Doggy Day Care in Skamokawa

“So grateful, I was able to find Marissa on such short notice! Went fishing on the Columbia but did not want to have a toddler and a dog on the river. It was also hot, and didn’t want my dog to overheat. With Marissa only being 8 minutes from the Elochoman Slough Marina and her experience with dogs made it perfect! My dog really enjoyed her time and was all smiles when we arrived. I’m glad to have found a future sitter for future fishing trips.”

“Tristan was so sweet and friendly. She was so accommodating taking my pups at the last minute. The girls warmed up to her really quickly which isn't always the case. She sent pics of them out on walks with her dogs. They all looked like they were having a splendid time! I would love to have her watch my fur babies again some time 🥰.”

“Good communication and very flexible. I feel at peace when I leave Zoey there. Zoey always begins wagging her tail as we head towards Erin’s door so I take that as a good sign! 😊”

“Julie took very good care of our little Havanese doggie for a day recently while we enjoyed a mini-vacation in Astoria, Oregon. We will certainly consider using Julie again on future trips to the Astoria area. Thank you, Julie.”

“This is my first time using Rover, and I am a first time dog owner. I needed to schedule something very last minute and Emily was very flexible working with me and Daisy. She did a great job and kept in contact about her stay. She is very friendly and is very well experienced in this business.”

“My pup enjoyed spending the day with Emily's kids. Nice have the dog be with family if it can't be our family.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old and have experience with a wide range of breeds—from Golden Retrievers and Great Dane mixes to Australian Shepherds. Over the past few years, I cared for our senior Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix who had special needs and required a detailed medication routine. Supporting her through that stage of her life taught me a great deal about patience, attentiveness, and compassionate care. Now that she has passed, I’d love to continue sharing that care with other dogs while their families are away. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, giving them attention, companionship, and the comfort they deserve. I work from home full-time, which means I’m available throughout the day and can provide consistent care and supervision whenever it’s needed. Because I work from home and am self-employed, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be available throughout the day for attentive, consistent care. I’m able to plan my work around the needs of the dogs I’m caring for, which means plenty of time for walks, play, feeding, medication if needed, and lots of companionship. Dogs are never left alone for long periods, and I truly enjoy having them around while I work—it makes the day better for both of us. This flexibility allows me to provide reliable, all-day care and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well loved while their family is away. I have a large, fully fenced backyard that provides plenty of safe space for dogs to run, play, and explore. We’re located in a quiet, semi-rural neighborhood that offers a calm and relaxed environment, away from heavy traffic and city noise. The area also has many nearby trails and walking paths, which are perfect for daily walks, fresh air, and little adventures depending on each dog’s energy level. It’s a great setting for dogs to stay active, enjoy the outdoors, and feel comfortable while they’re away from home.

“Soleil was GREAT. She took such good care of my girl. She was very flexible with super fast responses. I really don’t think I could ask for a better pup sitter.”

About: Military Veteran | Lifelong Animal Lover Hello! My name is Kortni, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Since the age of 8, I’ve had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of animals—from horses and livestock to dogs, cats, and even fish. My experience comes from both personal ownership and working alongside professional trainers, always with the goal of providing well-rounded, compassionate care. During my time in the military, I was fortunate to have a few incredible opportunities to work with military working dogs—an experience that deepened my respect for animal intelligence, discipline, and emotional needs. Now that I’ve recently transitioned out of the military, I’m taking time to reconnect with the things I love most: animals, nature, and a slower pace of life. That also means I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to your pet’s unique needs—whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, playtime, or sticking to a specific routine. This is my passion, and what I do for work. I currently have an 8-year-old Australian Shepherd at home who’s the biggest spoiled lap dog you’ll ever meet. I understand how much our pets mean to us, and I treat every animal in my care like one of my own—with love, patience, and attention to detail. Special diet? Specific routine? Just let me know—I’m happy to accommodate. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for while you're away. You can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet!

“Trinity is very kind, gentle and responsible. She took great care of my puppy. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave a pet with her. She seems like a really great person who will go far and do well.”

“I highly recommend Annie if you are looking for pet daycare. From the moment my wife and I met Annie we knew that Whimsy would be well taken care. We went to an amusement park for the day and Annie kept us up to speed on status and was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. When we are back in the area we will most definitely use her services again.”

About: I've been around all animals almost all of my life. They bring me so much love & I love giving it in return. I've also had the honor of working for a veterinarian for 10 years. I am currently available all times of day & all days of the week. My schedule is wide open & I look for the opportunity. I respect all manner of pet care, depending on the owners. We currently have 1 dog who gets along with animals. Our yard is fenced.

“Amazing experience with Alicia. She was so kind and attentive to our dogs. She gave them lots of love and exercise. I have never used Rover before and it was a great experience. I will not hesitate to use her again. Thank you Alicia”

“My two pups are very well cared for in Kari's home! They obviously feel very secure there. When we pick them up, they are happy to see us, of course, but seem very at ease and relaxed.”

Laycie M.

“Mikki was absolutely great! She took the time to have a few meet ups with our puppy to make sure everyone got along well, and she had the patience of a saint for dealing with a puppy with all her quirks. We will definitely be reaching out and booking again for future sitting needs.”

Zsivon K.

“Lily was happy when I picked her up. She played with the host dog in the yard and did will. I will use Roseanna again. I have already booked her next visit. Thank you, Roseanna! Janet”
