Worth its weight in gold (or jewels!): Clarksburg may have gotten the nickname "the Jewel of the Hills" because of its cozy spot nestled in the Appalachian Hills of West Virginia.
Named "National Small City of the Year" in 2011, Clarksburg is a proud community committed to civic duty and support for its citizens. The economic atmosphere caters to innovative ideas and wooing new business enterprises through investment solutions and cost savings programs. The city has a little over 16,000 residents who benefit from living in a region that has star billing as a global chemical hub, a national hub for biotechnology and a leader in energy. Closer to home, Clarksburg's diverse economy provides employment opportunities in healthcare, aerospace engineering, education, automotive work, security, and tourism. It's a good place to set up shop! View Clarksburg City Guide
Finding an apartment in Clarksburg that accepts your pet may not be easy, but it’s very possible. Keep in mind, most of the time you’ll have to pay a premium for bringing your dog along in your new apartment. Some apartments require you to pay monthly pet rent, others will ask for a non-refundable pet fee or a refundable pet deposit.
While landlords and property management companies have varying pet policies, most of them limit the number of dogs you can bring to your apartment and include breed and weight restrictions.
If your pet falls under some of the restrictions outlined in the pet policy, it’s still worth asking the landlord if they can make an exception for your dog. Preparing a pet resume ahead of time could help you build the case for your furry friend. Make sure to include information on behavioral training your dog went through over the years and proof of vaccinations. If you can, include references from your former landlord and/or neighbors.
