54 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Walkersville, Maryland, is a small town in Frederick County. The town claimed 5,800 residents as of the 2010 census, and it is a safe, suburban area. The town itself is just shy of five square miles, and it's bisected by Maryland Route 194. Walkersville has a lot of farmland, and the buildings and residences tend to be fairly spread out. This means that Walkersville is actually not that walkable -- how's that for irony? However, what it lacks in walkability, Walkersville makes up in peace and quiet. See more

Finding an apartment in Walkersville 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.
