Pet fit

Whether a home suits your dog, cat or small animal: stairs, floors, a crate and litter spot, a pet door, fall-risk windows, the yard’s size, slope, shade and fence, the pool, busy roads, the pet policy and fees, and dog parks and vets nearby.

What it answers

• Is this house good for my 70 lb lab?
• Does this apartment allow a dog over 50 lb?
• Can my older dog live here without stairs?
• Is it safe for an indoor cat?

For the agent, the tool is described as: Per pet profile (dog by weight and age, indoor or outdoor cat, small animal), a verdict with reasons for one home: from the scan (stairs, open floor, floor finishes read in the panoramas, a crate or pen spot, a litter box 3 m from food, a pet door candidate with the route to the yard, upper-floor windows and balconies), from Vexcel (yard behind the house, flat share from ground heights, tree shade, fence, pool), from CoStar (the community’s pet policy, weight limit, pet rent and fees; the listing’s fence, floor and pet lines) and OpenStreetMap (busy road, next building, dog parks, vets, emergency vets). Works on a house, an apartment unit, a phone scan (indoor only) or a point (outdoor only).

Who it is for

Cat owner in an apartment, Dog owner choosing a home, Older dog that cannot do stairs.

Inputs

Input	Type	Required	Default	Notes
scan	string			Scan id, if the site has one. Filled from the selected building.
property_id	integer			CoStar PropertyId, for a commercial address.
lat	number			Latitude, for an address with no scan.
lon	number			Longitude, for an address with no scan.
pets	array		[]	One profile per pet; each gets its own verdict. Empty: built from the fields below. Saved preference pets.profile.
dog_lb	number (lb)			A dog’s weight, in pounds. Saved preference pets.dog_lb.
dog_age	string		"adult"	The dog’s age. Saved preference pets.dog_age. One of: young, adult, senior.
cat	string		"none"	A cat, indoor or outdoor. Saved preference pets.cat. One of: none, indoor, outdoor.
small_animal	boolean		false	A rabbit, guinea pig, bird or reptile.
use_vision	boolean		true	Read floor finishes in the panoramas and a fence from the aerial photo (cached).
nearby	boolean		true	Look up dog parks, vets and trails in OpenStreetMap (cached).
riser_m	number (m)		0.178	Saved preference access.riser_m. Range: more than 0.1, at most 0.25.

An input that nothing fills (the selected building, a saved preference, a persona’s preset) becomes a question to the person. The agent asks only for those.

Data used

Layer	Id	Needed	If it is missing
Rooms	matterport.rooms	required	The verdict is unknown, with the reason.
Aerial property facts	vexcel.property	optional	The tool runs without it.
Property record	costar.property	optional	The tool runs without it.
Places	osm.places	optional	The tool runs without it.

What it returns

A tool result: a verdict (pass, warn, fail or unknown), metrics, checks and findings, each with its source.

• Draws on the building: a box or 3D model placed in the room; a route with its narrow points; pins on what it found; doors, walls or rooms coloured by status.
• Panel blocks: VerdictHeader, MetricRow, CheckList, EvidenceStrip, FloorPlanMini, AssumptionChips, StepLog.
• Speed: slow. Read-only.

How it works

Pet fit: is this home right for these pets? Per pet profile (a dog by weight and age, an indoor or outdoor cat, a small animal), a verdict with reasons, from the scan (stairs, open floor, floor finishes, a crate or pen spot, a litter box away from food, a pet door to the yard, windows and balconies a cat could fall from), the air (yard off the footprint, flat share from Vexcel ground heights, tree shade, a fence, the pool), the records (the apartment community’s pet policy, weight limit and fees; the listing’s fence, floor and pet lines), and OpenStreetMap (busy road, next building, dog parks, vets, emergency vets, trails).

Reliability

Sources this tool gave on the test home:

Where it came from	Layer	Method	Reliability	Note
Measured from the scan	matterport	geometry	low	Floor heights from the panoramas; the step count is the rise over a 17.8 cm riser
Measured from the scan	matterport	geometry	medium	Matterport wall graph, empty rooms
Measured from a model	model	geometry	medium	Rules over the measured checks; see each check’s source

The tool sets the label for each value. A model never does. The tools give a scan’s wall graph the layer matterport whichever device made the scan, so a phone scan’s geometry carries that label too.

Limits

• Needs: rooms. On a scan without it, the verdict is unknown and says why.
• It is slow: progress steps reach the workspace while it runs.
• A result is a planning aid, not an inspection.

On the made-up test home

This section was written by running the tool when the docs were built, on a hand-made RoomPlan export (no real place was scanned), with no sponsor keys and the network switched off.

Inputs used: pets = [{"kind": "cat", "outdoor": false}] (preset of the persona “Cat owner in an apartment”); cat = "indoor" (preset of the persona “Cat owner in an apartment”).

Pass Indoor cat: fits.

Value	Result	Where it came from	Reliability
Most steps from the entrance floor (estimate)	0 steps	Measured from the scan	low
Longest open room	5.89 m	Measured from the scan	medium

Check	Measured	Against	Status
Indoor cat: A litter box spot away from food	7.55	3 m	pass
Indoor cat: Upper-floor windows and balconies screened	0	0 openings	pass

Findings: 5 pass.

What it reported while it ran:

1. Home; records: none in the kit
2. Indoors: 1 floors, 1 exterior doors for a pet door, 0 upper-floor windows
