Pet Sitting Cottage Grove

“Paige was wonderful to our pups. We received cute photos and updates as to how they were doing. She played fetch with our pups and they seemed happier with her than with some other people. Very patient and got back to us quick! If I'm out of town again, I will be contacting her again.”

“Katie was absolutely stellar! Both my dogs loved her and we will be using her services again!”

“Nick is very professional and gets along so well with Rey! He gave time, attention, medications, and some great neck scratches to my senior/fresh from a TPLO girl. I could not recommend him more.”

About: I recently worked in a professional dog kennel/daycare facility, so I have an understanding of how to read a dog's behavior and how to ensure their safety. I have open availability and can be flexible around your schedule. I’m a local to Youngstown and am an animal lover. If you're in my neighborhood, you may have even seen me walking my own dogs. I have no breed biases and am comfortable with all sizes of dogs. I have experience ranging from Danes, Doodles, Pitbulls, a Cane Corso, and even tiny dog mixes such as the Bichon Frisé. I can provide references upon request as I understand that it’s often stressful making sure your pets are in trustworthy hands. I’m comfortable working with animals of all ages. I am available for Dog walking, drop-ins, and Pet sitting in their own homes. Unfortunately, I cannot host pets at my own residence. If you are searching for help caring for an elderly neighbor's or relative's pet, I can work with you on a price, provided they're in my neighborhood. I am not a dog trainer, nor do I have experience professionally training dogs. However, if you have any specific training you are working to accomplish. I am willing to work with you for those requests within reason, provided they are things that your dog is somewhat familiar with, or that you, yourself, or your own personal dog trainer is working to do. Just keep in mind I am not a dog trainer; I simply understand the need for consistency in working with commands for your dog. I typically go on walks or hikes in my free time. I also love to spend my free time playing with the fluffy friends in my own home ♥️. Unfortunately I’m currently unable to watch pets at the place I am residing. I may be able to sometime in the future and I will update my profile if anything changes. SAFETY FIRST: I have a dog belt to ensure that accidents don’t happen where a dog could get loose. I also provide my own leashes and walking supplies as an additional precaution and wash them between dogs to prevent any spread of parasites or illnesses. I have a dog water bottle to ensure hydration on hot summer days. DISCLAIMER: If I feel it is too hot to walk a dog or that the weather is unsafe. I will notify you reschedule or refund you if payment was already taken. Your dogs safety comes first; with flat faced, elderly, fluffy or large/giant breeds; there is a very very real risk of heatstroke. I am also fully willing to accept cancellations without fees if you believe within reason it is unsafe weather to walk your dogs.

About: I have cared for pets most of my life. After high school, I would pet sit for teachers who went on vacation—and through word of mouth, became a regular on call sitter for 3 different homes with multiple pets. I have cared for, mostly, senior dogs but am so happy to give puppies the attention and energy they need. I especially love going on long walks. I am currently in nursing school and, because it’s an online hybrid program, I have lots of free time during the day and evenings. I have clinicals during the weekend but will be sure to block those days off when I get my schedule. I do not offer boarding for pets in my own home, since I live in an apartment, but am happy to do whatever you need to care for your little (or big) family members! All I need is instruction and I’ll take care of it.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I will treat your dog like they are one of mine. The area I live in is a very clean, non smoking condo. I live in the Canfield area. Pet care fits into my schedule perfectly. I am currently went back to school online and pet care is my job. I have a very open schedule to fit many needs. My condo is very clean and non smoking. The community around my condo is safe and very walker friendly. I live close to Mill Creek Park.

“Sia was wonderful! Our pup is a little shy at first, and Sia was so patient and warm while Apple warmed up to her. She gave detailed explanation of what they did together, and took many pictures to show our sweet happy pup in her care! I am so glad to have found Sia, and I will definitely be using her again!”

About: I have 16 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, as well as other small animals and exotic pets. This includes taking care of puppies, animals with specials medical needs and geriatric pets. I currently work part-time with a rather flexible schedule, and can often easily commit to overnight stays with a last minute booking window. My hours vary by day, and I am frequently able to stop by to walk or play with your pet before or after work. I am excited to ensure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve when you are away! Whether that includes playtime, long walks, or just contented snuggles on the couch with plenty of petting, I'm happy to give my love to your fur baby 💛

“Maya and her husband did a great job looking in on our sensitive little dachshund! The daily updates really helped us feel better about leaving our boy for a few days. Thanks, Maya!”

About: What sets me apart is the love and attention I give to every pet I care for. I treat every animal like they are my own and take the time to learn their personality, routines, and individual needs. I’m patient, responsible, and always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I also understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, so I make communication and updates a priority. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident in my care. I’m currently a ysu student commuting from home in the Austintown area. I work in home health care 2-4 times a week. I have lots of free time to care for your pets! I care for every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I follow their normal routine and any specific instructions they provide for feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and bedtime. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, and a clean and comfortable space. I also give pets the time they need to feel comfortable with me and always respect their personality and boundaries. I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I’ve raised two dogs on my own from puppies now one is 12 and one is 8 and they are great. I also have a year old kitten. They are great with other dogs. I have dog sat throughout the years on and off. I work overnights from home 3 nights a week and am off the other 4. My working nights are a little wonky but the dogs enjoy me being home all the time. I have a fully fenced in back yard as well as a house big enough to give all the pets their own space for down time

About: Hi! I’m Cass. I have been a life long animal lover. I was often the child bringing home every stray cat and dog I found. When I became a Mom and my youngest son begged us to get a dog, I was so happy. We added Rocky to our family 12 years ago and he’s been my companion ever since. We also have two cats Domino and Luna to complete our family zoo! We’d love to have new furry friends and visitors to come on our family adventures and to play with. I work from home so I am available all day for pet care needs to be able to frequently feed and bathroom breaks along with some outdoor time I have a somewhat private back yard and I will be outside with your pet at all times while they get outdoor time and use the bathroom or I am able to go to your home and walk them in their environment. I also have a nice neighborhood block area that I am able to take breaks and walk your pet.

About: I spent three years in college volunteering and taking care of service dogs in training, have volunteered at animal shelters, and have had two different dogs of my own throughout my life! I work a 9-5 Monday-Thursday and work 9-2 on Fridays. I'd love to help you out any time outside of those timeframes. Weekends and holidays are especially perfect! I'm super respectful of requests and rules, and understand that each pet has different needs. I cannot have pets in my apartment, but would love to help your pup outdoors or in your house however you'd like!

“Laine was very friendly and competent. She took very good care of our fur baby :) Hopefully, in the future, we can book her again.”

We also have neighborhoods around us to go for long or short walks for exercise. I have no problem with your pet being on the furniture if that is what they are used to. There are currently no other animals in the house, so your pet will get undivided attention. There is an electric fence on our property, but will only be used if the pets’ parent prefers to use it.

“Paige exceeded all of our expectations. My three large dogs were well taken care of, and when we arrived home, we figured we would have a mess to deal with because of the weather and muddy back yard, but Paige kept up with everything, again, above and beyond our expectations. Paige sent us updates daily, with pics of the dogs. These updates put us at ease that all was well back at home. Aside from all of this, we can tell that Paige is a genuinely good person that has a love for animals, treating ours as she would her own. If you are looking for a sitter, stop here and check her calendar, you wont regret it.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting and caring for dogs and cats for over 20 years, and I can genuinely say there are few things that make me happier than getting to know a new furry friend. I currently run my own pet-sitting business and have been incredibly lucky to build a wonderful little family of happy pets, repeat clients, and pet parents who trust me with their babies. I know every pet is their own little person! Some want to play fetch until your arm falls off, some want to be your shadow, some would happily spend the entire visit getting belly rubs, and others need a little extra patience and time before deciding you’re worthy of their friendship. I love learning all of those little quirks and keeping their normal routines as familiar and comfortable as possible while their people are away. I have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, personalities, and needs, including multi-pet households and routine oral and topical medications. And because I know how much you miss your babies when you’re apart, I’m a BIG believer in sending plenty of photos and updates along the way! Your pets won’t just be fed, walked, and checked on…they’ll get conversation, playtime, companionship, scratches, cuddles, and plenty of love. My goal is for you to be able to enjoy your trip or get through your workday knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, happy, and being genuinely cared for. Loving Your Pets Like They’re My Own isn’t just my slogan, it’s exactly what I try to do with every animal entrusted to me. 💕🐾 Pet sitting is already a regular part of my weekly routine, and I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to devote plenty of time to the pets in my care. I’m available weekdays, evenings, weekends, and overnight, and can often accommodate extended stays as well. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, some company during a long workday, or someone to stay with them while you’re away, I love being able to plan my schedule around their normal routine. When I’m caring for your babies, they’re never treated like something I need to “fit in.” Spending time with them is the best part of my day! 💕 I provide care in my clients’ homes because I believe pets are often happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s normal routine, personality, feeding and potty schedule, favorite activities, medication needs, and any special instructions their family provides. I’m respectful of both your pets and your home, and their safety and comfort are always my priority. I never force interaction with a shy or nervous pet…I’m happy to give them the time and space they need to decide that we’re friends! While you’re away, I’ll provide plenty of companionship, playtime, conversation, scratches, cuddles, and love, along with lots of photos and updates so you can see how your babies are doing. 🐾💕
