Pet-Friendly Housing Near Hospitals
Browse 8 pet-friendly listings across 3 metros. Built for healthcare workers who travel with their pets.
Traveling with Pets as a Healthcare Worker
For many travel nurses and healthcare professionals, leaving a pet behind is not an option. Your dog or cat is family, and finding housing that welcomes them is a top priority when choosing your next assignment. The challenge is that many furnished rentals and short-term leases do not allow pets, which can significantly narrow your options.
We tag every listing in our database with pet-friendliness so you can filter upfront. No more scrolling through dozens of apartments only to find out they do not allow your golden retriever. Use our pet-friendly filter on any hospital page to see only listings that welcome your companion.

Tips for Pet-Friendly Housing
Check Restrictions First
Many "pet-friendly" rentals have breed restrictions, weight limits, or only allow cats. Always confirm your specific pet is welcome before applying.
Budget for Extra Costs
Pet deposits ($200-$500) and monthly pet rent ($25-$75) add up. Factor these into your housing budget alongside your stipend calculation.
Look for Green Space
If you have a dog, proximity to parks or walking trails is essential. Ground-floor units with patios are ideal for quick outdoor breaks during long shift days.
Plan for Pet Care
12-hour shifts mean your pet will be alone for long stretches. Look into local dog walkers, pet sitters, or doggy daycares near your housing.
