Doggy Day Care Kenton

“Lajetta was a great dog sitter for our doodles! She kept us updated throughout the day with pictures & we could tell the doodles were being loved, cared for & comfortable.”

“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.

“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.

“Alex is Winston’s new bestie! Winston spent the day with Alex for daycare, and had the best time! She is so sweet, has such a peaceful, patience presence, and was so great with him. Her house and yard are a fabulous space for our buddies to hang and explore, and she was so communicative throughout the day. I highly recommend Alex and we will definitely be booking more of her time in the future! Thank you so much Alex!”

“Peter took my puppy on more walks than he gets at home! He came home tired, which is hard to do with this fella. I appreciated the generous care he offered my puppy.”

Sara G.

“Tyson had the best day! Heath is kind, friendly and natural with dogs. They were very easy to schedule with and great communication. Tyson can’t wait to come back.”

Dina S.

“Annika and John were great with our pup. Their sweet dog Pepper was the perfect playmate too. No issues and quick responses. We’d definitely book with them again!”

About: I adore all animals, available for drop-ins, walks, and puppy play dates with my dog. I’m currently self-training a wonderful psychiatric service dog, Sobek (still in training). Together we have taken a large number of classes, passed the CGC, volunteered with Oregon Humane Training, canine PT, and had a whole lot of fun along the way. I am familiar with positive reenforcement, force free, settle training, crate training, socialization, clicker training, agility and capturing calm behaviors. I have experience with animals who have mild to moderate mobility issues, puppies, senior and special needs, safe stretching/activity monitoring, and reactive body language. *I am not a certified trainer* but I hope to be one day. I’m happy to answer any questions or assist you on your journey, teach your dog a thing or two, or point you to my many trusted local resources. Inclusivity, flexibility, and honesty are some of my main core values. I am honest about my availability, knowledge and conduct. I’m also a former pro photographer and bound to take many cute photos. They/them, queer/trans affirming. I work from home so I am flexible depending on my meetings. I am available late afternoons and evenings unless otherwise noted in my schedule. I’m fairly organized and pet-proof my own home. I always treat other’s homes as if they were my own, meaning I pack out what I pack in and respect the boundaries of humans and pets who live there.

“Took great care of Spike and showed him a good time! Kate took him to the dog park (his favorite place) and got him some treats at the local pet store (his second favorite place)”

“Kiko and Buddy has a great time at Shadie’s day care while I had my floors redone at my house. On the last day Buddy didn’t even want to come home!”

About: (Please read my whole profile to make sure we are a good match! If you decide to request a booking, please provide the requested information about your dog, either on your Rover site or in your inquiry. Note: I provide the walk-only service exclusively in the Kenton neighborhood. Thank you!) I have owned dogs most of my life and spent my adolescence on a small family farm. I love dogsitting and live really near North Portland VCA should there ever be an emergency. If your dog is a good leash walker, they'll get at least two walks per day; otherwise, we'll see how it goes! There is opportunity for backyard play, but I depend on walking to ensure dogs get the movement they need. There are no pets in my house at this time, so as long as your dog gets along with people, the relationships should be OK! No chewers, please; I do not close crate doors. I am a retired teacher, so I am mostly home but do go out for a variety of reasons during the day or evening sometimes. I have a fenced yard and spend lots of time in it with dogs during decent weather. If your very big dog is non-reactive, I would love to host your very big dog. 🐶 (I do not board puppies but do walk puppies. Just please do not ask me to close the door on a crate.) Please ensure your dog is flea-free.

About: Hi, I’m Kenah. I provide dependable pet care for families who want someone calm, responsible, and attentive caring for their pets and their home. My background includes years of caregiving, direct support, healthcare operations, and compliance work, so I am very comfortable following detailed instructions, respecting home routines, documenting important updates, and noticing when something seems off. I know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home or care for a pet you love, and I take that responsibility seriously. During each visit, I focus on keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I am happy to help with feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, litter box care, playtime, basic cleanup, and photo updates. I also make sure doors are locked, instructions are followed, and you receive clear communication so you are not left wondering how your pet is doing. I especially enjoy working with pets who do best with a steady, patient person. Whether your pet is social and playful or shy and slow to warm up, I will follow your lead and care for them in the way that works best for their personality. My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to work around each pet’s normal routine. I am available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting depending on the day, time, and location. I prefer to plan ahead when possible so I can give each pet the right amount of time and attention, but I may also be able to help with shorter-notice requests when my schedule allows. I take safety and trust very seriously, whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have a small, calm home environment with a large, fully fenced yard, which gives dogs space to get fresh air, play, and take potty breaks safely. I always supervise outdoor time and make sure gates and doors are secure.

“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.”

“Evita was incredible! She watched Miso while I had a 12hr shift at work, and was extremely accommodating with drop off and pick up time. She sent lots of updates and was very understanding when my nervous dog wouldn’t stop barking in the morning. 10/10 would recommend!!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, birds, fish and rodents and have taken care of them my whole life- training, washing, walking, playing, etc. I have booked many clients with Rover and feel very confident in my ability to gain trust from both humans and animals. I love animals with my whole heart and would love to help take care of yours! My schedule is currently open, so I can provide pet care mornings, afternoons, evenings, or weekends as needed. I’m reliable and adaptable, and I’m happy to coordinate with pet owners to meet their pets’ routines. If my schedule changes due to gaining a part-time job, I’ll update availability promptly. I would love to be an additional help to anyone in need of pet care 🐶🐱 I provide drop-in care, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and enrichment for dogs, cats, and other pets. I focus on building trust and keeping pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for, while tailoring my approach to each pet’s needs and personality. Whether it’s a quick visit or a longer check-in, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and supported.

“Michelle was great and super responsive. I'm traveling so figuring things out while I'm here and she was able to work with my variable schedule easily. She communicated throughout the day and sent great photos of Tulip. Her home is a calm oasis with a beautiful yard so I knew they would be set up for success together.”

Aidan K.

“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 ❤️❤️”

Carla C.

“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!”
