362 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Pitman's history can be traced back to 1871 when it was selected to be the base of the Methodist summer camp. The historic auditorium was designed to have 12 roads originating from the center, akin to the spokes on a wheel. In this case, there was a deeper hidden meaning as they were meant to symbolize the 12 disciples of Jesus Christ. To date, there exists an area in the tabernacle where a visitor can look down at all 12 avenues. Back in the old days, worshipers arrived from far-flung areas, and it was only a matter of time before they settled down with their families. Soon, the worshipers' tents lining each of the twelve roads were replaced with cottages -- and this was the start of Pitman, a borough in Gloucester County, steeped in historical legacies and culture. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. Covering a total surface area of just 2.308 square miles, Pitman enjoys its proximity to international hubs such as Philadelphia, Washington and New York. See more

Finding an apartment in Pitman 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.
