No.

Oh so many times. I have been successful in rounding them up too. If the seller knows they have an escapee why would they leave the pet loose in teh house? Besides turning off some buyers, it is distracting and takes attention away from selling the house.

Thanks goodness, no!  That scenario becoming reality is one of my greatest real estate fears.

Not yet.

Nover had one get out of a hose.

Yes...I called the agent and told them that they sellers did not have the cat secured like we were told.  Then we left.

I've had a few pets escape over the years. I have noticed that sellers tend to crate their dogs more now than before.  Often cats will 'hide' from strangers, but the bottom line is if we are notified about a pet and are careful, any 'escapee' is really the fault of the owner.  I will not run around chasing a pet fugitive, but the listing office will be notified.

William - thankfully, no.  I agree with Jill Murty, Realtor - I don't want it to happen either.  

William, I had a cat slip out one time.  Contacted the listing agent and apologized, but that sucker was too quick for me!

Oh my gosh, thankfully not. But an agent showing one of my listings once let a dog get out that was almost hit by a Fifth Avenue bus in NYC.

Yes...a cat into an attached garage under a car who refused to come out until "Mom" got home after the open house.

William Feela - funny you asked that! I had a tough time getting a cat back in the house who sneaked out of the house at showing! Eventually, I called the listing agent about this - and fortunately as we were leaving, the cat stopped near the door!

Just my own.  I hope I never have to face that during a showing.

No, fortunatley.  I won't go in a house with a loose dog, but usually the cats run and hine.

Thankfully that has never happened to me. 

I do not show houses that make it my problem.

No....I am careful not to let them close to the door.

I try to be very careful about it. So far, so good. It is the responsibility of a listing agent to make sure that I know about the possibility of such run away. 

Yes, I did.  The listing agent didn't know or didn't  disclose that a loose dog was in the home and he was an escape artist.  As soon as the door opened, he shot out and ran like crazy.  Buyers and I finally rounded him up three streets away. 

When I lived in the country I had a golden retriever that would get out every chance he got.  I could never catch him.  But thankfully, he always came home, eventually.

Yup, a dog, and like Scott Godzyk said, it was absolutely no fun.

Yes a dog and no it was not fun. Thank heaven the neighbor caught him. It is why dogs should be crated or removed for showings. Too risky
