Personalized care for your dog or cat - Van

“Stephanie was *great* with my Casey dog. She sent pics, throughout the stay. She also helped me learn that Casey isn't always great around other dogs, so I will have to update that in her bio, sadly. I super highly recommend Stephanie for all your doggy boarding needs. My pup looked so content in the pics she sent me <3”

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! ❤️

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.

“I cannot express how amazing this experience was for all of us. I am nervous about leaving my doggies with anyone, but a last-minute trip with my parents found me looking for someone to keep my 2 large dogs. Ciara and her husband were so sweet and my dogs took to them and their huskies very quickly. Ciara provided excellent care and texted with photos, and my dogs returned happy and well-exercised which is so much better than leaving them at a kennel. There is just no comparison. What a relief! Highly recommend!! <3”

“Brandy has been great! She was available short notice over the holidays which we so appreciated and took things slow and steady with my shy dog.”

“Hannah was great, there were some issues getting into my house while I was out of town and she went above and beyond to make sure she could make it inside to take care of my cat!!”

About: I have experience with caring for dogs for 6 years now. I have had dogs of my own for many many years. I also help a show kennel with their dogs also. I am currently working full time from home and I make my own hours. So I am flexible with times to help you and your pup! I am very comfortable feeding/watering any dogs. I always follow what the owners want and how they do things usually. I am okay with anything.

“I will definitely be calling Patricia again! As a first time Rover user, she was really great. She ended up being within walking distance from our home. Love the pictures she sent to let me know how our Queenie was doing. She took her on walks and was very understanding of Queenie's preferences.”

About: I have been taking care of pets of every kind since I was 10 years old. I love taking care of pets. They make me happy. They are so loving and caring. I’m available anytime trough-out the weeks. I’ll be starting an online college at Liberty University to pursue an associates degree in Psychology. And work my way up to be a Physician Assistant. I have a fenced yard and three lovely dogs named rosee (miniature schnauzer), Nyla and Maddie (Aussiedoodles- standard sized). They’re both cat friendly, we also have two cats named piper and Lola (Persian). They are all playful to one another so if you’d like you can bring your fur babies along.

About: I have 3 dogs of my own, 2 Siberian Huskies and 1 Yorkie-Poo! Your fur-babies would have a fenced in yard to run and play in. They would have loads of fun playing chase with my huskies! I have fur babies of my own, so throwing an extra in the mix just allows for more fun! I am able to abide by your schedule for your pup! I have a fenced in yard, and live within walking distance to a local park with trails for more adventures while walking your fur baby!

“Olivia is very nice and took good care of Milo. Milo was very happy when I picked him up. Milo got accident inside the house, and Olivia said it was very understandable as the house is a new environment for Milo and he might be a little nervous.”

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!
