Dog Boarding in Lincoln Knolls, Youngstown, OH

“My dog loved staying with Carissa. I received daily updates and pictures from Carissa, informing me how Quinn was adjusting and enjoying her time. Carissa was loving to my dog and very flexible with pickup and drop off. I appreciated how Carissa introduced my dog to her dog and the surroundings. Quinn is looking forward to another stay with Carissa.”

“Daijanique was the perfect host for fancy while I was away to see family on Thanksgiving. I made late plans but despite the short notice, she responded right away and was able to confirm booking. She took lots of photos and kept me updated throughout the 3 day stay. Would recommend!”

“Jeannine was amazing! She watched our 9 year old basset hound and our 5 year old Chocolate Lab. Honestly, was really stressing about the stay for our basset hound and Jeannine because our basset has terrible anxiety and whines constantly. But to my surprise and my husbands, Zoey made herself at home with her and same with our other dog too. I would for sure refer and use Jeannine again in the future. Also, sorry Jeannine that it’s taken me a minute to write this review.”

“Kaitlyn was great! She sent me lots of pictures of my dogs throughout their stay. I can see why she gets the ratings that she does! She will definitely be our go to when we travel to visit our kids.”

“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Jasper really appreciated the photographs. Sorry I couldn’t communicate as we were away in Europe. Really appreciate your care.”

“Very sweet & nice people. Lived up to our expectations & did what was supposed to be done. Sent us pictures often of our puppy & he was living his life!! I highly recommend Carly to others who need a sitter.”

“Carly is very dependable. She has been my first choice for dog sitting for years while I was travel nursing. She is Beverly good about following the list of do’s and don’ts that I left for her and I know she loves my grizzly (chocolate lab) and cares for him well. She is extremely trustworthy and capable.”

About: Although I’ve had pets my whole life from dogs to snakes to fish, I received my first puppy that was solely my responsible when I was 14. One of the greatest gifts I could have ever received and I cherished every moment. I got her early so I had to start by bottle-feeding her and that’s where it all began. Before changing degree plans, I went to school for Pre-Vet and most of my volunteer work has been at animal shelters or foster care. At my last duty station, many of my friends trusted me to take in their pets while they were deployed and at one time I was caring for 4 dogs. Of course, I had a house with a fenced yard then. I currently have a very well trained pup who is 3 years. He leads by example when faced with other dogs. I trained him myself with the assistance of weekly online instruction. I’m currently working about 5 minutes from my house and am able to run home whenever needed. I have Wednesdays and Sundays off as well as every evening. I live in an apartment that offers plenty of yard for pets with a lead that stretches across the entire front yard. Many of my neighbors walk their dogs by and allow their dog to greet mine. I have a pup that likes to match the energy of others so if your pet loves to play he’s all for it but if your pet is a little older and just wants to nap, my guy also loves cuddles.

“My dog had an amazing time, Nicole and her family were very nice and communicated quickly, they have a fenced yard and my dog made a best friend with one of her dogs. She sent pictures of my dog as well which were very cute!”

About: I've successfully raised and trained two puppies from scratch, and I'm confident in my ability to provide the extra attention and exercise they need ! I'm available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits to accommodate your pet's feeding schedule, exercise needs, and playtime. I'm happy to adjust my schedule to accommodate last-minute changes or unexpected needs. I provide a comfortable and quiet space for your pet to rest and relax. I maintain a clean and hygienic environment, disinfecting surfaces and washing pet bedding regularly.

About: Since a very young age, I’ve been well trusted to provide comfort and care for animals of all breeds and sizes. I’ve helped care for horses, chickens, cats, dogs, fish, you name it! The type of care I have provided has ranged from mucking stalls, to bathing, to pet sitting/housekeeping. I’d love to help you provide the attention and care your pets need (and deserve) to help them thrive. I am a full-time, hands on mom to my sweet 1 year son, Kylo. I am self-employed and have a very flexible schedule. What works for you will most likely work for me! Feel free to reach out at any time regarding any questions or concerns. I’m very communicative and will get back to you in a timely and reasonable manner. As I’ve mentioned previously, I have a 1 year old son. I also have a Cane Corso. With that said, if your pet/pets are not pet friendly or child friendly, I have no problem keeping them separated for everyone’s safety. I will follow all of the instructions you have set in place for your pets well being. I will provide love, affection, and comfort for their best overall experience. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing that they are safe and provided for properly.

“Another great experience. Easy to work with. My dog lovers her and her dogs. Highly recommend!!”

“Sarah is there any time I need her to watch my animals. She cares about my pets the way I would expect her to care about her own. She's one of the only people I trust to watch my animals when I'm away”

“Savannah is clearly an animal lover because my pup can be pretty difficult ? She was communicative and flexible with my schedule. Great experience overall and I will definitely be using her again. Thanks, Savannah!”

About: I've been pet sitting for over four years and working in kennels for about two years. I love animals and am always looking for a chance to work with them. I have an immense amount of experience in medicating, feeding, bathing, and generally caring for dogs. I currently have open availability. I’m taking online classes and working for a tech company online also. I am home for the majority of the day! I have a large fenced in yard with lots of space for your dog to run and play as they please! I also have a very friendly senior beagle that loves to sleep and is always open to meeting new furry friends!

About: I’ve taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes my entire life! I have loved and cared for big dogs, little dogs, cats and several rodents! I currently have a full time job that is 8-5 but I’m working from home so as long as I have access to wifi, I can snuggle and care for your pet all day I make sure to follow a feeding schedule of the clients choice and keep a full water bowl. I make sure pets have the chance to go potty every 4hours and even play with them! In the afternoon I like to take them for a walk and give them lots of love

“We got lucky ! Kristen was fabulous. She sent us pictures everyday with updates. We were very emotional leaving our puppy for a week with a stranger but we couldn’t have met a better pet sitter. We definitely will use her again. Roman our labradoodle had plenty of attention and other dogs to play with. He even got a girlfriend.”

“Marissa was great!!! She was very responsive and my dog warmed up to her right away! He seems to have had a great time with her & her dogs & kids - and he’s very tired and worn out which is always wonderful too ?. We would definitely use Marissa again!”
