Moving is a lot. Moving with a dog, a cat or a whole crew of four-legged family members is a lot more. Our free Moving With Pets guide walks you through it, from the paperwork you need before the truck shows up to the first walk around your new South Bay neighborhood.
The guide is almost ready. Save your copy below and we’ll email it to you the day it’s done.
What’s in the Moving With Pets guide?
- Before you list or buy. The pet-related questions to ask about any home: yard space and fencing, flooring that stands up to paws, and how close the nearest park or walking path is.
- Condo, townhome and HOA pet rules. Many associations limit the number, size or type of pets. We show you where to find those rules and why to read them before you write an offer, not after.
- Renting with pets in the South Bay. What to have ready when you apply: records, references and a pet resume that helps you stand out.
- The paperwork checklist. Vet records, updating your pet’s microchip, and how pet licensing works when you move to a new city.
- Moving day, without the meltdown. How to keep pets calm, contained and out from underfoot while the movers work.
- Settling in. Finding a new vet and the nearest emergency animal hospital, groomers, walking routes, and the dog parks and beaches where dogs are welcome.
- Local wildlife. Coyotes are part of life in parts of the South Bay, especially on the Peninsula. Simple habits that keep your pets out of harm’s way.
