10) Does a property allow pets?
Birdy Properties is a pet friendly management company. A few of our landlords & Communities have pet restrictions, and some may not allow pets at all. Most properties allow pets but they are negotiable and require a petscreening.com profile to be considered for approval to move into the property.

$20 for the first pet & $15 for each additional pet created on the same owner profile for 1 year. Renewals are just $10/pet for each additional annual renewal.

13) Can I use the PetScreening Profile for other than my Application with Birdy Properties?
Yes, Your pet profile allows you to keep all of your pet records in one place with a public profile link available to be shared anytime you need to notify someone that you are bringing your animal with you. These cases would be when you are taking your pet to the groomers and they require to have updated access to your pet's most up-to-date shot records. You would just share your pet's profile and they would have access to your pet's up-to-date shot records, photos of your pet, and important profile information. Other places that are very helpful to have a PetScreening Profile are when you are looking to stay in an Airbnb and want to bring your pet. Hosts are more likely to accept a pet when they receive your professional-looking petscreening profile and have impressive quality record keeping.

14) When should I fill out a petscreening profile?
You should fill out a petscreening profile when you have found the property that you like that allows pets and right after you completed the human application process for each adult over the age of 18 that is going to reside on the property for more than 10days at a time. The application will also prompt you to complete a petscreening profile.

15) When should I fill out a petscreening profile if I have an Assistance Animal?
It would be best to complete the Assistance Animal Profile right away, even before you have found a home that you like. Assistance Animal Profile Reviews can take longer because there are more verification documents required to qualify for the Reasonable Accommodation for the animal so starting that process sooner will help the process once you find a home that you like.
