Doggy Day Care Centennial

“My puppy loved his time with Anastasia--he was visibly excited every morning when I dropped him off, Anastasia sent photos and videos of him and his new pals having fun throughout the day, and he was thoroughly exhausted when I picked him up at the end of the day.”

“Sam was fantastic, very accommodating, and clearly experienced with dogs! Our pup can be very anxious when meeting new people and pups, but took to Sam and the other pup very quickly. She came home happy and tired! Thanks Sam!”

“Seth was super responsive, communicative and professional. While we struggled to find a Rover receptive to caring for our dog that doesn't play well with others, they quickly read the description for our dog and without preempting, let us know the accomodations they would take to ensure our dog had a stress free stay. They obviously knew how to take care of dogs well, including rather particular pups like mine. We were so grateful for Seth and felt very comfortable leaving our dog in his care. Next time we are in the area and need pet care, we will definitely go to them again!!”

“Emma is wonderful and her doggy camp is the best. Our pups are always well taken care of and have a blast running around their big yard - this is especially wonderful for our high energy Boston terrier pups. They normally fall asleep on the ride home and we are so thankful!”

“Adnan was great with my puppy, Dolly! She spent the full day with him and his dogs, and everyone got along swimmingly. I was able to receive updates and photos throughout the day as well! Looking forward to this being Dolly’s weekly daycare.”

About: I may be new to Rover, but I'm not new to working with dogs. My life revolves around dogs and has for many, many years. I run my own pet services business, Hounds of Love PDX, and bring a lifetime of experience in all areas including rescue, handling, walking, daycare, sitting, fostering, transporting and volunteering with local rescue organizations, as well as for Oregon Dog Rescue and Dove Lewis. I'm a small dog and senior advocate, and work with dogs of all sizes. I’ve always had an affinity for sighthounds(Greyhounds, Italian Greyhounds, etc), and understand their unique and sensitive nature well. I always put dogs first in every aspect of life, and feel they’re all part of my extended pack, and treat every dog as such. Safety is absolutely the top priority for me when working with pets. I’m always watching, listening and paying attention to their body language. I have a thorough understanding of dog behavior and know that each dog has a unique personality and needs, and that not all dogs are extroverts. In fact, many are quite the opposite. I’m naturally hyper-vigilant, yet focus on remaining kind, calm and confident when working with dogs, especially when out in the world. I’ve completed a variety of trainings with dogs over my lifetime, from canine good citizen, to flyball, to advanced therapy dog training. I’m Pet CPR + First Aid certified, as well as bonded and insured through Pet Sitters Associates. I always carry a well-stocked pet first aid kit in my vehicle, as well as water, bowls, treats, blankets and travel crates so as to always be as prepared. I’m professional, reliable, punctual, responsible, trustworthy and pride myself on practicing clear and transparent communication. I'm located in the East/SE Portland area, also near Happy Valley and Gresham, and I service most all surrounding areas. In addition to working with dogs, I'm also a part-time jewelry artist and I work out of my home studio. I make my own schedule and usually, always available. I can schedule around most everything. At my home, I have three small rescue dogs that are a bonded pack. We utilize pet gates in our one level, ranch style home, and dog run fencing in our large, fenced backyard. Open to small to small/medium dogs for boarding and daycare.

“Julie and Barry are wonderful! If we lived closer I’d always use them to care for my dog, and I’d want to have them as my personal friends! Having traveled to Portland from San Diego to visit our toddler granddaughter, we were in a bind. Our mixed-breed dog is reactive to the toddler and to the two cats who also live in the house, and that makes for a stressful visit. I wanted to get a dog sitter, but I was worried about finding someone so far from home on short notice. Our dog has a lot of separation anxiety and is rather high-strung. I started a search on Google, and Julie and Barry popped up. Trust me, you should do what I did—look no further! I knew right away that I had found a gem! Julie and Barry have a beautiful, peaceful home. They were so kind to my dog that she jumped out of our car each morning when we dropped her off and ran up to their front door because she was so excited to see them again! In short, we didn’t have any worries at all about our dog during this visit. Julie and Barry only take care of one dog at a time, and they will give your dog individualized attention and lots of love! They do this out of their love for dogs, and I can’t imagine a more perfect situation. Thank you so much, Julie and Barry!”

“Gus had a great time and came home happy and ready for snuggle time. He seemed very comfortable as soon as he arrived, and when I picked him up he seemed at ease with Alexandria. I will definitely bring him back.”

Rachel C.

“Kyle was incredible with our pup! Great communication for the meet up, drop off, and pickup. Our dog was comfortable right away which is rare for her! Kyle gave great updates throughout the day letting us know what she was up to and made sure she stayed cool on a hot day. Would recommend Kyle highly!”

Marla & Derek N.

“They treated my dogs like their own. Even bathing them when they got a little messy. They sent photos & always responded when I was checking in. They asked many questions about routines & lifestyles to make sure it was a good fit prior. I will definitely be booking again :) thank you for caring for my dogs 🩵”

Amber M.

“Mark was great! He initiated a meet and greet - which I really appreciate as my dogg doesn't like to be left alone. Mark seemed comfortable with my dog. I would recommend him to my friends.”

Laura I.

“Devin was great with my puppy. Found out that my pup has a little bit of separation anxiety, but Devin managed to keep her distracted with walks and play time. Very happy with our experience. Will definitely use her again!”

Mindee D.

“Margaret was an excellent sitter - extremely diligent and flexible. She sent me photos of Lana playing with the other pups and kept me informed the whole stay. Would definitely recommend Margaret!”

Natasha B.

“Bridgitte is always great with our little rescue dog. We always get pictures of them out taking walks, and she takes our dog out to public places like restaurants which is good for her socialization. Bridgitte is super friendly and personable, and couldn't be easier to work with.”

Nate A.

“Shasta and her family are very loving and caring, we truly trust her completely. Our dog Gus gets so excited about having a stay it make leaving him a boy easier knowing he just runs right into the house out of excitement!”

Ericka W.

“Hayleigh was wonderful taking care of my pup! she can be a handle full sometimes but Hayleigh always has a positive attitude and my puppy gets excited when we pull up.”

Kristina M.
