When Selling in Upper Coomera, Where Will Your Pets Go During Inspections?

Selling your Upper Coomera home while living with pets? Build their arrangements into the inspection plan before dates are advertised. Decide who will supervise each animal, which doors buyers may use and how access to the house and yard will be managed.

The RSPCA warns that prospective buyers and other unfamiliar visitors may leave doors or gates open during a move-related period. RSPCA Australia

Plan the whole inspection route

Walk through the front entry, living areas, garage, patio and side gates with your agent. Do not assume leaving a dog in the backyard will let purchasers inspect those spaces safely.

Consider a suitable supervised outing or a familiar carer. Where an animal must remain at home, agree on secure accommodation and supervision appropriate to that animal.

Tell the agent about indoor cats and any doors that must remain closed. Where safe arrangements restrict access to a room, organise another opportunity to inspect it.

Make repeat appointments manageable

Set viewing windows that allow you to organise care without rushing. Include photography, tradespeople and second inspections in the same discussion.

Keep your pet’s identification details current. The RSPCA recommends updating microchip records and identification tags when moving. RSPCA Australia

Can my dog stay in the backyard?

Agree on secure supervision rather than relying on fencing alone.

Should I mention that my cat stays indoors?

What about a buyer’s second inspection?

Repeat the arrangements rather than assuming everyone remembers.

Must I book boarding?

No; choose suitable, supervised care for your animals.
