Dog Boarding in Portland

“We feel like our pup is staying with his extended family when he’s with Marna. He pushes right into her house and doesn’t give us another thought, he’s so happy there. ❤️”

“I can't recommend Elisabeth highly enough! She took such wonderful care of our dog, Ollie, and it was clear from the start how much love and attention she gave him. Every day, she sent multiple high-quality photos and detailed updates that showed just how happy and comfortable he was in her care. She went above and beyond by dressing the dogs in warm outfits and taking them on engaging walks, keeping Ollie active and entertained. Not only did she keep him well-exercised, but she also worked on teaching him commands! It is obvious how much she cares about providing a safe, loving, and enriching environment for the dogs. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I’m so grateful for the peace of mind she gave us while we were away for the holidays. Thank you for watching Ollie!”

“We left our four year-old cocker spaniel named Charlie with Kelly for four days. We never felt out of touch with him because Kelly gave us daily updates with pictures. Charlie was immediately comfortable with her in his new surroundings. He had lots of exercise time and came home very happy! Highly recommend!!”

Kennedy L.

“Vicky was the best I could’ve hoped for. My dog was excited arriving into her home, and that’s not like her, she’s normally pretty nervous. Daphne was thrilled, and the photos and videos that followed showed that she was living the good life! Chillaxing and running=her happy life. Vicky lives in an amazing spot with trails in the forest that are dog heaven, I can only assume!!!”

Jules H.

“Michaela was great with Barley for an evening so my wife and I could go to a festival. Even in the relatively short time, she sent multiple photos and videos of Barley clearly having a great time with Michaela, her partner, and her dog Gus. I would recommend her to anyone in Portland!”

Alex C.

“Rachael was amazing with Maizy. Maizy vacationed with her for 8 nights. As promised, we received many pictures and updates daily. She was in tuned to how our girl was feeling and we could see the happiness on Maizy’s face in the pics. Rachel reached out with food questions when needed. We seriously could not have asked for a better vacation for our Maizy girl! Highly recommend Rachael! Hopr the secret doesn’t spread too fast so we can book Rachael again!”

Doug & Karen F.

“Viva is awesome. Timely, communicative and thoughtful with her questions. She made sure all the boxes were checked in terms of my dogs needs and habits. Pictures and updates everyday, which was awesome! She and her partner took the time to bring her on some great adventures too. Totally thankful for a no-stress experience so I could enjoy my vacation!”

Julia M.

“Claudia and Jason were wonderful with Lawson! They kept me updated throughout the day with plenty of pictures and details about their activities. Their attention to detail was exceptional, and they made sure Lawson was comfortable the entire time. I would absolutely recommend them to friends!”

About: *Please note that our Day Care & Boarding rates are at a special rate for August and September while we build our Rover profile! We just ask that in return you'll be sure to write us a review based on the care we provide your doggo 💛* Hi there! We’re Amanda and Austen, a couple based in Scarborough with a dog of our own (our Mini Aussie, Mazie) and a lot of love to share with yours. When Amanda’s not caring for her sweet group of five-year-olds or Austen’s not out playing tennis, we’re spending time with Mazie, chasing seagulls at the beach, hiking in the mountains, or snuggling up on the couch after a snowy play session. We love active days just as much as laid-back ones, and we’re happy to match whatever energy your pup brings. We both grew up in homes with animals- at one point, Amanda had five dogs and a cat! We have cared for dogs of all breeds and energy levels, from teacup-size rescues to large-breed couch potatoes, plus plenty of other animals over the years (including Sparkles the Bearded Dragon, Amanda’s current classroom pet). We live in a quiet neighborhood with a fully fenced-in backyard that dogs love to explore. Austen works from home full-time, so your pup will get plenty of attention throughout the day, and we share responsibilities depending on the care your pet needs. Whether it’s a weekend adventure, daily daycare, or a cozy overnight stay, we’re here to make your dog feel happy, safe, and loved. We offer care throughout the week and are happy to accommodate weekends, holidays, and special requests as our schedule allows. Austen works from home and provides consistent weekday care and supervision, while Amanda handles most weekend walks, drop-ins, and house sitting when needed. Between the two of us, your pet will never go long without company, playtime, or a potty break. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a last-minute trip, we’ll work with you to make sure your pup is happy and cared for. We know how important it is to trust someone with your pet. That’s why we always begin with a meet-and-greet to ensure your dog is comfortable with us, and you’re confident in the care we provide. We take a gentle, respectful approach, especially with shy or anxious dogs, and we’ll always ask for your guidance on what makes your pup feel safe and secure. Whether we’re in your home or ours, we want to provide a low-stress, enriching environment with plenty of attention, structure, and love. We’re also happy to provide regular updates (with photos!) and check-ins during every visit or stay, so you’re always in the loop - because we’d want the same from someone watching Mazie.

“Sarah is amazing, wonderful at communitating, sent lots of pictures and a video she was also super flexible when snow made our travels time unsure. When we picked Lola up she was happy as could be ?”

Christina & Gabriel F.

“Kathleen was great with Willow! She was so kind and understanding of her quirks. She had great communication from start to finish and sent much appreciated updates and photos while watching Willow. Highly recommend!”

Cara P.

“Excellent sitter! Jake was great at communicating and so sweet with Belle! She was a calm, happy girl when I picked her up!”

“Alma took such good care of our pup while we were away for the weekend! He got lots of exercise and had so much fun playing with Birdie. Alma had a great setup at home and her communication was top notch.”

Celine T.

“Rose took such great care of our dramatic girl! She was easy to communicate with prior to the booking to make sure we were all on the same page about Lady’s needs, and she sent lots of pictures during her stay. Any dog would be lucky to be watched by Rose!”

Tess M.

About: As someone who genuinely loves taking care of animals, this role is perfect for me. I am that person that will stop on the street to pet any and all dogs (if their owners allow it!) I am a full time nursing student graduating in December and also work at the hospital, but would love to also schedule some animal time in as well :) I am mostly free on weekends due to my school schedule, but may vary week to week. I can usually be fairly flexible though depending on the week! I am very detailed and organized, so steps for taking care of your pets will not be missed! I will treat your dogs as if they were my own.

“Gwen helped us out at the last minute and saved the day when we discovered that our Portland hotel would not allow us to bring our dog. Our pup immediately took to Gwen who was warm and friendly. Gwen sent photos of our dog happy and cozy in her care. Would highly recommend!”

About: I'm dedicated to your dog's well-being and offer genuine love, playful engagement, and a safe home and environment to ensure a stress-free experience. I have been a dog owner my entire life and I know how to read the body language of dogs. I nurture trust so that your dog is as happy here as s/he is in your home. We have two rescue dogs here in the home, Phoebe and Canela. Phoebe has been with us since she was a tiny chiweenie puppy six years ago, and Canela is a two year old sweetheart that was starving/living on the streets in Oaxaca, Mexico. Little did I know when I fell in love with her that the only way to get her home was to have her driven here in February! I am a writer and have a small gardening & vintage business which allows me to be at home close to full-time. Because I have a fenced in yard, I leave the door to my back porch open and our dogs go in and out of the home as they wish. I am here to monitor them, of course! I have a big fenced yard and two dogs that love to play and go for walks on the Greenbelt which is across the street. When they are inside, they sleep like queens on the couch or bed. Their favorite activity when they are not playing is to stare out the front window from the bed and bark at all the dogs that dare walk by our home.

“We needed someone for 1 night and Kylie was great and I will call her again. I would recommend her 100%. Penny loved her walkies and snacks.”

Theresa D.

“Jules was amazing! She kept our two dogs active and happy during their stay. She was very attentive to our puppy, who is 6 months and still figuring a few things out. Both dogs were treated as a part of the family, and enjoyed being able to snuggle up with Jules while staying overnight.”

Katie H.

“Bee had a fun time at Hannah’s! This was my first time using a Rover sitter for my dog, and Hannah made me feel at ease about the whole process. She made sure to ask all the important questions to prepare for Bee’s visit, and sent pictures every day to update me on how Bee was doing. I would definitely request Hannah again for dog sitting - she did a wonderful job handling all the energy of my 8 month old pup and made her feel comfortable being away from home.”
