Doggy Day Care Arbor Lodge

“Storm takes a bit of time to get comfortable in new environments with new people, but she seemed to settle in easily with Gil and Peaches! We are so thankful they are patient with her separation anxiety and welcome her on daycare days!”

“Another wonderful visit at Dawn's house. She has so much fun with Dawn's daughter and their two dogs. It's a mini vacation for Maggie when she is with them. Couldn't find a better place for her when we are away.”

“Evita has an incredible smile, and that was indicative of the care and affection she obviously showed my pup. Our dog returned home happy, well fed, and well exercised. Evita was very friendly, and extremely attentive. I will definitely request her as a sitter again. Thank you Evita!”

“Sarah was a great sitter for my dog Rosie. Rosie was so excited to come back every morning for daycare, and Rosie and Ellie were fast friends. We will definitely book with Sarah again in the future!”

About: I have always had a dogs in my life. I went from growing up with dogs to getting my own dogs when I went off to college. They have been with me since up until recently when we had to put our dog penny down at age 16. Suddenly I find myself without a dog and it is very lonely, but I am not ready for a new permanent addition, so I am hoping to pet sit to still have dogs in my life. My husband and I both work from home, so we are around to give pets love and attention throughout the day. We do have 2 young children so it is important to us that your pet loves kids or is at least used to kids. We recently had to put our two elderly dogs down (14 and 16) so we really miss having dogs around the house but are not ready for a new permanent pet yet, so we are very excited about dog sitting. We have a fenced backyard, we love going for walks, and our kids would love to spend hours playing fetch if that's something your dog enjoys.

About: I grew up taking care of family dogs and began sitting friends dogs before adopting my own pup, Scooby. I'd grown up with typically smaller and mid size dogs and sitting a large dog helped me realize how much I loved the gentle giants and rowdy ones. Scooby was a handful initially - reactive, anxious, stubborn. I knew with love, care and time he'd become the gentle giant he is today. I'm committed to always learning more about training and helping dogs be good safe citizens. I work remotely which allows for lots of proximity if needed as well as flexibility in planning daycare / boarding daytime walks, play and drop ins. My goal is pup fulfillment. That means engagement through play, pets, walks, treats games. I make sure to include time to decompress whether it’s on a cozy pillow at home or in the shade after running and rolling in the grass. I’m attentive to dietary needs. From model citizens to pups with “problem behaviors” I’m committed to working together to ensure they have the best time while you’re away.

“Greg is a lifesaver! Super responsive and easy to coordinate with, I had a pretty last minute need for off-site dog sitting and Greg thankfully was available and flexible. I'm so glad he has Hilo too, someone to play with definitely helps my big baby not be glum about being away from home.”

“Peter took my puppy on more walks than he gets at home! He came home tired, which is hard to do with this fella. I appreciated the generous care he offered my puppy.”

“Wonderful, wonderful dog sitter! She was incredibly kind to my dog! Her two dogs were adorable and were great for nervous, first time in someone else’s home dogs (my dog). She took them on frequent walks, communicative about eating, treats, potty, and nap time and sent many pictures. I’d recommend her to anyone with small-medium dogs that need somewhere to go either sitting or boarding. One issue I faced which wasn’t a huge deal, was in the middle of my reservation the rate of sitting increased to almost double the initial rate I paid for. My intial booking was 15/day and I asked for one more day of sitting, and the entire reservation was modified to 25/day. It caught me off guard since it was the middle of the week and I was caught off guard with the new price. The service was worth the new rate, just wanted transparency there.”

“I felt totally comfortable leaving my dog Willy with Allison! Would definitely bring him over again!”

Caitlin W.

“Emily was amazing with my rambunctious 4 mo old puppy. She was so flexible when I had something come up and I had to pick him up late. She's even showed me some basic grooming tips! Do not sleep on her! We will definitely be booking again.”

“Tyson had the best day! Heath is kind, friendly and natural with dogs. They were very easy to schedule with and great communication. Tyson can’t wait to come back.”

“Allen is awesome! He took great care of our 5 month old puppy. Allen is great for dog socialization and personalized, attentive care. Highly recommend!”

“I took my dog to Kate for daycare one day while we were visiting Portland. Kate has a wonderful outdoor and indoor space for doggy daycare. She sent many photos and updates. It looked like my dog had so much fun. I highly recommend.”

“Don took excellent care of our dog and sent pictures throughout the day! Our dog was happy and tired when we came to pick him up. We will definitely rebook!”

Jessica B.

“Sarah and Freya were absolutely wonderful from start to finish! From the meet and greet to our first day of daycare, Sarah made the whole experience seamless and stress-free. She kept me updated throughout the day, which I really appreciated, especially since daycare is still so new for Moon. Her patience and willingness to work with him as he adjusts made all the difference. I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust, and I’m looking forward to having Sarah care for Moon on a weekly basis. Highly recommend!”
