Listings in suburban neighborhoods have the highest pet acceptance rates, but renters can also find many pet-friendly apartments.

But remember, these rules don't apply to certified service animals and emotional support animals (ESAs).

South Dakota's inventory is concentrated in regional hubs with retirement services and healthcare access, such as Rapid City and Aberdeen.
