Creating Pet-Friendly ADUs: Tips from the ADU Show Episode 13


Welcome, pet lovers! Today, we're diving into a furry-friendly topic on the ADU show: with our Award winning ADU Expert Host Noura Bishay, designing your space to accommodate your beloved pets. Joining us is Melissa Dolo , founder of Pup Rider, to share her expertise on creating comfortable, convenient, and safe environments for our four-legged friends.


Melissa kicks off by introducing Pup Rider, a pet taxi service in San Diego, designed to cater to the needs of busy pet owners. As the world transitions back to office life post-pandemic, Melissa's service ensures that pets maintain an active lifestyle even when their owners are on the go.

But beyond transportation, Melissa emphasizes the importance of home design for pets' well-being. From convenient storage solutions to outdoor safety measures, she shares invaluable insights gathered from years of experience in pet care.



Convenience Matters:

1. Flooring Choices: Opt for easy-to-clean vinyl flooring over carpet to handle pet messes effortlessly.

2. Organized Storage: Create designated spaces for pet essentials like leashes, toys, and grooming supplies to keep your home clutter-free.

3. Outdoor Access: Provide seamless access to the backyard for your furry friends, making potty breaks and playtime hassle-free.




Comfort Enhancements:

1. Noise Reduction: Choose solid wood doors and soundproofing measures to minimize external disturbances for your pets.

2. Natural Light: Maximize natural light and air circulation with ample windows, creating a comfortable living environment.

3. Air Quality: Install HEPA filters to ensure fresh, clean air, especially in compact living spaces shared with pets.




Safety Precautions:

1. Secure Entrances: Implement double locks and smart devices to prevent pets from escaping and ensure their safety when home alone.

2. Smart Technology: Utilize smart thermostats, cameras, and Alexa-enabled devices for added security and convenience.

3. Pet-Friendly Design: Consider pet-safe landscaping and sound insulation to minimize stress and discomfort for your furry companions.
