Doggy Day Care in Downs

About: Are you worried your fur kid is bored while you are at work? Do you have a trip where dogs aren't allowed? Do you have an only dog child who seems lonely? I'm available to check in on, cuddle, and treat, at your home, or daycare in my home with my well-behaved dogs. I have a big escape-proof backyard and lots of time to spend with all the fur kids. While at my house, dogs are allowed anywhere they want to sleep. I am also available for pick up and delivery for vet visits, and groomer appointments. I've 30 years of experience working with dogs as an owner, breeder, therapy dog partner, and rescue group director. I've pretty much seen it all with small dogs. I also have experience with big birds (cockatoos, macaws, African gray and South American parrots, and cockatiels). I love almost all animals. I'm retired and so can pretty much fit additional pet care into my daily schedule. I've managed multiple pets for many years, including Japanese Chin rescues, who often had special physical and emotional needs. I have a large fenced yard and friendly dogs for your's to play with at my house. If I come to you, I will spend enough time to make sure your fur kids are happy. I am gratefully retired so I'm home all the time. My husband is retired too and serves as the assistant caregiver as well as the chief petting officer. I'm an early riser and he is a late-night guy so your kids are covered with an awake adult about 18 hours a day. I have a secure, double-fenced yard, a large house with lots of beds, and plenty of time for cuddling. My house is entirely dog-friendly, with hardwood floors and a special room for feeding the furkids.

About: Hi, I’m Kendyl! I recently moved to Silverton after buying my first home, and I’m loving getting settled into the area. I’m engaged and planning to get married this summer, and animals have always been a big part of my life. I have a German Shepherd that I actively train, so I understand the importance of structure, exercise, and engagement for dogs of all breeds. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, extra playtime, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’m here to help. I truly love animals and will make sure your dog is well cared for and gets the attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, as I have a more flexible schedule Monday through Friday during the day. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, and training sessions. Since I actively train my own dog, caring for and working with other dogs is already a regular part of my day. Whether it’s a midday walk or some extra enrichment, I’m able to provide the attention and exercise your pet needs! I prioritize making pets feel comfortable, safe, and engaged, whether in my home or a client’s home. In my home, I have a fenced-in yard, providing a secure space for dogs to play and get plenty of exercise. I ensure they have a structured routine, including walks, playtime, and basic training reinforcement if needed. In a client’s home, I follow any specific instructions to maintain consistency in their pet’s routine. Whether it’s feeding, exercise, or enrichment, I make sure each pet gets the care and attention they deserve.

About: Quiet country experience whether you would like to run or just be cozy on the couch with a fire in the fireplace we are here for you. I work remotely as a nurse and enjoy a quiet slow paced home. As we work together we will find a rhythm that works for all of us. I offer a fully fenced large yard with places to sun bathe and watch birds and wildlife. Lots of visibility and safety. Indoor and outdoor beds.

“I scheduled a first visit to meet Shauna and make sure our pup was a good fit. Shauna is great at communicating. She messaged prior to the visit to confirm, and helped me understand the process when I booked. My pup was still a bit nervous, so I didn’t leave her there, but Shauna was very kind, and tried to help her feel comfortable.”

“Ashley is just the best! Maizie came home happy and tired from “preschool.” She and Paco had fun playing together and walking around the block. Maizie was even comfortable enough to take a nap or two, and Maizie ate her food! That never happens! Ashley sent lots of photos and videos. When we return, I know Maizie will be happy to see her friends once again. Thank you for the great puppy care, Ashley!🤗”

Claudia C.

“Larissa and the littles were very gracious with Ash exploring a new home and humans. He came home happy and ready to nap from such an exciting day.”

Farrah C.

“Absolutely amazing! Great set up for the dogs and Shelly was super sweet and patient with my rambunctious group of 5! 10/10 would(and will) recommend!”

“We are so fortunate to have found Jennifer! We commute from Tigard to Salem every morning for work. There are times we have to be at work at 6am and therefore have to drop our two dogs off at 520am. In addition, we aren't able to pick them up until 6pm. Our pups come home exhausted! This is a must since we don't have the energy to run them around after a 12 hour day. She sends tons of great pictures showing happy pups. When she watches your dogs you can rest assured that she is "watching" your dogs. What makes Jennifer great is the attention and love she gives your dog. She's also very affordable. We considered doggie day care, but quickly realized that was a very expensive avenue. Also, most doggie daycare places aren't as flexible with pick-up and drop off times. you won't be disappointed!”

Lindsey B.

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kelsi! From day one, it was clear how genuinely caring, patient, and attentive she is with my puppy Lucy. She treats her like her own, making sure she’s safe, happy, well-exercised, and loved. I always receive great updates and photos, which gives me total peace of mind knowing Lucy is in such good hands. Her reliability, communication, and obvious love for dogs truly sets her apart. I am so grateful to have found someone I trust completely and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog—especially puppies!”

Ronda C.

“Gayle was so good with our girls. She helped them get through their nerves upon our departure and was wonderful throughout the even after some displays of poor manners early on. She sent pictures and updates that kept our minds at ease. Her setup is great for the dogs and they made themselves comfortable. Can't say enough great about her!”

Halei S.

“Athena was so comfortable with Phillip and came home each day exhausted from a day full of fun. I appreciate the pictures throughout the day and great communication.”

Danielle C.

“Candace is a wonderful dog mom!! From the moment we met I knew Maizie would be in good hands. Candace is warm and nurturing but also aware of the mischief puppies can get into. She sent me lots of photos throughout the day and kept me updated on Maizie’s progress. Maizie had fun meeting the other animals around the farm. We are hoping to leave her for a longer time next time. I know Maizie is looking forward to seeing Candace-mom and her new big brother playmate, Wilbur again. She had a great time!”

Claudia C.

“Diana D. was so accommodating to take my little Harley at such short notice. When I came back to pick him up she shared with me some simple ways to help him feel more confident. Diana sent pictures throughout the day as well, which helped me get the a long meeting. Thank you again Diana.”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover who currently shares my home with a beloved dog and three wonderful cats. My dog is truly my child, and I ensure he thrives through a strict routine of timely feedings, regular walks, and plenty of interactive play throughout the day. This personal commitment to my own pets' happiness and health is exactly what I bring to every animal I care for. What sets me apart is my experience with specialized care; I currently look after a special-needs cat, which includes performing daily eye treatments. I am comfortable following complex care instructions and providing the patient, attentive medical support that senior pets or those with health challenges require. Whether your pet needs high-energy exercise or gentle, specialized attention, I will treat them with the same love and devotion I give my own family. My daily routine is entirely structured around my pets. We start the day at a sharp 8:00 AM for morning breakfast and plenty of outside time. Because I work from home with a flexible schedule, your pet will receive constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and interactive play throughout the day. Our evenings are calm and cozy, ending with soft paw nudges for bedtime. Whether your pet needs a strict medication schedule or just someone to be there for afternoon naps, I have the time and dedication to make them feel right at home. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I provide a secure environment with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. To give you peace of mind, I am happy to send frequent photo and video updates throughout the day so you can see how much fun they are having. For walks, I utilize multiple leashes and harnesses to ensure every outing is secure and controlled. Whether in my home or yours, I maintain a vigilant eye and follow all specific care instructions to keep your furry family member happy and safe.

About: Ever since a child I have had an undeniable bond with animals. I’ve worked with all types, birds, horses, dogs, cats, livestock, exotic animals, you name it. Growing up my family was always pet people and they’d say I’m more of a pet person than them all! As a previous rancher, I have tons of experience with medications, veterinary care, and pet care for all species. As an entrepreneur I have all the time in the world for my pets and yours! My schedule is almost always free and ready for you! I own a beautiful 6 year old working line German shepherd, so I specialize in high-energy and protective breeds. I understand their drive, structure, and need for leadership. My goal is to keep your dog mentally fulfilled, exercised, and emotionally secure while maintaining the training and routine you’ve built. I also have experience with low energy dogs, training puppies, and even whelping litters! Pet care is my full-time job, so I have a very flexible schedule and can provide consistent attention and care. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks throughout the week, including weekends, with plenty of time for play, exercise, and companionship. I focus on personalized, attentive care in a calm, clean, and secure environment. I maintain your pet’s routine, monitor behavior and health, and provide mental and physical enrichment. Owners receive regular updates and photos for complete peace of mind.

“I’m a repeat customer of Mackenzie’s & she’s the best! I’m so lucky to have found someone who takes such good care of Chuck. I truly appreciate her.”

Joni M.

“I used Maylie for day boarding and some overnights for just over a month straight. I have two dogs and they LOVED hanging out with her. She was great at communicating and checking in about things she wasn't sure about my particular dogs and I could always reach her to check in! I would absolutely use her again if I needed to board my dogs”

Viola G.

“Jill was great to work with! This was my first time booking with Rover and Jill made it easy and enjoyable! Every time I contacted her, she was prompt and very helpful with her responses and she sent photos of my dog while he was with her. i I00% recommend Jill when looking for care for your furry family member!”

Ron P.

“We used Elizabeth’s service for one day dog sitting & it was excellent. Our pups were catered to and were happy & relaxed when we picked them up.”

Heather E.

“Tess was available with short notice. She was able to wrangle my energetic dogs through their first babysitting experience. They were with her for a couple of hours and were extremely comfortable. Thanks, Tess!”
