Doggy Day Care in Portland

“Tommy truly loves dogs and handles our massive Newfoundland with ease! She spent the day with him and came home tired but content. We were kept updated of everything leading up to and during her stay. Highly recommend!”

“Ian was great with my dog. He was dependable and knowledgeable. My dog was always happy at pick up and had obviously been well cared for. I really appreciate Ian taking care of my Iris while she was in heat, that is not an easy thing to find, and he handled it with ease. Ian was also available with little notice. He is flexible and responsible. I have felt very grateful to find him.”

“Allen's doggy daycare is a huge garden of Eden that our dog loves! She comes home tired and happy after playing with her friends. Because she is getting such good socialization with Allen and his sweet pack, she is calmer and more confident at home--so happy we found Allen (and Kaya :-)”

“Laura and Nicholas are so wonderful. They are patient and sweet with my girl Gigi. Very communicative, reliable and have been such a help on my long work days. Gigi is so excited to get to their home and for a sassy fierce pup like mine that is such a relief. They play ball with her, she gets to relax in their backyard and even takes her on hikes. They both have a warm energy and working with them has been a breeze. Definitely would and have recommended them!”

“Freya had a great day with Gil and Peachy. I couldn't be happier that she was so excited to scoot around the yard before we left. We'll definitely be back soon! Thank you!”

Jennifer H.

“Caitlin was so kind and patient with both dogs, especially my more fearful/anxious chihuahua. Her dog Lucy is a sweetheart and was also great with the small dogs.”

Lauren R.

“Naomi was so wonderful with Ruby. Ruby was excited to see her each week and I knew she would be well cared for at each visit. Thank you, Naomi!”

Angela F.

“I could tell that my dog had a fun time at Beverly’s house. She had good communication and gave a detailed picture of Archie’s stay and any hiccups he encountered. Her care was much appreciated and I would have Archie stay with her again.”

Helen V.

“By far, the absolute best person/daycare she's (Lilybean, 4yo mini Doxie) been with! My dog gets her own bag to go visit and never wants to leave! I commend her resolve to not watch breeds she doesn't feel comfortable with and I'm sooooo glad I found Rover!”

“Evita has an incredible smile, and that was indicative of the care and affection she obviously showed my pup. Our dog returned home happy, well fed, and well exercised. Evita was very friendly, and extremely attentive. I will definitely request her as a sitter again. Thank you Evita!”

“Rosa took very good care of my two dogs.”

“Sijie is an absolutely wonderful pup sitter! From the moment she starts caring for my dog, I feel completely at ease. She goes above and beyond by sending regular updates and tons of adorable photos throughout the day, which is such a comfort for an anxious pup mom like me. It’s clear she truly cares and takes the time to make sure my pup feels loved, safe, and happy while I’m away. I can’t recommend her enough—she’s reliable, attentive, and has such a calming presence. I always know my dog is in great hands with Sijie!”

“Jaime and Chris took great care of Calvin. They sent pictures and keep me posted about how he was doing. Highly recommended. I will take Calvin back. They are wonderful!”

“Washington loved it at Dahlia’s. She really helped make sure Washington was comfortable and he enjoyed going on walks with Dahlia. Thank you.”

About: I have been around dogs since I was a child. I used to walk my neighbors’ dogs. Now, I live with my 11-year-old French Bulldog, Mac. Through caring for him, I’ve learned how to be patient, gentle, and supportive — especially with senior dogs and dogs who need time to trust people. Mac has some unique needs, including potty training issues and age-related habits. I have experience giving him pills, applying ointments, using eye and ear drops, and trimming his nails and paw hair. Although I haven’t cared for other dogs in this way yet, I’m confident and gentle when it comes to daily care. I especially love caring for dogs who might need a little more time, attention, or understanding. I also take a very mindful approach to my own dog’s diet. I carefully combine multiple types of dry food, supplements, and ingredients to support a balanced diet. I even modify the portions based on his activity level. If you’re someone who puts a lot of thought into your dog’s nutrition, I’d be more than happy to support and follow any specific meal plans or routines you prefer! I’m also happy to keep track of your dog’s water intake and potty habits if that’s something you monitor!! I currently have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home. This allows me to give plenty of care and attention to the dogs I look after. I can take dogs on multiple short walks throughout the day, usually three to four times for 15 minutes each. If longer walks are preferred, I can do that two to three times per day. Keeping dogs comfortable, happy, and safe is always my top priority. I offer a calm and clean home where dogs can relax and feel at ease. Dogs are allowed in the living and dining areas so I can always keep an eye on them. At night, I leave my bedroom door open so I can hear them if they need anything. I live with Mac, my senior French Bulldog. He takes a little time to get used to other dogs, but he is never aggressive. He enjoys calm company and usually spends most of his day napping. I keep my home tidy and hygienic so dogs can stay comfortable. We go for walks along the Willamette River or visit nearby dog parks. If requested, I can also provide photo updates or use a pet camera to keep you informed. * :. *.: * :. *.: * :. *.: * :. *.: Leaving your beloved dog with someone new can be nerve-wracking. To help ease your mind, I’m happy to offer a short complimentary daycare session — just to make sure both you and your pup feel comfortable and confident. * :. *.: * :. *.: * :. *.: * :. *.:

“Nice lady”

About: Hi, I’m Maddy! A lifelong animal lover, proud cat and dog mom, and someone who believes every pet deserves kindness, comfort, and connection. I’ve been around animals my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. Today, I share mine with Kevin (my tabby) and MJ (my miniature schnauzer mix), and I bring that same care and attention to every pet I look after. Whether your pet is a ball of energy or a couch potato, I’m just happy to provide a safe, comforting presence. I also have an eye for detail and take the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously. From feeding and medications to playtime and routines, you can count on me to follow instructions closely and communicate clearly, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Spending time with animals genuinely makes my day better, and I’d love the chance to help make your pet’s day a little brighter, too. I’m currently free on weekdays and am available morning, noon, and evening for drop-ins, walks, or daycare. I have reliable transportation and can be flexible with scheduling. I’m comfortable caring for pets both in my home and in yours, and I adjust my approach based on what your pet needs to feel safe and loved. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for animals to relax and play. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible and make sure they have quiet, cozy spots to unwind, especially if they need time to adjust or prefer alone time. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s routine. I stick closely to any instructions you provide. I know how important it is for animals to feel secure, so I make sure to keep things consistent and calm. In either setting, I bring patience, attention to detail, and a deep love for animals.

“Rachel was a great, super chill sitter for our 9 month old, 20 lb puppy. She was communicative and responsive. Also very patient and understanding. We received photos and a report each day. She lives near a dog park, so our puppy was able to get her energy out. We ended up needing to revise and ultimately cancel half of our dates due to an extreme heatwave- our plans changed because the weather heated up. Rachel was totally understanding and accommodating. Thanks , Rachel! We would definitely use her again and recommend her to others.”

“What a lovely sitter! My normally nervous dog was so happy to meet her and apparently had a very successful and cuddly stay! Would definitely book again. Great communicator and clearly magic with animals.”
