Dog Boarding in Oregon City

Ranked as a Rover Top 100 Sitter in the US and Canada!! Follow our dog adventures on Facebook at Right at Home Dog Boarding PDX (or /rightathomePDX)!

Your dog will feel right at home here! We have a lot of fun! We go on pack walks, hikes, and head to the off leash dog park to play ball (if you permit) We are very close to Laurelhurst Park, Mt Tabor Park, and we also love Fernhill and 1000 Acres.

When it is hot outside, I have misters set up throughout the yard, sometimes we pull out the kiddie pool, and I have a super powerful air conditioner that keeps the inside of my home quite chilly! When it is cold, we have a woodstove fire and lots of blankets and cozy dog beds.

I am a dog lover that has always had 1-4 dogs in my life at all times, fostered many dogs, and have also worked with dogs that needed special attention from Family Dogs New Life Shelter and Fences for Fido . I love dogs with all my heart, and their comfort comes first. I work for myself and watch dogs full-time. I have large crates if needed/requested, and I am familiar with dogs with special needs. 24/7 care is possible if requested as well. I have two dogs that make great playmates, yet at the same time, if your dog is a king or queen and likes to be an only child, I have the ability to keep your dog separate, comfortable and at peace. I own my own home, have lots of dog beds everywhere, and dogs are always allowed inside at all times!! I will also text you daily with photo updates of our adventures!

I have a 4 PM or later drop off (4-7 PM) and a 10 AM or earlier pick up (8-10 AM), or else doggy day care ($29) applies for one or both ($29 x 2) respective start/end days (in cases off added daycare, you can drop off between 8 and 10 AM and/or pick up between 4 and 7 PM). If you need a drop off or pick up before 8 AM, or a drop off or pick up later than 7 PM, I request that you just leave your dog for an additional night of boarding. In a complete and total bind, I will allow drop offs or pick ups past 7 PM or before 8 AM, but it is $15 for every hour or increment thereof. I don't do midday pick ups and drop offs, especially on the weekend, because we are out on dog walks/adventures. All pick ups and drop offs need to be scheduled between my time frames, preferably on the half hour. This allows me to give each dog the time they need to integrate into the home.

* Pickup/Drop Off rates are $20 for under 5 miles, out and back in one trip ie: if you live 7 miles from me, drop off or pick up will be $24 (2 extra miles each way = 4 extra miles x $1/mile= +$4. If you live anything under 5 miles away, it will be a flat fee of $20

**Any trips to the pet food store (if your pet runs out of food), trips to the vet for vaccinations or pre-existing conditions, or other errands for your pet are billed at $35/hour + $1/mile.

*** Even if I am marked BOOKED on the calendar, please don't hesitate to contact me via a general inquiry or a custom quote, especially if your dog is small. It means there will be at least a few dogs here boarding - if your dog is mellow and gets along with all dogs, it will most likely be no problem. We have more than enough room and people to keep a watchful eye!! I only accept one new dog during any particular block of time, the rest are all repeat clients. Send your general inquiry now!

****Dogs over 80 lbs are $60 per night. Please provide all details and send a general inquiry. Dogs must have good leash walking skills and training. Currently I only accept dogs over 80 pounds on a case-by-case basis.

*****Puppies 1 year old and younger are $75 per night. If your puppy is 6 months to 1 year, and you believe your dog is mature for it's age, you can leave your dog for a day of daycare or a night of boarding to be assessed. If they pass the criteria, (ie: have some obedience training, are potty trained, no longer chew everything indiscriminately, are independent, and are kennel trained), the rate will be $60 for future stays until they turn 1 year. Dogs that are geriatric and have a lot of medical issues, medications and/or incontinence will also be charged at the puppy rate of $75 per night . Daycare is $29 when attached to a boarding stay. Standalone daycare is $45.

****** I accept unspayed and unneutered puppies under 6 months. BUT if your dog is over 6 months and unspayed or unneutered, it is $75/night (same as my puppy rate) and you MUST indicate this to me verbally at the time of booking. I only accept unaltered dogs of any age on a case by case basis, depending on the other dogs I will have here at the time. All dogs must also be up-to-date on all vaccinations (Rabies, DHLPP, and Bordatella), and have proof of flea preventative. All owners must also fill out an 4 page intake form.

Late pickups (after a 30 min grace period) incur a $15/hour fee in addition to regular daycare charges.

My holiday boarding rate is $50/night. I have a two night minimum over holiday periods (see the Rover calendar for more information regarding holiday periods).

ALL DOGS MUST BE KENNEL TRAINED. I do not leave dogs in kennels often or for long periods ever, however, if I do have to leave the home to walk other dogs, or for a quick errand, I do separate dogs and kennel them. I also feed dogs in kennels to ensure that dogs eat their own food and ONLY their own food.

I DO NOT accept dogs with excessive barking issues, severe separation anxiety, strong dominance issues, or even the slightest bit of aggression towards humans or other dogs. YOU MUST DISCLOSE IF YOUR DOG(S) HAVE ANY OF THESE ISSUES. IF YOUR DOG EXHIBITS ANY OF THESE BEHAVIORS, I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO IMMEDIATELY TERMINATE THE STAY AND YOU WILL BE CHARGED $150 PER DAY UNTIL THE DOG IS PICKED UP BY YOU, YOUR EMERGENCY CONTACT, OR ANOTHER SITTER ARRANGED BY ROVER.

I have worked as a foster for Fences For Fido, Hopes Haven, and Family Dogs New Life Shelter. I have been pet sitting full time for 7+ years. I have owned and taken care of dogs for 30+ years.

Why I love dog sitting

I have cared for and fostered dogs for the last 30 years. I have always had 1-4 dogs in my life at all times. I grew up with dogs and was taught responsibility through the caretaking of dogs. Dogs bring me a lot of joy and happiness and I love how each dog is an individual with a unique personality. I could not imagine my life without dogs involved. Bonding with dogs is very rewarding.

About my yard

I have a medium sized yard that is fenced in with a brand new 6 ft tall solid cedar fence. Buried around the whole perimeter of the yard is chicken wire so dogs cannot dig out. All gates are doubled and locked. Around the perimeter of the yard is a dog run with cedar chips and misters for the summer. I clean up the dog run multiple times daily. We go on a pack walk in the AM and a pack walk in the PM. In the summer, dogs will play like they are in a mini doggy daycare, lounge around in the yard, and on the back deck basking in the sun and soaking up the rays :)

My experience administering medication

I can administer medicine orally, nasally, or intramuscularly.

During this time of social distancing and possible quarantine I am taking small dogs on a last minute basis...but without meet & greets. We can do a virtual meet & greet on the phone. :)

I specialize in small breed dogs (1-year-old and older). Special needs & geriatric are welcome. I don't walk dogs off my property, for safety's sake, but they have free reign in the backyard as many times a day as they like.

Now retired, I enjoy being with the dogs 24/7, except to get groceries or occasionally go to the gym for an hour or so.

I am as loving and indulgent as only a favorite Aunt or Grandma can be. Naughtiness and 'accidents' do not freak me out. Lap lounging is encouraged and welcome. Lots of snuggling and cuddling for every dog, every day.

Fenced backyard is safe and secure. I will send you texts or email messages with pics daily. Dog-friendly floors and furniture, and smoke-free environment. Dogs are fed separately from each other, so nobody gets anyone else's food.

I look forward to having your dog(s) come stay with me!

About this sitter:

I love having dogs around me...they are the best companions. It is so much fun having my dog visitors and I feel great about providing a home setting for people who worry about their dogs being unhappy while they are traveling. I have not had any dogs display separation anxiety during their stay. They all respond to the comfort, safety, and affection of a home stay.

Why I love dog sitting

I have loved dogs all my life. I've always had dogs at home and dogs seem to like me too.

About my yard

Small fenced back yard, secure.

My experience administering medication

I am used to giving pills, drops, ointments. But not injections. I also know how to help a dog if they have a seizure.

Dog family home near the Tualatin river on a large green acre with a fenced doggy play area. We have horses, cows, goats, chickens, and even a donkey in the neighborhood. It's farm life close to the city. The house is one story with lots of room to hang out, nap, and play with toys. The house has central air for heating and cooling, and the floors are a wood vinyl. We do pet services full time with boarding and daycare services 7 days a week. Most days we have small groups of pups, with an established pack of awesome pups and clients. Our dog Rocky is the host with the most, and loves being the regal leader of his pack. We encourage you to schedule a free meet and greet to come check us out.

Hello, my name is Sandy and I live with my little dog Yoda. I fell in love with the little guy several years back working as a volunteer at the Oregon Humane Society. He was a bit of a rascal, since he spent the better part of five years fending for himself on the streets of LA. It took a lot of patience, perseverance and love to get the little guy to trust me and to be the upstanding dog he is today.

After more than a twenty-five year career in the hospitality industry I recently decided to embark on a new adventure and work online from home. While, Yoda and I have a grand time together here at home we both thought it would be fun to meet new friends and host some sleepovers with other pups in the city.

As a frequent traveler myself, I know how comforting it is to have a safe and loving home for your dog to stay. Your dog will be treated as a part of our family and be surrounded with love and affection.

Our home is ten minutes from the Portland International Airport so it easy for anyone who is getting ready to fly out.

We moved to Sherwood!!

We love dogs! Lacey is a lifelong animal lover who is home to care for the dogs full time and will be your main point of contact. Joe often works from his home office and loves to play with the different pups in our care. Joe’s mom Jenine lives with us and loves snuggling with the dogs on the couch. Sherwood Dog Boarding is a place for mellow dogs who like bursts of play with other dogs or who just like to lounge in the sunshine. Your dog will be as well cared for in our home as he'd be in yours, and we will send you updates as often as you'd like. All of our fur friends receive a lot of one on one attention with individual walks around the neighborhood and plenty of cuddle time. Our house has a fenced yard, and the dogs have plenty of room to play inside as well. Our mission is to build lasting relationships with repeated guests, and our regular clients say that their dogs are always excited to come over.

Owner works from home and is able to provide your pet with more attention and potty breaks to align with their normal schedule. However if you want me to come in and just feed your pet and not spend time playing with them, I am the wrong sitter! I have had dogs since I was young and my wife and I need to fill our temporary dog love void! We can develop a plan that works for you and your dog to ensure they have the best time possible!

Why I love dog sitting

I have had dogs since I was born and have had them on and off over the years. We unfortunately do not have a dog right now so we are looking to care for them for their owners.

About my yard

We do not have a backyard but rather a very large deck where we can take the dog and stay with them as they get some fresh air.

My experience administering medication

I am very comfortable administering medication having done it many times.

About Us

We're a couple living in Tigard with a large, lush green yard that is enclosed by tall trees. Considering our family had two dogs growing up, we love the company of dogs and the joy they bring into our home.

We are both working professionals with a standard M-F work schedule. Your pups are welcome to stay as long as they're obedient, house trained, and accustomed to being home while you're away at work.

Your Dog

Any sized dogs are welcome. We even have experience with older pets who require special attention and medication.

Our Neighborhood

In addition to our large backyard, the big parks of Fowler Middle School, Fanno Creek, and Summer Lake are all within a short walking distance from our home. We frequently go for runs or walks outdoors and would love to take your pups with us.

Our Schedule

During the weekdays, we would walk your pups before work (7-8am), during lunch (12-1), and after work (6-7). We are very flexible on the weekends and have more time to take them on longer runs and walks if they enjoy it.

We look forward to meeting you and your pet!

SW Portland near Lake Oswego and Tigard, our home is around 3200 square feet including 800 square foot indoor play area, backing up on Tryon Creek State Park. My husband, Alan and I take care of the dogs. We can also care for special needs dogs that need medication, potty pads and special diet. Safe, stimulating, supervised care for nice, non-aggressive small to medium size dogs. We have a large 1/3 acre fenced in area for the dogs to play and hiking trails out back. I work out of our home as a photographer so someone is always here for the dogs. Dogs can be boarded overnight or just during the day. I like to work on behavior training and tricks for treats for our campers, sometimes they learn something new. Their owners say they get excited a couple blocks away as they arrive and they want to come in and join in on the fun.

All dogs mush have a form of flea protection on them and a copy of current veterinarian vaccination records.

Small to Medium dogs: $40 per night $25 daycare

Dogs 50 - 80 lbs: $45 per night $30 daycare

Dogs play in our secure yard. Long walks are available at an additional charge.

About this sitter:

I have been caring for dogs and other pets for years, I am responsible and detail oriented.

Why I love dog sitting

I have loved to care for all sorts of animals all my life. When I was a kid my neighbor taught me how to groom and show dogs. I loved spending hours brushing and showing the Bichon's and Poodles in the competitions. I have had a dog or two my whole life. I have also had tropical fish, birds and hamsters.

Meet my pets

We just adopted a little rescue, Kodi, to share with my 92 year old Mom. He lives at both houses. We are Aunt Sue and Uncle Alan to your dogs!

About my yard

I have 1/2 acre fully and securely fenced in for the dogs, with a double entrance gate that is kept locked. We have over 1 1/2 acres total property. The dogs can run and play on the lawn and around the bushes and trees, they also have access to a secure deck. I love to garden and spend lots of time outside with the dogs.

We love the fresh air and exercise in a natural setting, so dog walking is a big part of our day! We live in a quiet, residential neighborhood surrounded by parks, school fields, and nature trails, so your dog will enjoy exploring and the adventure of a hike while being safely on lead in a people/dog friendly environment. Often there will be more than one dog per stay (but no more than three in order to maintain a home atmosphere) so chances are your dog will have a new friend to meet and socialize with. Also, with 24 hour supervision, you can trust that your pooch will be safe and well attended. (I also have the help of a very responsible, 19 year old son, who is a dog lover too. He especially enjoys playing a good game of fetch, or taking those high energy types on the necessary extended walks.) Treats, belly rubs, under the chin scratches, and behind the ear tickles are on the agenda, along with snoozing on the couch (if OK with parents) and curling up in a lap. A typical day usually entails a morning and later afternoon walk, about 1/2 hour each. Depending on the needs of the dog, this can be adjusted. I try to match the dog's normal routine in order to provide continuity. If your dog needs their own space, that's OK too as I incorporate the convenience and security of safety gates. This allows the dog to still be part of the group, yet in their own area. When bringing your dog for a stay, feel free to include items from home that will help him or her feel comfortable and welcome. Regular check in's with you, (including photos!) particularly before the end of the first evening, are provided. This let's you know all is well with your pup throughout the duration of the stay. So, in a home environment, with plenty of nature walks, treats and tickles, new friends and a responsible, experienced provider, (me!) you can be confident that your pooch is safe, happy, and well cared for.

For an alternative to boarding, I also offer traveling care. This is the same excellent care but offered in the comfort and convenience of your own home. If bringing your best buddy to our home is not possible, and the commute is within reason (I have a 4 mile travel radius), this is a popular option. With numerous traveling stays successfully completed throughout my 7 years of professional dog (and cat!) care, along with over 100, 5 star reviews and recommendations, you can be sure that your home and pets will be very well cared for. Finally, additional services include: Daycare, drop-ins w/walks, extended stays (with discounts), senior and puppy care, special needs (administering medications, etc.,), and basic training. Sorry, no aggressive dogs.

I have been caring professionally for dogs 7+ years. I have always loved animals, (particularly dogs!) along with spending much of my time in nature (hiking through forest trails a favorite!). I come from a multi-generation, animal loving (particularly dogs!) family, so I grew up with always having at least one dog (usually more!) at my side. Observing my mother successfully practice and complete several basic dog training courses as she worked with our dogs, I was able to add knowledge in this area. Also, as as an avid reader, I keep up with the latest information about dogs and their care.

I believe in taking good care of animals and that means finding out what their needs are and meeting them successfully. It is a symbiotic relationship that I am always learning from and enjoying. A key to both our health and happiness is plenty of exercise in natural settings, so I adhere to this belief and practice. My motto is safety first, along with always treating the animal with care, compassion, and respect.

On a final note, over the years we have established many "return friends" who have become part of our extended family and have taken up permanent residence in our hearts. Yet at the same time we love meeting new friends.
