Here are the three things you need to do as a pet owner to attract home buyers to your home, even those who are not fans of pets whatsoever:

• Keep Cat Litter or Doggy Pads Away: Before showing your home, these items need to be cleaned thoroughly. Even then, you want to be sure that they are kept away, such as outside hidden underneath something, like a box. Most likely, your pet can avoid having to use the bathroom during the time you have a home buyer looking at the home.
• Get Rid of the Smell: Since you have lived with your pets in the home for an extended period of time, you may not have noticed the smell that they have produced, even if it is slight. Have a neighbor come over to let you know whether or not your home needs some serious air freshening or not. However, do not use air fresheners since they can cause allergic reactions. Instead, consider natural products that help to neutralize the air.
• Put Your Pets in a Carrier: When you are showing your home, your pets should be put away. You can leave a note that lets home buyers know you have pets in the carriers that should be left alone.
