We Love Critters of All Sizes 💛🐾
Pet care experience
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!

Safety, trust & environment
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! ❤️
Information Destiney & Benjamin D. would like to know about your pet
We want your pets to feel as safe and happy with us as they do with you, so the more you can share, the better we can care for them! 🐾 Here’s what we’d love to know ahead of time: ✨ Medications or health needs ✨ Allergies or food sensitivities ✨ Trauma history or known triggers ✨ How they do around strangers, kids, dogs, cats, or other animals ✨ Breed mix + energy level ✨ Feeding schedule (and any picky habits!) ✨ Bathroom routines — walks, litter, pads, etc. ✨ How far they’re comfy walking + weather tolerance ✨ Favorite enrichment or calming activities We know every pet is different, from shy ferals to hyper goofballs, and we’re happy to tailor our visit to whatever helps your pet feel most at ease ❤️
A typical day
We treat every visit like a chance to brighten your pet's day ❤️ We know how hard it can be to leave your pets at home and we want to make sure they're taken care of exactly how they should! Whether it's a quick drop-in or an extended visit, we always tailor our time to your pet's needs and personalityn Got a high-energy pup? We’ll play, toss toys, and get those zoomies out! Shy senior? We’ll keep things calm, gentle, and respectful! Cats get lots of conversation, window time, and brushies (if they’re into that). Chickens? We’ll gather eggs and check bedding. Pigs, birds, reptiles... we’ve cared for them all! We always follow your instructions to a T, make sure they feel safe and happy, and send photo updates after each visit so you know exactly how they’re doing! Every animal deserves enrichment, comfort, and kindness and we’re here to give just that! ❤️

Availability
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 💛
