“Fantastic job! Fur babies loved her. She gave my cat who has asthma his pills and inhaler twice a day. Arrived early and great with communication/photos. I have 1 dog and two cats and she stayed over for two days, I have zero complaints and will book again!”
“Hailey was great and really helped me out after a sitter cancelled last minute. My dog really liked her and I liked seeing pictures and knowing how she was doing while I was away”
“We're grateful we found Stephen! He came to our hotel to pet sit, putting our dog immediately at ease. By the time we got back, they were best buds. Highly, 100% recommend.”
“Pam was absolutely amazing!! She provided us with frequent updates about our pets and how they were doing. She also sent us pictures. She went above and beyond and we came home from vacation to a very clean house, thanks to her! It was nice to have trust in Pam to care for our pets so we could absolutely relax on vacation. 10/10!!”
“Brianne was wonderful with George! He was so comfortable with her and she took great care of our home too. Tons of updates and she clearly communicates. We will certainly ask her to stay with him again!”
About: I love dogs! They are the best creatures and so much more than just a pet. My Boston Terrier & I were together for 14 years, from pup to the end of his beautiful life. That bond is something I carry into every dog I care for. I’ve helped friends and family care for their dogs, fostered an adult dog through the ASPCA, and I treat every pup that comes into my care like my own. When you leave your little love with me you can breathe easy knowing they’re safe, genuinely loved, and in the best hands. I look forward to connecting with you and showing your dog the care they deserve! I work from home and am available throughout the day. Pet care isn’t my routine. Your dog will receive my full attention, love and care whether that’s a walk, a drop-in, or a cozy boarding stay at my home. In my home, dogs are free to explore and feel at home. I have a large yard where they can enjoy fresh air and outdoor time throughout the day. I love being outside and regularly take dogs to the local nature preserve for walks and hikes. I have a smoke free home and can accommodate crating if needed. I never give treats without owner approval and always clean up immediately. At your home, I show up with the same level of care and attention. Throughout every visit I send photos and updates with the same level of care and attention. I’ve been told I should be a dog photographer so expect some really great pictures of your baby!
About: I have had dogs my whole life, and I often pet sit for friends and family. When I am visiting anyone with a dog they typically get most of my attention! I work full time during the week, however I am free most all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I do have some evening availability during the week from 5 pm to 8 pm. I will treat your house and your pet with the utmost care and consideration. I would love to drop by and walk your dog, and will be happy to give you a detailed report
“Kaela is an exceptional pet sitter. She is incredibly kind, communicative, and dependable. She always treats my dogs with excellent care and genuine attention, and I can tell they’re comfortable and happy with her. Kaela is also very respectful of my home, leaving everything just as she found it. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
About: Ever since I was young, I’ve had an overwhelming love for dogs. Because my mom was allergic, I couldn't have one in my house growing up, so around age 10 I started going to my neighbor's house daily just to spend time with their Golden Retriever, Ginger. I played with her, trained her, and we even entered a local dog show together. That early experience gave me a lifelong passion for giving dogs the active, fulfilling lives they deserve. For years, neighbors, friends, and coworkers have trusted me to care for, walk, and sit their dogs. I have hands-on experience with all kinds of routines, from multi-day home sitting to daily drop-ins, and I genuinely enjoy every moment of it. When your dog is with me, they will receive undivided attention, patience, and love just like they're my own family. What I feel sets me apart: • Built for high-energy & athletic dogs: I live a very active outdoor lifestyle and love spending time in nature. If your dog needs long walks, runs, hikes, or never wants any downtime, I’m the walker for you. • Attentive and reliable: I will follow your home, feeding, and leash instructions very thoroughly, and I always prioritize safety and situational awareness on walks. • Detailed updates: You’ll receive prompt communication and great photo updates all the time so you know your dog is having a blast. One more thing to add, I don’t care if your dog isn’t trained, or if they're the craziest dog in the world, or if they jump, or if they weigh 140 pounds of pure muscle, I can guarantee we will get along and have a good time. As a college student with in-person classes only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have wide-open, dedicated availability throughout Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and full weekends. On my class days and during the couple of weekday evenings when I teach tennis clinics, I plan my dog walks and drop-in visits around those specific blocks. This setup gives me substantial, predictable chunks of free time throughout the week for morning outings, midday check-ins, and extended weekend care. I’m punctual, organized with my calendar, and happy to coordinate a routine that aligns with your dog’s needs. Safety for your pet is obviously every pet owner’s number one priority, which makes it mine as well when your pet is in my care. All instructions for anything whether it be for your household or for your pet that are given to me will always be followed through with. Also, when your dog is on a walk with me, I can guarantee their safety. I have walked so many dogs in my life, and I know that there is never a moment during a walk where safety isn’t the number one priority, with fun being second of course. Lastly, if I am caring for your pet in at your place of residence, I will always be respectful and safe.
“Makinzie was amazing with Clark. She was so respectful, responsive and kind- definitely a pup lover and he loved her back! Will definitely use her services again! Thank you Makinzie”
“He met with us with little lead time, when I was tight on needing a new sitter. My dog was immediately comfortable with him. He was proactive with letting me know of any issues. A huge plus was his flexibility to work with my schedule.”
“Makayla was a wonderful sitter for our two labs. Her kindness, punctuality and dedication was evident. She kept us up-to-date with video clips and pictures of her stay at our house. I would highly recommend her and hope to request her services in the future.”
“This was my first time using Rover and having someone I didn’t know dog/house sit. Alissia was super sweet! She came over before our trip so we could have her meet our dog and show her around the house. She was very communicative throughout her stay! I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her! 🐶❤️”
“Kyle was fantastic with our puppy. He is very kind, calm, and built a great bond with her right away. Even though our puppy is still quite energetic, he handled her confidently and kept her well engaged. Communication was excellent, and we felt completely comfortable knowing Lou was in great hands. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“Claire went above and beyond with her care for Dutch. She was thoughtful, extremely communicative (she sent us many pictures and videos), and truthfully cared for my dog as it was her own. She sat with him outside, played fetch, and made sure to give him all the attention, love, and time he needed. If I could give Claire more than 5 stars, I would!!”

Patricia was so wonderful! Molly was in such good hands! She gave Molly her daily medicines and was very attentive to Molly’s arthritis. She also sent me daily updates and pictures which was so nice! My house was spotless when I came home and she was so kind and came out twice even prior to watching Molly. Patricia is such a caring person and I would highly recommend her to take care of your pet. ❤️❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Morgantown on Rover is $99.9 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,911 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Morgantown. 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 Morgantown 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 Morgantown 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.
Tip: 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 Morgantown 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
