190 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

If you want to shrink the playing field in the daily game of stress that comes with big-city living, check out the quaint little burg of Willow Grove, PA, a northern suburban neighbor of metro giant Philadelphia. The area surrounding Willow Grove traces its roots to none other than the noted English real estate administrator and philosopher, William Penn, who, in the late 17th century, founded this valuable chunk of North American property that eventually grew into today's state of Pennsylvania. His great libertarian and democratic principles were most instrumental in Philadelphia eventually adopting the nickname of "The City of Brotherly Love," which still stands proudly as its motto in the modern age.

Finding an apartment in Willow Grove 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.
