The Pet-Parent’s Guide to Buying a Home: 5 Things to Watch For

5 Things to Watch for as a Pet Parent Buying a Home in Boca Raton

If you’re a pet parent who’s buying a home for sale in Boca Raton, you’re not alone – this is one of the most pet-friendly areas in all of Florida. However, there are a few special considerations you’ll have to make to ensure that you’re purchasing a home that’s a good fit for you and your pet.

The Pet-Parent’s Guide to Buying a Home: 5 Things to Watch For

As a pet parent, you’re most likely checking all the big things – you want to ensure there’s a fenced yard, a good place for you and your pet to stroll, or plenty of sunny windows that your four-legged family member can lounge near during the day. However, check out these five things to watch for that may not be on your radar right now:

  1. Local pet laws
  2. HOA rules
  3. Pet-friendly floors
  4. A pet-friendly floor plan
  5. Easy-to-navigate stairs

Here’s a closer look at each.

Local Pet Laws in Boca Raton

Your Boca Raton pet-friendly REALTOR® can help ensure you know all the rules and regulations when it comes to having your pet in and around the city. She can help familiarize you with our leash laws, off-leash areas and pet waste polices.

HOA Rules

If you’re buying a home in a neighborhood with a homeowners association or condo owners association, you’ll need to brush up on their rules before moving in. Some not only restrict the sizes and breeds of pets you can have in their area, but also restrict when and where they can walk, how much time they can spend outside, and more.

Pet-Friendly Floors

The flooring in your next home should be pet-friendly – and it should be people-friendly, too. You most likely want to look for flooring that’s easy to clean, like different types of tile, marble, stone or waterproof vinyl.   Pets like these floors because they remain cool.

A Pet-Friendly Floor Plan

Your floor plan needs to be a good fit for you and your pets. It’s tough to live in a home where you’re always tripping over a cat or dog; likewise, it’s easy for a pet to become overwhelmed with too much space, particularly if you’re not always around to spend time with them. A space too small or too large can stress out your pet – and you, too, which means you should find a home that’s sized just right for every member your family.

Easy-to-Navigate Stairs

As pets get older, stairs become tougher to navigate – particularly if they’re hardwood. Look for a home that has carpeted stairs (or even a carpeted runner), or be prepared to install your own to make things easier on your pets.
