Sunset Hills, MO

210 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Sunset Hills is a city in St. Louis County, in the state of Missouri. Cityhood for Sunset Hills was granted in 1957 and its area continued to expand with community annexations made from 1994 to 1997. The largest addition is South Gravois and part of eastern Meramec River made up of 980 acres. Sunset Hills now covers a total area of 9.10 square miles. It is uncertain who gave the city its name, except that an old lady clamored for it in awe of the lovely sunset views from her bedroom window. But for all its many nature-inspired gifts, the city is more popular as the headquarters of Panera Bread, the highly successful chain of bakery-cafes operating 1,500 chains across 40 states in the US, with expansions in Canada.

Finding an apartment in Sunset Hills 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.
