Rockville, CT

42 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Rockville is located in Tolland County, Connecticut. It is a quaint community of a little more than 7,400 residents, and is part of the larger town of Vernon. It got its name in 1837 as the mail service needed a place to deliver parcels. Since it was known for its rock mill, the name Rockville was chosen because of the common term visitors used called "Going to the Rock." And therefore Rockville was born! Much of Rockville is part of the Rockville Historic District, reflecting the town's historic roots of mills, farms and villages. Located in the Northeastern part of Connecticut, Tolland county sits on the outskirts of Hartford, the State Capitol, and is not far from another major city, Springfield, Massachusetts. Rockville combines the charm of a small town while being just a short drive from two major New England cities, so there is truly something for everyone! See more

Finding an apartment in Rockville 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.
