Doggy Day Care in Buckman, Portland, OR

“Allen was super communicative all day and sent me photos and updates throughout. He even worked on some leash training with her which I super appreciated and gave me some of his own personal tricks. I felt like Roo had a fun filled day with such good socialization with the other pups. I will definitely book again!”

“If I could leave 10000000 positive reviews I would! Jiao and her partner are the most incredible, kind, professional, caring, and amazing rovers I’ve ever had watch my lil buddy!

So so so wonderful!”

“Kris helped us out last minute to take care of our two doggos who were out of their routine and did not love being in a hotel. They played. He kept them cool during the heat wave. He sent pics of two very happy doggos and they were so tired and happy when we picked them up. Thanks so much!”

Jimmie C.

“Amanda was so welcoming and caring while dog sitting for Q. She was knowledgeable and very capable; made sure to know what Q’s needs were. Her dog Ginger was friendly and understanding of Q being shy. Q was so well taken care of in a few days she went from being really shy to getting all excited play with Ginger. Amanda made sure Q had her walks and gave me all the updates I needed. Q started to participate in play more so I know her time with Amanda was safe, fun, and instructive! I would definitely recommend her for dog waking and dog sitting!”

Etty G.

“Ines very genuinely loves dogs, and she did a great job with our dog Sherman today! She is a thoughtful and enthusiastic dog-sitter. Sherman was so excited to get out for a good walk with Ines up to Mt Tabor! He came back tired from his stay with her and curled up on the couch and passed out! i really appreciated her excellent communication and photos during his stay at her home! Thank you Ines!”

Janos B.

“Bandit had a ball staying with Margaret and came home one exhausted pooch! I was very impressed with Margaret and her calm demeanor and obvious affinity with dogs. Bandit really took to her and I felt very comfortable leaving him with her and the other dogs in her care. He didn't say so, but I think Bandit was especially impressed with her doggy door that allowed him to take himself outside!”

About: My partner Rachael and I love our dogs, Annie and Balou, more than anything in the world! Rachael grew up on a farm in Texas and has vast experience caring for and nurturing all types of animals. Our life revolves around our dogs and we aren’t ashamed to admit it! We’d much sooner drive across the country to travel so we can bring them along instead of leaving them at home. The highlight of our day is always spending an hour at one of Portland’s many beautiful parks, off-leash, so that Annie and Balou can get the exercise and stimulation they need. We also enjoy taking them on walks but we do not consider that exercise. We have always welcomed our friend’s and family’s dogs into the house and now we’ve decided to make a business out of it! We also have a small orange cat, Goose, who is welcoming/indifferent to other dogs. And for transparency there is a ball python securely locked in a tank in the house. Annie and Balou love having new friends around to play with and antagonize! We can guarantee your pup will be returned to you happy and exhausted! Rachael works from home so she is here all day with the pets and is able to tend to their every need. I, Alex, am self-employed in the real estate industry so my schedule is flexible and I schedule appointments around the needs of the dogs. We much prefer staying home on weeknights and spend our weekends looking for fun new places to explore with the furry kids. We strongly believe our dogs deserve at least an hour of off-leash exercise every day. Walks are great, but we do not consider that exercise. We have plastic child gates that block off areas that shouldn’t have dogs temporarily but realistically the dogs are welcome everywhere in the house. We have a set of stairs going up to the primary bedroom but they’re not too steep. There are two doors at the back of the house that open up to the fully fenced backyard. Directly behind our house lot we back on to Irvington Elementary School, which is a great place to take the dogs when school is not in session. We are also 0.7 miles from Irving Park, which has a great off-leash area. And we usually take a trip to Fernhill Park once or twice a week for its vast open spaces that welcome dogs off-leash.

About: With a lifelong experience caring for dogs — I offer a calm, loving space where every pup feels secure, comfortable, confident, peaceful and right at home Hi y’all! 👋 
We’re Pao & Rod, a dog-loving duo living with our pups Taco (Pug) and Cookie (Brussels Griffon). Dogs are our world, and we run Rover together as a team—so your pup gets tons of attention, love, and care while you’re away. 🐾💚 From walks, feeding, and medications to drop-offs, pick-ups, and lots of cute photo updates, we’ve got you covered! 🐶 Our Home & Schedule * We have a very flexible schedule—Pao is home most of the time and days, and we’re happy to accommodate early or late drop-offs and pick-ups. * Dogs may be alone briefly in the early morning (6–9am) while Rod goes to work and Pao returns from hers. * If your pup needs 24/7 human companionship, Pao can adjust her work schedule to make that happen—just let us know! 🐕 Our Dogs & Hosting Style * We have two friendly, social dogs, so visiting pups should also be dog-friendly. * We’re a kennel-free home, giving dogs the freedom to relax and feel at home. That said, if your pup is crate-trained and feels more comfortable having one, we’re happy to accommodate! 😊 * We have one crate for small dogs available. If your pup needs a larger crate, please bring the one they know and love. * We host up to 5 dogs per stay, keeping things calm, cozy, and personal. * We’re experienced with leash-reactive dogs and happy to accommodate their needs. 🚫 Separation Anxiety Because we live in an apartment, we’re unable to host dogs with severe separation anxiety (excessive barking/howling, door scratching, or destructive chewing).
That said:
✔️ Short, occasional barking is totally fine
✔️ Dogs who are comfortable relaxing for a couple of hours with water, toys, blankets, the TV on, and our dogs’ company usually do great here! 🐾 Senior Dogs We LOVE senior pups ❤️ and are happy to provide gentle, attentive care.
A couple of notes: * If your senior can’t fully control bladder or bowels (we’re on the 6th floor), we ask that you provide diapers or belly bands to keep everyone comfortable. * We’re happy to give medications. * Need 24/7 care? Again—Pao can adjust her schedule to help! ⏰ Drop-Offs & Pick-Ups * Weekdays: early mornings (before 5am) and anytime from 9am–10pm * If you’d like us to pick up your pup from your home, pick-ups will need to be after 9am. * We’re flexible and always happy to coordinate, especially for emergencies or special situations. We can’t wait to meet you and welcome your pup into our little pack! 🐕💚 
Feel free to reach out with any questions—we’re always happy to chat. We live in a comfortable, kid-free apartment, so your pup can enjoy a calm, peaceful stay with lots of attention and quiet time. 🐶💛 We’re surrounded by great parks for relaxing walks, plus a nearby dog park for pups who love to socialize and play! The apartment is safe and secure, with protected areas and tall windows, so there’s no risk of jumping or accidents—just a cozy, worry-free environment for your dog to relax and feel at home. 😊🐾

“5 stars is not enough! Crystal is absolutely the best! she was able to take us super last minute and she took great care of my very sweet, but nervous german shepherd and was very accommodating. She is very caring and so sweet with Mila. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
