And, apparently, the way to a renter\u2019s heart is through his or her dog. Not only are more and more buildings pet-friendly nowadays, but some property managers are adding amenities specifically catering to man\u2019s best friend. Communities are banking on pet-focused amenity offerings, such as dog parks and pet grooming areas, that promote their facilities as home sweet home for pets and humans alike.<\/p>\n<p>For example, <strong>Rockrose<\/strong>, which manages residential buildings in New York, offers <a title=\"The Spot Experience\" href=\"http:\/\/thespotexperience.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Spot Experience<\/a>, which is a third-party dog amenity provider. This service includes dog walking, cage-free daycare, overnight boarding, training and non-surgical vet services, such as nutritional plans and vaccinations, at their buildings. Spa treatments for dogs are also offered, which could even include facials. (It\u2019s a <i>ruff<\/i> life for dogs nowadays.)<\/p>\n<p>Other property management firms such as <strong>Rose Associates<\/strong>,<strong> Argo<\/strong> and <strong>Millennium Partners<\/strong>, are also getting in on the act and offering the Spot Experience. Yardi client <a title=\"Stonehenge\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stonehengenyc.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stonehenge <\/a>has created resident events programming specifically focused around pets, including a fashion show for dogs with a runway and judges and a holiday-themed event where residents could have their dogs&#8217; pictures taken with Santa Claus.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, membership to the Spot Experience doesn\u2019t run cheap\u2014about $200 a year, or $25 a day for members or $50 for nonmembers\u2014but that isn\u2019t stopping residents from participating. The expense is worth it for the renters. And it is <i>definitely<\/i> worth it for the property managers.<\/p>\n<p>Are you offering a unique pet-friendly amenity at your community?
