Doggy Day Care in Cottage Grove

“Mike is incredibly professional, responsive, and great with my dog. I would trust him to watch my pets all day long. He truly cares and it shows. I would recommend and refer him all day long. Thanks, Mike, for taking such great care of my dog!”

About: I care for each pet as if they were my own. I walk, run and play with them. I treat every pet like a friend, offering comfort, attention and emotional connection. I bathe my dog about every other month. We have a routine in the morning with a walk before breakfast. Sometimes a walk around lunch time and another one after work is done. He is well loved and treated like a family member. I work full time Monday through Friday. I am in my office 3 half days and full time at home the other 2 days. I could stop at someone’s place on my way home to spend time with a dog and walk them. I can also stop over after work and later in the evening. In my home I have a fenced in yard that my dog can run free and play. If I am in a clients home I would make sure that there is nothing that the dog/puppy could get into after spending time with them/walking them.

“This was our puppy’s first time staying with a sitter, and Caleb did an amazing job! He was kind, patient, and attentive — exactly what we needed for our young pup. Caleb kept us updated with photos and messages, which really helped ease our nerves. Our puppy came home happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with Caleb. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust and will definitely be booking with him again. Highly recommend!”

My dog is very friendly. I can crate your dog if needed. I can do daily walks.

“This was our first experience using Lynn to provide an afternoon of daycare for our two, 1-1/2 yr old labs Maggie and Willow. Lynn met with us for a visit before we booked this daycare service and we found Lynn to be very knowledgeable, confident, cheerful and pleasant to work with. She did a great job answering all of questions and gave us the time we needed to ask them. On the day of daycare she took extra care in introducing our pups to the other dogs since Maggie can be very timid and a bit insecure. Everything went really well and by all indications Maggie and Willow had a great time. We will certainly book future stays with Lynn.”

“We had such a great experience with Giovana! She was very responsive and kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages. It was clear that Kit was well cared for and loved — Giovana truly treated her like part of her own family. We’re so grateful for her kindness and attention, and we’ll definitely be using her services again!”

“Teddy was happy to spend the day with Amanda, she gave him lots of love and attention. I was so relieved that Teddy was well taken care of. It's a plus that she has a fenced in back yard.”

About: Your pup will be the only one in our care during their stay! They will get all the cuddles, all the love, all the attention and all the things! They will enjoy our fenced in backyard and will be allowed to roam through our entire home. Jazmin is a college student home for the summer, and is in her 3rd year. She is on the deans list, and committed to getting good grades, being reliable and dependable, and willing to help provide a loving home for your pet! Jazmin will be away starting mid-August and since our family enjoyed every single dog we had over the summer, Mary has decided to continue providing care to help offset college expenses. Mary works from home, so your pup will never be alone for more than a couple hours if needed to run errands. We had a boxer that we raised from 10 weeks old to 12 years old. Unfortunately she was laid to rest in February 25, so your pet will be given a lot of love and affection and help fill our empty home. We have experience with puppy's all the way to senior dogs who are blind, deaf, diabetic, have seizures, etc. We have watched family's, neighbors, and friends dogs. We would be honored for you to share your pup with us while you are away. Our price reflects our care and amenities; fenced in yard with shade trees, allowed on beds and couches, we don't require a kennel unless needed, we wash food/water bowls daily, a GPS tag will be used in case you pup escapes, someone is always home, numerous walks around the block, pictures will be sent daily, access to all 3 levels of our home and we only take 1 family at a time! Jazmin will return from school in December 2025-January 2026 and again in mid-May 2026 to mid-August 2026. Is this your first time on Rover? Use Code: JAZMIC96925, to get $20 off your first booking after you sign up! Jazmin is away at college right now. Mary works from home and can attend to your dog as much as needed. Someone will always be home with your pet so they can receive the adequate amount of care that they need. We are also available for dog walking, potty breaks at the pets home, and pretty much everything. We have a fenced in yard, dogs are allowed on the couch, bed and all areas of our home. Whether you prefer kennel or no kennel either works for us, walks will be provided upon request and medication for senior dogs will be administered if needed. I am open for helping in whatever way I can, and I am willing to accommodate within reason.

“Bethany was THE BEST person for my dog. She has a very lovely home that is tidy and has created such a calming and welcoming vibe. Throughout the sit, she would keep me informed on what was going on and reassured my anxieties of leaving my dog with her. She listens and respects any of your requests. I could tell my dog had a lovely time with her because by the time I came to pick him up, he was hesitant to leave, which all the good signs that he felt at home. If I'm ever in the area again, Bethany would ultimately be my first choice. Thank you Bethany for all you've done to help my dog feel like it was another home and friend to visit.”

About: Hi! My name is Shannon, my husband’s name is Dave, and we have an 11-year-old daughter, Harper. We absolutely love and adore animals—especially dogs. 🤍 We recently lost our beloved Morkie, Brooklynn, unexpectedly due to kidney failure in August. She meant the world to us, and we miss her dearly. While we’re not quite ready to welcome another dog of our own just yet, we would love to share our hearts and home by caring for your pet. With 13 years of having had our own Morkie, we care for every dog like our own, offering gentle care, plenty of snuggles and lots of love — so your pup feels safe and happy! We’ve cared for many family and friends’ dogs, treating each one with extra love and attention. We understand pets are family and want you to feel completely at ease. We both work full-time with flexible work-from-home options Monday through Friday if your dog needs daytime companionship. Our evenings are quiet, and we only list availability when we’re fully present—because your dog deserves our full attention. We have a fully fenced yard where your dog can safely roam, play, go to the bathroom and enjoy plenty of fresh air and exercise. We can also bring your dog on walks, if desired.

“Excellent service! Lorena was extremely warm and attentive with our puppy, who is only 11 weeks old. We felt at peace leaving our furry baby with her. She is also very knowledgeable about puppy development and gave us the requested tips. Will definitely request her services again.”

About: I've had a dog for over 20 years with experience from puppy stages through elderly dogs with medical needs. I also have years of experience with small animals, especially hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs and rabbits. My family and I would love to spoil your dog while you are away. I work from home so pet care easily fits into my schedule and is tailored based on the pets needs. My family and I are home most weekends and enjoy taking family walks. I am able to crate pets if needed and have gates if we are gone for a short time to keep them in a safe place within the home.

“I’ve used Mary many times now and can’t say enough great things about her! My Jack Russel, Snoopy loves his time there and I know he gets lots of love when he is there, which helps his mom feel better when she has to be away.”

“Emily had a huge fenced in back yard that my dog could explore and play with the other dogs. It’s nice that she could get exercise. They liked having her and would love to care for her again.”

Beth T.

“Ruby was at Geri’s for the first time this past Saturday. Geri is a very kind, caring and gentle person. I felt immediately comfortable when I met her and felt Ruby would be well cared for while I was working all day.”
