About: Hi! My name is Addison and I have been caring for a wide variety of animals for over 20 years. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, small mammals, both freshwater and saltwater aquariums, and large animals. Along with being a wildlife rehabilitator for many years, I've been riding and working with horses for most of my life. I would love the opportunity to meet and care for your pets! Working remote gives me the flexibility to be available at all times, and I am happy to do my best to accommodate last minute requests and schedule changes. I live full time in my Sprinter van, and am able to offer house sitting services and drop in visits. Along with offering the traditional house-sitting services, I can also accommodate those that may not be comfortable with having a sitter stay in their home but still want someone on the property while they are away. My van is completely self-contained and requires no facilities or special space for parking. Care from the curb—pets loved, homes respected.
About: I'm a animal lover. I've cared for my own larger and smaller dogs - from puppies through seniorhood - and cats as well with love, care, and safety. It has been my pleasure to care for friends' and neighbors' pets for days or weeks while they are out of town, often while housesitting or boarding their animals at my home. I love to take dogs for daily walks, engage in play, reward with treats, and make sure that our animal friends and comfortable and happy. Having cared for my own senior pup, I am comfortable administering medications if required and design activity based on the individual animal's needs. I'm also happy to accommodate any dietary restrictions/needs. I'm flexible and available for pet care most days. Please take a look at my schedule and let me know if you have specific needs. At my home, I have a fully fenced yard and live near several trails around the Summersville area. My house is dog-friendly with plenty of toys and comfortable places to lay and rest. My dog Squishy will be a companion to your pet, but also happy to do her own thing.
About: My name is Allison. I grew up and live on my family farm in Danese, West Virginia. For as long as I can remember, I have always loved taking care of animals. I had a Miniature Dachshund for 12 years as well as other farm dogs. Every time I left him I was worried about him. I began taking care of a friends dog on a regular basis and thought I would offer my service to others to relieve the stress that comes with leaving your fur baby. Hopefully we will see you (and your pups!) soon. I begin most mornings by hand-milking my Nigerian Dwarf Goats and take care of all of the farm animals and dog boarding has worked seamlessly into my schedule. In addition to caring for the kennel dogs, I run a small skincare business. In my free time, I love spending time at my church and time with my family! I absolutely love what I do and am so thankful that I am able to do just that. I crate dogs when needed and take them for hikes on our 38 acre farm! If they are older and just need extra love we skip the hikes and do short walks!!! I always have them on a leash.
“Angela did a fantastic job with Charlie and Carson. She took her time to get to know the two and asked for details to provide the best care possible. I will definitely use her again when I am in the area.”
“Morgan was awesome! She was communicative, flexible, and accommodating. My pup seemed super calm when I got back from my trip, which is pretty unusual. I definitely recommend booking with her!”

Michelle M.
“Michelle has been dog sitting for me for several years now. My boy Otto gets so excited when we arrive at her house that he’ll cry until I let him out to sprint to her door. Michelle treats him just like one of her own fur babies (who get very spoiled). I love getting regular picture updates, knowing he has a safe fenced yard to play in, and gets to go on the occasional adventure with Michelle too. There is no one I’ve felt safer leaving my boy with and her home has easily become my dog’s second home.”
