Live the Pug Life in One of These Pet-Friendly Apartments in Los Angeles

LA is a paradise for pets! Apartments ranging from the down-to-earth to the swanky boast a variety of pet-friendly policies and cool pet amenities. These range from pet spas to handy on-site dog walking parks—but will your furry friend be happy with LA as a whole?

It certainly seems like Fido will have no reason to complain about a lack of pet-friendly spots in LA. Besides having no shortage of off-leash parks and special dog parks, many LA restaurants will allow pooches on the patio. Fluffy can get a grooming at any one of the many pet salons, and for those who prefer a day by the ocean with the fur-kids, dog beaches offer further off-leash retreats.

Pet owners will have pricked up their ears at the mention of pet-friendly apartments in Los Angeles, and sniffing around for one is easy with RentCafe, as it offers more than 600 pet-friendly listings to choose from in Los Angeles. We take a sampling of five of them, so you can see what treats are in store.

Rancho Los Feliz — Atwater Village — rents starting at $1,000 — Check availability

Offering apartments from $1,000, this Atwater Village apartment community has a name that immediately makes you think ‘cat’. Cats are kind of exclusive pets, so it comes as no surprise that this smart complex is purr-ley cat-friendly. Put down a deposit of $400, and madame or monsieur cat is absolutely welcome, and there’s no shortage of luxury amenities on offer. There are breed restrictions though, so a pet tiger may get caught up in the screening process…

Chateau Woodley Hart Apartments — Van Nuys —rents starting at $1,220 — Check availability

Still looking for the right apartment for Fido? This Van Nuys apartment block with rentals from $1,220 per month could be for you—provided you don’t aim to bring along a pooch that’s bigger than 30 pounds. Cats are also welcome, and the refundable deposit for both cats and dogs costs $250. Monthly cat rent is $25, and you’ll pay $35 to have your canine pal join you. Pet parents will enjoy the convenience of being near major shopping areas, and they’re sure to enjoy the gorgeous swimming pool!

Granada — Sherman Oaks — rents starting at $1,450 — Check availability

Settle down in Sherman Oaks in rental apartments from $1,450. Cat-ma and cat-pa stay rent free and as for your pup, there’s no deposit—just a pet rent of $35 per month. It’s not exactly the right place for a bull mastiff, as 25 pounds is the maximum accepted doggie weight. Time to put Fifi on a diet? You might want to do just that—so you can enjoy the luxury finishes in your smart apartment and the pool and gym facilities.

Azure The Residences — Del Rey —rents starting at $2,675 — Check availability

As smart as their name, apartments at Azure The Residences start at $2,675 and feature ultra-luxury finishes with many units having waterfront views. Once again, it’s kitties only at this Del Rey community, but you can have two fur pals, and you’ll only pay $25 per month per kitty. There’s also a refundable $250 deposit, just in case the constant occasional claw-sharpening damages that upmarket décor. While your feline boss enjoys a nap, you can enjoy the rooftop relaxation and BBQ area, and that waterfront view. What could be better?

Rubix Hollywood — Hollywood —rents starting at $4,710 — Check availability

You and your pets can live it up in style in a trendy apartment from $4,710 at Rubix Hollywood. Dogs and cats are both welcome, and you can have a pet family of two as long as your biggest ‘baby’ weighs no more than 40 pounds. Possible pet damage is covered by a $500 deposit, and you’ll pay $50 per pet per month rent. It’s well worth it, with five-star amenities for both pets and their humans to enjoy.
