Alexander was great again with our pup, Koa. We've hired Alexander for doggy daycare several times, but this was the first boarding. There was a small mix-up at drop off, but he apologized and worked quickly to rectify the mistake. Koa is an anxious little guy, and Alexander was great with him. He accommodated our needy pup wanting to be glued to him the entire stay. They worked on the computer together, mowed the lawn together, and I'm sure there were countless other hours of lap snuggles. Warms my heart knowing that our little Koa was treated with compassion and support while away from home.

She was so great with our puppy and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter while we were away😁 I appreciated the daily pictures and updates that Cheryl gave as well! It was such a huge stress relief for us to not have to worry about who might be taking care of him, and Cheryl did an amazing job❤️ I would definitely take my fur baby back to her in the future!!

I visited Randy at her home beforehand and immediately felt comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She welcomed us with a very friendly dog, and it was clear right away that she truly loves dogs (and other animals). Her place is wonderful for dogs — spacious, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. Randy is warm, friendly, calm, compassionate, and very accommodating to your needs. I’m sure my dog had a great time with her and made some new dog friends. I would happily leave my dog with her again. I also briefly met her husband, and he seemed very kind and sweet. Thank you, Randy and William, for taking such good care of my dog!

Athena took really good care of our corgi Roxy in her home. She would send pics and videos throughout the day to let us know how happy Roxy was doing activities with Athena and her dog. They all got along so very well. Roxy loved her time with Athena. I hope that Athena will be available to watch Roxy again the next time we need a sitter.

We don’t have much experience with dog sitters but Alayna and her partner Ben made us feel very comfortable leaving our boys with them. Great communication always. Notwithstanding the stress the dog, cat and myself endured with this separation, we are all in good shape. Alayna and Ben are animal lovers and you can rest assured your pets will be well cared for.

Shelby and Jesse's place was like Disneyland for my Minnie - from what I could see in the pictures Shelby sent, Minnie had an absolute blast with their dogs. I think she was a little sad to return home with me! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a homestay option that is both convenient for the owner and fun for the pup :)

About: 20+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs through every stage of life, from energetic puppies to dignified seniors approaching 18 years old. My family and I have successfully raised and cared for dogs of all sizes (small, medium, and large breeds). I understand that each dog is unique and requires tailored care based on their age, size, temperament, and health needs. I work from home full-time and am available throughout the day to give your pet plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I like to take the dogs for daily walks along Beach Rd. Schedule is flexible, but prefer cooler times of day morning/afternoon. My home is shared with three well-socialized dogs (two chihuahua mixes and one larger dog), a friendly outdoor cat who roams our property, and backyard chickens. I have a gated property (not fully fenced, so I supervise outdoor time) with space for dogs to explore safely. Dogs who stay with me will have access to indoor comfort, outdoor supervised play, and structured routines that include regular walks, feeding times, and rest periods.

Aly went above and beyond to make sure my dog was taken care of. My dog has anxiety and Aly kept me in the loop as to how he was doing. She sent photos and was in contact daily with me. I felt assured that Frankie was excellent care. I recommend having her watch your dog!

About: Animal lover for life! Happy to have the chance to provide quality care for your furry friends. I’ve been a dog caretaker since my youth, as well as many years as a cat caretaker, too. I’ve cared for pets through sickness and health and I am qualified to administer medical injections. Being self-employed means I have a flexible schedule for pet care needs. Daily walks are part of the routine. In addition to frequenting local dog parks, I love to hike on nearby trails, such as Powell Butte and Sandy River Delta. I’ve trained several puppies and would be glad to work with you on implementing your training protocols. I have a fully fenced yard for added security during play dates or sleepovers. Looking forward to meeting your animal friends!!
