Dog Sitting in Charleston

“Carlee took great care of my cats while I was away on a trip! She was responsive and took lots of pics of my fur babies. I felt so relieved knowing my cats were with someone I could trust!!”

About: I’ve had many dogs in my life. Right now, I’m the mom of a four year old chihuahua! I love to watch dogs for people as a fun side job/hobby. While I may be new to the app, I’ve done this my entire life. You will get the quality and trustworthy care your pet deserves. Give me a chance! You will get your moneys worth. I’m currently working part time, I don’t do much except work and spend time with my own pup lol. I basically have open availability to meet your schedule’s needs. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I have two dog tents and a kennel. I have a safe, quiet apartment where your pet will feel relaxed and at home. There’s also plenty of room to run outside.

About: We got into pet care together because helping animals has always been a shared passion; it’s something that brought us closer and now it’s something we get to do side by side while helping our community 🥹 We currently foster for the Kanawha Charleston Shelter and another local rescue, help with TNR in our area, rehome strays, and love to spoil our own little crew of rescues! Over the years, we’ve cared for dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, reptiles, rabbits, rats, and even birds! We’re especially comfortable with pets who need a little extra patience, like shy rescues, semi-ferals, and senior animals! 🐕‍🦺 We have hands-on experience with: • Medications (oral, topical, injectable like insulin) • Anxious or reactive behavior • Special diets and tricky routines • Post-op and long-term medical needs • Livestock Friends! We're also active in the rescue world currently supporting fundraising, marketing, and networking for Krazie Ladies Animal Rescue, and jumping in when people in our community need help with lost pets or urgent rehoming! This isn’t just a side gig for us... it’s something we truly love doing together! If you’d like to see more of the happy pets we’ve cared for (and a peek at us in action), check out our Facebook page: Almost Heaven Critter Care WV 🐾 We’d be happy to help you and your pets have a stress-free, love-filled, judgement-free experience while you’re away! We both work from home, so our days naturally revolve around the animals we care for; ours and yours! That means we’re super flexible with visits throughout the day, whether it’s a quick morning potty break, midday meds, or evening playtime. Caring for animals is already part of our daily life. We foster and volunteer locally, so working around feeding schedules, quirky behaviors, and special routines is second nature. You can count on us to show up on time and treat your pets like they’re part of the family! Weekend availability included... just reach out and let’s chat about what you need! 📅 We kindly ask for 3 days' notice for all bookings and cancellations so we can plan our calendar and make sure we’re giving every pet the time and care they deserve 💛 When we’re in your home, we treat it with the same care and respect we’d want for our own! We always follow your instructions to the T; whether that’s feed times, locked doors or quirky pet routine... We will always keep your space clean, calm, and secure before we leave! We’re happy to work with homes that use security systems or indoor cameras, and we’ll always communicate clearly about access (keys, codes, etc.) so everyone feels comfortable! After each visit, you’ll get a photo or two and a quick update so you’re never left wondering how things went!! If your pets have any medical needs, special diets, triggers, or unique behaviors, we’ll ask about those ahead of time so we can handle everything confidently! We’ve worked with nervous pets, escape artists, and even semi-ferals... so nothing surprises us! We know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home and into your pet’s routine, and we don’t take that lightly! ❤️

About: I had a dog that had a liver shunt and I kept him going with medication and good loving care. He lived to be 10 years old which my vet normally they don’t live past 5 years old. I am a retired banker and it’s always been my dream to be a pet sitter. I have some back issues so I would only be able to take care of small pets up to 20 pounds. Also I would prefer that the owner of the animal have a fenced in yard as I am not able to walk long distances. I prefer to keep your pet in the owners home where the animal feels more secure and safe. I am free to stay with your pet as long as needed.

About: I take time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and needs, whether it’s a playful puppy full of energy or a senior pet who needs extra patience and gentle attention. I have hands-on experience with basic puppy training, administering medication, and supporting older pets with mobility challenges. As a college soccer athlete, I’m used to managing a busy schedule with focus and discipline. I make time for pet care around my practices and classes, and I truly enjoy the calm and connection it brings. It’s a rewarding part of my routine that keeps me grounded. I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In their home, I stick closely to their usual routine—walks, feedings, playtime, and any special instructions. If I’m hosting, I create a calm, pet-friendly space where they can relax and feel at home. I always give each pet my full attention and care as if they were my own.

“Jade was very helpful in visiting and caring for my dog, Gus. She followed the instructions left for his care. I appreciate her help!”

About: My whole life I’ve been surrounded by animals! I even had the chance to help my dad train police dogs! I worked at a doggy daycare and have nothing but absolute love for every animal, big or small. I only work 2-3 days of the week and will be going to a community college for the next 3 years, so I have some free time and I’m pretty flexible. Also I get to use this as an excuse to meet new animals!! I’m familiar with crate training, as I’ve used it on my own animals and I’m always alert and know what to look for in a animal that might be showing signs of distress or anxiety.

About: I have been rescuing dogs for 20 years. I also have extensive experience with cats and other small pets and love spending time with them.

I understand the importance of keeping their area secure and keeping them on the routine that they're used to.

About: I care for every pet as if they were my own. They will get a lot of attention because I focus on them to learn their behavior, quirks and what they try to relay to me; I’m always watching and listening to them. Many clients have told me they tell their pets that I will be coming and they get super excited. I’ve been told they see a difference in them when I do a drop in visit to break up their day. I will also send you pictures of your adorable baby. Your pet will thank you for having me take care of them. My job is to make them happy and Content, I will do everything in all my abilities to do just that! Pet sitting is my full time job. Sometimes it feels as if I work 24 hrs a day. I wouldn’t change a thing, I love taking care of all the fur babies, giving them lots of love, pets, kisses and hugs (if they like it) Doors are never opened without making sure they are secure and on leash. I’m very detailed in their care and their safety at all times.

About: I grew up with dogs since the late 70s. I was taught how to care for, and train dogs as large as Great Danes and St Bernards. I love dogs of all sizes and I can give your dog the exercise he or she needs. I understand how busy life can be juggling work, home, pets, the holidays, and a social life, so I can definitely give your dog a little extra attention. More than one dog? No problem! I'll also make sure he gets water during our walks and some play time if that's what you would like. Just let me know if he/she prefers to run, needs to drop a pound or two, or just take it slow. Tuesdays and Sundays are best. I am available to walk your dog, give them food/water, and playtime. I am happy come to your home to make sure you pet get their needs met. At the moment, I am only providing dog walking services, as well as making sure your fur baby gets love and exercise when they need.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for friends over the years. I also like to volunteer at the local animal shelter where I walk, feed, play, clean, and help out any way I can. I love taking care of my furry friends, let me love taking care of yours! I both live and work in South Charleston so I am likely always within 10-15 minutes from your pets. I work a full time job as a mechanical engineer and spend my time outside of work exercising, reading, or taking care of my house. I like to fill the pet out and mold to what they want. If it seems like they want to play, I’ll spend more one-on-one time with them. If they seem to just to be fed and relax, then I’ll allow them to do so. I want to do whatever is possible to make them comfortable why you are away. Just a heads up, I love cuddling with my pets, so I will likely do the same with yours if they allow me😅
