Hi there, my name is Grace. I grew up on a farm in WV, so I've always loved animals. I've always had great big happy dogs growing up, including a chocolate lab and a mastiff. I have two fluffy family members right now, my old lady cat, Luna, and our energetic pitbull/lab mix, Theo.

“Love dogs and going for walks!”
Hi I’m Kelli! I grew up in Michigan with Labrador Retrievers, and have always had a huge love for dogs! I helped train and care for my family’s dogs growing up, and now my own goldendoodle! I have sat, boarded, and walked many dogs of different breeds and ages, and enjoyed them all! I love getting outside for walks, especially when I can bring a dog with me!

Hello dog owners! I am a current student in college that wants every opportunity to step out into the fresh air, away from the classroom, with a dog by my side. My best friend is a 15 year old healthy toy poodle who unfortunately can't stay with me on campus. I have had experience pet-sitting both dogs and cats at the same time. I look forward to meeting new dogs!

Charleston in Kanawha County, West Virginia, is located on the south side of the Kanawha
River, and only 4.3 miles east of the State’s capital of Charleston. There are two
animal hospitals in town, one of which specialises in emergency care, so your
dog will be well looked after should he fall ill.
While you are here, Joplin Park is a must-see. Within the park’s grounds is the
pawriffic Bark Park, with a safe, fenced area for your pup to play free of the
lead and socialize with other pets. There is plenty of shade here and benches
for you to sit at while you watch your pup. Outside the dog park is a 0.3-mile
paved trail around the grounds where you can take a walk with your pup on a
lead. You may also like to utilise the exercise stations along the way too.
There are picnic shelters with grills at Joplin Park, as well as a playground
and basketball court, making it a fantastic spot for a family outing.
If you are looking for a pup-friendly place to eat in South Charleston, head to the Happy Days Café. There are three outdoor tables here where pets are permitted to sit with their humans. Tuck into your choice of sandwich (of which the selection is impressive) or a burger, hotdog or sweet treat of ice cream or milkshake.
