Cat Sitters in Ardenwald, Milwaukie

Betsy and Amelia with Bowser’s Best Buddy are a cut above the rest. I see how much genuine love and care they show my pup, while offering positive and consistent training. My dog Otis attends their day program and has truly blossomed, from an excitable 1 year old adolescent to a well rounded, friendly, obedient member of their pack. Betsy has offered such valuable recommendations on how I could continue the training approach at home to keep advancing his knowledge. I found Betsy as I looked for a day program that wasn’t a larger scale “daycare” space. Betsy did a careful screening to make sure Otis would fit well with the other dogs and slowly folded Otis into the mix. Now that Otis is a “regular,” it gives me peace of mind that any newcomers to the program will be similarly vetted and introduced. A year into attending the day program, Otis is thriving and I am so grateful for the Bowser’s team (Finn, the elder pup, included!)

My two pups absolutely adore Betsy!!!! She takes them for walks, comes by and feeds them when I’m delayed, and have stayed with her and loved their time there. She is always there to help her clients in a pinch. Such a caring woman💕 We are very happy to have “found” such special care. …

Betsy is reliable, communicative, and knowledgeable. From photo and video updates, to leash and manners training, and extra cuddle time, she is more than just a dog walker. I’m so grateful for Betsy and all of her work with Phoebe!

We have been taking our girl to Bowser’s since she was a puppy. Tuesday’s are her favorite day of the week. Betsy treats Pimm like her own and it’s such a relief to not have to worry about her while I’m working. I get pic and video updates during the day, like this gem. We love working with Betsy. She’s professional, a great communicator, and so welcoming to Pimm. If your pup can get a spot, their lucky!

Betsy is a gem! We have two cats, and when we leave to go out of town, we go in peace, because we know they are always so well cared for and loved by Betsy. We feel so fortunate to have found her. Her daily updates, photos, and videos are wonderful to receive and make us feel so close to our kitties, even when we are far away. I can’t imagine finding a more professional, thoughtful, and thorough pet caregiver. 5 stars all around!

An incredible place for my goldendoodle! She has an amazing time with the other dogs, is incredibly well looked after. I would trust Bowser’s Best Buddies with one of the most important things in my life any day!

You will never find anyone better. The improvement into dogs’ lives when Betsy started walking them was immeasurable. I think they love her more than they love me. Maybe I love her more than I love me! If you call anyone else you’re just making a mistake.

We have been using Bowser’s Best Buddy for our catsitting needs over the last two years. We are so grateful to have found Betsy! She always takes great care of our two cats. We look forward to receiving the pictures/videos she sends after each visit. It gives us peace of mind each time we travel knowing that Betsy is checking in on them. We can’t recommend her enough!!

Whenever I’m leaving town, I rely on Betsy to take great care of my furbaby. I feel like she treats my dog as her own and that gives me piece of mind. My dog is well taken care of and spoiled, even sleeping in Betsy’s bed. Betsy is super reliable and communicative. She sends me regular updates and pictures while my dog is in her care. I highly recommend Betsy to take care of your pet(s)!

We found Betsy about a year ago - and think she is fantastic!! Our three dogs love her as well....she comes for mid day visits when we are out of town. She never fails to send us photos and a detailed review of the visit - and also takes the time to make sure things in the house and yard are in order. Betsy is organized, reliable, trustworthy and most of all, loves my puppies. I highly recommend her to any pet owner!!!

My wife and I were feeling hopeless when it came to boarding our mini Goldendoodle. It was difficult to find a good location, fair pricing and someone trustworthy to take care of our pup when we were out of town. Finally we came across Holly’s website and were immediately intrigued. We reached out and Holly was so responsive and caring. We got a meet and greet scheduled right away and it went amazing. Holly and her family are so welcoming and easy to communicate with. It has been such a relief to have found Holly and now we always know we have a reliable plan for where our dog will stay when we need help with her. Our favorite part is the daily photo updates we get from Holly when she is watching our dog ♥️ thank you, Holly!

Holly was very easy to work with, responsive to communications, and thoughtful about taking care of my pup. I had a great trip knowing she was in good hands. The daily pics were not only adorable but high quality, too! Will definitely choose Holly again :)

We are so thrilled we found Holly Hearts Animals for our dogs first boarding experience. Holly took amazing care of her needs, gave her daily outings, and spoiled her as if she was her own. My husband and I really appreciated the daily updates & photos of her time in Holly’s care!

This review is long over-due. Holly has been caring for our 4 animals (2 cats and 2 dogs) for quite a while now, and she has been absolutely stellar! She is very communicative and very compassionate in the care of our animals. Pricing is fair. Two of our animals have medical issues and one of our dogs in particular has some mobility issues. Holly is always attentive and ensures our pup gets to play without pushing herself too far (she would play fetch all day if she could). When Holly cares for your animals, you can tell she really treats them like family. I would recommend her 100%. Thank you Holly for all you do for our family! PS: She takes some pretty great photos!

We always feel comfortable having Holly watch our two cats while we're away! Holly is responsive, lets us know if there are any issues, and sends the cutest daily photo updates. She goes above and beyond to make sure they feel loved (and we're updated) while we are away!

We left our pet rabbit with Holly for a week. I knew right away that she was in good hands. Holly carefully went over all the instructions with us before we said good bye and made sure our little bunny had a comfortable set up. Then, amazingly, we got wonderful photos and updates throughout the week. Everyone was having a good time together. We were so grateful to have found Holly to share their home and attention with our little friend. Holly is really special.

Our dog loved her stay with Holly and family so much and it was such a huge relief for us to know she was being well taken care of while we were gone. Holly sent daily pictures which were much appreciated. Highly recommend!

Holly provided care for our two cats for a week. I could tell by the cute pictures she sent each day that the cats were very comfortable with her. She even took care of an ant evasion we had, putting out ant traps we had to keep the pests away from the cat food! She always replied promptly to texts we sent while away. I will definitely use her services again.

Holly has taken care of my kitty a couple times now and has done such a good job. She checks on my girl reliably and sends me photo updates everyday so I feel reassured that everything is ok back home. Vacations are so much more relaxing when I know my fur baby is being looked after. I highly recommend Holly!

Holly has been incredible with our 1+ yo dog, Maggie. Maggie is full of energy and love and needs a lot of attention and play. Holly expertly guides Maggie through her days and always sends us lots of great photos to put our minds at ease. She has been very flexible to meet Maggie’s needs and our busy schedule. Her toddler is great around dogs, just like her mom!

This place is amazing. Each cat gets a whole room with windows to look out of and jungle gyms to climb on. They grow their own organic catnip for the cats, do a great grooming, and give each cat outdoor time in one of multiple catios plus time to roam the house. Attached are photos they sent us of our cat during his stay.

The best cat boarding I've ever found. They took excellent care of our 14-yr-old cat who's on a special diet and has type 2 diabetes, tracking his blood sugar and administering his insulin. They also went the extra mile to fit in our younger cats when we changed our holiday plans. All of the cats got frequent play time and attention, and I received daily updates which made my vacation more relaxing. This really is a cat hotel that puts customer health and satisfaction first.

Good people, amazing service, and the best setup for cats I've ever seen. Every cat gets their own rooms with soft beds, sunny windows, and things to climb on. They also grow their own catnip with nothing but water and sunshine that my cat loved a bunch. They even sent us home with some for free for our fluffy doofus to enjoy.

The BEST cat hotel! Such a caring experienced loving staff. And the accommodations with numerous options offered can satisfy any kitty’s needs. The attention to details is appreciated with every need or possible circumstance being addressed. My elderly cat has been going to Cats in the City since she was young and every experience, from grooming to boarding, has been wonderful.

My cat Schmitten had an amazing time and had amazing staff that took amazing care of him. The facility that he stayed at was so warm and cozy for him. I know he was safe and having fun. We loved getting daily updates of him and getting to know how he was doing. He will 100% come back when we go away on our next trip.

Previously we had a wonderful service that came to our house twice a day to look after our baby. But she moved away, so we had to find another solution to leave on vacation. Most boarding places for cats have cages and look after the feeding and health quite well, but sometimes Dora would develop stress symptoms. That environment only looks after feeding and bowel movements. At Cats in the City, the cats each have a little apartment with climbing places and glass to view what's going on. Each day, the cats get some time outside their apartment to roam and meet the staff. We got a daily status report that included whether Dora got some catnip, if she was eating well, interacting with the staff... When we arrived to take her home, Dora was curled up under a chair on the patio where Jeff had been sitting with her. Dora looked very happy and comfortable. Expensive, perhaps- Dora's apartment was $60 per day. But that buys your baby the best possible treatment. Jeff clearly knows cats and what a cat needs/wants! The best possible alternative to simply staying at home. You can go on vacation and not worry.

Our cats are currently at cats in the city due to our home having to be rebuilt post the storm in January and have had to be there for a pretty extended time period. I feel like the staff at cats in the city actually know my cats’ personality and are taking such good care of them. We get photo updates and report card updates daily, and it makes us feel less sad for having to be away from them for such an extended time. It’s a huge plus that our kitties have catio time each day. Would definitely recommend cats in the city for your kitty sitting needs

Our two cats have stayed there twice, and both times they were very chill when we picked them up. We got notice that they both won first place in the snoozing contest. They must have been happy! Our long-haired (Norwegian Forest cat) even had a “spa day” and came home just beautiful! We’ll be back!

First rate experience for both boarding and grooming. They are extremely conscientious and informative. You get daily updates on your cats stay. They really take the time to get to know your cats preferences and needs. HIGHLY Recommend.

We love Cats in the City boarding! Our boys stay at the Sellwood location and it has become their vacation resort! They receive loving care and attention. They are made to feel comfortable and safe. We love the daily Meow Messages during their stay. We feel so confident with the feline behavior knowledge that the staff have at CITC.

Mary Ellen takes the best care of my dogs, so much that the youngest would happily stay there forever. Great pick up/drop off process. Excellent communication and scheduling is easy, daycare or boarding. So glad to have stumbled across her place years ago!

My husband, myself and our pup just moved to the SE area and we were stressing on finding a doggy daycare. We both work all day and didn’t want our pup to be home alone; he has a lot of anxiety & especially separation anxiety. We found Mary Ellen’s daycare and immediately she sounded like a good fit. We’ve been taking our pup to her for about a month now and it’s been going great! We were really concerned that his anxiety would be an issue and that maybe it’d be a bit much for Mary Ellen, but she quickly dispelled those fears. She’s been working with our pup and helping him adjust to the new routine and has been incredibly kind and patient. We’re so grateful to have found Mary Ellen ☺️☺️☺️

We LOVE Wag Along! Our pup has been going there for a while for daycare and comes home happy and exhausted. We've also boarded her there and had a great experience. Mary Ellen is knowledgeable, flexible and reliable, and it is such a great spot for our pup to spend some time each week! Our girl can be a little nervous to leave us (she grew up during pandemic stay-home orders), but warmed right up to going! I know how much she loves it by her excitement when we pull in for drop off & at the end of the day, she usually doesn't want to leave! We consider Wag Along her second family and highly recommend them for boarding or daycare :)

I feel grateful to have found this day care/boarding location for my pup! I’ve brought my pup there for day care and I’ve boarded her for as long as 5 days. My dog always leaves happy and tired from playing with all the other wonderful dogs. I trust that Mary Ellen keeps a watchful eye over all of the dogs while they are under her care. Mary Ellen is excellent at communicating with me and I feel 100% comfortable leaving my puppy there. I would highly recommend!

Mary Ellen is the best. We always leave our dog with her when we're away and have been doing so since 2016. As soon as we pull up outside her house, she starts whimpering to get out and join her friends. Mary Ellen has two dogs of her own, Margaux and Rou, both wonderful golden retrievers who our dog adores. They're kind of like benevolent older siblings to her. I often think our dog has a better time than we do — home away from home!

I took my anxious 1 year old puppy to Wag Along to try to help with her separation anxiety and socialization. Mary Ellen took extra good care of her and within a few weeks Bootsy was more confident and well behaved and she loves going to see Mary Ellen and to play with the other dogs. I appreciate how very easy drop off and pick up is, and that my pup is still clean at the end of the day. Mary Ellen is kind, responsible and the price is right.

We’ve taken our energetic 1.5 year old heeler Sylvie here since the beginning of the year, been a very positive experience. Space-wise it’s essentially a house & yard, rather than the typical warehouse type areas of other doggy daycares. We appreciate the fact that the owner, Mary Ellen, has been doing this a long time and is very hands-on – it’s good to know our pup’s with someone experienced & who really cares about both the animals & how things are run. She’s flexible and the whole process has been super easy. Price is pretty standard. Our dog is fairly high strung and at first she had a lot of anxiety about being left there. But after a little while she got over it, now it’s fun to watch her excitedly run to Mary Ellen & all her doggy friends in the morning. I think the daycare has actually helped out her maturation process. Mary Ellen sends video clips and/or photos during the day showing them playing & lounging around, which is fun for a doting dog parent like me. The pup comes home happy & tired. We just do part-time right now - to socialize Sylvie & keep her company while the humans work, also to create a familiarity in case we ever have to board her there sometime for travel. Highly recommended.

We love having our Sully with Mary Ellen. We never worry about him when he’s there. We use daycare and board with her when we are out of town. He is always excited to see her and she takes such good care of the pups in her care. Recommend her 110%.

Mary Ellen takes such good care of my baby, I never worry at all when she’s there. My dog was super timid before she started going about a year ago and now she’s so happy to go see her friends each time. Mary Ellen watches a nice variety of sizes and breeds, so she’s exposed to all kinds of dogs, which is helpful for the real world. I literally don’t know what I would do without her. We love Wag Along!

Mary Ellen is amazing, I’ve been trusting her with my dog for a while now. I recently used her for boarding, and she went above and beyond when taking care of my dog. I had to drop off my dog right after being injured and Marry Ellen took her with out hesitating. She gave her her meds and cared for her like I would have. She even sent me frequent updates and pictures to help ease my anxiety. I truly don’t think you will find a more caring pet sitter in the Portland area!

This place is so wonderful!!! We had an important medical appointment in Portland and found ourselves needing to find daycare at the last minute for our newly adopted pup. Tristan was able to adjust the staffing for the following morning in order to accommodate us. It made a huge difference for us to be able to attend our appointment and not have to worry about our sweet new furry family member. She was very well-taken care of and staff was super-friendly and helpful. We will definitely go back to this place whenever we need boarding or daycare in Portland. Thank you, Dog House staff!!

10 stars. My dogs 1st day went so well that his behavior the next day was excellent. I left him and told him to wait and omg for the 1st time he did not cry. Consistency is key here. They are so kind when mom needs a break from the puppy.

We love The Dog House. Our dog is always happy and exhausted after a day of playing with her best doggie friends and we're so happy to support a local small business. And right next to our vet! We also feel very welcome here, especially with our rescued mixed-breed girl. She has always been shy and The Dog House took the time to get to know her, and now she's a regular. Many thanks to TDH for giving our dog such great human and doggie friends!

I have to leave my dog at home for several hours due to my job, so I have a standing walk package with The Dog House and they do an amazing job. They make sure to accommodate to the schedule that I want, are flexible, treat my dog really well and don’t push his boundaries. They are also really good at communicating via email and prompt. I have also used their daycare and overnight boarding services, and haven’t had any issues. I would recommend them.

Friendly staff, a variety of goodies for the pups, and perfect location. Our two boys had a blast and were completely exhausted by the time we got home. They had no injuries or anything during their time here. We took our boys here while visiting PDX for the weekend. We dropped them off around 9-9:30 and picked them up around 5-5:30. We would gladly use them when returning to Portland.

Great place! They always have availability for daycare and boarding. The dogs love it and are very excited every time we go. They do a good job with baths and grooming if you need it. I request pics when I do add-on walks and I always get texted cute pics of my dogs being walked. Just fyi- there are no outdoor areas for the dogs, there are no live stream cameras. Sometimes the place smells strongly of dog urine (mixed with cleaning materials) but not all of the time, and I feel like that’s probably unavoidable? It has not worried me because my dogs always love the place and are very tired when they get home.

I’ve put off writing this review for awhile now, the staff is pretty friendly but I still think an honest review is fair. I moved to Portland in December and I thought this place was great, up until my dog was hurt and no one had notified me (picture attached). My dog is a WWE superstar. I know dogs can rough play and mine rough plays, what annoys me is that no one really ever gave me an indication of how she was hurt or the events leading up to it. I started going to a different daycare, and the difference is worth noting! This daycare never offered updates, whereas the other facility does. You can maybe catch something on their Instagram story but that’s about it. I was never really told if my dog had ate or not so I had to do a lot of guesswork with her diet. Am I over-feeding, under-feeding, lots of guesswork. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and resumed her services because, again I know my dog. She’s a rough player, I took her one last time. I had talked to the morning crew about her being a possible board for the night, it depended how early I was able to make it out of work. She said she’d make a note in the system. I picked up my dog that same day, the pay screen didn’t indicate how much my payment was and I paid. When I got home, I saw it had charged me for boarding and I called the facility, I believe Richard answered, he said he’d make a note and have the owner call/email to get a reimbursement. Never heard from them, it’s whatever. I know dog daycare isn’t for everyone, but if you’re like me and love seeing your dog socializing, there are much better places in Portland. Not a big fan of the giant room the dogs play in. I like that they do offer walks if your dog is staying and they do pickups in the neighborhood. I have a friend that goes there and she likes it, my review is just what I observed and my own experience. Staff is friendly but that’s about it.

Staff is great, really seemed to care about our dog's experience. The facility is clean and well maintained. Walking distance from OHSU. It's right next to a park where the staff take the dogs outside for walks and fresh air. Hourly and daily rates available.

They take wonderful care of our dog. We have been going with them for over 3.5 years. We take our dog there 2-4 days/week. They have great hours of operation and they also are air conditioned, which is very important on those very hot days. When you pick up your pup, they rub them down with wonderful herbal scents, so they don't have that " doggy daycare smell". They play all day with the dogs. Can't say enough great things. They are also priced well. The staff and owner are so nice and caring. Our dog LOVES going there. They also have grooming services on the premise, and there is a veterinarian clinic right next door-perfect. They also have boarding availability. Highly, highly recommended. Go check them out. We rate them 5+ stars because we have been to other doggy daycare businesses which don't come close.

My dog and I love The Dog House!! Daycare is the best way for my dog to burn off some crazy puppy energy. Since he's been going, I can tell that he has learned how to socialize with other dogs and I give lots of credit to the caring staff at The Dog House. He gets so excited to see his favorite staff members when we get there and always comes home happy and tired. I love that I can have him bathed there before I pick him up, too!

My wife took our dog (7lb Havanese) here for grooming. Excellent service. Thank you and we will definitely be back.

Regular customer. Pug nail dremmel, wonderful & friendly staff. My pug loves Evie ❤️ 💕 …

I have taken my dog in three times for a trim and they have done such a great job every time. My dog hates having her nails cut and they somehow manage to get it done. Staff is always friendly too. I'll definitely continue going back!

Not everyone feels comfortable when dogs are having physical contacts with them. So please have the leashes on when walking dogs please, especially in the parks that leashes are required. Think about more for other people and the community and follow the regulations and laws please.

Our pup Ezra loves Original Bark. He's always very excited to arrive for daycare and comes home very tired. The staff is great and always reports the daily feedback on how he did during his stay.

Original Bark is awesome! We have an anxious lab that took a little time to warm to daycare but now he loves it. He goes once or twice a week and pulls us to the door. It's heartwarming to check the webcam and see the attendants petting and playing with your dog...which they do a lot. We have also boarded our dog here while we were on vacation. He did great and was excited to return the next week for daycare.

The grooming is good and the staff are very kind and friendly but I can NEVER get someone on the phone. It's so frustrating. I have to call 5+ times in order to get my appointment. Please please please have someone dedicated to running the front desk! I want to keep taking my dog here but the phone tag is exhausting and I'm just about ready to give up.

Original Bark has been a great resource for our dog. Their service and attention to detail keeps her/us returning over the years. We strongly recommend them to anyone looking for the best care and grooming around.

Used the nail trim services and it was wonderful. My doggo is a rescue and is pretty dog reactive. The staff was so kind and made time to see him the same day during lunch so that the grooming room would be empty. I took a gander at one of the dog play areas and everyone looked happy. There was a staff member inside playing and caring for doggos that are clearly more human inclined, and the rest were happy sniffing and woofing around!

I had a very unfortunate visit at Original /Central Bark today. We regularly take our 2 year old Golden Retriever here to bath her ourselves. A couple of weeks ago we scheduled a visit with a groomer for today. It wasn’t the typical groomer. We clearly stated when we scheduled that she was skittish with all grooming and they told us no problem. Long story short they washed and half dried her but said they didn’t feel safe finishing. I offered to come back and work with them as it was new for her. They said sure. 5 minutes before I arrived back they called and said they wouldn’t work with me and try that. When I arrived the groomer had “stepped out” although I was expected. They wouldn’t try to work with me and they charged me for a wash and groom they didn’t provide. I understand that even if we had worked together it may have not been a great groom but something better than nothing. I would have appreciated the customer service I expected. I told them we wouldn’t be coming back. The receptionist and groomer seemed very young and inexperienced. Obviously not experienced working with the public.

I am so thrilled with BarkZone! I don’t normally do reviews, but they are just so amazing that I have to give them a shout out. My dog loves going there! The things I appreciate most about them are the drop-in availability (so convenient!!), ability to board my dog at the same place he goes for day services, the extra services like grooming or add-ons (brushing and treats for example) during boarding, being able to occasionally spy on him when I’m missing him via the live cameras on the website, and the friendly staff! I am so appreciate of your business model and services. My dog always comes home happy (and tired) when he spends time at BarkZone Thank you for being a place my sweet pup loves to go!

My dog loves it here. He typically does two days during the work week to break up the week. He's usually pretty chill the days following his visits after playing all day. I appreciate that I can check in via the cameras and see him playing and having fun with the friends he has made. We haven't done summer days yet and I have not been able to watch them play outside, so I'm reserving a star. Overall, it's a nice option to have. I appreciate they do the temperament tests and seem to keep a pretty good eye on the dynamics with the dogs present. Would recommend.

Barkzone was so good with my little mini Schnauzer as she was a little timid being new kid on the block. The staff was sensitive and attentive to her care and were patient with her need to ease into the scene. I love being able to see her on the web cams, and anytime I had a question they are quick to respond!!! Plus, she got a wonderfully grooming from Sergio (mobile groomer) Thank you Barkzone!!!🐾🐾

We have been taking our pooches here for a while now, and it’s def our top choice! Staff is caring, understanding, and responsive; they also have webcams available. It’s reassuring to have a place we trust and love for our boys when we are out of town. P.S., thank you for the sweet and thoughtful birthday card and email for our birthday girl!

My cowboy corgi, Ivy Mae, is almost 3yrs old. She has been a regular at the Montavilla BarkZone for the last 2 years. I drop her off approx 8am and pick her up at 4:00 pm, 1-2 x a week. All I have to say is “wanna go to Barkzone?” and she can barely wait to get together with her extended family of staff and other “kids” spending time there. She LOVES BZ and the staff has been exceptionally kind & supportive & because of that, Ivy is people and dog socialized. I’m so glad to have found my way to Barkzone, Maddie and her EXCELLENT staff. Thanks BZ! (She’s the one in the middle of the room on her back)

Great people, great value. Cameras so you can check in on your sweet doggies! My super hyperactive puppy gets socialization and the perfect amount of activity to allow him to relax with us in the evenings. We could not be happier with these wonderful people!

Our princess Romy is almost 3 years old, and has been a regular at Barkzone Montavilla for the past 2 years. She is all tail wags when we drop her off at BZ. The team always welcomes her with love and care and it’s clear my girl loves to be there. At pickup, we enjoy hearing about the new friends made that day. It’s incredibly reassuring to know that we have a place to take our baby girl and know that she will be in such great hands. We highly recommend Barkzone Montavilla to anyone looking for a top notch doggie day care!

I’ve been taking my beloved Sunbeam to be groomed at BarkZone for a few years. She is almost 16 years old and I wouldn’t trust anyone but Jessica to groom her. Jessica shows such love and care. She is amazing ❤️

I enjoy coming to work each day and seeing all the happy dog smiles! It really makes my day when a client tells me they are happy to see their dog loves us and loves coming to daycare. A day full of dog kisses is always a plus!

Drop off was great and they l listened to information about my dog and what I was looking for. Sweetie is very old, a little nervous and almost deaf and blind. They treated her with care, and Sweetie looked great and seemed happy when I picked her up. Checkout was quick and they gave a short report of how she did. Price was reasonable. Thank you so much! Everyone was friendly and professional.

I LOVE this place! The little welcoming area doesn't even begin to allow you to understand just how great it is. I took my 1year old Frenchie who has never been in this type of environment. For $5 i get an update each day to see how she was playing, anything information important to know and the report card is just such an incredible offer. The humans who work there are so attentive and supportive to the pups. They are very kind when you engage with them in any form. The prices are beyond reasonable. The place is so much bigger for the dogs and has so many little offerings you can purchase. The boarding is free roam no crates. My girl comes home so pooped out and happy that she has a place to play and board if I go out of town. I have zero complaints and highly recommend!!

We've been taking our 9 month old puppy here for a few months now and we love it (and so does he!). The staff is super friendly and very clearly care a LOT about the dogs that go to them. I love love love the daily Instagram posts, I get more excited to see what he's doing at daycare than I think I ever was about my human kids at daycare (kidding. Or am I?). Webster gets SO excited when we get there, and I can tell that he loves it and loves the humans there. Also their hours are so convenient, and love that they offer kennel-free boarding.

Wooftastic is one of the best things to happen to us since moving here. Our girl has a lot of energy and this place has made a home for her there when she needs time to run around and be a crazy little lady. We always feel that she is so well taken care of, we love their no crate boarding, which is what she was used to. Everyone is kind and attentive and we would recommend this place to anyone who has a doggy that needs daycare or boarding.

Fern loves going to daycare. The way they run scheduling, pick up and drop off, and payment makes everything super smooth. Staff is very friendly and always makes sure to ask if he has food with him and reminds me to grab his container at the end of the day. Also love the convenient hours 6am-9pm, 7 days a week as well as a good price point. They post all of the dogs everyday so you can check in on your pup they also offer extras like treats and walks and do fun activities like bubbles, aromatherapy, nose balm. Overall great place definitely would recommend.

We've been lucky enough to send our precious dog Georgia to Wooftastic for the past 8 months. They've always been so nice and welcoming when we pick and drop her off. They have great hours and rates. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in search of a good doggy daycare.

I am so happy and grateful to have found Woof-Tastic for my pup, Maya! I have been SO impressed with the kindness of the staff, their communication, and care. The environment is bright and fun and just matches what you read and see online. And I can tell Maya, although still a little timid and shy, is warming up, feeling safe, and having a great time! I feel so relieved and can not reccomend Woof-Tastic enough! <3

My sweet Ruby is always so excited to go to daycare. The team there takes such good care of her and I never have to worry while I’m away. She comes home happy & exhausted. 10/10 would recommend!

I’ll let my dog’s smile speak for itself. I’m so happy we found Woof-Tastic! The flexible booking system is easy, and I feel my dog is safe with them which is important. My girl got so excited to go on her 2nd day that she couldn’t wait to say goodbye and go see her friends. The rates are more than fair, which is a big plus. 10/10.

We absolutely LOVE Wooftastic Playhouse! Our dog has so much fun there. He is safe and well loved. They post pictures of all the dogs to their Instagram each day, which I love! There's no other place that I've felt as confident boarding my pup. I highly recommend them!!!

This has been the best daycare for tater. He loves it. No hesitation to go in. He plays and runs with the others. Very happy compared to the last daycare he was at. Thank u

My dog Pilot has been coming to the Raleigh Hills location for about 2 months. He is a rescue dog and I think he is afraid I am abandoning him when I leave him somewhere new. We started slow and the staff were wonderful making him feel comfortable. Now he loves coming to play and starts freaking out when we pull into the parking lot. I think Pilot enjoys the staff more than the dogs and I appreciate how much they cuddle and love on him. Highly recommend for daycare.

Our dog is a little shy but has always had good experiences at Original Bark. The workers seem to really like dogs. There are a couple of rooms so the dogs have room to spread out if they need a little less stimulation. We also love the webcam so we can check in on our dog during the day. We've never had problems with aggressive dogs. The hours are very convenient for what we need. Would recommend Original Bark to people looking for a relatively relaxed place to bring your dog during the day.

Just left our scheduled temperament check. Extremely disappointed with the service and overall experience. 1st we were punched in the face by an overwhelming dog urine and feces smell. After that, the person behind the counter said hello and acknowledged they received our records. From there he stood up and started walking towards the back, and so we followed. He had to stop us and tell us it would be just him for this part. There was no introduction, there was no formalities, no run-through of what to expect. After we were stopped from entering the back room, I had to ask for him to explain how things worked. Again, there was no introduction to us, no intro to the dog, no mood check in or anything, just straight to the back with a stranger. So of course, our 8 mo old dog didn’t do so hot in the high stress environment. And we were all happy to go our separate ways. Here’s my takeaway, I get hiring people is tough. But there are certain positions that just require a tiny bit more than the bare minimum. Had a good introduction been made and this person spent time to say hello and make our dog comfortable BEFORE dumping all that stress on her, things probably would have gone different. I don’t recommend anyone bringing their dogs here based on the amount of care and attention we received for 12 min. Can’t imagine leaving something I care about there for any longer.

As a Canadian who often travels to Portland to visit family and friends, I couldn’t be happier to have found Original Bark! The staff at Original Bark were beyond helpful with answering all of my questions and helped assure me that their facility would take great care of my pup while he was there. The staff are so caring, friendly, and kind, the facility is clean and spacious, and access to the webcams to check in with your pup was easy to navigate and use. I will definitely be using Original Bark again the next time I visit Portland and would definitely recommend them!

Original Bark is the best boarding facility we’ve ever used. We’ve taken our dogs now for multiple years, and this last time our dog had some health complications and they went above and beyond taking her to normal vet multiples and making sure she felt loved and was well taken care of. We could not ask for more and are so thankful to have the Original Bark team to take care of our dogs while we travel. We are especially thankful to Gabi who kept us in the loop.

I am so impressed with this place. I had to board my dog unexpectedly after just relocating to the area. My dog is super anxious so I was hesitant to board her at a new place without first acclimating her. I didn't see her on the webcam much the first day or two, so I checked in with the staff there. They quickly responded with a long and thoughtful message about behavior patterns they had observed with my dog, and all the things they were doing to make her more comfortable. I didn't ask for this, but they continued to send me updates throughout her stay. I also began to see my dog warm up to the staff and go up to them for pets. This really says a lot because it takes her a long time to trust people and feel safe in new environments. I didn't feel that she was just doing "okay" there, but actually thriving. I can't recommend Original Bark enough!

Original Bark Oleson Rd is the best. Wonderfully tolerant staff for my rambunctious Lab who is a complete clown, flexible drop off and pick up times, fair rates, and even personalized invites to pool parties. He falls asleep in the car on the way home every time.

My high energy terrier had a great experience at Original Bark. They do a temperment assessment to ensure the dog will socialize and play with with the other dogs. Fortunately my dog passed and spent a fun afternoon getting tired out in daycare. They also provide a short report at the end of the day and have nest video cams if you want to check in on the action. Will be going back from time to time and boarding in October for a couple days. It's not cheap by any stretch, but on par with other higher rated day care and kennels in the Beaverton, Hillsboro, Portland area.

My dog is shy, but because of this dog community, he is so much better dealing with other dogs. Thank you:)

Original Bark has been a lifesaver while working from home. The staff seem to truly love dogs. 4 stars because I wish there was an outside area to pee and I wish more was done to encourage active play. My dog seems to just sniff butts and nap.

We go to LexiDog for Krissy. She is the best groomer and cares so much for our dogs. We have 2 Bernese mountain dogs and a leonberger and they always come out floofy and happy.

Krissy does a fabulous job grooming Wonton and Porter. She cuts their ears to the leather so they don't get wet from the water bowl, and they always smell great! So handsome!

My dog loves coming for daycare and we love the daily report card. Grooming services are reasonably priced and earns our pup lots of compliments at the park.

I have been taking my dog to Lexidog for eight years and highly recommend them. I use daycare, grooming and boarding and have never had anything but good experiences during all this time. My dog loves it there. The attendants and groomers are so loving and skillful in working with the dogs. Your dog will have to pass an assessment to assure compatibility with the current canines. I’m retired now and don’t really need to take Elsa in very often but do anyway several times weekly, because the exercise and socialization are so good for her.

Super friendly staff and they always have availability when I need last minute grooming

Misty is AMAZING! My daughter has a Pomeranian who has anxiety attacks around people he doesn't know well. She's been able to cut right on through his little walls. :) Thank you for being Amazing, Misty :) By the way - Chaz died a couple months ago. We are still sad about it but he's in a better place and Misty made him feel better toward the end of life and we appreciate her.

LexiDog in Lake Oswego is one of the best doggie daycare, boarding, and grooming facilities we have ever taken our chocolate lab too. When we first moved to the Portland area we needed to find a regular place for daycare, grooming and boarding for our pup. LexiDog has been amazing, caring, and accommodating to our pup every time. All of their staff are truly amazing and love all the dogs.

They took 3 hours to groom our dog and when we came back we saw the daycare guy on video making rounds spraying dogs in the face. The front desk said the spraying was to get the dogs to stop barking but his presence seemed to be causing barking. Everything I know about face spraying is it is cruel. I wouldn’t trust them with my dog again.

This is such an awesome place to take your dogs to! I love the staff and I feel comfortable leaving my puppy there for training/play time. Amanda is a great trainer and I can tell that she really cares about the dogs there. I don’t know everyone else’s name, but the rest of staff is friendly and super knowledgeable! Calcifer LOVES being there and looks forward to his Monday visits.

Cute place that's super clean, an amazing little store full of dog related products! Super friendly groomers and what a great job! Fun in the doggy daycare includes both an exciting play side and a calm side for older or smaller more cuddly dogs ❤
