West Hollywood Pet Friendly Apartments for Rent
One of LA's most dog-friendly cities — verified cat and dog-welcome listings
Updated June 2026
Quick Answer
West Hollywood has one of the highest pet-ownership rates of any city in LA and unusually high dog-friendly infrastructure: off-leash areas at Plummer Park and West Hollywood Park, sidewalk restaurant patios that allow dogs, and a dense concentration of pet supply shops. Many WeHo apartments allow cats and/or dogs — listings on 14forrent are verified pet-friendly by the owner. Expect a refundable pet deposit of $200–$500 per pet on top of standard move-in costs.

Frequently Asked Questions — Pet-Friendly in West Hollywood
How easy is it to find a pet-friendly apartment in West Hollywood?
Easier than most LA neighborhoods. West Hollywood's culture skews heavily toward pet owners, and landlords here are generally more accommodating to cats and dogs than those in Beverly Hills or parts of Hollywood. Many listings specify 'cats and dogs welcome' rather than limiting to small pets only. The 14forrent listings page filters to verified pet-friendly units — meaning the owner has confirmed cats or dogs are allowed, not just 'negotiable'. Larger or more unusual pets (over 50 lbs, exotic breeds) should still be confirmed directly with the landlord.
Where can I walk my dog in West Hollywood?
West Hollywood has several dedicated dog-friendly areas. West Hollywood Park (647 N San Vicente Blvd) has an off-leash dog run open daily. Plummer Park (7377 Santa Monica Blvd) also has green space popular with dog owners. The Santa Monica Blvd and Melrose Ave corridors have numerous cafe and restaurant patios that allow leashed dogs. For off-leash trail hiking, Runyon Canyon in adjacent Hollywood (about a 10-minute drive) is one of the most popular dog hikes in LA. WeHo's flat terrain and wide sidewalks make it one of the most practical daily-walk cities in the region.
What extra costs should I expect for a pet-friendly WeHo apartment?
Most WeHo landlords charge a refundable pet deposit of $200–$500 per pet, sometimes in addition to a general security deposit. Some buildings — particularly newer mid-rise developments — also charge a monthly pet rent of $50–$100 per pet. Under California law, the total of all security deposits (including pet deposits) cannot exceed two months' rent for unfurnished units. If a listing advertises 'pet-friendly' but does not specify costs, ask the owner directly before applying. The 14forrent listing contact form makes it easy to ask this before you tour.
Can I have a dog in a rent-controlled West Hollywood apartment?
Having a pet does not affect WeHo RSO coverage — rent stabilization protections apply to the unit, not to whether pets are allowed. However, some older RSO leases include pet restrictions that were set at the time the tenancy began. If you are moving into a new RSO-covered unit, negotiate the pet policy in writing before signing. Landlords in RSO-covered units cannot raise rent above the 2.25% annual cap simply because you have a pet, but they can include pet deposits within the California security deposit cap.
