Dog Boarding in Cottage Grove, 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.”

“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.”

“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.”

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.

“Carly has always taken such good care of my pets when we needed the help. She helped us to take care of our elderly cat who needed extra liquids and medications. She is very caring and a true animal lover.”

“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!”

“Kaitlyn has become my favorite sitter when I come into town to visit my family from Nashville! She responds quickly, keeps you updated, and takes very good care of your pet. I will always use here when I’m in town.”

“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”

“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.”

“Nicole is a very loving person when it comes to animals she takes very good care of the animals and loves when other people allow her to watch the animals”

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

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.

“Sienna is GREAT with animals! She always watches mine when we go out of town and I know that they are happy and enjoying her being with them! 100% recommend :)”

“Kamlie was very kind and responded well to messages. Her pups are so cute and friendly too! She definitely didn't have an easy time the whole time she had my doggie, but handled it well and I owe her big time lol Love that she works from home and has a fenced in yard! Definitely will use her help again!”

“Shelly was great with Kona! She sent pictures and Kona was very happy to snuggle with the family on the couch and play with her son! Very responsive and reliable. Happy to have found Shelly and will use again!”

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.

About: Hi there- my name is Destiny and I have been an avid animal lover since the day I was born. I have had cats and dogs within my care for as long as I can remember. I have taken in many stray cats and have got them neutered/ spayed and have found homes for them over the years. I believe that all animals are a true gift to us in this life. They are only here for a part of our lives but we are their whole life, so they deserve nothing but the utmost love given to them every day. I will treat your dogs/cats like they are my own. I currently work from home for my full time job, so I have adequate time to go on walks, play, and give your pet the attention it needs. I have a 2 bedroom apartment in Poland, Ohio, so I have many sidewalks and parks all by me to take your fur baby on all the walks and play times it needs. I do have a cat, but he is very sociable and friendly towards dogs.

“Alexis did a great job. Our puppy was well cared for and we recieved photo updates daily. He was returned to us happy and healthy and he obviously enjoyed his time with Alexis. I highly recommend her services”

“Shannon is compassionate, caring, organized, and resourceful. I would recommend her to anyone as a pet caregiver just on her lifetime of experience of growing up with and caring for her own pets. Then you add her years of professional experience in attention to detail costumer service, from babysitting to event coordinating.”

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