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.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 5 years now, maybe even more. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, goats, pigs, ducks, fish, and birds. Recently, I was able to get a job working at home, so now I am able to take care of more pets. I’m currently working from home now, so I am able to travel to pet sit or have more pets in my home. I do work 6pm-2am also. I take care of animals just like I would my own, make sure they are fed, comfortable, and get to go out to exercise. I will also say that I care for the pets depending on the owners preference.
“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.”
