Dog Boarding in Portland

“Louise is so happy getting out of the car at Elisabeth’s. She is so well cared for and Elisabeth always sends updates of what she’s up to and how much fun she’s having. So grateful to Elisabeth and highly recommend her and her sweet dogs!!”

“As always, Sarah did a great job taking care of Pepper while we were out of town. Pepper has started recognizing Sarah's door when we pull up and always seems excited to go inside. Sarah is patient with Pepper's quirks, communicative, and was gracious and flexible when a flight delay made me late for pickup. I highly recommend her!”

“Kelly was the perfect sitter for our Winnie! Winnie stayed with Kelly for 2 days and 1 night. Kelly and Winnie bonded immediately and she was totally comfortable in the home. Lots of walks, play time and snuggles! Kelly sent us many photos and catered to Winnie's every need. She will definitely be staying with Kelly again in the future! Highly recommended!”

“Vicky was a great sitter for my pup, Rhody! Rhody is super shy and can be anxious but Vicky made her comfortable right from the start. I loved all the picture updates and would definitely use Vicky again!”

“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!”

“My dog Molly had such a great time spending the week with Lucy and Ike! Throughout the process they showed they cared very much for my furball by sending updates on how she was doing and I immediately felt like the pup was in safe hands when I met them.”

“Karli is the best! We trust her with our two big, very hyper & active dogs every time we go away. She does more than just feed and let them out, she always takes them on long walks, to the beach, dog park etc! We are starting to think they like her more than us! LOL you are in the very best hands leaving your pets with Karli! She treats them like family.”

“We couldn’t have had a better experience with Kathleen B. She welcomed our dog into her family for the weekend and cared for him like he was her own. I highly recommend Kathleen B. I look forward to having her watch our dog again in the future.”

“Ryan was great with Junior! He communicates well and clearly likes dogs. He’s also really punctual so it makes the pick up and drop off seamless.”

“Daisy is a bit nervous and shy at first, and has the high energy of her breed, a mini-Australian Shepherd. Anne B. was able to make her feel right at home and did a fantastic job of caring for her. This was a trial run and we look forward to leaving Daisy in Anne!s care for longer periods.”

“I can't recommend Emma enough! It was a last minute booking to give our pup a break from the Thanksgiving crowd. Emma was responsive and communicated frequently. She even took our dog in a road race!”

“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.”

“I thought I was a dog lover until I met Sheryl about 12 years ago. She is the best at caring for dogs that I have ever seen! She understands and nurtures them. She possesses qualities of love, compassion and patience. And yet, she can combine that with doggy discipline and a great calmness during unsettling moments. If I ever come back as a dog, I absolutely want Sheryl as my owner! Ed.”

“Our dog, Myla always has lots of fun with Molly and Ricky’s dogs. Molly and Ricky are very attentive and caring dog sitters and provide daily updates and pictures which is very much appreciated.”

“This was our first time using Rover and Harrison was wonderful! We got pictures and updates throughout Bruschi's entire stay with Harrison. When we picked up Bruschi - he was happy and well adjusted!!”

“Kylie and John were absolutely amazing with Fenway! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. She sent me regular photo updates, and it was clear he was happy, relaxed, and having a great time. I could tell he got plenty of love, attention, and playtime. Fenway will definitely be staying with them again in the future. Highly recommend!”

About: I am a Portland educator who loves to bike, hike, and adventure around town. I grew up with two large dogs and miss caring for pups! I am considering adopting a puppy, but before I do, I want to experience pet care more consistently. I am available for long walks, beach runs, and couch cuddles. I work until 3pm M-F, with some time around noon to walk and play. I will have much more flexibility this summer. I love to run after work! I love playing with dogs just as much as I love a good couch cuddle. Depending on the dog's personality, I am available for hanging at home or running on the beach.

“Annie was awesome! Lots of pictures and snuggles for our golden retriever!! She even introduced him to her bird, Francis, who captivated Rigby. Will absolutely book with Annie again.”

“Elizabeth is awesome! We left our chihuahua with her for about 2 weeks while we were out of town, and we felt so comfortable knowing our little baby was in such a loving home, with someone who adores dogs as much as Elizabeth does! She sent us pictures, videos, and sweet little updates everyday, and we even had the opportunity to FaceTime with our little angel 🐾 We forgot to pack our dog’s winter coat, and it got quite cold, but Elizabeth had an extra coat that she bundled her in to make sure she was safe and warm on their walks through Evergreen. Also, our little pup gets nervous when we leave her and sometimes won’t eat because of it, but Elizabeth HAND FED her! And then she ate her whole dinner like that. Can you believe that? If that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about how much Elizabeth cares, I don’t know what will. One more way that Elizabeth went above and beyond that really meant the world to us, was how flexible she was with scheduling. We had some unexpected very-last-minute changes to our trip, but Elizabeth was extremely accommodating, kind, and patient. She really had our back. Elizabeth is such a good person, and you can tell that she really cares about you, as well as your dog. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and above-and-beyond to take care of your beloved dog, look no further! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Elizabeth!”

“I'm so glad to have found Rose to take care of our dog Izzy. I felt worry free leaving her with Izzy and appreciated all of the updates and photos while we were away. Seems like Izzy went on some fun adventures! I would definitely have Rose care for Izzy in the future.”
