Regular vacuuming, grooming your pet, washing pet bedding, cleaning food areas, and wiping muddy paws can help keep your apartment fresh and tidy. Using pet-friendly cleaning products is also a great way to maintain a clean home.

Many Richdale apartment communities welcome cats and dogs. Pet policies, including breed restrictions, fees, and other requirements, vary by community. Visit the community page you're interested in or contact the leasing office for the most up-to-date pet policy and available pet-friendly apartment homes.

PooPrints is a pet waste management program that helps keep apartment communities clean and enjoyable for everyone. The program uses DNA technology to encourage responsible pet ownership and reduce pet waste left in common areas.

When a dog is registered with the community, a simple, painless cheek swab is collected to create a DNA profile. If uncollected pet waste is found in designated areas, it may be tested and compared to registered DNA profiles according to the community's policies.

At Richdale communities that participate in the PooPrints program, each dog must be registered with the Leasing Office within three (3) days of move-in. Registration is quick, safe, and painless, requiring only a simple cheek swab to create your dog's DNA profile. If you add a dog to your household after moving in, please contact your Leasing Office to complete the registration process according to your community's pet policy.
