Pet-Friendly Roommates and Rooms for Rent
Finding a roommate is hard. Finding one who actually welcomes your pet is harder.

Filter for it in any search, set your other preferences, and message safely on your timeline in the app. Whether you have a spare room you'd like to share or you're looking for a place where your pet is part of the deal, we'll help you find someone who's a real match, not just the first person available.

Why pet owners (and pet lovers) are searching specifically for this
The right roommate means your pet gets to come too
For thousands of pet owners, finding a pet-friendly roommate isn't a small preference; it's the difference between a home that welcomes your whole family and one that doesn't.
Pet-friendly RoommatesHome should include everyone, two- and four-legged included.
Living with someone who tolerates your pet at best, or wasn't upfront about their own allergies or feelings, is exhausting in a way that doesn't show up on a budget. Living with a genuine pet lover (or a fellow pet owner) gives you the most basic thing a home is supposed to give you: a place your whole household actually belongs.
The Pet Friendly selection on your profile does the filtering for you.
Members can select Pet Friendly, or not, on their profile. Filter for it on any search and instantly see only people who've said pets are welcome. No guessing, no awkward "so, about my pet iguana" conversations after you've already moved in.
A bigger pool than word-of-mouth.
Local pet groups and classifieds only reach so far. Roommates.com gives you a much wider pool of verified, pet-friendly profiles in your area, and a greater chance of finding someone who actually welcomes your pet as part of the deal.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does ID verification work?
ID verification is free with any paid plan. You upload a government-issued ID through our secure verification partner, and once it's confirmed, an "ID Verified" badge appears on your profile. It's one of the simplest signals to look for when you're choosing who to message.
How do I find a pet-friendly roommate on Roommates.com?
Create a free profile and set your preferences. Filter your search to show only Pet Friendly listings and profiles, then narrow further with the optional Dog or Cat badges if you're looking for a specific type of pet owner or pet-loving roommate.
What are the Dog and Cat badges?
The Dog and Cat badges are opt-in profile badges members can add to show they have, or welcome, a specific type of pet. You can turn these on in your profile settings, and other members can filter their searches to show only profiles with one or both.
Can I specify what kind of pet I have beyond dog or cat?
Yes, select "Other" when creating your listing, then add details about other pets or specifics (species, breed, size, temperament) in your profile bio so potential roommates know exactly what to expect.
If someone doesn't have a dog or cat-specific badge, does that mean they don't like pets?
Not necessarily. These badges are opt-in, some pet owners simply haven't added them yet. Ask directly in messaging if you're unsure.
