Dog Boarding in Marmet, WV

“I am so happy to have found an awesome place for my pup to stay when we are out of town! I felt totally comfortable that she was in good hands, safe and happy. Kayla sent me lots of pics and videos of my dog making herself right at home. I'd definitely use Kayla again!”

“I'm very happy with the dog sitting service provided by Brenda. She did an amazing job looking after my Itsy Bitsy. Her home includes a front yard, which allowed my dog to enjoy the outdoors safely. She has a genuine love for animals and treated my dog as if it were her own. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a caring and responsible dog sitter."”

About: 🏡 NEW: Personalized Boarding Available! (See Details At The End!!) 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! 🏡 NEW: Personalized Boarding Available! We've recently renovated our attached brick garage into a dedicated boarding space designed to provide a safe, comfortable, low-stress environment for your pets. Unlike many boarding facilities, we only board one family's pets at a time. Whether you have one dog, multiple dogs, dogs and cats together or just cats, your family will be our only boarding guests during their stay! This allows us to provide more individualized care while reducing stress and eliminating interactions with unfamiliar animals. Each guest has access to a spacious 8' x 6' x 4' kennel, but they're not required to stay inside it. The kennel can remain open, giving them the option to relax in their own secure space or enjoy the larger boarding area. Comfortable bedding, including a traditional dog bed and raised cooling cot, is provided! Someone is almost always home, and we work remotely, allowing for frequent interaction, supervision, and additional attention for pets who need it. Security cameras are also in place throughout the boarding area and outside our home for added safety and peace of mind! We provide treats, enrichment, and natural chews (with owner approval) and do our best to follow your pet's normal routine. Whether they have a specific feeding schedule, medication schedule, bedtime routine, or exercise preferences, we'll work to keep things as familiar as possible! Dogs have access to a fenced outdoor exercise area and can enjoy leashed walks around our property, including our creek area. Our typical boarding routine runs from approximately 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM, though we're happy to accommodate reasonable adjustments whenever possible! We do have our own dogs and cats at home. All of our pets are vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and well cared for. For everyone's safety, boarding guests will not interact with our personal pets, though they may occasionally hear our dogs barking from elsewhere on the property. 🐱 Cat Boarding Available! Cats are welcome too! Whether your cat is social, shy, senior, or requires medication, we'll provide a quiet, secure environment tailored to their needs while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible! If we don't have fosters at the time, your kitties are welcome to stay in the home as well! Either in their own room, or if they're friendly with other animals, they're welcome to explore the whole house! 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! ❤️

“She kept us updated on Iris all weekend and was super flexible with a last minute reservation. We could tell from the pictures Iris was getting all the love and attention she wanted while with her!”

About: As a lifelong dog owner, caring for pups is second nature to me. I know exactly how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet, which is why I prioritize clear communication, frequent updates, and plenty of personalized attention. From daily walks and interactive playtime to cozy cuddle sessions, I tailor my care to match your dog's specific personality and energy level. I look forward to treating your beloved pet like a member of my own family. I currently stay at Home so I am available any time of the day. This allows me to easily accommodate custom feeding, walking, and medication schedules. I have a small yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. My yard is not fenced, so I always take guests on guided walks and trips to the local park for secure, energetic exercise. My pet is a miniature poodle who loves to play and cuddle. For bedtime, guests can sleep comfortably right in my bedroom or use a dedicated spare room depending on their routine.

“Christy kept me up to date on Fred. Morning, midday, evening messages and tons of pictures. Pick up and drop off we’re a breeze. Highly recommend Christy!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I have hands-on experience with daily feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I’ve also regularly cared for friends’ and family members’ pets while they’re out of town, making sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own routine. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their happiness and well-being. As a teacher, my schedule allows me to be home in the evenings and on weekends, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive and consistent pet care. I’m able to stick closely to feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and any special routines your pet needs. Because my time outside of school is flexible and dependable, I can give your pet the care, attention, and companionship they deserve. I provide loving, hands-on care tailored to each pet’s needs. At home, I have two cats and a dog, so I’m very familiar with balancing playtime, exercise, and daily routines. I make sure my pets get plenty of attention and enrichment through play, and I walk my dog multiple times a day to keep him happy and healthy. I bring the same level of care, patience, and dedication to every pet I look after, treating them as if they were my own.

“I was thoroughly impressed with her care for Zeus. I would highly recommend her to other pet owners. I was gone for a about a week and I knew he was in good hands with her. She also answered quickly and was very accommodating. Thank you from me and Zeus Olivia!”

“Josie did such a great job taking care of our dog! He is 11 months old and very energetic but he came home happy and tired from all of the fun he had! I felt so comfortable leaving my handful of a puppy with her and will definitely use her again!”

“Christa took good care of our critters while we were out on a river trip.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and currently have four large dogs – three of my own and one foster. I also volunteer with local animal rescues and spend many Fridays at the Dog Pound, giving all the animals love, walks, vaccinations, and sometimes even a trip to my home (I’m always joking that I’m one dog away from a divorce – but he knew what he was getting into!) Joining the Rover community lets me share my passion for caring with other pet owners. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family members, and I’m here to provide them with the love and attention they deserve. I’ll make sure they’re happy, well cared for, and keep you updated with plenty of pictures to give you peace of mind! I’m currently staying home with my babies so I will have plenty of time to love yours! Don’t be afraid to ask about my schedule! I have a full fenced in yard. Two of my dogs are inside. One roams freely during the day with a doggy door to the outside fenced in yard. One is kenneled during the day. Both are kenneled at night. One is outside full time (unless it’s freezing cold and I have to force him inside). I also have one large kennel outside where my foster dog stays most of the time. All dogs are up to date on vaccines and receive monthly flea tick and heart guard meds. As for your home, I’m up for a meet and greet depending on what you need!

“Patti has taken care of our two fur babies twice now and we are very happy with her services. Our boys seem to really like Patti and they seem to enjoy their visits. From the pictures Patti sent us while watching our boys, the yard and patio seem perfect for small dogs without the worry of their escape. Believe me our Yorkie is an escape artist and staying with Patti we have no worries. We look forward to our next trip and booking our boy’s stay with Patti. Lynn & Denny Harley & Matey”

“We will be back ! Back yard was perfect for my energetic dog ! Area in her home was perfect for our elderly dog . So nice to leave town without a worry ! Thank you Samantha!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs all my life for friends and family. My fur babies are back home with my parents. After college, I moved from LA to WV. This app allows me to get my dose of puppy/kitty loving!! Working full time with breaks to go home as needed. Your babies will be well looked after regardless of the type of care chosen (walks, overnight stays, etc.) I live in a safe neighborhood with several neighborhood pets. While my backyard is not fenced in, I will make sure your babies are on a leash and watched closely!

About: I’m a professional dog trainer and boarding provider with lifelong experience working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds—from puppies to large working dogs. My training background allows me to provide individualized, structured care, especially for dogs with anxiety, reactivity, separation anxiety, or other behavioral challenges. My goal is always to keep your dog’s stay calm, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for pregnant dogs and newborn puppies, and my rescue work has given me valuable experience working with senior dogs and dogs with special needs. Dogs with more serious behavioral concerns may require a pre-boarding evaluation to ensure the best experience for everyone. Training sessions or private consultations can be added during your dog’s stay. Your dog will be understood, respected, and cared for like family. I provide full-time dog training and boarding, including weekends. I tailor care to each dog’s needs—whether it’s obedience, behavior support, socialization, or senior dog care. Since this is a home-based business, your fur babies become part of my daily life—spending time with me like family—while still enjoying a structured schedule.
