House of Hounds Charleston

About this groomer

Across two convenient locations in Charleston and Nitro, West Virginia, this family‑run pet care operation offers a true home‑like setting for dogs and cats, backed by around‑the‑clock supervision and a cage‑free environment designed to encourage safe social interaction. The core focus centers on dogs, with cat services integrated to uphold high temperament and health standards that reassure owners. The Charleston and Nitro locations provide: Dog daycare (cage-free) — supervised, home‑like play space. New dogs participate in a four‑hour socialization/trial for a $35 fee; ongoing daycare is billed at $4.50 per hour. Dog boarding — overnight stays with continuous staff attention; dogs are temperament‑tested and fully vaccinated prior to attendance; nightly rate is $55 per dog, with a 10% discount for multi‑dog households. Grooming — on‑site grooming with breed‑specific styling and spa‑like add‑ons (lotion treatments, teeth brushing). Groomers are trained by the owner to maintain a calm, comfortable experience; appointment waitlists may apply. Cat services are offered in the same facility footprint, featuring grooming and cage‑free boarding in private cat suites. Notable cat options include: Cat boarding — private suites and cage‑free play rooms; boarding is $40 per night, with routine supervisor visits and updates available on request. Cat grooming — grooming sessions starting around $200+ depending on service; private room arrangements and photos/videos can be provided upon request. Other differentiators include around‑the‑clock staffing, TV lounges and expansive dog play areas, Animal First Aid certification among staff, and a community‑oriented approach with adoption resources. The facility operates two WV locations—Charleston and Nitro—to serve families across the Kanawha Valley and surrounding areas.
