Oakley, CA 45 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Oakley is a quiet, rather new city located in the eastern portion of the San Francisco Bay Area. Currently, about 35,000 people call Oakley their home. Although the city was only incorporated in 1999, there's no shortage of places to live, learn, and play in this former farming town. Since Oakley is farther inland than San Francisco, the summers can be a little bit warmer than on the bay. But don't worry; temperatures rarely get above 96 degrees, and the winter temperatures don't often drop below 40 degrees. So if you're looking for extreme weather, you won't find it here, unless you're afraid of occasional rain and fog. Oh, and as you search for apartments in Oakley, don't confuse this city with Oakland, a much larger area closer to the bay. View Oakley City Guide

Finding an apartment in Oakley 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.
