About: I have grown up taking care of many different breeds and ages over the past 19 years from puppies to seniors up to 16. I'm experienced with house training, obedience training, and medication administration (including insulin shots for diabetic dogs). I've had the privilege of pet sitting for many friends, family and neighbors, which has included potty breaks, baths, walks, feeding, and some grooming. All pets I look after always receive lots of attention and lots of lovins, as I treat other's pets I am looking after like they're my own. :) I am in between jobs at the moment, so I have a lot of free time on my hands that I would love to spend taking care of fur babies! -If boarded at my home, I live in a townhouse that is pet friendly and includes surrounding yard areas. I share it with my adopted 6 year old fur baby, Ellie, that is a red lab mix. She is caught up on all vaccines, neutered and sees the vet regularly. Ellie is an absolute sweetheart to all dogs and people she is around. If you or your pet prefer to not be around another animal, I can always crate my pet or keep her in a separate room if needed.😊 -If pet sitting at owner's home, I would be very respectful and follow any and all directions the best I can. If preferred, I can send updates with pictures of your fur baby/babies and how they're doing as much as you'd like.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our three dogs received! From the moment we left, she kept us updated with regular messages and adorable photos that gave us total peace of mind. It was so clear she treated them not just as clients, but as her own — they were loved, comfortable, and happy the entire time. We will absolutely be booking again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12. I have grown up with both cats and dogs. Neighbors and friends have trusted me to take care of their dogs for many years. I am willing to spend extra time with your furry friends as needed, along with sending updates and pictures. I am reliable and responsible. I am currently in graduate school and working, I have full days from 8am-8pm on Monday and Tuesdays, I am available Wednesdays before 9 am and after 12 pm. I am available Thursdays and Fridays before 8:30, from 12-1pm, and after 3:30 pm. My weekend schedule is flexible and am able to take care of your animals on both the weekdays and weekends. I am able and willing to stay at your home with your animal. I currently live in a small apartment with two cats and would be unable to house dogs. I am able to give medication/put on a harness/crate dogs as needed. I am super flexible and adaptable :-).
“I highly recommend Amber for any dog sitting or dog walking needs, no matter the size or personality of your pup! I have a 110 lb lab mix and a 70 lb Great Pyrenees mix—both can be a handful at times—but Amber handled them with confidence and care. Her experience with larger breeds (including her own huskies) gave me peace of mind from the start. What truly impressed me was how she connected with my younger dog, who is very skittish and slow to warm up to new people. By the end of the week, not only had my pup warmed up to Amber—she was jumping on the bed and cuddling next to her, something she rarely even does with me or my husband. I was amazed! Amber also sent me photos of the dogs every day to keep me updated, which I really appreciated—it helped so much when I was missing them while away. Amber went above and beyond to make our dogs feel safe and loved while we were away. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again for future stays!”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life and I have a cat of my own who has been my dear Love for 9 years. Over the past 10 years, I have watched the two lovely dogs of my parents and I have watched my friend’s pets as well, both dogs and cats. I have taken care of elderly dogs and energetic puppies. I love giving any pet under my care long pets and scratches until they are in a state of bliss:) I am currently looking for a way to supplement my income and I have lots of time to take care of your fur baby! I am a local therapist who does remote work 3x a week. 2x a week I may have to go in the office. Since I work remotely, I can stay with your pets for longer periods of time. On days I have to go in office, I can add flexibility to my schedule to make sure your pets get breaks. I can’t have other people’s pets in home but I can stay with your pets where they feel most comfortable. I can dedicate my time to may sure they can get lots of love and attention. I can also give pets space if that’s what they need.
About: I am so excited to start my Rover experience! Every dog is different and silly in their own way, and that is my absolute favorite part of pet sitting. I have cared for everything from tiny lap dogs to large breeds, crazy puppies to sweet senior dogs. I also have experience with reactive dogs on/off leash. I will treat them like my own, paying attention to their individual personality, routines, and needs, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, capable hands! I work nights at the hospital, so my days are always available! I am also available for nighttime check ins, if requested! I am very accommodating and flexible with timing and schedules. Feel free to switch up on me last minute - I go with the flow :) I am prepared to provide attentive care to your furry friend. I will respect and follow routines, boundaries and expectations. My goal is to achieve clear and effective communication while you are away. Expect lots of photos and updates!
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 11 years old. I have bathed, fed, walked, and played with dogs and cats alike. I love it a lot and animals just bring me joy. I currently work part time at another job so I’ll have time to help take care of your pets throughout the week and keep them company. I am able to move around a bunch to play with your pet! I can also cuddle and relax with them if that’s more their speed. I understand every pet is different and I can work with them however they need! I’ll also make sure to stay communicative, letting you know what’s going on and sending pictures of your fur baby’s.
“Our 3 dogs love her! Lena stayed in our home overnight while we were away. We highly recommend her. Two of our three dogs are on medication and it went very well. Thank you, Lena for your help. We will definitely book again.”
About: My entire life, I’ve had family dogs, and I’ve shared part of the responsibility for them with my entire family. At sixteen, I began pet-sitting for family friends and coworkers of my parents. I had a dog who had diabetes, so we would frequently have to give her insulin shots. So, I am not opposed to giving dogs medicine and shots, so long as they are friendly and are already used to their medicine! I have classes 12:30-4:00 on weekdays, and that’s about it! I may have sorority events on weekends, but they never last more than four hours! I believe every dog has different needs and lifestyles. I make sure that not only are their physiological needs are met, but also that I make an effort to keep dogs properly stimulated and loved
“Alaska stayed with my loving senior cat Quincy for 3 weeks while we were abroad. She did a wonderful job! Quincy was soon bonded to her and she sent wonderful videos showing how happy he was with her! When we returned, the house was in great shape...clean, neat, and plants and fish looking healthy. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any pet owner.”
“Laurie was great with our dog. She was friendly and easy to work with and always made sure Jeter got to go outside and got his medicine as prescribed. We would definitely book Laudie again.”
About: Rover Bio Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 15 years of experience as a dog owner, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. 🐾 I live an active, athletic lifestyle and love staying busy—whether that means getting outside for a walk, going for a run, playing in the yard, or simply enjoying some fresh air. I’m happy to match your pup’s energy level, whether they’re ready for an adventure or prefer a slower stroll. But don’t let the athletic side fool you—I’m also a huge fan of couch cuddles, and quality time. I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of the family and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, affection, and love while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and my goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pup has a safe, happy, and fun time! I’m currently working a flexible hybrid positions as a wedding planner! I work most Saturdays but have week day flexibility. I spend my days working from home and have ample time to care for your pets needs! I aim to create a comfortable environment for your pets and to keep their routine as normal as possible! I’m a very clean person and want to ensure your house is just as you left it!
“Jennifer and John took great care of our dogs. One of them had recent surgery, and they kept up with meds and helped her around. Both dogs were happy and content when we returned. As an added bonus, the house was very tidy, and the sheets and towels they used were washed and the bed was remade. I highly recommend this fantastic couple to look after your pets!”
“Ashley was awesome! She did a meet and greet and took plenty of notes. She was very communicative during our trip and sent photos and went above and beyond for our pets! We will definitely rebook her!”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs of all ages and sizes since I was young and none have given me any trouble. I don’t mind picking up messes that any dog might make. I absolutely love playing with them and taking them on walks. I doordash as my job so my availability is 100% open to any kind of needs your dog has. I pick what hours I work with door dash but normally I’ll door dash throughout the day then come home for the day around 5. Although when watching any animal I tend to switch up my hours so I can make sure your pup is getting all the love and attention it needs. I like to keep a clean house so no dog has a chance to get into anything that could harm them or chew on anything not wanted.
About: I will care for any type of animal, whether it’s puppies or senior dogs or cats. I am also on the pre-vet track in college, along with participating in clubs like wildlife and vet. In college I don't get the opportunity to see many pets, at home I have a gecko I care for when I'm there, and over breaks I tend to pet sit family or family friends. So while pet care is not in my daily life I have experience caring for pets over many years. Caring for pets either in their home or mine I will listen to their very specific instructions because I know how picky some animals are.
About: I have always had a love for dogs and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I have two rescue dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of making your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have previously worked as a dog sitter for family, friends, and people in my neighborhood. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I enjoy spending time playing with dogs, taking them on walks, and making sure they get the care and attention they need. I will treat your dog like they are my own!! I’m a college student and currently don’t have a job so I have a flexible schedule. I’m generally available Monday Wednesday and Fridays before 11AM and after 130PM. Tuesday Thursdays I am available before 930AM and after 1PM. I am apart of a sorority, so I occasionally have events at different times throughout the week, but I’m very flexible and happy to communicate ahead of time to work around my schedule and your pets needs! I currently live in an apartment, so unfortunately I’m unable to bring dogs into my home. I’m very comfortable caring for dogs in their own home and am used to working with dogs both on lease and in a fenced in yard. I will always prioritize your pets safety and follow your instructions for walks, outdoor time, feeding, and routines. I’m happy to maintain your dogs normal routine and provide plenty of attention and care!
“Aubrey took amazing care of our Ranger! She made sure our old boy was comfortable and happy. I appreciate the care she took of the house as well! We are thankful she could stay on such short notice.”
About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 14, specifically have done a lot of house sitting and walking for family friends. I love all animals and would love to take care of yours! I am currently a student at West Virginia University but I am free Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and weekends as well! My schedule is very flexiable. I love to take dogs for walks and one of the perks of Morgantown is there are plenty of places to take your fur babies!

FAQs for House Sitting - Dunkard
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 176 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dunkard. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Dunkard walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Dunkard maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Dunkard choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
