Dog Boarding in Cottage Grove, Youngstown, OH

“She was excellent with Our boy! She communicated frequently and gave our boy the love and cared he needed while we were away! 10/10 would recommend!”

“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.”

“Kaitlyn is an amazing pet sitter. I was so nervous because this was the first time I left him with someone. She reassured me that he would be ok. She sent several updates to letting me know he was doing good. I would definitely recommend if you need a good reliable person to care for your pets.”

“I am a little late in getting out this review, but in no way was it because I was disinterested or not wanting to do so..On the contrary, I absolutely felt the need to write this because of the loving service I felt my family had received from this Pet Sitter. Our family has 2 pets, a dog(Susy) and a cat(Milu) and like most on this site, we deem them to be our precious little babies. They never have really been away from the family for any great length of time, so finding someone to watch and care for them was very important to us. My family was to be in South America for a week, while I was away from home that same time for my work. I had found a Pet Sitter very close to our home for Susy, but could not find anyone for Milu. After much searching, I realized the Rover website and there found numerous Pet Sitters available for Milu. After much searching, we were able to procure the services of a Sitter on Rover and set the contract. Then, with 1 week before our departure, the contractor informed us that she had to cancel our reservation because of health issues in her immediate family and would not be in the area during the needed time. That really put us in dilemma to find someone in such short time. So we searched the Rover site and found several, but all the family agreed to contact Melissa... There were several things that greatly impressed us about Melissa. First there were the reviews. While there were not many, Melissa's reviews were actually very accurate and factual about the care that our Milu would receive. They spoke of the great love she had for animals, as we all experienced firsthand. As I had mentioned, our babies had not been away from us and Milu is very timid with strangers. So, we were surprised when we actually brought her to Melissa and after Milu s brief inspection of her new abode (Lol), she was right there, on the couch and happy as can be. I know that animals sense our love for them and I was amazed at how comfortable she was at that time. Later photos, which Melissa sent through the week, also confirmed how tranquil our precious niña was. In fact, when I returned a week later for Milu, she went to Melissa, not to me and she actually cried when I took her away. That experience was special to me and I knew then that our family had made the correct decision in choosing Melissa. Another proof to me that Milu was very comfortable there, was how she interacted with Melissa's young son. Normally, she runs and hides from children, but the pictures showed her actively playing with the boy! I have never seen her do this with any other children, but my own. I can think of no other magic that could have done that, but love. Yes, I am and family are so pleased with the decision we made to contract Milu's care with Melissa. I think that anyone who loves their pet would also have the same impressions with Melissa's care. I almost never write reviews, but felt the need to express my thoughts and feelings with this one. Thank you Melissa for taking care of our Milu! And, I actually do think that Milu misses you!!!!”

“Heather dog sat for our family this summer. We have a 110 LB pit bull who is very loving with all the energy of a 2-year-old pitty. Heather was great with her, reliable and thanks to her we could enjoy our time away from home (5 days). Heather came to our home several times during the day to feed and let our dog out. We have a fenced in yard, where she hung out with our pup and played fetch and tug of war with her. she was wonderful and we definitely plan on having her back for our next long weekend away. I would recommend Heather to anyone looking for help with their furry family. she is prompt, trustworthy and most of all very caring with animals (and even enjoyed the jump-up full face kisses our pup gives).”

“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”

“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 have loved & cared for both small and large dogs since I was young. I currently have two smaller dogs, that are fed the best quality of foods, long walks & going for a run/bike ride every Sunday for 5+ miles. I am always trusted with caring for family pets when family leaves out of town. I currently work from home full-time, so you can rest assured that someone would be able to be with your pet for the entirety of their stay. Typically try and go for a walk through the neighborhood after work, weather dependent. I have a fenced yard that allows your pet to play in, we also have a full basement for playing in rainy days. Lots of living space to never feel cramped, and pets are always allowed on the couch for their comfort.

“Zoe is literally one of the most sweetest caring considerate and empathetic person I have met! She was so understanding and updated me about every single thing happening with my pet! She met all my needs and my cat is in perfect shape!! I found my new sitter!!!”

“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.”

“Dianna is a wonderful sitter, she takes Toby for walks everyday when weather permits and sends me updates and pictures daily which makes me feel at ease about his stay. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”

“Gail was great with Hadley. We received pictures and updates everyday. You can tell she loves dogs and we felt very comfortable leaving him in her care.”

“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!”

“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!”

“Tops. Shelly is very friendly, and gives us daily updates with pictures. I highly recommend her.”

About: I've been around animals my whole life especially dogs. I previously was employed and volunteered at a shelter. I have also worked for a boarding facility and as a dog trainer. I have previous dog sitting experience as well. I have 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I am very familiar and comfortable with dog body language and many different dog breeds. I can also administer medications if needed. I currently only work as needed! So, I have plenty of time to be able to care for some sweet pups! Or any other animals! I am a very trustworthy person! I have a lot of experience with dogs and am committed to make it them have the BEST visit possible! They will be loved on and spoiled during their visit!

“Bethany took great care of Rocket! We will definitely book with her again in the future! She also sent cute pics and videos while we were away.”

“Melissa has taken care of my dogs many many times! She is always on time, very responsible and caring. Melissa is always very sweet with my dogs and they love whenever she’s around! I couldn’t think of asking anyone else to take care of them!”

About: Hi everyone! Our names are Karen and Chad and we’ve always had a love for dogs since childhood. The thought of caring or rescuing a dog has always been top of our minds. When we got married, we adopted a greyhound racer. We had him for 7 years and lost him unfortunately due to cancer. Since we lost him, we’ve wanted to continue helping/caring for dogs and can’t think of a better way then helping others with their fur animals. We know the working world doesn’t always accommodate balancing out caring for our fur friends and work and would love to help with that! Please chose us to care for your fur friends whether it’s a walk or a overnight stay in our home! We will treat them with the utmost love and care! We are available for stays and walks in our home from Thursday until Sunday night. We work from home Thursday and Fridays so can walk them whenever needed! We have a nice back yard but do not currently have a fence (at this time). We can walk the dogs in our backyard with a leash and or take them to nearby parks. We do have a dog bed and dog water/food bowels with plenty of space in our 2200 sq.ft home.

“Marie watched my two dogs for a week while I was out of town. She was extremely responsible and caring. She fed them and took them for a walk two times a day and sent me pictures without me having to ask. I could tell by her interaction with them that she enjoyed being around them. She was positive and easy to work with!”
