CHARLOTTE, N.C., Oct. 13, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- PetScreening, the leading pet policy management software for the rental-housing industry, has announced that three of its leaders have been named 2026 Multifamily Influencers by GlobeSt. The award recognizes the contributions of CEO and founder John Bradford, Vice President of Education Victoria Cowart, and Director of Asset Owner Solutions Lori Trainer to the multifamily sector.

John Bradford, who launched PetScreening in 2017, has been instrumental in shaping the rental-housing industry through his platform. The software, which is offered at no charge to housing providers and property managers, has become the most widely adopted pet policy management platform in the rental-housing industry. It serves millions of units and helps operators implement more pet-inclusive policies, generating additional pet-related revenue.

Victoria Cowart, a CPM and a member of the NAAEI Faculty, has spearheaded PetScreening's educational initiatives for over three decades. Since joining the company in early 2021, Cowart has conducted more than 270 educational sessions with clients and industry groups. Her focus on mental health and proactive approaches to pet-related issues has been particularly impactful. Cowart emphasizes the importance of providing meaningful education to the industry, aiming to foster a more inclusive and responsible pet environment.

Lori Trainer, who joined PetScreening in 2025 after spending nearly 30 years in the owner/manager side of the industry, brings valuable firsthand knowledge to the company. Trainer's perspective on the daily challenges faced by operators has been crucial to PetScreening's continued expansion. She aims to offer continual support to clients, helping them find the right solutions and build trust in the PetScreening platform.

The Influencer Awards, among the most esteemed in the industry, will highlight the achievements of Bradford, Cowart, and Trainer. They will be recognized at GlobeSt's annual Multifamily Fall conference in San Diego on October 21-22. Bradford, Cowart, and Trainer's recognition underscores the significant impact PetScreening is making in the rental-housing space and its commitment to creating more pet-inclusive communities.
