Pet-Friendly Hotels in Sacramento? Stay at a Vacation Rental Instead
City of Trees House is a pet-friendly 3-bedroom vacation rental in Sacramento with a fully fenced backyard and hot tub. Up to two dogs or cats are welcome with prior approval and a $25 fee per pet for the stay, with no per-night charges.
Why a Vacation Rental Beats a Pet-Friendly Hotel
Most Sacramento pet-friendly hotels (Kimpton Sawyer, Hyatt Regency, Hilton Arden West, Embassy Suites Riverfront) charge a $50-75 non-refundable pet deposit plus an additional $25-50 per night per dog. On a typical 3-night stay that comes to $125 to $225 in pet charges alone, before the room rate. Our $25 per-pet fee covers the entire stay for up to two approved dogs or cats regardless of stay length. Beyond price, your dog gets a fully fenced backyard to run in, a king-sized memory-foam bed, and no elevator rides or hallway encounters with strangers — comforts that no pet-friendly hotel in the Sacramento area can match.
Detailed Pet Policy
Up to two dogs or cats are welcome with prior approval. The fee is $25 per pet per stay, not per night. Dogs must be potty-trained, current on vaccinations, and friendly with strangers. Dogs with a bite history or aggressive behavior are not permitted. Our insurance also restricts Pit Bulls, German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers, Chows, Akitas, wolves, wolf hybrids, and mixes of these breeds. Service animals are welcome free of charge per ADA, with no documentation needed.
What We Provide for Dogs
Two stainless steel pet bowls (one food, one water), a memory-foam dog bed in the living room, a small basket of basic dog toys, and an indoor crate (medium size) on request. The kitchen has a sealed pantry to keep curious noses out of food storage. The fully fenced backyard is approximately 0.15 acres with a 6-foot wood fence — large enough for a high-energy retriever to run laps without a leash. The neighborhood is residential and quiet, with no off-leash policy issues from neighbors.
Dog-Friendly Spots Near the House
Sacramento River Walk runs along the levee a 5-minute walk from the front door — paved, leashed dogs welcome, lit at night. Bryte Park (3 minutes) has off-leash hours dawn to 9 AM and 5 PM to dusk on weekdays. Capitol Park (7-minute drive) is a 40-acre downtown lawn dotted with statues and shaded paths, leashed dogs welcome year-round. American River Parkway (10 minutes) is a 32-mile multi-use trail along the river — spectacular for a long walk-and-swim morning. Miller Regional Dog Park in West Sacramento (8 minutes) is fully off-leash with separate small-dog and large-dog areas, water fountains, and benches. Petco West Sacramento (8 minutes) carries premium food brands if you forgot supplies.
Tips From Hosts Who Travel With Dogs
Bring a familiar blanket from home — the bed we provide is comfortable, but a familiar scent helps anxious dogs settle on the first night. Mid-day temperatures in Sacramento summers run 95-105°F; the hot tub and the back patio in shade work for guests, but the asphalt is too hot for paws between noon and 4 PM. Use the back patio for late afternoon and evening play. We keep extra poop bags in a small basket by the back door. Vet emergencies: 24-hour Sacramento Veterinary Specialty is 12 minutes away at 9801 Old Winery Place.
