Doggy Day Care in Odell

About: I've had dogs my whole life and have been the go-to dog sitter for friends and family for the last 15 years. Whether it's energetic puppies or mellow seniors, I know how to tune in to each dog’s unique needs and make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home—even when you're away. We live on over 6 acres of land with a full acre securely fenced in, so your dog will have plenty of room to run, sniff, and explore safely. When your dog stays with me, they’ll get more than just walks and meals—they’ll get affection, playtime, and a calm, dependable environment. I treat every pet like family and I’m happy to follow your specific routines, preferences, and training methods to keep things consistent for your pup. Whether it’s daily updates, photo check-ins, or managing special needs, I’ve got you covered. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m available to care for pets seven days a week. Your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day, and I’m always nearby for walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I have a three year old Chessie who loves new friends. I adjust each stay to fit your dog’s personality and needs, and I’m happy to follow any specific routines, including medications or crate training.

“Rick and Lea were wonderful babysitters for our boy, Charlie. He was so happy with his stay. They sent tons of pictures while we enjoyed snowboarding Mt Hood. They are both very thoughtful and thorough for the safety and well being of Charlie. We appreciated how flexible they were on our schedule. Great communication as well. Couldn’t have found anyone better to spend time with Charlie! Thanks Rick and Lea… and Louise of course!”

“Loki had a nice relaxed time hanging out with Laura for the day while we were out and about seeing some sights around Hood River. Got a couple of fun pics of Loki throughout her stay, and Laura helped her feel like part of the family while there. Thanks, Laura, for taking such good care of my little old lady!”

“Rebecca responded quickly to all of our questions and was patient. We had never put our dog Izzie in a kennel before. The photos of their facilities gave a good sense of what the dogs were provided with inside and outside, and photos of Izzie Rebecca sent to us on the days Rebecca was caring for Izzie were fun and reassuring. Lastly, their roaming farm animals were a delight. We will kennel our dog with Rebecca whenever we are in this part of the Columbia Gorge.”

“I dropped off my greyhound at her house on the way to a Willamette Valley tour. She took very good care of him and sent me some pics of him chilling on the couch. Very professional, would def use again if I'm in the area.”

“Our pup had an awesome stay with Aya! He went on errands and even was treated to a special trip to a local boutique pet shop for treats. He was very relaxed when we picked him up, so we know he had a great day. Aya took great care of him and we definitely recommend her services!”

“They were fantastic. Not from the area so it was nice to find someone for one day. We plan to be back to the area and will definitely make Adam and Bernardo are available! So sweet with our Maggie”

“Ashley and her husband watched Juniper on their awesome property in the gorge for me all day. Juniper had a great time walking with them off leash and even having a playdate with a neighbor dog. Thank you!”

About: Note— I return to college on the 22nd of August, and will not be available in the Gorge after that. Hi there! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’ve cared for animals my whole life, and grew up with two dogs (Jack and Ozzy), in addition to chickens and rabbits. Most recently, I cared for a friends two labradors for a two months. I’m quick to learn specific care routines, and I’m attentive to changes in behavior or health—your pet’s comfort and safety are always my priority. Whether your animal is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll treat them like my own. I am currently home from college for the summer, and working only sporadically from home. This means that your furry friend will be my first priority! I have a fenced yard one acre yard, and one friendly dog that is crate trained. I can easily crate your dog in my home too. If I am carrying for a dog in your home, I am available throughout the day to stop by and let the dog out, walk them, or to just hang out.

“Great communication, personable, and great with our Dave pup. She had a playmate that fit his energy well and was able to exercise him on a very rainy day in her basement. He came back happy and tired! She also did drop off and pick up, right to the hotel, which was really helpful for us.”

“Charlie was great! I felt calm, and comfortable leaving my Millie , for the first time ever, in his care. He sent the best video of her having a blast running and playing. Highly recommend Charlie!!!! Can’t thank him enough!”

About: I am an absolute dog lover. I have had dogs my entire life and rarely meet a dog I don't connect with. I have trained all of my puppies and know the proper way to take care of dogs and keep them safe. I will take care of your dog as I would my own with love and care. I have an 8 month old mixed Goldendoodle. I will do the things your dog is used to doing whether it be long walks, playing ball or frisbee or just hanging out and cuddling. I will send you lots of pictures and keep you updated on the fun we are having. I will be home during his/her stay and will be able to watch him/her at all times. My husband is home as well. We will adapt to your pets schedule. I will walk on a leash. They also need to be able to go to the bathroom on leash. We will be able to watch your pet full time. He/she will not be alone. I will be home full time with your pet during his/her stay with me. My husband also loves dog and is home the majority of the time as well so we can give your pet all the attention he/she can stand. We live on a golf course so we will walk your dog on a leash at all times. If they are not used to going potty on a leash I can use a long 6 foot lead to give him/her some space. After discovering your pet's habits, I will happily stick to his/her routine. We have beds and a crate but our pet's are allowed on our couch and bed. If you prefer they stay off the furniture, it's no an issue. I will provide a sleeping arrangement to make you pet the most comfortable.

“Mackenzie was fantastic with our Moseley and Mochi was such a fun new friend! The pups were fast friends and had a great time together. So happy to have Makenzie in the Gorge for pup playdates that allow us some time to do things where our pooch cannot join us, all while knowing she is having as much fun as we are!”

“Allie is really sweet! She was available to get my dog in pretty short-notice, walked her for a bit, and gave her playtime with her own pups :) appreciated her taking my dog for the morning!”

Madilyn B.

“Sam has a great property for dog sitting, fully fenced in with indoor AC available. My two dogs fully enjoyed their stay, helping with the garden and playing with her adorable pup. I would highly recommend Sam as a pet sitter. 15/10 experience!”

“Prudence and her dog did such a great job with our German Short-haired Pointer! She is clearly a gifted and experienced dog sitter and kept up with our pup's energy but also got her to relax on our dog's first doggy day care visit. 10/10 recommend Prudence!”

“Took great care of our girl!”
