Uniondale, NY

64 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Uniondale is a hamlet on Long Island in the town of Hempstead. It's basically a suburb of New York City and many of the residents travel to New York every day for work. It's a 45 minutes drive from Uniondale to midtown Manhattan or a little over an hour if you hop on the Long Island Rail Road. You'll find much better prices here than you can in Manhattan and it's just outside of Queens so you can basically consider yourself a New Yorker even though you have more space and aren't living in a closet-sized studio! There are plenty of rental properties available here and, like most residents, you'll probably get used to the commute after a few months. Just program in your favorite radio stations and jam to some great tunes on the way in and out of the city and you'll be just fine. See more

Finding an apartment in Uniondale 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.
