop and mobile app and on both options there is a ‘Pets Considered or Suitable for Pet Owners’ checkbox in the search filters. Spareroom are also on a mission to make pet-friendly rentals the norm and have recently published some research on this. Spareroom have also started a ‘paw-litical’ Think Tank run by pets and their owners to challenge landlords to think differently about letting to pets, and encourage more animal-friendly rentals in the UK. Read the Think Tank report here.
Openrent: Available on desktop and mobile. Although not an app, the mobile optimised version of the site lets you do anything you can do on the desktop version, on mobile. One of the early adopters of a ‘pets accepted’ filter on the site. Just use the ‘Accept Pets’ checkbox on the advanced filters in your search.
FindProperly: Available on desktop only. There is a ‘Pets Allowed’ checkbox under ‘Features’ which is only available once you reach your search results.
Trovit: Available on desktop and mobile. No filters but you can search on the area + pet-friendly. It’s best to avoid the search term ‘pets allowed’ as this returns listings that have ‘no pets allowed’ in them also!
Zoopla: Available on desktop and mobile. There isn’t a filter, but you can type ‘pet-friendly’ or similar into the keyword section under ‘Advanced Search’ to return results.
