Total Pet Check vs Legacy Platforms

Looking for a modern alternative to legacy pet policy software? Total Pet Check is a pet compliance platform for property managers—built around AppFolio and RealPage sync, HUD assistance-animal affidavits, and a resident-pay model that stays free for property teams.

This page is a factual feature comparison based on how Total Pet Check works today. It is not a ranking, review score, or claim about any third-party vendor’s internal processes.

Side-by-side: Total Pet Check and leading alternatives

Use this table to see how Total Pet Check’s shipped features compare on the dimensions property managers usually evaluate when considering other pet compliance tools.

Capability
Common market option Legacy platforms
Total Pet Check What we ship
Cost to property managers
Often positioned as free for many property teams (confirm current terms with each vendor).
Free for property managers. Residents pay an annual pet profile fee ($30/pet). Verified ESA/PSD and No-Pet profiles are $0.

Pet rent / revenue visibility
Tools and reporting vary by plan; ask each vendor for ledger-audit specifics.

Established resident questionnaires and portals on many legacy platforms.
Mobile-friendly pet profile flow: vaccines, addendums, and payment in a short resident session.

When teams evaluate leading alternatives

Property managers often compare platforms on PMS fit, assistance-animal documentation, and who pays. Total Pet Check focuses on those operational needs for multifamily portfolios that already run AppFolio or RealPage.

  • ✓ AppFolio & RealPage: connect credentials in manager settings and sync rosters.
  • ✓ HUD-oriented ESA/PSD flow: optional provider affidavits under your property policy.
  • ✓ Resident-pay model: managers use the platform at $0; residents pay the annual pet fee when applicable.
  • ✓ Policy tools: weight/breed limits, custom addendums, vaccine reminders, and incident notes on the pet profile.
Fair comparison note

What we do not claim here

We do not claim a live national DNA database, a national incident database, or PMS integrations beyond AppFolio and RealPage OneSite as shipped today. Other pet compliance tools are separate products; confirm their current features and pricing directly if you are evaluating options.
