Never done it before apart from a council flat umpteen years ago.
I get on rightmove and enquire about a place and all I get is an email saying it is no longer available. A small number of them state pet-friendly quite a few say no pets and the majority don't say either way. rightmove doesn't have a pets or children filter. Must I really enquire about everything that doesn't say about pets and then be prepared for most of them to say I can't bring my cat?
What's the typical lead time from deciding you want a place to moving in?

From my experience about 7 years ago it takes about a week for all that and you usually move in at the start of the following month
you'll deal directly with the landlord rather than going through an Agent (I use it for renting our flat)...it's great for both Landlords and tenants. Tenants only pay £20 for referencing and then the required deposit and first month's rent.
Allows landlords to get someone in who they're happy with and gives tenants the opportunity to negotiate things like pets (we just charge an extra amount on the deposit for a pet and add it into the contract).
Our deposit is 1 month rent, our local agents are now asking for 3 months up front and sometimes plus a guarantor from a homewoner.
Typical move in cost for private LL is about half that via an agent...avoid all agents if at all possible, it will not have a happy ending.
From enquiry to moving in can be as little as 3-4 days or as much as 2-3 months.
Pets can sometimes be covered with a separate insurance policy.
