Sheffield Lake, OH

36 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Welcome to Sheffield Lake, the land by Lake Erie. Cleveland is just a hop, jump, and another hop to the east. Home to 9,137 people, this Lorain County city was constructed by a happening Lake Road scene and rock and roll music (of course). The city is indeed a part of greater Cleveland, which is evident by the amount of Browns jerseys seen on Sunday. Anyway, within this northeastern Ohio metropolitan area, Sheffield Lake is a nice choice, especially since it's still by Lake Erie. Just when the city seems like it's snoozing, a gust of wind from that lake calls everybody to rise, and rock! See more

Finding an apartment in Sheffield Lake 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.
