Los Altos Hills, CA

154 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

The incorporated town of Los Altos Hills is in Santa Clara County, California. The population is around 8,000, and the town has a total area of approximately nine square miles. If you're not overly keen on experiencing an earthquake (and who in their right mind is?), do bear in mind that the Monte Vista and Altamont geological faults pass through the town. Fortunately however, the Altamont is no longer active, and the Monte Vista has seen little to no activity for an estimated 700,000 years. Thus, you can breathe easy! See more

Finding an apartment in Los Altos Hills that accepts your pet may not be easy, but it’s very possible. Keep in mind, most of the time you’ll have to pay a premium for bringing your dog along in your new apartment. Some apartments require you to pay monthly pet rent, others will ask for a non-refundable pet fee or a refundable pet deposit.

While landlords and property management companies have varying pet policies, most of them limit the number of dogs you can bring to your apartment and include breed and weight restrictions.

If your pet falls under some of the restrictions outlined in the pet policy, it’s still worth asking the landlord if they can make an exception for your dog. Preparing a pet resume ahead of time could help you build the case for your furry friend. Make sure to include information on behavioral training your dog went through over the years and proof of vaccinations. If you can, include references from your former landlord and/or neighbors.
