There are some agents who would suggest letting someone have your pets stay with them while your house is up for sale. Still others feel that their pets are part of their family and wouldn’t be at all happy sending them away. That’s why it’s my belief that with a little planning, you can easily keep all your family in the house during the home selling process. Let’s see how!
Litter Box
This is a big issue! Of course, no one wants to see or smell a litter box during house hunting. Thankfully, however, there are some stylish solutions to this dilemma. Be sure to check the

Pet Food
Consider keeping a big bucket of cat food in the bathroom. However, for scheduled showings, you may find that storing the bucket of food away in the garage or an out-of-the-way closet may work best.
Toys and Leashes
Keeping a dog leash by the door or hanging a leash on a wall may seem like an easy solution, but may not be the best way to showcase your house. Getting a nice basket or box and storing the doggy and kitty toys and accessories in them will allow you to still leave them out but not in plain sight.
Other Pets
Fish Tanks
Pay special attention to keeping the water crystal clean.
Birds
Make sure the area around the cage is free of bird seed and keep the cage clean.
We get used to our pets hair everywhere but when selling your house, make sure to vacuum the fur up regularly. With a little care for your house and pets, you can be on your way to a sale in no time!
