If you are looking for a room where you can live with your dog or cat, pet-friendly share houses offer lower initial costs and a smoother screening process.

In Tokyo, properties with gardens, ground-floor access, or those open to small dogs are concentrated in the Itabashi and Johoku areas (around Nerima and Kita wards). Another benefit is living among other animal lovers, making it easy to look after each other's pets while away or exchange useful information.

Live with the Pet You've Always Wanted! Pet-Friendly Share Houses♪

While pet-friendly properties are increasing, they are still not very common among standard apartments. However, many share houses, which often specialize in unique concepts, do allow pets.

Some properties allow both dogs and cats, though most are limited to one or the other. Renovated private homes may feature spacious gardens with dog runs, or foot-washing stations and laundry facilities for dogs returning from walks, rivaling pet-friendly apartments. Cat-friendly properties often feature cat walks and cat towers in private rooms, as well as dedicated laundry facilities for pet items in common areas. "Cat-inclusive" share houses, where rescue cats already live on-site, are also becoming a hot topic. Please note that security deposits may be higher, and you should check the terms regarding potential damage to your room before moving in.

If you love dogs or cats but are worried about taking care of one while living alone, why not make your dream a reality in a pet-friendly share house?♪
