Doggy Day Care Five Oaks

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for more than 15 years, and caring for them is something I’ve always felt naturally connected to. I’ve raised my own dogs, supported pups with all kinds of personalities and needs, and spent several years as a dog foster — giving dogs a safe, loving place to land while they waited for their forever homes. That experience taught me how to read canine behavior, build trust quickly, and create a calm, structured environment where dogs feel secure. Whether it’s a high‑energy dog who loves adventure or a shy pup who needs patience and reassurance, I’m comfortable meeting them exactly where they are. My home is set up with ramps and steps to help small dogs and mobility‑challenged pups move around safely and comfortably along with a stroller for long neighborhood walks. My goal as a sitter is simple: keep your dog happy, safe, and relaxed while you’re away, and give you complete peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I work from home. Mid-day walks at lunch time everyday unless weather is hot, then early morning walks. Weekends usually allow for longer walks and the occasional hiking adventure. I like taking my pups to the Jenkins Estate. It is heavily wooded and not usually busy. Making it easy to walk with multiple dogs. I have a fenced in backyard that can be segmented into two if needed. A doggy door for medium sized pups for quick and easy access. If your pup is not familiar with one, I will work on some simple training to encourage and get them use to using one. Plenty of doggy toys for aggressive/heavy chewers. Nylabones, kongs, rubber toys and rope. Sorry, no fluffy/squeaky toys, my oldest can destroy the toughest in under 6 minutes. Home is air conditioned. Floors are waterproof vinyl plank flooring, and all couches and beds are covered with waterproof blankets incase of any accidents or simply messy dogs. My oldest pup likes to take dirt baths much to my chagrin. There is a small kiddie pool available for those hot days. Two crates are available for any pups that may need it. And plenty of baby gates to segment/separate as needed. My house has been puppy proofed once before, and can be if requested. And additional third-party insurance to cover any emergencies.

“Jeff was very thorough and prepared, he sent us pictures throughout the day, so we could see what our pooch was up to. I will definitely re-book with Jeff.”

“Vanessa was great. She is incredibly knowledgeable and an experienced handler. She took her time to introduce my dog to all of the areas in her home and sent me pictures with updates on how things were going. I will most certainly be using her services in the future.”

“Damon has been a life saver for my daycare needs. He is reliable, personable, and communicative. I work full time and have an active GSD who needs adequate mental stimulation and play. By the time I pick her up, she’s ready to eat and relax for the rest of the evening. He has a spacious and clean backyard for the dogs to roam/play around in without it feeling too crowded. I always get pics and updates thru out the day to make me feel reassured she’s safe and having a great time. Would absolutely recommend Damon and his services.”

“We have used other Day Care Sitters and Daniel J is by far the very best. Our doggie Otis can't wait to spend time with Daniel J and his loving care! I highly recommend Daniel J”

“Melani is amazing. She treat my Bamm Bamm like he’s her own. He jumps out tail wagging as soon as he sees her and I never worry if he’s having a good time. She gives constant updates and photos, and you can tell the pics are taken with love. Highly recommend”

“Julie took wonderful care of my active Aussie. My pooch came home tired, and we all know that a tired dog is a good dog. I will use Julie again...the next visit already booked.”

“Mark provided June Bug daycare for an entire work week. By day 2, I knew that he was doing a fantastic job as she was excited in the morning to find herself at his door. I would highly recommend Mark and Marcus to care for that furry member of your family. Two thumbs up!”

Sydnee R.

“My dogs had an amazing time with Michael and Cindy! They got lots of exercise and love and snuggles. I felt completely at ease knowing they were being taken care of while I was away. The dogs even got baths and massages, and came home all fresh and clean. :) So, so, so happy with my experience.”

Jennifer B.

“Moose had a great time!”

About: As a pet parent myself, I know exactly what it feels like to walk out the front door and feel that instant wave of worry; leaving your furry family members requires an immense amount of trust, and my top priority is making sure you feel completely secure, updated, and at ease while you’re away. I bring extensive, hands-on experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and cats of all personalities—whether that means managing a young puppy's strict potty-training schedule, giving a senior dog a gentle afternoon stroll, or respecting a cautious cat’s boundaries. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own, and I am committed to following your exact routine while providing detailed updates and plenty of photo check-ins so you never have to guess how they are doing.🦮💜🐾 Pet care is my top priority, and I structure my daily and weekly life entirely around my work. Because I plan my personal schedule to fit the needs of my clients, I have an incredibly open, flexible schedule. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, or evening care, I am fully available to ensure they get consistent attention and love exactly when they need it. When caring for pets, safety and comfort are my absolute top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly home with my own dogs, so I am deeply familiar with managing multiple animal dynamics and maintaining a secure, supervised environment—including the ability to keep my dogs completely separated from yours whenever needed. Whether hosting pets in my home or providing drop-in care and walks at yours, I strictly follow all specific care instructions, double-check that doors and gates are fully secure, and always keep dogs securely leashed during outings. My goal is to maintain your pet's exact routine so they feel completely safe, relaxed, and loved.

“We love our furbabies as if they are our own flesh, they are our "kids." Very seldom do we leave them and we mostly take them everywhere we go, our whole activity surrounds around them. Yes, we are one of those crazy furparents. and we are very thankful that we found Heather, who have treated Maxine and Callie with much love and care. We were able to go out and have fun without worrying. Heather sent us pictures and updated us often. On top of this, she was very helpful in giving us tips on where to go and dine in Portland since it was our first time in the city. Thank you again and I definitely recommend Heather for your furbabies.”
