So I want to bring my dog with myself traveling and I don’t keep my dogs in closed areas with a roof, because he doesn’t like it. So I always look for renting flats with small yards which are not covered with a roof. I have noticed that in some apartments, the first flat has a small yard to itself. What are such flats called?

Are you looking for a garden flat?
From Lexico:
garden flat
nounA basement or ground floor flat which opens on to a garden.
Examples of a garden flat:

The flat opens to or has direct access to a garden, which, of course, has no roof.

1Minor note: one might be tempted, to translate "flat" as "apartment" for the US. At least in the northeast, a "garden apartment" is something specific (and has a different meaning).– YorikMay 20, 2022 at 17:53

1@Yorik: I wasn't sure, because OP mentioned both "apartment" and "flat". I went with garden flat because it is a term that can be found in dictionaries.– JustinMay 20, 2022 at 18:39

@Justin - If you are going to the US, you will not get what you want with "garden flat" -- people will look at you confused, or think you want six little pots of annuals or vegetables to transplant into your garden. Try "garden apartment with a fence or wall around the back yard." Or "apartment or house with a dog fence." May 20, 2022 at 19:03

@Justin yeah, I wasn't sure either, as the OP says "flat with a yard," which is also simultaneously British and North American..– YorikMay 20, 2022 at 20:17

Should it be opening to garden necessarily? Or could be opening to a none-green place?– SasanMay 21, 2022 at 20:29
