590 rooms (often cheaper but may restrict pets)
Sublets/vacation rentals (fewer pet options)

Neighborhoods like Capitol Hill, Bellevue, Redmond, and Renton frequently have pet-friendly units. Filter for "private landlords" to avoid corporate pet restrictions.

Tips for Renting with Pets

Bring vaccination records and pet references (past landlords, vet contacts).
Smaller pets (<20 lbs) face fewer restrictions.
Offer a pet resume to stand out—include training certificates.
Clarify breed/weight limits before touring.
