Trusted Dog Boarding in NE PDX

I'm Christine, a dog lover with over 20+ years of pet care experience. I even had a stint as a dog walker when I lived in San Francisco years ago (favorite job ever)! I work from home, and with that flexibility, I have the opportunity to give your pet all day love and care. My husband Steve and I just recently had to say goodbye to our soul dog, Paxton (the most amazing French Bulldog in all of the world), and now we have availability to help others out when they're away on vacation or traveling for business. We know first hand how difficult it is to find trusted pet care in Portland, and we're happy to open our doors and hearts to ensure you can travel without worry! We specialize in small to medium dogs and have all of the bells and whistles you can imagine to ensure your dog has a fun and safe stay with us (dog beds, cooling mats, crates when needed, leashes, toys, and more). We also specialize in administering medications and dealing with dogs that have mobility issues (we've got a dog stroller, raised food bowls, harnesses etc). Our house has plenty of space, and we also have a nice big, fenced yard for your pup to play in!

This is the second time Christine and Steven have watched our two small dogs and we couldn’t be happier. Leaving your dogs can be very stressful but Christine and Steven made it obvious that they were being cared for the whole time. We will definitely use them again in the future.

Christine and Steven were great hosts to our two small dogs. They provided lots of updates and have a beautiful house to host pets. We will definitely use them in the future.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pup will get to hang out with me all day while I'm working, and after 2pm every weekday will have 100% of my focus. We have a large, fenced in backyard as well as a beautiful park just a few blocks away.

A typical day

Walk, fetch, play - whatever your dog is in to! I also love to take pet portraits and happy to send you all of the photos I take of your pup so you know he/she is having a great time!

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, and I will happily accommodate where possible. Also, if you have specific preferences about where your dog sleeps, or specific feeding schedules, do let me know. It's also helpful to know whether your dog safely interacts with other humans and dogs. We will never have a more than a max of three dogs at once (including your dog).
