Gloucester Point, VA 144 Dog Friendly Apartments for Rent

Just an hour outside of Richmond, Virginia's capital, is Gloucester Point, a small, ocean town that's also a suburb. It's strange to consider a Richmond suburb and small Virginia city a beach destination, but that's just what Gloucester Point is, and it affords lovely seaside living with easy access to some of the best that the capital city has to offer. There was a Civil War battle at Gloucester Point in 1861, so information about this event is plentiful. Despite its war-torn past, this Virginia town is pretty peaceful today, and there's also plenty exciting and happening stuff going on. You won't have to escape to nearby Newport News or Richmond to feel like you can get a dose of culture, dining, or entertainment. Besides, they already get the lion's share of attention. It's time for Gloucester Point to take a bow! View Gloucester Point City Guide

Finding an apartment in Gloucester Point 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.
