str market mapVacation rental operators who allow pets face inconsistent, undocumented pet approval decisions and lack a standardized way to assess animal risk, handle assistance animal accommodation requests compliantly, or maintain records linking pet history to reservations.
PetScreening is a pet and assistance animal policy management platform that creates documented digital profiles for each animal, including a proprietary FIDO Score risk rating, enabling rental operators to make consistent, defensible pet approval decisions.
Pet owners submit animal profiles through a guest-facing portal, providing vaccination records, behavioral history, and bite records. Each pet is assigned a FIDO Score based on assessed risk, which operators use to calibrate deposits, fees, and approval decisions consistently. Assistance animal requests go through a structured review by PetScreening's in-house Assistance Animal Review Team, which provides a documented recommendation aligned with HUD and Fair Housing Act guidelines. The property manager retains final authority. The BetterPet Passport records are portable and link to reservation records. Household pet profiles cost $30; assistance animal profiles are provided at no charge. The platform integrates with residential and vacation rental property management software.
