Pet State University & HomeStyle Boarding

Three decades of animal experience

Pet State University & HomeStyle Boarding is owned by Michele and Drew Delgross and has operated since 1993 from 2120 Summers Ave. in Streetsboro, OH. The owners claim a combined 70+ years of animal care and training experience, having worked with both exotic and domestic animals and taught throughout Ohio, the Midwest, and both coasts, with consulting work in Canada and France. That depth of background is the clear differentiator here.

Home-style boarding and training together

The boarding model is genuinely home-based: pets stay inside the owners' residence with access to a large yard, 24/7 attention, and playtime with other animals rather than in a traditional kennel setup. On the training side, the approach is described as "positive behavior modification techniques," and the focus is explicitly on coaching owners alongside their dogs — "We teach both the pets, and their owners, on the necessary behaviors to succeed, while minimizing the problem areas!" Training is delivered through both group classes and in-home services. No formal certifications are listed on the site, but the long operating history and stated breadth of experience anchor the credibility. Reach them at (330) 842-1473 to discuss boarding or training.
