PetScreening provides a no-cost pet policy management and assistance-animal compliance platform for rental housing owners and managers, including a centralized pet profile and FIDO Score® to standardize risk assessment. The platform evaluates community restrictions (breed, weight, age), processes reasonable accommodation requests per HUD guidelines, and integrates with major property-management systems. Since launching in 2017, the company has expanded to serve more than 7 million rental units across multifamily, single-family, student, affordable, manufactured and military base sectors. PetScreening says it has helped owners capture nearly $300 million in pet-related revenue and has supported over 1.3 million reasonable accommodation requests through its platform. The company has more than 135 employees, occupies 32,000 square feet of office space in Mooresville, N.C., and plans significant headcount expansion. PetScreening has also launched consumer services (FidoAlert/TabbyAlert) and acquired veterinarian-driven content site BetterPet.com to broaden its product offering. PetScreening is a Mooresville, N.C.-based provider of a screening platform that lets property managers outsource pet risk assessment and assistance-animal validation processes. The platform allows housing providers to manage residents’ pets and assistance animals for free while generating opportunities for pet-related revenue and standardizes risk assessment via a digital Pet Profile and FIDO Score. It centralizes pet screening in a single database, weighing factors such as breed, weight and age, and streamlines assistance-animal accommodation request reviews while following HUD guidelines. Non-pet residents can fill a free profile to demonstrate awareness of community rules, and the platform evaluates reasonable accommodation requests for service and support animals. The company is led by founder and CEO John Bradford. PetScreening closed a $3M Series A and intends to use the funds to expand operations, including growing headcount by 25%. The company also plans to enhance current services, develop educational training and marketing content, and add new platform functionality.

It also helps ensure residents are held accountable for unauthorized pets and includes integrations with Yardi Voyager and RealPage’s OneSite. Over the last year the company has screened more than 50,000 household pets and reviewed more than 10,000 reasonable accommodation requests. The company is based in Charlotte, NC.
