Doggy Day Care in Underwood Heights

About: I've had dogs my whole life and have been the go-to dog sitter for friends and family for the last 15 years. Whether it's energetic puppies or mellow seniors, I know how to tune in to each dog’s unique needs and make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home—even when you're away. We live on over 6 acres of land with a full acre securely fenced in, so your dog will have plenty of room to run, sniff, and explore safely. When your dog stays with me, they’ll get more than just walks and meals—they’ll get affection, playtime, and a calm, dependable environment. I treat every pet like family and I’m happy to follow your specific routines, preferences, and training methods to keep things consistent for your pup. Whether it’s daily updates, photo check-ins, or managing special needs, I’ve got you covered. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m available to care for pets seven days a week. Your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day, and I’m always nearby for walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I have a three year old Chessie who loves new friends. I adjust each stay to fit your dog’s personality and needs, and I’m happy to follow any specific routines, including medications or crate training.

“It felt so great to leave my pup with Laura - from the moment I dropped her off I knew my pup was in safe and loving arms. Loved the picks of my pup on a walk and grateful for Laura's flexibility as my drop off and pick up times were changing. Definitely recommend Laura for your pet.”

“Rebecca responded quickly to all of our questions and was patient. We had never put our dog Izzie in a kennel before. The photos of their facilities gave a good sense of what the dogs were provided with inside and outside, and photos of Izzie Rebecca sent to us on the days Rebecca was caring for Izzie were fun and reassuring. Lastly, their roaming farm animals were a delight. We will kennel our dog with Rebecca whenever we are in this part of the Columbia Gorge.”

“Skye-Ann was great. She was responsive and available when we needed a sitter. Our dog was happy as could be when we came to pick him up! I would definitely recommend her!”

“Ashley and her husband watched Juniper on their awesome property in the gorge for me all day. Juniper had a great time walking with them off leash and even having a playdate with a neighbor dog. Thank you!”

About: Note— I return to college on the 22nd of August, and will not be available in the Gorge after that. Hi there! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’ve cared for animals my whole life, and grew up with two dogs (Jack and Ozzy), in addition to chickens and rabbits. Most recently, I cared for a friends two labradors for a two months. I’m quick to learn specific care routines, and I’m attentive to changes in behavior or health—your pet’s comfort and safety are always my priority. Whether your animal is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll treat them like my own. I am currently home from college for the summer, and working only sporadically from home. This means that your furry friend will be my first priority! I have a fenced yard one acre yard, and one friendly dog that is crate trained. I can easily crate your dog in my home too. If I am carrying for a dog in your home, I am available throughout the day to stop by and let the dog out, walk them, or to just hang out.

“Charlie was great! I felt calm, and comfortable leaving my Millie , for the first time ever, in his care. He sent the best video of her having a blast running and playing. Highly recommend Charlie!!!! Can’t thank him enough!”

“Sam has a great property for dog sitting, fully fenced in with indoor AC available. My two dogs fully enjoyed their stay, helping with the garden and playing with her adorable pup. I would highly recommend Sam as a pet sitter. 15/10 experience!”

“Allie is really sweet! She was available to get my dog in pretty short-notice, walked her for a bit, and gave her playtime with her own pups :) appreciated her taking my dog for the morning!”

“Makenzie was responsive, easy to work with, and kind to my dog. Her dog Mochi is a well behaved playmate and my pup came back happy and tired after getting long walks and lots of playtime in the yard.”

“Prudence and her dog did such a great job with our German Short-haired Pointer! She is clearly a gifted and experienced dog sitter and kept up with our pup's energy but also got her to relax on our dog's first doggy day care visit. 10/10 recommend Prudence!”
