Arlington, WA

36 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Located on the Stillaguamish River in Snohomish County, Arlington is a lovely town in Washington State. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside and has excellent transportation links to other major cities. Live here and you're close enough to Seattle for the convenience but far enough out of town to feel as though you have space. In other words, you are far enough away from Seattle that people won't confuse you with a coffee-shop-hanger-on-wannabe-grunge-band member. You'll also have Puget Sound and the Cascade Mountains close by for outdoor activities and relaxing. There's a lot of history and heritage here too, from the Native American culture to pioneers and the railroad. Arlington is a friendly town with a good community spirit, and there is always something happening, even though it is a quieter place to live. Before long, you'll be volunteering for something, just like your neighbors. That's the spirit of Arlington. See more

Finding an apartment in Arlington 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.
