Doggy Day Care Esther Short

“Larissa was an absolute lifesaver when I needed last-minute doggy daycare for Dryden for a couple of days. She was extremely accommodating on short notice and made the entire process completely stress-free. She kept me updated throughout the day with lots of photos, which gave me total peace of mind. Dryden became fast friends with her dog, Appa, right away. I think having Appa around really helped calm him down and made it super easy for him to get acclimated and feel right at home. He came back happy and well-cared-for, and I’ll definitely be reaching out to Larissa again in the future!”

“Lajetta is the best! She frequently watches my dog and he gets so excited to see her and loves going over there. He usually doesn’t want to leave when I go pick him up. She does a great job caring for Tony.”

“Debbie has watched Milo many times for me and I feel comfortable and confident every time I drop him off. She takes great care of him and every photo I get it looks like Milo is having a great time! Any and every time I'm in the Vancouver area I send Milo to her ❤️❤️”

“Michelle was great. She was able to help me last minute when I was in a pinch. My dog came home happy well fed and nicely tired from a fun trip to the park. She communicated with me throughout the day and sent me photos. I Will definitely hire her again!”

Kari D.

“Shadie was really helpful and communicative both while scheduling and during our pups’ stay with her. They came home tired and happy, which is all I could ask for. Will definitely use again and highly recommend!”

“Elaine is great. I had to change my appointment a few times due to work and she was very understanding and flexible. She was able to set up a playdate and we came over and met her, her family and pets. Very communicative throughout the day. I have an elderly pup with bladder cancer and Elaine really cared for her and asked questions throughout the day. I highly recommend and will be using her again.”

About: I have availability 24/7 to care! Even as a kid, I’m the one who spent the most time with our pets! Will follow your example instructions just how you want! I’m currently not working, so I have all the time to take care of your pet. No schedule conflicts, so you don’t have to worry :) I have a small place, without much to do outside. But there’s a park less than 3 minutes away for walks. There are stairs to my place as I live on the second floor

“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.”

Shirley K.

“Phoenix and Ollie love coming over for the day! They love the back yard and phoenix loves all the toys he can get his paws on! Matt and his wife are super sweet and the boys love going over!”

About: I'm a responsible and doting pet carer. I am certified by the American Red Cross in pet first aid. I have had a variety of dogs over the years and have experience with senior dogs, special needs dogs, and puppies. I also have customer service experience. I'm communicative and responsive. Your pet will be safe and cared for and you will be worry-free with me! I have a flexible schedule. I’m available seven days a week for your pet care needs. I’m also available for last minute requests. I update my calendar regularly and am responsive to your needs. I have pet care insurance to protect your pup from any unexpected incidents. My home is pet safe and ready for your beloved for boarding. I live in a safe neighborhood and have plenty of space to take pets on walks in the neighborhood. I live alone and have no pets, so I can take pets that don't get along with other dogs and cats or children.

“Jared was an excellent sitter! Both my Papillons seemed to have a great time with Jared, Bartholomew, and their cats. Communication was smooth and timely throughout. I would be happy to bring my furry babies to Jared again. Highly recommended!”

Jamie K.

“Maryorie was friendly and great with communication. It was my first rover experience and it was nice to get a picture update after drop off and report about how he did at the end of the day. I appreciate how she did a meet and greet before hand to ensure my dog and her dogs would get along and so that we could get to know her. Looking forward to booking with her again!”

About: If you are looking for a pet sitter who genuinely loves animals and provides a safe, active environment, you are in the right place! I have years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals—from dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes to chickens and other small critters. Animals are a natural part of my life, and I know exactly how to tailor my care to fit your pup's unique personality, whether they are high-energy zoomers or low-key cuddlers. To give you extra peace of mind: I spent years being trusted by families as a nanny for three different households. You can rest assured that your beloved furry family member is in incredibly capable, highly responsible hands. The best part? A fenced yard! We have a spacious, securely fenced yard with plenty of room to run. Whether your dog wants to burn off energy playing fetch or prefers to leisurely sniff around and lounge in the fresh air, they will absolutely love the outdoor space we have to offer. Working from home gives me total flexibility to adapt to your dog's established routine. I am here throughout the day to provide constant supervision, mid-day desk cuddles, and frequent potty breaks in the yard. Your pup will enjoy a highly attentive, stress-free day that perfectly balances companionable downtime with plenty of active outdoor play. I believe trust is built through absolute transparency and a controlled environment, which is why I only host two or three compatible dogs at a time. Our home is a calm, secure haven, free from the chaos of large kennels, where your dog's unique safety needs are closely monitored. To keep you connected, I provide consistent, detailed updates and photos so you always know they are safe, happy, and thriving.

“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!”

Gemma F.

“It was Zero’s first time staying with her and it looked like Zero really enjoyed his time at Michelle’s place. She sent us updates throughout the day and was flexible with the pick up time. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her more in the future!”

“Hillary and family welcomed our dog into their family and were very attentive to her needs. Hillary communicated well and was very responsive. I really appreciated their care.”

About: What dogs love about spending time with us: 1) They have a sense of comfort & trust. I am always attentive with them, since I work from home and have worked in (human) emergency rooms and psychiatric facilities so handle chaos well. 2) My lifestyle is flexible based on what they prefer (long walks or relaxing) and they usually have 2 people available 3) my apartment faces S/SE and gets sun throughout the day. Dogs seem to LOVE sunbathing. 4) I am close to downtown parks and 3 blocks from the new section of the waterfront. Giving them a variety of smells each day. 5) For you - I’m a decent photographer and enjoy getting shots that showcase your dog’s unique personality Specific experience: terriers, Maltese, shih tzu, poodles, spaniels. High energy dogs needing exercise as well as dogs with a lot of various anxieties & prefer being with someone all day. Senior dogs and puppies (outside of newborns). While there are no other animals currently in my home, I have had my own dogs for nearly twenty years and been around various small and medium/large dogs for over a decade. I enjoy taking care of dogs, walking, playing, feeding, and bathing. I even trim my parent's dogs hair. I live in a one bedroom apartment so likely a better fit for small to medium dogs. If you need a recurring service would love to build a relationship with your dog so he feels comfortable visiting someone he knows. Reach out for any questions! My partner and I work from home and do not have pets, so I would love to spend time with them! At least one of us is home most of the time. If we leave it’s for a couple hours at a time, max. And are open to bring the dog if it’s not hot. I live in an apartment and do not have any pets. I would be able to visit homes or other apartments to care for pets.I am able to spend a lot of them with them and walk them around the neighborhood or park depending on their energy level. They will receive a lot of love!

“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.”

Leah

“Dominique has been great to have as someone we trust to watch our puppy. She has been very easy to communicate with and flexible with her time which we are grateful for since sometimes our schedules don’t always go as planned. I can tell our dog Kali is loved and has a great time there when I pick her up. There’s usually other friendly dogs there throughout the day that Kali can play with and it’s always nice to hear she’s making friends. We will definitely be back!”

“Haleigh has sat Rocky on a few occasions now when I've been in town for work and can't take him into the office. Appreciate her responsiveness and I know my pup is in trusted hands!”
