Tell your cleaning company about pets before the first appointment. A clear plan helps the team enter the property, work through the agreed rooms, and avoid confusion about doors or pet areas.
Arrange a secure, comfortable space or another suitable plan and confirm it with the team. Explain which doors must stay closed and whether any room should be skipped.
Before the visit
- Share the number and type of pets and relevant access instructions.
- Put away toys and belongings that block surfaces or floors.
- Identify the pet area and any room that is unavailable.
- Discuss product preferences rather than assuming every product suits every situation.
- Provide a contact for questions while the team is on site.
Will regular cleaning remove every pet hair?
Pet hair can collect on floors, furniture, fabrics, and hard-to-reach areas. Explain where it is most noticeable and confirm which surfaces are included. Upholstery, fabric treatment, and specialized odor work should not be assumed to be part of a routine house-cleaning visit.
Does having pets change the schedule?
It may affect the amount of upkeep you want between visits. Consider how quickly floors collect hair and how much you handle yourself. Discuss frequency and property condition when requesting a quote.
What if my pet is anxious around visitors?
Make a plan that works for your household before the appointment. Tell the team about access needs without expecting cleaners to manage or supervise the animal.
