Dog Boarding in Youngstown, PA

“Brittany was WONDERFUL with our dog. He's never been left with someone he doesn't know overnight and Brittany was great with sending updates and letting us know how he was doing. Would absolutely book with her again when we're in the area!”

“Carol is amazing. She was loving and kind with our pup and we were extremely comfortable with her when we left our pup at her home. We received regular photos and updates on sleeping, eating and playing. I highly recommend Carol!!!!”

“Renae was a wonderful choice. Took very good care of our dog. She texted updates during his stay and also photos of him enjoying himself. She also has training knowledge and actually taught him a new command.”

About: Growing up surrounded by a variety of animals—from reptiles and birds to cats, and dogs—I’ve developed a deep understanding of pet care. Over the years, family and friends have relied on me to look after their pets, trusting my attentive and compassionate nature. With my own dog, I’ve completed puppy and advanced obedience classes, explored agility training, and even participated in AKC FastCAT trials. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s part of who I am. My schedule is highly flexible, so I’m available when you and your pet need care most. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a midday walk, or a cozy stay while you’re away, I’m here to make pet parenting easier and stress-free. I have two children (ages 7 and 1½) who are gentle, curious, and adore spending time with pets. Alongside them is our friendly 4-year-old Dalmatian, who is crate-trained and well-socialized. We live on a spacious property with an invisible fence, but I understand not all pets are familiar with that setup—so your dog will always be walked on a leash for safety and comfort. I also have room for an additional crate to provide a secure space for your pet if I need to step out, ensuring their well-being at all times. Your furry family member will be treated with the same care and attentiveness I give my own.

“Ann was so amazing! She took our puppy swimming and made sure to send us pictures and videos. I definitely recommend her to watch anyone’s pup. And she’s overall such a good hearted woman!”

“Highly recommend Krysta. Our Bella stayed with her for 2 nights at her home. She sends you lots of pictures and keeps in contact with you throughout your dogs entire stay. Very sweet girl. Will be using her again in the future.”

“Jordan did an excellent job caring for Blu at her home while I was away on an extended weekend. Her qualifications speaks for itself making her more than qualified for the job. She did an awesome job me providing me regular updates on how Blu was doing to include photos making me feel at ease for it being his first time away from me and his normal environment. Definitely recommend and would trust Jordan again for future needs.”

“My dog had a wonderful stay with Vivian. She made sure to send pics and updates during his stay. We will definitely book with her in the future. Thanks for watching Rusty!”

“My original sitter fell through last minute, but Rebecca welcomed Jefferson with open arms! I honestly could have not asked for a better person to watch my dog. Jefferson is an 8-month great dane who is filled with puppy love. He can be a bit overwhelming because of his size and energy, but Rebecca did not seem phased by it at all. She consistently kept me updated by sending photos. She was gracious, loving, and responsible. I will definitely be re-booking with Rebecca.”

“David provided excellent care for our cat on very short notice - we were very appreciative”

“Wow, such a wonderful sitter! Beatriz took care of my Chihuahua-mix and 3-month-old kitten for a few days. My babes are playful and clingy, and I was worried about being away from a basically newborn and her rambunctious big sister -- they're a handful! But according to all of the (amazing!!!) photos and videos, it seems they were quickly right at home, with their own spots on the couch and newfound toys. Loved all of the updates and overall appreciate Beatriz's care for my pets :). Will definitely book her again if she'll have them!!”

“Kara was very responsive in setting up our visit. I was in Italy and even with the time difference she made sure I got a message and pictures daily. Teddy seemed to enjoy his visit. She has children which he loves. Definitely will use her again!”

About: I am an average guy who works from home 3/4 time. I have a small but quaint place with a fenced in yard. I have 2 dogs who will keep your dog company who love to play, sleep and cuddle. I have plenty of dog toys and treats. I am able to attend to your dogs needs as needed but at least every hour in between my sessions. I have cameras tp observe the dogs when I am not home and friends close by should I absolutely need. I work from home and can have hourly bathroom breaks. I also have pee-pee pads available. I take daily walks with my girls or I can provide individual walks for my visitors. Weekends are usually light with plans but never far away. As mentioned, I will be able to be home with periodic office hours. I have toys and a small yard. If I am stopping into your home, I will respect your and your pets boundaries and expectations.

About: I’m a full-time professional with three years of experience teaching manners at Humane Animal Rescue, and I’m excited to welcome friendly, well-socialized dogs into my home for boarding. My approach combines safety, structure, and enrichment so your dog feels secure, happy, and fulfilled during their stay. My home is set up with safety in mind—hazards are kept out of reach, and visiting pets are supervised closely every day. I have a securely fenced backyard for safe outdoor play, and while there are a few steps, I make sure each dog’s needs are accommodated. Before any stay, I require a meet-and-greet with my own well-socialized pit bull mix and cat. This ensures everyone feels comfortable and sets the tone for a stress-free visit. I also honor your preferred training methods and routines while adding daily mental and physical enrichment—sniff walks, puzzle toys, and engagement games—to keep your pup’s mind and body happy. Whether your dog thrives on quiet companionship or loves a more active, engaging schedule, I’ll make sure they feel cared for like family. I currently am a full time working professional with a hybrid schedule. I work two days in office and my husband works from home daily. Your pet will always be attended to and cared for like our own. I understand the importance of peace of mind when trusting your pet with another person. Extra attention and care is always taken to ensure pet safety, whether this be around open doors, while on walks, or any other particular needs they have.

“Emily took excellent care of my Barkley while I was traveling for a family wedding. Barkley was dealing with some seasonal allergies, and Emily sent me updates daily to let me know how he was feeling. He needed to take some medications and supplements during his stay, and Emily did a great job providing those, as needed. This was Barkley's first visit, and he enjoyed exploring the fenced yard and spending time with Emily's dogs. It was nice to know that Barkley was well cared for while I was away!”

“Melissa took excellent care of my pups. She is flexible, communicative, and very attentive and patient with my dogs. Melissa sent daily updates with photos and videos which we loved to see. She has two sweet pups that my dogs got along great with and loved playing with during their stay at her house. They also loved playing in her big fenced in yard. They came home happy and exhausted! We highly recommend Melissa for pet sitting/boarding! Thank you, Melissa!”

Jill H.

“As always my little buddies love their time with Melissa! It’s a joy not to have to worry about anything while I’m traveling and they are in her care! Plus they have so much fun with Melissa’s 2 small dogs Daisy and Louie! It’s like going to summer camp for them! 🤣🤣”

Anisha W.

“My pup spent a week with Lindsay and her family and I couldn’t be happier with how attentive she was to my dog’s needs through the entire process. She provided many updates so that I knew my pup was happy and enjoying himself. I can tell that my furball will be so happy to go back!”

About: I truly enjoy getting to know each individual dog's personality and tailoring my response to match. My family always had a dog growing up. Though I am not a "dog trainer" my dogs have always been taught basic commands and learned to reliably respond, for their safety. Lots of treats. I am retired, so I (and my husband) are normally home except for brief errands. My dog and I take about a mile walk twice a day through the woods. Your dog would get frequent leash walks, and whatever playtime they wanted. And of course lots of hugs. :) We have a large back yard bordering on a wooded area for frequently leash walking your dog. Additionally we have a small (20' x 14') fenced area for some off leash play time. Our dog enjoys other dogs and our cat thinks he is a dog. Our pets are allowed on furniture, but of course we would reinforce your rules if they differ. We will play games in the house and lots of attention will be given.

“Tina was great. The nice perk is she has a big yard and a doggie door so my Yorkie could go in and out of her house whenever he wanted to. He is very attached to people and she took very good care of him!”
