Leases, deposits, and winter routines form the foundation of stable housing with pets in Alaska.
Move-in checklist
- Lease pet addendum, deposits/fees, and move-in photos.
- Booties, jackets, towels, paw balm, mat for meltwater near entry.
- Noise etiquette for dark hours; secure trash to deter wildlife.
- Local vet and 24/7 emergency contacts posted at home.
Set quick-break routines aligned with coldest hours, keep booties at exits, leash in common areas, and use motion lighting in rural settings to discourage wildlife near entryways.
