Start showing property with tenants or wait until vacant

[Eric C.]

Tenants lease expires end of Feb and I posted on Zillow just to gauge market interest (make me move).  I've been getting a handful of responses to show the property, but I'm wondering if I should show it in the current condition.  The property needs new carpet and new paint, but otherwise, is in excellent condition (property was built in mid 2000s).  Current tenants have 2 dogs (medium size, hypo-allergenic, poodles) which need to be brought outside during the showings (bit of a hassle for the tenants, but they are fine with letting me show the property).  

Once the tenants move out, I plan on replacing the carpet and repainting the inside (color scheme will change to the more current trend of grey).  I'm also planning on using a listing agent to get full exposure.  

Is it even worth showing now? I'm just surprised how much interest I'm getting by only posting on Zillow with a make me move price. The price is probably +/- 2% of FMV. I'm just worried that some potential buyers will be turned off by the worn carpet/outdated paint, presence of dogs, and the fact that it was a rental for a few years.

Listing agent suggests to wait until the property vacant and cleaned up before listing on MLS. Problem of course is the holding costs of going this route.

I'm just wondering if it's worth showing at this point or should I just tell potential buyers to wait until the beginning of March to see the property.
