Pet-Friendly Selling in Las Vegas: How to Attract Buyers Without Stress

Written by Kimberly Smith - Your trusted Las Vegas Real Estate Queen

Pets are part of the family — but when it comes to selling your Las Vegas home, they can also create unexpected hurdles. Buyers love homes, not odors, fur, or distractions. The good news? With the right prep, you can keep your pets happy, reduce stress, and protect your offers.


1. Understand Buyer Concerns

Even pet-loving buyers may hesitate if they see (or smell) signs of pets. Common turn-offs include:

  • Lingering odors (litter boxes, urine, wet dog smell)

  • Wear-and-tear (scratched doors, chewed trim, stained carpets)

  • Noise and distractions (barking or roaming pets)

  • Allergy triggers (fur, dander)

💡 Real Estate Queen Tip: Buyers who smell pets often assume damage — even when the home is otherwise well maintained.

2. Plan Ahead for Showings

The easiest way to protect buyers’ comfort and your pets’ well-being is to remove them during showings.

Options that work:

  • Arrange pet daycare or boarding

  • Ask a friend or neighbor to pet-sit

  • Schedule showings when you can take pets out for a walk

This small step keeps buyers focused on your property — not the distractions.

3. Minimize Pet Evidence Without Stress

You don’t need to erase all signs of your pets, but you should present a clean, neutral environment.

  • Store bowls, beds, toys, and litter boxes out of sight

  • Vacuum regularly to remove fur and dander

  • Wash pet bedding and deep clean cages or tanks

  • Repair small scratches or chew marks before buyers arrive

✨ Las Vegas Note: In desert heat, odors intensify quickly — deep cleaning before listing is essential.

4. Highlight Pet-Friendly Features the Right Way

If your home has perks that appeal to pet owners — like a fenced yard, mudroom, or tile floors — showcase them. Just keep them spotless and staged like any other feature.

👑 Real Estate Queen Tip: “Buyers should remember your home’s features, not your pets. Smart prep keeps your home appealing to every buyer while protecting your property’s value.”
