In this episode of the Multifamily Innovation® Podcast, host Patrick Antrim sits down with Arlene Mayfield , Senior Vice President at PetScreening, to explore how PetScreening is reshaping pet policies and operations across the multifamily industry. With over 7 million units under management and partnerships with more than 24,000 property management companies, PetScreening brings innovative solutions that enhance resident experiences, boost property revenue, and streamline compliance with HUD’s guidelines for emotional support animals. Arlene emphasizes the importance of trust, communication, and collaboration as the foundation for strong partnerships. These values are essential as PetScreening helps property management companies tackle pet-related challenges and improve overall efficiency. PetScreening’s solution alleviates the burden of HUD compliance for Emotional Support Animal (ESA) requests, removing the legal complexity from property managers and reducing potential liability. Additionally, the service is cost-effective: property management companies can implement PetScreening at no cost, as fees are only charged to residents with household pets, allowing managers to avoid “junk fee” concerns. With PetScreening , properties gain insightful access to pet demographics, such as tracking bite histories, which help properties understand and mitigate risks associated with pet ownership in their communities. PetScreening’s software can be implemented in a week, with two-way integrations into most property management software, making setup fast and effective. Their system enables properties to capture additional revenue through pet fees while also creating a reliable process to verify ESA claims and deter false documentation. Arlene also shared PetScreening’s plans to expand into the short-term rental space, enabling pet-friendly travel accommodations and office environments where pets can help increase employee engagement and satisfaction. As she notes, “Pets are the new kids, with more pets now in households than children.” Through its offerings, PetScreening builds peace of mind, with the ESA compliance service not only lifting a legal burden but also offering properties a streamlined approach to managing pet policies.
