Dog Boarding in Minerva, OR

“DeAnna is very caring, sensitive and an excellent dog sitter! She went above and beyond while taking care of our labradoodle for 10 days with lots of personalized attention and love. Our fur baby thoroughly enjoyed her vacation too!”

“We needed a place for our dog to stay while we took a charter fishing trip out of Florence, OR. Rene’ kept him overnight and gave him one on one attention all day while we fished. We had peace of mind knowing that our dog was in good hands. When we picked him up we could tell he had been well taken care of.”

About: We have been caring for our pets, as well as for friends and family for a collective of approximately 45 years. We are familiar with administering medications, senior needs, as well as pets with certain medical issues such as seizures. We treat each guest as a family member and they are given the freedom to roam all around the house and spend time with us on or off the furniture. We are retired. We have been caring for our Beloved Dexter for the passed 13.5 years until his passing in February 2026. We find it difficult to find good pet care in our area, and wanted to provide this service to our community now that we no longer have Dexter. We have the love, the time and the safe environment to give to you and your pet-Whether Cats or Dogs. We do not have a fenced yard. However, we never needed a fence as we always took Dexter out when he needed to go. (On Leash) So doing this for your pet is no problem for us, and its gets all of us off of the couch and moving. Win win. In our home, well, your pet will be free to roam all around, sleep in his bed, or ours, and make him or herself at home.

“We so appreciated the loving care that was given to Buddy while we were gone. He got lots of attention and became everyone's best buddy. We highly recommend Joseph and Renee for your dogs temporary home away from home.”

About: I’m a passionate and reliable pet sitter with a genuine love for animals of all shapes and sizes. With 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and even small animals, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I prioritize safety, comfort, and companionship, making sure your pet feels loved and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just providing company, I tailor my care to fit each pet’s unique needs and personality. I’m punctual, trustworthy, have a reliable car and fully committed to giving your furry family member the best care possible. Hi! I’m a cheerful, outdoors-loving pet sitter with plenty of time and flexibility to care for your furry friends. I run a small antique shop just a few hours a day, which leaves me lots of free time to enjoy the outdoors—and even more time to spend with pets! Whether it’s going for walks, playing outside, or just giving your pet some extra love and attention, I’m here to help. I’m reliable, friendly, and treat every pet like family. If you’re looking for someone caring, responsible, and full of good energy—I’m your person! With a flexible schedule (I only open my antique store 4 hours a day), I have plenty of time to focus on your pet’s needs. I’m cheerful, tidy, respectful of your space, and committed to making both you and your pet feel at ease. Whether it’s feeding, walks, cuddles, or just companionship, I’m here to help—like a trusted friend for your pet when you can’t be home.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for over 30 years, and caring for them has become my lifelong passion. For the past five years, I’ve run my own professional pet-care business, building long-term relationships with clients who value trust, reliability, and genuine love for their pets. At Gentle Paws Home Care, I provide a calm, nurturing environment where dogs can feel safe, relaxed, and at home. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, they’ll enjoy gentle routines, quiet walks, soft places to rest, and plenty of affection. For dogs who need a little more activity, I also offer my signature adventure walks—hour-and-a-half off-leash excursions that let your pup explore, play, and connect with nature in a balanced, mindful way. My references reflect the consistency, compassion, and professionalism I bring to every animal I care for. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. With over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, I’ve learned how to make them feel safe, loved, and understood. To me, dogs aren’t just pets — they’re people with their own unique personalities, and I take pride in giving them the care and attention they deserve. I run volunteer groups at Zumwalt park and take a lot of pride in our doggy community there. In my home, pets are truly part of the family. I’m with them the entire time, so they’re never left feeling lonely. I have plenty of cozy dog beds throughout the house, and if your pup prefers, they’re always welcome to snuggle up in my bed at night. We enjoy two large walks a day (and often a third smaller evening stroll), along with snacks, games, and fun activities to keep them happy and engaged. When I provide care in a client’s home, I do my best to stick closely to the routine and schedule you’ve set. I know how important consistency is, so I keep things as normal and comfortable as possible while making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and cared for every step of the way.

About: Hi! You can call me Bee, and my whole life I have been passionate about animals of all shapes and sizes. In my youth I helped my Mom with overnight pet sitting. As an adult I spent 2 years in management with Petco where I was intimately involved in all the areas of animal care including administering medication and dog bathing. Additionally, I have many years of experience with caring for my own pets as well as helping my friends and family with their pets. I work as an independent contractor and can adjust my schedule around all of your pet's needs. I value making your pet feel at home and loved during their entire stay. My family lives in an adorable farmhouse and we would love to have your fur baby come stay with us for a unique experience enjoying the natural environment we have available right outside our doorstep. Your loved one will be treated as one of our own alongside my 12 year old cat, 8 month old kitten, and a 3 year old Iguana (who has his own enclosure). Your pet will also enjoy the smells of farm animals that stay on the property, including sheep and horses. You can trust that your pet will have all of their needs met no matter how much or how little adventure they can handle while staying with us. Dedicated areas can be blocked or fenced of to accommodate all of your pets needs depending on their level of socialization. Private one on one time including bathing and walks can be arranged or play with friendly neighbor dogs who frequent the property can be arranged as well if that is something your pet would benefit from. We maintain a clean and calm environment inside of our home with a warm wood stove they can lay by and large windows they can watch the various wildlife from; again providing as much or as little socialization as they need. If I will be visiting your home for walks or overnight sitting I would spend some time observing their behaviors and understanding their areas and what they like. In any situation your pet will recieve all of the love and belly rubs they want and need. We can't wait to meet you!

“Karina and her husband take great care of my pup Bentley. This is the 2nd time they boarded Bentley for a few days and he always comes home happy. Bentley has severe separation anxiety but he does great per reports. Karina is great at staying in touch and sending pictures to me, so I know he is receiving great care.”
