Tips for Pet Owners When Apartment Hunting

When you’re searching for an apartment with pets in mind, it helps to evaluate more than “pets allowed.”

1. Read the full pet policy before you tour
   Look for limits on number of pets, deposits/fees, and any restrictions. Whitby welcomes up to two pets, with a 100-pound maximum weight and breed restrictions. Find other details like pet rent and deposit here: Whitby Amenities & Pet Policy
2. Ask about day-to-day pet convenience
   A dog park, nearby walking routes, and fast package access can make a bigger difference than people expect. Whitby’s 24/7 package lockers are a practical perk for daily life.  
3. Consider outdoor access
   If your pet benefits from a little outdoor space, apartments with private outdoor areas can be a gamechanger. At Whitby, private patios and balconies are available.
4. Check your storage and cleanup setup
   Pet life comes with gear. Features like oversized closets and in-home laundry can make day-to-day routines easier to maintain.
