207 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

A former agricultural center, Rio Linda was first settled in the modern era by just two families in the early 1900s. First owned by the Fruit Land Company of Minneapolis, poultry farming became the banner attraction to the area by the 1920s. Today, Rio Linda is a large suburb of Sacramento. While its history isn't prominently featured these days, its desirable proximity to downtown Sacramento and local amenities make it the perfect place to rent. See more

Finding an apartment in Rio Linda 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.
