Top rated Government Island doggy day care sitters
“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.”
“Ian was great with my dog. He was dependable and knowledgeable. My dog was always happy at pick up and had obviously been well cared for. I really appreciate Ian taking care of my Iris while she was in heat, that is not an easy thing to find, and he handled it with ease. Ian was also available with little notice. He is flexible and responsible. I have felt very grateful to find him.”
“Took excellent care of my high energy puppy, provided lots of pictures and videos of him happily playing in the yard, prompt and communicative. Couldn't have asked for a better person to trust with my kiddo for the weekend”
“Erica is great! She’s very communicative and sends photos and updates throughout the day. Charlie was very happy when I picked her up and she can’t wait to go back at the same time.”
“Jared was exceptional. From the moment we arrived, he was warm and welcoming to my pup, instantly putting us both at ease. Throughout the day, Jared kept me updated with thoughtful messages and photos, which I truly appreciated. His communication was clear and thorough, and he even informed me promptly when my pup had a minor nosebleed. Knowing that Jared has a vet tech background gave me complete peace of mind, and I was confident that my pup was in safe and capable hands. I can't recommend Jared highly enough and am eager to use his services again in the future.”
“We’re so glad we found Kefentse! He was responded quickly to our request and was able to accommodate our needs without a lot of notice. Georgie warmed up to him quickly (she is sometimes anxious with new people and places) and we felt very comfortable leaving her there. He was warm, friendly, and professional. Georgie told us she hopes to visit him again in the future. 🐾 Thanks for taking good care of her so we could enjoy our concert!”
“So thankful to have my pup under Martin’s care for the day. Birdie was comfortable right away & was excited to play with the dogs. I appreciated the check ins, but felt comfortable leaving her right away knowing she would be well cared for. She came home tired and ready for bed! Highly reccomend Martin!”
“Natalie is so great! She’s flexible and communicative and I trust that my dog is getting loved on when I leave him with her. He gets so excited when we get to her house and has so much fun playing with her dog Spooky. I just moved to Portland for a job with chaotic hours and I’m so glad to have found someone I trust to help so that my boy doesn’t have to be left alone. Thank you Natalie 💚💚💚💚💚”
“Scott and his wife is amazing! As first time dog owners, my boyfriend and I were really worried about leaving our dog with a stranger, but Scott and his wife turned out to be one of the best things to happen to our little pup. We rescued Russell, and Scott is going out of his way to help him with his separation anxiety. Also, the best part as a worried mom is all of the updates and photos he sends of your pup throughout the day. I would recommend him to anyone because he lives up to all of his wonderful reviews.”
“Mark was awesome, I had a last minute change and he was able to help me and Buddy out. Great communication and follow up. Buddy had a great time. Clean home, friendly and easy to get to - close to the airport if you're flying. I will definitely use Mark when traveling in the Portland area again.”
“Kaitlin is so great with our golden doodle, Henry! I’ve left him in her care several times and she makes the whole process easy. She’s very responsive, sends updates/pictures, and is super sweet. Definitely trust her with your furry family member!”
“Devin and Sam were so accommodating for my early and late drop off hours. My dog had so much fun and the constant updates of her playing and having fun with the other dogs put my mind at ease.”
“Mindy and Daniel were available on short notice to watch my dog and the process from end to end was pleasant and easy. Appreciate their care.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was five. I got a rescue when I was 18, who I took care of for 12 years up until his recent passing from cancer. I love making all dogs feel loved and safe! I have extensive experience with rescues, seniors, dogs with IVDD, dogs with limited mobility and dogs with medical needs feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with medication management due to my pup suffering from IVDD. I work from home and would be with your pup the entire day. I’m in a gated, leash-only area that makes it safe for your dog to get all of their walking in. I am also walking distance to a pet park and can get all their zoomies out! I know this is your close family member and now that my pup has passed over the rainbow bridge and received all my attention and care, I can be the pet sitter that I always wished I had for your pup! I work from home and walk several miles a day. I’m happy to take your dog on walks to get all of their energy out and can keep them company while they play with all of the toys that I have. I offer a ton of enrichment activities that I have from when my sweet boy was on crate rest. Your dog will certainly never be bored here! If your dog prefers solitude I have a guest bedroom where they can nap, acclimate or take their toys. They will always be under my supervision! I have a balcony that opens into a yard and an extra bedroom. I am walking distance to a pet park, trails and live in a gated area where they are safe from off-leash dogs!
“Did an absolutely amazing job with Gambler. I was very worried about day care because he had never done it but they made him feel loved and he got some playmates which he did great with. I feel 100% better knowing how well they did with him! Will use again”
“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!”
About: I have taken care of many dogs over the last 13 years. I have experience with English Bulldogs as well. I had a rescue bulldog for 9 years. I currently have a French bulldog. I also have experience with senior dogs. I am patient with puppies, my two dogs are only 2 now so I have recent experience tending to little ones. I currently work from home so I am here all day. The dogs are free to roam the house and we have a dog door to our fenced back yard. Dogs are allowed in and out all day if they want and if it is safe for them. They are allowed on the living room furniture. Our backyard is fenced and safe for play.
“Dropped of my 3 year old doodle Monte for dat care with Kate in preparation for when I might need to leave him eith her family overnight. He's a pretty easy going well behaved dog (less the occasional barks for security purposes) so I didn't have many worries about how he'd do. Kate was in good communication with me and very responsive I might add. He even met their cat which was his first experience with one. Kowing that he slept while he was there is a sure sign that he was comfortable and relaxed to do so. I am looking forward to Monte going back to day care and especially when he's going to need to stay overnight. Two paws up from this end.”
“My dog enjoyed his daycare stay at Maggie's! Her house is perfect for dogs who love to jump on the furniture and roam around her large, fully-fenced yard. She was super responsive as well.”
“Madx is amazing and takes great care of my dog, Zoe. Zoe is going to doggie day care at Madx's house two days a week. Madx sends a video and/or pictures to update me on how Zoe is doing. Madx is super friendly, responsive, and has a lot of knowledge about dogs. I am so happy that Zoe and I found Madx!”
