5 Types of Pets That Are Great for Apartment Living

When you live in an apartment, you may enjoy the lifestyle of having a temporary home while saving money and enjoying the countless amenities. However, when you live in our pet-friendly apartments for rent in Wilson, NC, you may see other residents walking their dogs or petting their cats, and you may start to get a little lonely yourself. Over time, you may consider getting a pet that can provide you with company at home. These are a few types of pets that are great for apartment living.

Small Dogs

Dogs make some of the best companions, as they can cuddle, play, and love you unconditionally.  For this reason, they are among one of the most popular pets people choose when they live in an apartment.  However, you will want to consider the size of the dog you choose, and always check with your apartment complex regulations.  Many complexes only allow dog breeds of specific sizes.

Cats

Because of their low maintenance and easygoing personalities, cats make great apartment pets.  They are also much quieter than dogs, which allows them to thrive in tight community living situations.  Cats also typically thrive in indoor situations, and they can be left alone for a few hours without needing attention.

Fish

For those looking to get a pet without many cleaning responsibilities, fish are a great option.  Fish tanks can be affordable or expensive, depending on the size and style you choose.  Some of the easiest pets to care for are fish simply because they only require weekly tank cleanings and daily food in their tank.  Fish are also great pets for those who work long hours at Florida Regional Hospital or who do not want as much responsibility but still want a pet.

Guinea Pigs and Hamsters

If you are a fan of the furry companions but do not want a large animal in your home, guinea pigs and hamsters are another alternative.  These furry friends are caged animals that only require a little bit of space in your apartment.  Their needs are much less than some of their other furry friends, which make them a great pet to keep in your small apartment.

Snakes and Lizards

For those who enjoy an exotic pet, you may want to consider snakes and lizards.   Because these animals only require a tank, food, and water to thrive, they don't take up much space in your apartment.  It is worth noting that these animals also typically require live animals to be fed on a routine basis. 

If you are ready for a companion at home, you should consider getting one of these pets that are great for the apartment lifestyle. When you live in our pet-friendly apartments for rent in Wilson, NC, you can enjoy all the amenities that both you and your pet can enjoy.
