3. Amber P.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a young girl. I adore all fur babies and will take very good care of your pets. I am currently working part-time out of the home for brief periods of time. Most of my time will be spent making sure that your fur baby feels right at home! I also have a teenage daughter who loves animals and who will be helping care for them as well. I have a fenced in yard. I have a Basset Hound and 2 cats. All of my animals are very friendly and will keep your baby company. I can also crate your pet if needed.
4. Rebecca P.
“I just can’t say enough good things about Rebecca Peterson. She has a way with dogs. My two Great Danes loved her at first meeting. She’s very responsible as far as giving medicine, yet playful with the dogs. She cuddled with them when they wanted to. House sitting for us was great. We trust her completely. She’s a keeper.”
5. Allison L.
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.
6. Taylor T.
“Taylor is just perfect and took care of Sam in a way that impressed me beyond words. I am sure Taylor is his new best friend forever!”
7. Brandi M.
“Brandi did a great job! It was very reassuring knowing there was someone at my house to care for my pets and keep me updated.”
8. Lindsay W.
“Lindsay was amazing. My pups were very happy and well cared for. It was such a great first experience. Knowing my pups were safe and in good hands while my family and I were away for a few hours made our time away so much more enjoyable.”
9. Pam U.
“The daycare, boarding and walking services provided by Pam are unmatched. Our latest rescue has loud noises and stranger aversions…his confidence is so much better since he’s been going. I’m a picky owner when it comes to leaving my dog with anyone, but ive never worried a bit when he’s with her❤️”
