If you're looking for a home to rent in the Denver to Boulder vicinity, including Arvada, you already know availability is tight. And if you want a place that will take pets, your situation is even tougher.
In a market where landlords can pick from 10 to 15 applicants, most will eliminate folks who have pets.
Have you considered buying your own Denver to Boulder home instead of continuing to rent? With today's low interest rates and low prices, mortgage payments can be lower than rent, and you may get an interest-based tax deduction too.
It is true that you need a good credit score and enough monthly income compared to your debt, in order to qualify for a loan. But I have discovered that many people who haven't even thought about buying a house because they assumed they couldn't qualify, actually find that they CAN!
And those who can't qualify right now, may be able to qualify within a few months to a year, if they will work with a knowledgeable and helpful lender.
Who knows? You could be a homeowner next year, or next month, and then you don't have to worry about someone discovering that you have a dog or cat!
And if you get a house with a yard, you could also have flower gardens, fruit trees, vegetable gardens, chickens (in Arvada!), you get the idea!
Not sure how to get started? Give me a call, let's chat!

How to buy a house Denver to Boulder.
I am a residential real estate agent, happily helping folks buy a house or sell a house in the beautiful and friendly suburbs northwest of Denver.
Read what past clients have said about me.
I write posts on the communities between Denver and Boulder, to give people an idea of the ‘flavor’ of our community, in case they’re new or moving to the Denver area.
