A fenced yard for the whole stay
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. Here, one 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, 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 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.

Tips From Hosts Who Travel With Dogs
Bring a familiar blanket from home. 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. Vet emergencies: 24-hour Sacramento Veterinary Specialty is 12 minutes away at 9801 Old Winery Place.
What guests say

Pet-Friendly Sacramento Rental FAQ
Does City of Trees House allow dogs and cats?
Yes. Up to two pets (dogs or cats) are welcome with prior approval and a $25 fee per pet. Dogs with a bite history, aggressive behavior, or breeds restricted by our insurance policy are not permitted. The house has a fully fenced backyard, and we provide pet bowls.
How does the pet fee work?
$25 per approved pet covers the entire stay, up to two dogs or cats. That's significantly lower than many Sacramento pet-friendly hotels, which typically charge $50-150 total plus $25-50 per night.
Is the backyard really fully fenced?
Yes. Solid 6-foot fence on all sides. Your dog can run off-leash, dig in the dirt, chase squirrels, or just nap in the sun. The yard is large enough for zoomies and has a grass area, patio, fire pit, and grill.
Why bring a dog to this whole house?
For longer stays or traveling with 2+ people, a vacation rental almost always wins. Pet-friendly Sacramento hotels charge per-night pet fees of $25-75, limit dogs to specific rooms, and don't have a private yard. At our house, your dog has their own backyard, you have your own kitchen, and the math works out to less per person.
Are there dog parks near City of Trees House?
Yes. City of Trees House is about 1.4 miles from the Sacramento River Walk, about a 30-minute walk. It is about 2.7 miles from the California State Capitol, about an 8-minute drive, where Capitol Park has 40 acres of lawn and gardens. Bryte Park and the American River Parkway are other options. We also share a dog-walking guide with guests.
Can I leave my dog at the house alone?
We prefer you don't leave pets unattended in the house — they can get stressed in unfamiliar environments and bark. If you need coverage for a Kings game or day out, we can recommend vetted local dog walkers, daycare options (Camp Bow Wow, Pet Club Sacramento), and a great dog-friendly restaurant list where you can bring them along.
Are there breed or behavior restrictions?
Yes. Dogs with a bite history or aggressive behavior are not permitted. Our insurance policy also prohibits Pit Bulls, German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers, Chows, Akitas, Wolves, wolf hybrids, and any mix of these breeds.
Do you have supplies for dogs?
We provide food and water bowls and access to the fenced yard. Bring your own food, leash, and any medications. If you forget supplies, there's a Petco 8 minutes away.
