Canine Cottage-Roanoke

"Edited: Unfortunately, they require a vaccine that is expensive and hard to find.. I think for kennel cough..so sadly, we had to admit, it was beyond our means. Curry had his first visit last week and I really appreciate their evaluation. Lots of feedback and they obviously care deeply about their pet guests. The whole operation was thorough and we feel good to know he has a safe place to go when we travel. Thanks, Canine Cottage"

"Hard Pass on this business. We decided to bring our dog here under the guise of having him boarded. They require 3 play dates to figure a dogs temperament. Which I suppose is fair, but to my knowledge the only place that does that. Upon initial visit the employee (Haleigh?)said our dog will probably fail because he was a little timid in the lobby. Our dog was friendly and accepted treats and had no issues then. When we picked him up she said he failed their “test” because he didn’t want to play and just kept to himself. No aggression, he’s almost elderly so it’s expected and haven’t had an issue with any previous dog care facilities we’ve been to. The employee said to bring him back tomorrow and “maybe” he will pass. The wording and tonality from the employee was extremely off putting and not a place we will recommend to friends.Assessing our dog in a new environment and expecting them to be comfortable is unrealistic. This seems to be a common occurrence per other reviews. Trust those. Aspen Grove would be my recommendation as they are very friendly and great with dogs even if they’re lower energy."

"Me & my family visited Roanoke for a convention this weekend & due to a booking error with our air bnb, we found ourselves needing daycare services at the last minute for our dog. Jason & his wife were so kind & accommodating & took excellent care of our fur-baby. I would absolutely recommend Canine Cottage to anyone in the Roanoke area! 10/10 DEFINITELY recommend!"

"We are new to the area and were looking for a place to bring our two dogs who are used to group play for daycare. We went to trial days for a few places and toured some others, but couldn't find the right fit. Canine Cottage wasn't on our initial list. When I ran another search on Google, it popped up! I loved the information on the website and how thorough the intake form was. We brought them for a trial day and I could tell the woman had read the information for them carefully and was ready to work with them on their first day. She informed me they have small groups and can give breaks in between play which suits my dogs' personalities. We have brought them several times and each time the staff are all so wonderful! They get report cards at the end of each day with their BFF for the day listed which is adorable. The pups come home happy and tired. Highly recommend Canine Cottage!"

"We love Canine Cottage. My dog goes to daycare . He also gets groomed there. Its very convenient to have grooming at the daycare. The owners and staff are amazing. I can tell they love their jobs. I am so happy that my dog has a safe place to play while I work or run errands."
