The work often covers:
Protective equipment is put on, and the crew plans for ammonia, dust, pests and sharp objects. Utilities and exits are checked.
Affected rooms are separated from clean ones, and hauling paths are planned. This keeps odor and dust from spreading.
Heavy waste and debris go first, then ruined materials, then scrubbing and disinfecting. The work moves from the worst rooms outward.
Odor treatment follows cleaning, and the team notes any floors, walls or fixtures that need a builder. Pest control is recommended where needed.

Confirm that the animals are out, take photos if possible and note any deadline from a landlord, a city office or a sale. If you are the owner or caller, you do not need every detail before calling.
Usually not. Policies often exclude cleaning caused by long-term conditions, though some cover sudden events such as a burst pipe. Read the policy or ask the agent, take photos and keep every receipt.

Often the owner, resident or family pays. For a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant. Animal control or a rescue group takes care of the animals and usually does not pay for cleaning the home. Some communities offer help for older adults or people with disabilities.
