Darnestown, MD

165 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Darnestown is an unincorporated place with just 6,802 residents. It's got a small-town feel, but if you're ever in the mood for that big city bustle, you can just head east to Rockville or northeast to Gaithersburg. The area's heyday was during the Civil War, when armies camped out there. So it makes sense that there are some historic buildings still left from that time, including Montanverde, an estate where Abraham Lincoln once spent the night. If it's waterfront views you're craving, you'll be glad to know that the Potomac River is just south of this area, while Chesapeake Bay is less than two hours east. Yep, Darnestown certainly has a prime location, which you'll get to enjoy once you pick your preferred rental housing and move in. See more

Finding an apartment in Darnestown 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.
