Dog Boarding in Cottage Grove

“My dog (11 months) has been boarded before. He has never had a problem, but when he came home, he had pent up energy and regressed in training. However, with Shelly he did not regress at all. He was very happy to see me, but he also seemed to say goodbye to her in the way he interacted which made me feel like he really enjoyed his stay with her more than other times he’s been watched by others. I would use Shelly again.”

“Kristin was great! Wonderful communication, Kobe had a great time playing with the other dogs, and she even shared some pictures. Highly recommend!”

“Sarah was wonderful! Our two dogs were pampered and cared for. They received lots of love and exercise. It made our time out of town all that more relaxing knowing they were in good hands.”

“Great Communication! Gave great updates regularly! My puppy absolutely adored and had so much fun being there! Cared for my puppy like it was her own ? Gave him all the attention, dog walks, pictures and cuddles he needed! Will definitely be at the top of our list to reach out to when he needs to be watched again ? Thank you so much Megan!”

“From first meeting Robert, Fauci and I were convinced he’s the best! He understands dogs and knew just how to keep him content and happy; a schedule with 4 walks, mealtime, and most importantly a loving approach. I highly recommend Robert!”

“I sent my puppy to stay with Emily for the weekend and she had a blast. Emily took amazing care of my dog and her dog Josie provided just the right kind of gentle socialization that my pup needs. I would highly recommend leaving your dog with Emily.”

“It was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous about everything, but Chloe put us such at ease. She sent lots of pictures, and treated our Kira as if she was her own. 10/10 would recommend for sitter services. I just wish we were staying in Madison a little longer so that we could use Chloe again! Thank you so much, Chloe!”

“Joe was super friendly, and I felt like my dog was in safe hands. Denali got plenty of time to play outside, and I think he had a great time! Joe was prompt in responding when I asked about how things were going. I will definitely reach out again in the future when we need someone to watch our dog!”

“After my meet and greet with Emily, I was instantly at ease and knew my young golden retriever would be in good hands. She was very communicative, checking in with me every day to let me know how things were going and what they got up to, and she always included photos! Emily was very flexible both for drop-off/pickup and for stopping by her house over lunch for the first couple of days to check on my pup. Her having a golden retriever of her own and a couple of sweet kids who gave my dog so much love was also a bonus!”

“Zac enjoyed being at Suellen’s! Thank you Suellen for taking care of Zac for the weekend and taking him for walks and playtime. Much appreciated!”

“Tony was good with communication and sent lots of pics of Merlin so I knew he was doing well. He’s been sleeping all day since he’s been home! Merlin loved his stay and playing with other dog friends there. Will definitely be booking with Tony again!”

“Bethany took great care of my pup Calvin! She sent me updates and photos each day and I can tell how much she cares for animals. She is so sweet and made my dog feel at home! Calvin lovedddd playing with her dogs.”

“Julie was perfect for when we had an emergency with another sitter. My dog fit perfectly with her dogs. She knew how to take care of my dog's needs. She communicated every day. It was great to see her pup. I would use her again. 100% satisfaction!”

“Nevaeh did a great job with our 4 year old dog that had never been away from us and had some separation anxiety. I would definitely use her again.”

“I couldn’t reassure anyone more that Sarah is a fantastic dog sitter. It was obvious upon meeting her that she’s a natural with dogs. Prior to dropping my dog Daisy off, and during my vacation, Sarah was a prompt communicator, and always sent me updates and photos. I appreciated that she asked if she could bring Daisy to the dog park (which Daisy definitely prefers, although obviously Sarah wouldn’t do that if you weren’t comfortable with the idea). Daisy also got along so well with Sarah’s dog Pepper, and I honestly really appreciate that Daisy had another playmate. Finally, Sarah had an extra crate, so there’s no need to lug a crate with you if you book her! I’ll definitely be booking her for my future trips!”

“Renee was great! Great communication and my dog loved being there and was comfortable in her home from the start. I will be booking with her again. Would highly recommend! 😎👍🏽”

“Kevin had a great time! This was the first time he stayed over night without us and he did great. Kevin had another dog to play with and I don't think he missed us (well not too much anyway). I would definitely use Val again and recommend him highly.”
