Hershey, PA

37 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Hershey, Pennsylvania began life as a model company town, but it's grown into one of the nation's top tourist attractions. Built by Hershey Chocolate founder Milton S. Hershey in 1907 as an idyllic place for his employees to enjoy their lives after working hours, it soon began to attract others because of its bucolic, small town charm. With a population of 14,257, it continues to be the international headquarters for Hershey Chocolate, but is also a thriving resort town with mega attractions for all ages. With all this going on, Hershey is still just a small town at heart, with an authentic Main Street USA vibe that cuts through all the tourist attractions. If you're longing for the bright lights of the big city, Harrisburg is only 15 miles away -- but then, Harrisburg doesn't have chocolate rides. See more

Finding an apartment in Hershey 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.
