Orchards, WA

168 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Sure, Washington State is known for its apples, but there aren't too many growing in Orchards, WA (Johnny Appleseed didn't make it here). The census designated place on the east fringe of Vancouver is more suburb than farm these days, meaning that Orchards is on its way up the ranks. In spite of the fact that Orchards is what the area has been called for decades, there has never been an incorporated town -- but that doesn't stop residents from thinking otherwise. See more

Finding an apartment in Orchards 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.
