Dog friendly suburbs/houses

Hi!

I'm planning to move back to Australia (Sydney) by the end of year, and in the next I'd like to bring the rest of my family (partner and 2 dogs). I'm finding it difficult to find anybody who would like to lease a house to somebody with pets. I won't brag about how clean and traind they both are, together with us, their tidy professional owners
I'd just like if somebody could recommend a real estate that might deal with such things, or a suburb that animals are welcome. Although I just adore Australia and Sydney and miss it for many reasons, I find it not so much dog-friendly. I hope I'm wrong,

You're going to be in for better than electric shock therapy when your feet hit the pavements in old Sydney town1

There have been no end of regular current affair reports on people queuing in Sydney on weekends to view rentals and then people allegedly offering higher than rental asked to get a place, so first hurdle to overcome.

Then you mention pets and you may not even get permission to queue.
I do think landlords, especially closer into Sydney can afford to be very selective and even without petted tenant experience they have probably heard of stories of destruction and/or fleas and/or annoyed non petted neighbours - barking dogs apparently being the top complaint to councils in some suburbs/cities.

And mate you're hearing this from a two dog fella but then rural life is beaut,
but if I had a city rental I'd even hesitate to rent to people having pets, having once moved into a flat full of fleas!

I'd reckon your best bet is going to be get what you can of max convenience to work/lifestyle and then work on the pet housing once you're settled as it is going to take quite a few months to organise the dogs through quarantine requirements.

If you google "Sydney Pet Friendly Real Estate", other than a heap of holiday places you do come up with 2513/101 BATHURST STREET SYDNEY if you have got a cool $650,000 but not much running room for the dogs.

I reckon you'll be better off re finding something for the dogs if you go further out and keep Sydney for visiting.

Thanks Wanderer. Well, I expected answer like that.
I do not necesserally need to move very close to Sydney cbd, although our work will be there for sure. I am looking for a house with a yard for dogs in Sydney )and surrounding suburbs) area. And yes, I do understand the house owners because some people are really filthy with or without pets.
Well hopefully in years time (when quarrantine and visa for my partner are sorted) i will find something. If not then... grrr
