A Day in the Life of Apartment Living with Pets
"Pets You Bet! "
I am so excited to learn how to blog!
I am such a newbie I hope that you forgive my mistakes and have the patience to bear with me. It feels like I'm learning how to type all over again. I love this modern technology ! But I know it will be worth my hen pecking to share my experiences.
After 25 years as a chef & general manager in the catering and hospitality field , I semi-retired needing a change and moved to the beach! That is one of the reasons why I moved back to California in the first place. The main reason was of course to be with my new wonderful husband, which by the way we our celebrating our 20th year together !
I have since spent the last 15 years as a professional real estate manager and ended up helping to change the face of real estate rentals and apartment living with pets . I have now lived with over 100 (and up to 175 dogs of all sizes and breeds ) and 45 ++ cats, and birds, rabbits, fish , etc., all at the same time over the last 12 years in one of the most beautiful 150 units community. I can only imagine that we have had 1000's of different pets in that time . I lost count ! "Pets You Bet ! " . We have proven to the industry that it is not only a great idea but also very possible ! Many companies have adopted our idea . That's great! Because we are usually full and there are still a lot of pets that need homes !
I have also found that pet owners are nicer, kinder, gentler, and so passionate about their pets. I would also say that at least 50-60 % of the pets here were adopted before they moved here.
Our community has been featured on the front page of the local newspaper and very popular in the South Bay area in Southern Ca." Pets You Bet! " We are "One of a Kind", of this size, that I know of. So we started specializing in helping people find a wonderful place to live with their pets , those relocating into the area, or just needing a short term place in between homes or remodeling.We also have many long term residences too! We even have people move away and then come back.
We have received many, many, many letters with great appreciation for what we do . Even as far away as Florida and New York letters thanking us for being an example, that "Pets are People Too !"
Too many people and great families where being turned down and turned away for a place to live because they have pets. To hear and see them cry at just the thought of having to give up a part of they family was so sad and unbearable to them and me . You might as well have asked them to give up their daughter or son !
It was terrible! I had to do something ! And something I did .
" Pet You Bet ! "
I started allowing them to have a chance to prove to everyone that just because they had a pet was no way a reason to not rent to them . So we as a community are glad and proud to say that we are going on our next century of loving and living with pets in apartment living! It has not always been easy , but we have learned over the years what works and what doesn't work .
Please join me and my furry friends in sharing our experiences and spread the word.
" Pets are people too ! "
They love and protect us with unconditional love.
They bring us peace of mind and heart.
They bring us happiness!
