Personalized care for your dog or cat - Austen

Highly-rated overnight sitters - Austen
“Jessica was so great with my dog! She kept me updated with pictures and little messages about the day. I would definitely recommend her and hopefully get to use her services again!”

“Jen was so wonderful with our Molly! She sent frequent updates (with pictures!) and Molly was so happy the whole time she was there—and she was worn OUT when she came home. 10/10 recommend!”

“Brandi really gives me a comfortable and carefree vacation! When my kitties come back, I see them really happy and cheerful, growing big for a little bit. I know they must have a great time there!”

“McKayla and Christian are wonderful sitters. They sent lots of pics and kept me up to speed with everything my pup was doing. I most certainly would rebook with them. Thank you for treating my fur baby as if he was your own ❤️”

“Tracey was extremely accommodating throughout the entire booking process. She answered any and every question we had before booking. She was very accommodating when it came to drop off and pick up times. During our 2 dogs stay she kept us updated through the day with how they were doing along with plenty of pictures to put us at ease that they were very well taken care of. She truly treated them as her own. Our young lab and pit mix pup are full of energy and can be a handful and that didn’t bother her. I’d feel completely safe leaving them with her again and if we’re ever in the area again we’ll definitely be booking thru her!”

About: Over the last 20 years, I've encountered numerous family, friends and neighbor's dogs to feed, walk and *if they allowed* pet and snuggle. I personally have loved 5 dogs in that time. Many of the dogs I have cared for range from age 12 weeks as small as dachshunds up to 16 years and as large as irish setters. I also have speciality in assisting dogs with health complications, such as cancer and addison's disease so I'm very familiar with medication schedules. I enjoy adapting to each dog's personality and preferences as they are just like people. I have always loved dogs! I work Monday thru Thursday most weeks so I am available on most Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays to walk, pet, feed and play with your dog. I have a fenced in backyard that has previously held six other dogs in my care. I also have almost anything needed for a dog like leashes, bowls, toys, bedding, and a if needed a clean, small crate and "accident" spray. Food, treats and any meds would need to be provided by the owner, but I'm more than comfortable with following schedules.
“Allie was amazing with both of my pups! They didn’t want to leave when I came to pick them up, I can tell they had a wonderful time and Allie kept me up to date all the time with how they were doing. She was also super flexible especially during the holidays and I know I picked the right sitter!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care and attention I give to every pet, like they’re part of my own family. I have experience with both high-energy dogs and senior pets, so I know how to adapt to different needs—from playful fetch sessions to gentle walks and medication support. I’m also reliable, flexible with scheduling, and great at communicating with pet parents, always sending updates and photos for peace of mind. Whether it’s sticking to a specific routine or just giving extra love and comfort, I go the extra mile to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and at home. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I plan my schedule around both my part-time job and pet-sitting responsibilities to make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding, playtime, or overnight stays, I stay organized and flexible so I can give consistent and loving care, even on busy days. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of play and exercise, and always have clean water. I also take time to bond with them so they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. If I’m doing drop-ins or overnight stays, I also keep the space tidy and send updates with pictures to keep pet parents in the loop. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, safe environment where they can relax and have fun. I stick to their feeding and potty schedules, offer plenty of attention, and make sure they’re never left alone for too long.
About: As an active pet sitter with a decade of experience, I love keeping dogs moving and happy. Whether your dog needs a brisk neighborhood run, a fun hike, or just a playful game of fetch, I’m always ready to match their energy! I am a future law student, so you can count on my professionalism, reliability, and dedication to keeping your pet safe. :) I’m pretty flexible so I can take care of your pups on short or long term notice! I don’t have much going on as of now! As an extremely detail-oriented person, I treat your home and your pets with the highest level of respect. I closely follow all instructions regarding crating, food boundaries, and home security. Outdoors, I practice strict leash safety and keep a watchful eye to ensure your pet is always secure.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Austen
“Jessica was amazing and my dog Donut loved her! Her experience with pets made me feel so comfortable to have her watch my dog that has a health condition. She offered when we arrived if I wanted updates throughout the day or wait until the end and I really appreciate her thoughtfulness in asking. Looking forwards to her hopefully watching him again in the future!”

About: New to Rover, but not new to dog sitting :) I have several years of experience taking care of dogs, of all ages & breeds! I moved from Maine to WV and now have the time to be a dog sitter again! My overall love for animals and the ability to connect with them, makes me a safe and reliable sitter for your pup :) We have two open acres of grass for your dog to run around and play and a large tile floor sun room (with AC) for them to stay. My Great Dane stays in the sunroom in a playpen when she isn’t playing with chipmunks outside! If you prefer your dog to be on leash when outside-no problem! I can accommodate to your dogs’ needs! I have a 9 yr old female Great Dane who is real sweet & fully trained to my commands. She stays in a playpen in the AC, tiled sunroom with your pup. Your pup will have the one-on-one care that he/she needs while you are away. Fresh water will always be present :) My main goal is to keep every dog I care for safe & happy!
“Brandi is a caring and attentive sitter and we are so glad she could care for our dog while visiting Morgantown. She went out of her way to accommodate us. She communicated with us before, during and after our dog’s stay and we felt like our pup was in good hands. We will be bringing our dog back to her in future trips and we highly recommend her!”

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.

“My 6 month old Golden Retriever had a blast staying with Tiffany over the weekend. We had to extend his stay a day and Tiffany was very accommodating to our change in plans. She is the best!”

“We had the best experience! Magic is nervous around new people but she felt comfortable within a few hours. Communication, pictures and videos were all excellent. We felt completely comfortable while we were gone. Definitely will use her again”

About: I have experience with reactive and aggressive dogs, along with senior pets. I have owned and carried for multiple dog, cats, and exotic animals. I have trained 2 service dogs and a therapy dog as well as scent work foundations. Animals are my biggest passion, my goal is to help and love your animals as my own in order to help you achieve all goals you may have in mind. even if its as simple as a good walk. I spend my time taking care of my own dogs, walking, training and grooming. I still have time in the day to help others and this is my best idea to achieve that. I have 2 friendly dogs, Tyson who is around 8 he is extremely neutral and coda was is a bit older then a year old who has tones of energy for play. I have harness and long lines to make sure your dog has the ability to run and play safely even though I don't have a fenced in yard. My dogs will only interact with yours if you ask for it, as I know some dog just prefer to be on their own. I have toys of all sizes and types. All dog will be leashed before any door is opened to ensure no dog will be getting loose. I know how to administer medications if needed along with how to give the dog the Heimlich. Your pets safety is my number one priority.
“This was our first time boarding with Amber and we couldn't have been happier. She was extremely accommodating with our timeline and provided pictures & feedback throughout our girls visit... this put our minds at ease allowing us to focus on a family matter. Our girl came home happy & tired!!!”

They didn’t want to leave when I came to pick them up, I can tell they had a wonderful time and Allie kept me up to date all the time with how they were doing.
