“Stephanie watched our pup on fairly short notice. She was very flexible and relaxed with her. We picked up our dog about 48 hours later, happy and healthy. We would definitely call Stephanie if we are back in the area again.”
“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: 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 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!”
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! ❤️
“Willis was great with our dog, he updated us frequently with pictures and made sure our little guy was comfortable and safe. Winter seemed to have a great time there, and warmed up to Willis and his home quickly. Would definitely recommend and book again!”
“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!”
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!
“Patricia was amazing with our two goldens! She treated them like they were her own, even managing daily medicines and playing with them. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She sent pictures to update us daily on how they were doing! We will definitely be contacting Patricia for sitter needs in the future!”
“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!”
“Rachel was wonderful taking care Papi. She was very communicative and treated papi very well. He became attached to her children which was typical of Papi. I definitely recommend her as a sitter and will be looking to have her take him again.”
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: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets. From playful puppies to senior pets, I’ve handled it all—walks, feedings, medications, and lots of cuddles. I treat every pet like family and take time to learn their unique needs and routines. Whether it’s a quick walk or overnight care, I’m here to give your pet the love and attention they deserve while you’re away! I’m available most weekends and some evenings during the week. I’m flexible and happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets great care! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

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.

“Allysa cared for my two elderly cats while I was out of town for two weeks. She kept in close communication with me about the cats, and was very responsive to my concerns.

Definitely would recommend her services and will be using her again for future pet sitting needs!”

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 have been a pet owner for over 20 years. When I was in college I became the go to pet sitter to watch my friends and family pets for years. Because I am a bit of a stronger person, my friends know that I can handle some of their bigger dogs tugging on the leash. Also, with my beard, dogs think I am one of them. I am currently a remote worker and I can take as much time as I need to take care, play, walk, feed or whatever the client needs. Because I am a big lug myself, I allow pets to have fun and be happy loving animals. I give off alpha dog energy and dogs will understand the deep serious tone in my voice, but will also respect me after I give them lots of love and treats.
About: I’ve cared for a wide range of cats, from kittens to seniors. For the past six years, I’ve regularly looked after my sister’s cat whenever she travels. Before moving back to Charleston, I also lived with my roommate and her cat, Toast, for about three years so I’m very familiar with the day-to-day needs and quirks!
About: I specialize in cats and understand that many cats are far more comfortable staying in their own home while their owners are away. I’ve cared for and managed a colony of 22 cats since 2024, including coordinating TNR (trap-neuter-return), socialization, medical observation, and placement of 19 kittens into homes. Through this experience, I’ve become very knowledgeable about feline behavior, feeding routines, litter maintenance, health monitoring, and working with shy, anxious, independent, or timid cats. I respect each cat’s individual comfort level and temperament and do not force interaction. My goal is to provide calm, reliable care that helps your cats feel safe and comfortable while you are away.

About: Hi! My name is Candace and I have had a passion for helping animals for as long as I can remember. I live in a farm with plenty of space for your fur baby to stretch their legs. I have multiple walking trails and also an indoor turfed play area. I have built in indoor kennels for your overnight boarding needs and I only take a handful of pets at a time to allow ample time for exercise and lovins. If your dog is more comfortable with a free roaming indoor situation that is an option on a case by case basis. I also offer dog walking, cat care and house/pet sitting in your home when available! Do not hesitate to reach out. Pet care is my full time gig here on my farm so I have a very flexible schedule. I like to stay very active and available to pets! I have a lot of space here on my farm to allow for group play or if you have a pet that prefers their space that is totally fine too. They can have their very own space and be exercised alone. Group play will be available only to those that are non aggressive and is determined on a case by case basis. Any time a dog is not in an enclose area they are kept on a leash in hand at all times. Their safety is my very first concern. Do not hesitate to reach out to ask about any special needs your pet might have and what I could do to accommodate them.

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! ❤️
About: I have been a pet owner for over 20 years. When I was in college I became the go to pet sitter to watch my friends and family pets for years. Because I am a bit of a stronger person, my friends know that I can handle some of their bigger dogs tugging on the leash. Also, with my beard, dogs think I am one of them. I am currently a remote worker and I can take as much time as I need to take care, play, walk, feed or whatever the client needs. Because I am a big lug myself, I allow pets to have fun and be happy loving animals. I give off alpha dog energy and dogs will understand the deep serious tone in my voice, but will also respect me after I give them lots of love and treats.
About: Im retired and love animals! I've had animals all my life and use to train German shepherds for elk run. Dogs are my passion and yours will be loved and cared for just as mine are every single day! They will be loved and spoiled with treats! Im retired and have a very flexible and available schedule, more then willing to travel short distances to care for your pets. Dogs truly are a man's best friend! My dogs are very adaptable and friendly. Dogs are welcome to stay out of crates unless otherwise preferred. Any special requests will be available and i will do anything to ensure your dogs needs are met!
About: I have took care my family’s puppies, and older dogs for around 3 years!! I also babysit my cousins and younger brothers! i’m very reliable and good with doggy’s!! I currently work 2 jobs, while being a starbucks barista making your morning coffee, and dairy queen a few days a week!! I am a busy girl but will always make room to love your puppies along the week! You can private message me to find out more about my schedule! :) I have a 6 month old frenchie at home who loves to go outside and roll around in the grass when it’s sunny outside! I always take him out on a leash and give him a treat when he comes back in. I make sure he eats his meals on time and still gets the playtime he needs as a puppy! As much as I love to snuggle the puppies I take care of I still make sure they have potty breaks as needed.
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!
About: From training horses to raising puppies and kittens, I’m well accustomed to the needs of nearly all animals. Not only do I bring all the qualifications, I also bring tons of love. I’m a full time registered emergency room nurse, I have 2 dogs of my own as well as a 5 year old son. I work 3 days a week so with my son being a new pre-k student, I spend the rest of my week at home. Another part-time job doing what I love is extremely beneficial. I leave any environment the way I found it. I base care and needs based off of my clients personal requests and/or goals. I’m kind and reliable as well as hard working and respectful.

“Stephanie watched our pup on fairly short notice. She was very flexible and relaxed with her. We picked up our dog about 48 hours later, happy and healthy. We would definitely call Stephanie if we are back in the area again.”
“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: 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 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!”
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!

“Willis was great with our dog, he updated us frequently with pictures and made sure our little guy was comfortable and safe. Winter seemed to have a great time there, and warmed up to Willis and his home quickly. Would definitely recommend and book again!”
“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!”

“Patricia was amazing with our two goldens! She treated them like they were her own, even managing daily medicines and playing with them. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She sent pictures to update us daily on how they were doing! We will definitely be contacting Patricia for sitter needs in the future!”
“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!”
“Rachel was wonderful taking care Papi. She was very communicative and treated papi very well. He became attached to her children which was typical of Papi. I definitely recommend her as a sitter and will be looking to have her take him again.”

This app allows me to get my dose of puppy/kitty loving!! Working full time with breaks to go home as needed.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets. From playful puppies to senior pets, I’ve handled it all—walks, feedings, medications, and lots of cuddles. I treat every pet like family and take time to learn their unique needs and routines. Whether it’s a quick walk or overnight care, I’m here to give your pet the love and attention they deserve while you’re away! I’m available most weekends and some evenings during the week. I’m flexible and happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets great care! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced-in yard, a pet-friendly home, two gentle kids, a sweet dog, and a calm cat. Pets are treated like family here!

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.
About: I’ve mostly worked as an RN but I’m currently a stay at home momma! I've always had a passion in helping others, but my second passion in life is caring for animals! What better side gig than to help care for some lovely pets. I do have experience through my nephew with service dogs. I attended his two-week training to learn how to handle the dog and commands. I've always had pets, particularly cats and dogs, with a few fishy exceptions. I've been trusted by many friends and family members as the go-to person for pet sitting. You can depend on me to be reliable and caring with your fur babies! Fortunately I’m able to work with most schedules. I’m able to be very flexible with my routine thankfully!! We go with the flow over here! I have a fenced in yard, a garage & plenty of house space. We do have one dog and one cat currently! They are spoiled & very used to being around other animals!
