Rolling Hills Estates, CA

129 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Rolling Hills Estates is a small, desirable community claiming the crown of Palos Verdes -- a green, lush, Mediterranean hill in southern Los Angeles County. Together with its neighbors Palos Verdes Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes, and Rolling Hills, Rolling Hills Estates offers everything for lovers of the finer things. This includes equestrians, thanks to miles of horse trails that line the streets of this sleepy suburb. At its founding in 1957, Rolling Hills Estates' population was only 3,500. The tiny size was by design: locals wanted to preserve their white fences, bridle trails, and open spaces. Today, the population is a smidge over 8,000 -- hardly a booming metropolis. The city's growth has been accomplished primarily by annexing surrounding areas throughout the years. See more

Finding an apartment in Rolling Hills Estates 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.
