A Home Away From Home
Pet care experience
Welcome to Gratefull Gardens, our peaceful 25-acre organic farm nestled in the scenic Amity countryside, conveniently located between Salem and McMinnville, Oregon. Here, your beloved canine companion will experience the perfect blend of freedom, safety, and attentive care while you’re away. We work from home managing our organic farming business, allowing us to provide your dog with constant companionship, regular bathroom breaks, and plenty of space to explore and play. Our sprawling property sits a quarter mile from the main road and is entirely fenced, creating a secure sanctuary where your dog can enjoy farm life without worry. Your dog’s safety is our absolute priority. Our property features multiple secure, fenced yard areas that allow us to keep dogs safely separated when not under direct supervision. We understand that each dog has unique needs and temperaments - whether your furry friend prefers solo time or enjoys socializing, we can accommodate them perfectly. We always feed dogs separately to prevent any mealtime tensions, and our structured environment ensures peace of mind for both you and your pet. Dogs staying with us enjoy all-day playtime in various settings across our farm. The highlight is our “personal dog park” - a completely fenced 3-acre playground where dogs can run off-leash several times daily. This special area features rolling hills that provide natural exercise as dogs bound up and down the slopes. For comfort and safety, we provide climate-controlled indoor spaces where your dog can sleep, eat, and retreat from unfavorable weather conditions. This ensures your pet remains comfortable regardless of Oregon’s sometimes unpredictable weather patterns. Our resident dog Layla is exceptionally friendly and adaptable. She loves playing with other dogs but is equally content doing her own thing if your dog prefers space. We’re experienced in caring for dogs with special needs, senior dogs, and those with anxiety. Whether your dog requires medication, follows a specialized diet including raw food, or simply needs extra patience and understanding, we’re fully prepared to meet their needs. We’ll keep you connected to your furry family member by sending regular updates and photos throughout their stay. We invite you to consider our farm for your dog’s next vacation. They’ll return to you happy, exercised, and eager to tell you about their adventures in Oregon wine country! Thanks, and have a grateful day!
Reviews

They were so incredibly responsive with our last-minute boarding need our great Pyrenees. Their place is super cute and our dog came home very happy. I would highly recommend grateful garden’s bed and biscuit. We will be using them again.

We couldn’t be happier about our dog, Tucker’s stay with John and Tawna! They have a wonderful country space and don’t take a lot of dogs at the same time. They kept us up to date on Tucker with photos, videos and notes! He was happy to see us but was also very attentive to John when we went to pick him up. We could tell he was very comfortable there and John is a very personable caring guy in regards to their furry guests! Definitely will use again.

Our pup really enjoyed his time at the Bed and Biscuit! It really is a fun place for dogs, lots of open areas to run and new friends to play with. They seemed careful with introducing him to the other dogs, which made me feel very at ease. They sent us pictures and an update, so we knew he was doing good. I’m glad we found such a fun place for our dog when we can’t take him on our adventures!
