Dog Boarding in Cottage Grove, Youngstown, OH

“Carissa took great care of Wilbur. Best experience I’ve had on Rover. Took Wilbur early, sufficient updates with pics and videos so, I didn’t worry. Wilbur will be back!”

“Jeremy watched our Bear dog for a couple nights and took great care of him. They played, took walks and he even kept Bear happy and busy during a rainy day. Jeremy sent us pictures and videos and was great with communication. He seemed to genuinely care for our pup and our pup was happy hanging out with him. We would definitely book Jeremy again!!”

“Brooke was fantastic with our dog, Duke. She sent us daily updates and pictures of Duke and was able to follow his usual schedule. He had lots of outdoor fun. We will definitely book with her again!”

“Kaitlyn was great for the 8 days we was on vacation she kept in contact with me everyday and went me picture's, it was such a relief to see that he was in good hands as it was our first time doing this stuff it was scary, but she was a tremendous relief of how she handled our pup and took great care if him. We will definitely be using her all the time now!”

“Ali is a fantastic host! She provided many very appreciated updates during Mina’s stay, particularly in the beginning letting me know how she was settling in! Ali has two precious dogs herself & they became very fast friends with my dog! I could tell Mina was well loved & well exercised while she stayed! Ali even did an arts & crafts with Mina, sending her home with the cutest canvas & other goodies!! Highly recommend having your loved one stay with her family!”

“My dog and I are very happy with this sitter. My dog has found a second home and I will not hesitate to use her as a sitter again and again. I had no issues with this booking and was so happy to get updates through the time period. My dog was very happy with her stay. This sitter is very kind and made me feel at ease.”

“These guys were great! Received a few photos every day so I could relax knowing he was in good hands. When I picked him up, he went back into their house and back to them which told me he was super comfortable there and really enjoyed his stay! Thank you so much for the wonderful treats and care that you gave to our little Ollie!”

“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.”

“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.”

“I cannot explain in words how wonderful it felt to leave my boys in the magic hands of Gail! This was their first time away for 5 days and they had a great time. Daily pictures and communication from Gail kept at ease. It's easy to see she cares about your fur babies. Can't wait for the next visit, thank you from the bottom of my heart, Gail. You are a God Send❤️??”

“Lindsey and her entire family are great! My high energy dog loved running around the yard and playing with all of his new friends. He was definitely well cared for and he had so much fun on his “vacation.” He can’t wait to come visit everyone again!”

“Great service and response time ! My pup was super happy and comfortable Carly made him feel right at home . She will be our designated sitter and first choice .”

“Bruce and Abby are the best - we couldn’t have asked for a better family to care for our super energetic border collie. They have a beautiful home and a huge yard that kept our dog super busy playing with their two dogs. They sent photos and videos and responded as soon as we sent a message. They will be our only go to people for watching our dog moving forward. Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“My senior dog Penny and I have rarely been apart since we adopted her 12 years ago. This is the first time I wasn’t able to take her along on a trip, and I was very anxious about finding a place to leave her. Finding Nicolle on Rover was a blessing!! From our first conversation Nicolle made every effort to make me feel secure leaving my pup with her. Nicolle‘s home and family are welcoming and pet friendly, and the back yard is safe and spacious. I was able to take Penny for a visit prior to our trip which completely put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Nicolle, and would not hesitate to leave my pup with her again!”

“Every time I’m out of town Sarah takes such good care of my dog, Adabelle. She is always excited to see Sarah and it makes me happy to know she is well cared for in my absence.”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover fostering a soft spot for them since childhood. Growing up with a diverse pack of pets around me, including family pets. I’ve been consistently trusted to care for my own pets and the pets of others. My loyal companion, Rosie, has been a cherished part of my life for 5 years. I have a part-time schedule that allows me to have plenty of availability to provide loving care and lots of valuable cuddle time with your pets. Your furry friend can enjoy playtime in my backyard with a tie-out cable or gated area. My two dogs will adore having a playmate, and I have a crate on hand if needed. When home sitting I can provide additional home care services such as watering plants, cleaning, bringing in the mail etc.

“She was wonderful. Very great 👍”

About: I’ve had a fur companion all of my life! I’ve successfully raised and trained five dogs from puppies and I have experience with rescue pups who may not feel entirely comfortable in their new environment. I’ve experienced small and large breeds alike, with my current pup being a King Cavalier Spaniel. Goose’s cousins who we see weekly are two Golden retrievers and one rescue mix. I’m able to be flexible or rigid when it comes to your pets schedule, and am knowledgeable in special diets, fresh pet food, administering meds if needed. I have the luxury of working from home and creating my own schedule which makes my days very flexible! I currently can accept pets for boarding, play dates or walks Sunday through Thursday, 9:30am to 10pm. I have a fenced in back yard and a puppy who loves to play with other dogs of all sizes. My dog is allowed to be on all furniture and sleep in the bed and your pet would be permitted to as well if that is your preference! Goose and I take several walks a day and love to take day trips to various area dog parks and hiking trails or enjoy a lazy afternoon on the couch.
