Cat Sitters in Buckheaven, OR

Great staff and excellent care for our fur babies. They treat them like their nieces and nephews! Very secure with double security latching and pets always on lead when moving around the property. They take care of everything. The add-ons are a real bonus for the pups who are rambunctious and playful.

we have two dogs that can be very tough to deal with are not particularly social, old and don’t really like unfamiliar people. It can be hard to find somewhere that will take them and care for them when they’re Such grumpy old men. Laurel acres is always happy to take them not worried about their attitudes and cares for them. This is one of the only places we trust with our tough little guys.

We visited here before bringing our kitty, because we had never left her anywhere but at home, but she needed medication while we were out of town. The employees were so sweet and let us take a look at the cat room, which made me feel SO MUCH better about leaving her. Just brought her home, and she is her silly self with not a care in the world haha. We will likely be back again!

Sookie was a 1st timer at almost 15. She’d never been to a boarder. The Cattery was clean, quiet & I know she was kept healthy & well cared for. Plus, she had food she had to have medicine in & that was no problem for them. I can’t say enough good things about Megan. She was an angel! She made my request of the bottom floor happen and did many other things to alleviate my fear and worry. The only mar was the weekend woman who checked us out. She was rude & abrasive. Wish I’d gotten her name, but I was a wreck because she wouldn’t let me see Sookie.

We had a last minute first time visit the staff was extremely helpful. Juni is an Australian cattle. Loves to herd.She did great.

I always take my dog here when we go out of town. Convenient hours, my dog is happy with no issues, easy to book boarding online, and workers are friendly.

Can't recommend them enough. My boy Stevie needs a little extra care, and wears a muzzle in public. I don't have to worry when he's at Laurel Acres. All of the handlers there are qualified and trained. They are also very responsive and give me sweet pictures of my boy when I'm away!

Laurel Acre is amazing. I've been boarding my dogs here for several years every time we went on vacation. My dogs are always taken good care of. They alway come back to me happy and healthy. I would highly recommend their service to other pet parents.

My pets are always excited when I bring them here! They pay attention to how our pets are doing and have given us a call when there are any issues that are medically significant. They have stayed there for up to two weeks and were in great spirits when I came to pick them up! It is a good bit of a drive out in the sticks for either location but in my opinion it’s worth the trip.

They did an amazing job with my Roxanne, very friendly when I arrived She had me answer a few questions as she made a record. Then I went and got my dog came in and they took her back. And called me when she was ready in about an hour or so awesome place. Thank you Kristen

We could not be happier with Mountain Top. The care that our dog receives while he is staying there is of the highest quality. The facilities are pristine and the outdoor space is large, safe, and clean. It is so calming to know that our dog is going to get personalized care and tons of outdoor/playtime while he is there. The owners are both so kind and easy to communicate with. Simply put, Mountain Top is the best.

Best of the best. We would not take our dog anywhere else. We were recommended to them by our trainer who has very high standards for dog care. Kathy and Jeff treat our dog with kindness and she is always so excited to see them. Its great knowing we are leaving her with people she trusts and respects. It’s also great to know she is under the care of a vet. We drive here from Portland, a long ways but well worth it.

I have used Mt Top Kennels for years and I can’t imagine leaving my dog, Sadie, anywhere else. I know she will get the best care and most love of anywhere. Kathy and Jeff are the owners. Kathy is a licensed veterinarian and I trust her implicitly to stay on top of any health issues that might arise. Jeff always acts happy to see Sadie and she adores both of them. This is a premium dog boarding facility and I strongly recommend them for boarding your dog!

This place is great. My German Shepherd just spent 9 days here and loved it. The staff did an amazing job of caring for my dog. I was able to tour the facility before leaving my dog here and got to see how she would be treated. The campus has many areas for the dogs to play and run around and the kennels were clean and well kept. The staff is kind, patient, and very observant on how the dogs are interacting and getting along. Also, on a side note, they do not nickel and dime you on extra restroom breaks or giving your dog medicine or extra care. They charged a fair flat rate and that rate gets your dog many restroom breaks and the care it needs. I will be using them every time I have to go out of town and can't recommend them enough. If you live in Portland and need to leave your dogs at a kennel, leave them here. They will get the care and kindness they deserve.

Mountain Top is the absolute best place we have ever taken our dogs. They love them like their own. They go above and beyond, and we so appreciate not worrying about our dogs while we are on vacation!

This is the only boarding place we fully trust our dog with. They give her care and attention without added fees or stipulations. The owner is a trained vet and has our permission to administer aid if an emergency came up (which is fantastic that she would be able to do so). They have multiple large fully fenced in areas for dogs to run around and play in. They also watch and get to know the dogs to see how they'll interact, putting them in runs with other dogs who would play well with them. The outside time is balanced with time in their individual indoor/outdoor runs so the dogs don't wear themselves out too much, critical for our Aussie with a strong herding drive.

Kathy was very welcoming. This is the first time we've boarded our dog and she answered every question and assured us we could check on our girl whenever we wanted. Facility was excellent. Really happy with the space she'll have to run!

Great facility!! My dogs love staying here and I love knowing that they are being taken care of by top notch people. One of my dogs can be very temperamental, but the owners do so well with him . I don't take my dogs anywhere else.

We have been bring our 2 dogs here for over a year now and have been very happy. The caretaker is a former veteranarian and is always very friendly and looking after our dogs. They spend a lot of time outside with other dogs and always come home tired. And they always act excited when we go back.

Every time we bring our boys here we know they are in good hands. Kathy and Jeff treat each dog like their own and it gives such peace of mind that while we are away they are getting the best care and attention.

Left my 11 month old puppy with them for 5 nights & she came home with kennel cough, among other things. Could not get ahold of anybody for the first 4 days. This was her first (& last) time staying there & she has some anxiety so I wanted to make sure she was doing okay. Called multiple times everyday, left voicemails, emailed & even tried sending a message through their website. No response until the day before I came to pick her up. When I did, she reeked of urine and her coat was greasy where she had clearly laid in urine & was not cleaned up (who knows how many times?) First staff member that I interacted with when I dropped her off was completely unknowledgable abt anything having to do with boarding. Gave me a card to email for updates, however the staff member I spoke to when I picked her up gave me completely contradicting information than the first. She also completely ignored my concern & complaint of being unable to reach anybody abt the wellbeing of my dog for 4 days. Simply replied that I used the wrong email & to use the correct one next time. My dog started coughing & hacking horrendously after I brought her home & given her a bath. They never mentioned anything abt them having any issues or concerns of kennel cough at their facility but she did in fact come home with it. Immediately took her to the vet & a $250+ bill later .. she's on 10 days of antibiotics for kennel cough & a suspected bladder infection. The facility itself reeks & seems like there is little to no sanitary practices used or standards upheld. Extremely disappointed in their facility, their lack of professionalism & care for clients and their pets.

Our dog spends a couple of days per week at Pawsitively Playful in Newberg. We love the staff and owner and they seem to really love our dog. Richard keeps high quality dog food and pet accessories in the shop too which saves us a drive sometimes. I highly recommend this doggie daycare and boarding. Enjoy holiday pet photos and participation in Newberg’s Old Fashioned Festival parade!

Very friendly an positive wonderful peaple an correlated to doggie owner's.we adopted a wonderful little mix breed thats taken a shine to us very quickly an gets along great with our cat an 5 month old dachshund an absolutely loves his new yard.we highly recommend these ladys for a adoption and doggie day care they do a wonderful job. Thanks so very much Pawsitively Playful.Great experience definitely recommend them to anyone looking to adopt or have your doggie watched for the day.***** A++++++

We were looking to add to our family and found our little girl at Pawsitively Saved Rescue. Meet Ryley, Richard saved her from a bad situation and now she has her forever home with her guy Jake. Please adopt or donate from these wonderful people.

Owner and operator is very friendly and good with dogs. I have my pup enrolled in the class and even though she is a bit of a trouble maker the owner handles her well. Group sessions are small and seem to still cater to the individual need of each dog. They sell additional services and products other than training, and it is nice because it is there if you need it but they never try to push it on you. Would recommend for new dog owners and veterans alike.

They always take such great care of my little Chi "Baby".Richard is kind and very patient with nervous dog mom's. The facility is well organized and clean. My little girl has special needs and they meet them with love. I highly recommend them.

I highly recommend this place for your doggy day care and overnight stay. In lieu of places where dogs are kept separately in crates, Pawsitivity Playful dogs are allowed to play with one another. They do have crates where dogs sleep at night, eat and recharge. Richard who is the owner treats my adult puppies with dignity and respect. Because of the positive atmosphere there, my pups would rather go there than play in the yard. 😁

Our pup Kenickie loves going to doggy daycare here!! Such a great way to burn out some extra energy during the week when we're busy, he always comes home ready to crash for the next couple of hours. All the employees are super awesome and take great care of the dogs. They've also always been super flexible when we need last minute puppy playtime day or boarding. And the prices are the best around!

Love this place!! What a treat for our dogs! The owners Richard and Merissa are absolute treasures. They are so tender and accommodating with all the dogs. Their facility is set up with the dog's needs in mind. That's not all folks! There is a professional groomer on site too, Pampered Pooch Grooming. The groomer Nicole is a miracle worker!! You won't be disappointed.

We had a good experience taking our dogs in to be groomed. Until the next day when our dogs began to cough and sneeze. After a trip to the vet we discovered they had Kennel Cough which they contracted at the groomers. I understand this is not 100% avoidable with so many dogs. However when we called to let them know, we were not giving an apology or any reassurance that additional sanitation methods would be taken in the future. The grooming was good, but it is not worth it when it comes to the safety and health of our pets.

I had a week long vacation out of the country and was very thrilled when I found Lori! I have never left my bunny with someone before for that long and was super nervous. Lori made me feel much better about the whole process by giving me access to the bunny room camera and her extensive knowledge on rabbits. I got to check on my little guy the whole time I was gone! Will definitely use Whisker Wise boarding the next time I’m out of town!

My three guinea pigs are very spoiled and precious to me, so it’s hard for me to leave them when we go out of town. I am so glad to have found Whisker Wise! Lori takes excellent care of my girls and responds readily to texts when I inquire about how they’re doing. They stayed with her for over two weeks this summer while we were visiting family and upon picking them up I could see they were happy and healthy (no lost weight, which happened at a previous place we boarded them at). She even gives them fresh veggies/tomatoes from her garden! Definitely recommend Whisker Wise. :)

Our guinea pigs Teddy and Domino were very well cared-for during our week and half away this month. The owner is super responsive to texts, understanding and responsible, and even sent us a cute video of our babies. :) Would definitely use again! Oh, and it was super affordable too!

Whisker Wise watched my two bonded English Lop Rabbits for about 17 days. Lori did such a good and attentive job in caring for them! They seem healthy and happy as can be. I also really enjoyed that Whisker Wise Animal Care and Boarding has cameras set up over the rabbit areas so you can check in on your rabbit at any time. Lori is also extremely kind and definitely cares about the animals themselves. When my rabbits ran out of a supplement/treat Lori went out and bought some more. I would definitely leave my Rabbits with Whisker Wise again!

When I went out of town for a week I was glad to find a place like whisker wise and someone like Lori to take care of my bunny. I've never boarded her before so I was a little apprehensive, but Lori assured me she would be very well cared for. She even offered to place her in a pen with a camera. It was so nice to see her on video whenever I wanted so I could check up on her and be able to move the camera around to see who she was rooming next to.The size of the pen looked very spacious and nicely set up with blankets. I would very much recommend Whisker Wise for any of your pocket pets and will definitely be using them again in the future!

I love Whisker Wise Animal Care & Boarding! Lori is absolutely wonderful and takes such good care of my rabbit. I never have to worry about him when I go out of town. She gives him the attention he needs and gives me updates on how he is doing. The setup she provides for rabbits is really nice and big. I used to board my bunny with my veterinarian, but I much prefer Whisker Wise. I have no reason to ever go to another boarder again!

Lori takes amazing care with the animals she watches. I was anxious to leave my newly adopted bunny for a week, but when I came back my sweet Maggie was even tamer than before! She has an amazing set up for bunnies (super cool modified room!) with toys and boxes and even little sitting pads for the bunns. She's super flexible about pick up and drop off and is very kind! She is awesome! Definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience! Our senior bunny was well cared for during the 10 days we were out of town, and I loved being able to check on her via webcam. We will definitely be booking again the next time we go on a trip!

Having recently moved to the area, we were a little nervous with finding a new place to have our rabbits stay while we were out of town. Lori was great to talk to and put me at ease- additionally having a camera where we could view our buns to check in on them was a huge plus as well! Benny and Jasper were well taken care of during their stay over the New Year's holiday. Definitely will be bringing our buns here in the future for boarding. Thank you Lori!

Lori took in my bunnies at the last minute because I lost power. She was super kind and helpful! She was flexible and attentive. I know my kids were well taken care of. I definitely recommend her and will go back to her in the future.

We highly recommend Ginger Matyas for pet walking and sitting services! For the past couple of years, Ginger has cared for our beloved 12-year-old Labrador, Cash. It's clear how much Cash adores Ginger through her enthusiastic greetings her upon arrival. We are particularly grateful for Ginger's attentive care, especially with Cash's recent health issues. From administering medication to tailoring her walks and providing updates after each visit, Ginger's thoughtful and expert care is so appreciated. Photo credit to Ginger Matyas.

Ginger is the cat whisperer! Having hired other pet sitters, I did not expect the level of care, and play Ginger gave to my babies. Highly recommend!

Ginger is the best! I have 2 cats, one of them needs medications once a day. She is so loving and caring with them, and they love the "catnip parties". Having the peace of mind that they are well cared for while I'm out is priceless. I strongly recommend her services.

Ginger watched our dog Ellie, which is no small feat. Ellie is an extremely active cattle dog who demands activity. Ginger was up to the task and they fell in love with each other. Ginger is so caring and kind with animals it is really a beautiful sight to see. She really connects with all animals. Ellie was happy and well cared for and we have used Ginger numerous times since then. Ginger is the BEST!!

I want to give a huge shout out to Ginger Matyas. We have been using her to watch our two kitties in Manzanita for a few years. Ginger is a true gem! She takes great care of our kitties and lavishes them with attention. She takes and sends the best photos too! Your fur babies will love her!

Ginger is absolutely wonderful! She loves cats and knows how to give them exactly the attention they need while we're away. Our cat is very shy but Ginger was patient with him and now he comes out to play with her, which is very rare for him. She has also given us great advice and resources. She's prompt, kind, communicative, and great with cats. Couldn't recommend her more highly!

Ginger is the absolute best! She goes above and beyond for not only our cat, but for us and our home as well. We receive updates every visit which keeps us at ease, as we have an extremely shy boy. He finally opened up to her, which is a testament to her knowledge, skills and patience - now he loves when she stops by! Ginger is also more than just a cat sitter - as first time cat owners, she's provides great tips, from toys and treats to vet recommendations. Could not recommend her enough!

I knew my cat would be well taken care of after meeting Ginger. She is fantastic at what she does and is truly passionate about taking care of fur babies. I can’t recommend Ginger enough. You’ll get all the pictures and videos you need to feel better about being away. And she has great recommendations for pets supplies in the area.

All I can say is WOW - Ginger was amazing with my 2 cats when I had to go out of town. I am new to Portland and was nervous about finding someone to have come watch my cats for me in my home while I took my first trip out of town. I now have no qualms about future trips because I know my cats will be in great hands with Ginger and her team every time. She brought over toys and played with them and sent pictures/videos every day which was so great. I would 1000% recommend Ginger to anyone needing to find someone to trust their fur babies with!

Ginger has been taking care of my two cats for over two years and she is great! I have an 18 year old cat with early kidney disease and an 8 year old who is frightened of everything after being rescued by firefighters when my condo building had a fire in 2017. Ginger is patient with him and eventually gets him to come out from under my bed covers. My older cat just loves her and climbs all over her. During my last two week trip she came twice a day as it’s important for my older cat to eat regularly. She updated me with photos and videos, easing my anxiety at leaving them for so long. I totally recommend Ginger.

Love love LOVE Camp Kiss-a-Pet! My dogs get SOO excited when we are driving up the road to them - we no longer say our dogs are at the kennel, we say they are at their own vacation 😁 …

Our dog loved her stay (I think) and we appreciated the rural setting and veterinarian owner being on site

Kris does such a great job making sure my doggie is comfy and happy while I'm away. She really cares for all the animals.

Our dogs have stayed several times and have loved it.

Awesome atmosphere, owner is amazing, animals are well loved.

My pups loved it here!!

The Grand Fur Lodge has a team of incredible and caring people. We had an unfortunate experience with a sitter over our holiday vacation and ended up getting him transferred here to the Grand Fur Lodge. I can't say enough about how incredible everyone here was throughout the process. They made the process as stressless as possible and you can tell they genuinely care about you and your animals. Can't thank them enough for giving us the peace of mind of knowing our fur baby, Mac was being taken care of well while we were away. Highly, highly recommend and will absolutely be using the Grand Fur Lodge to watch our baby again if we ever leave town.

Our dog has been attending day care here for about a month now, and is LOVING it! He excitedly whines in the car on the way and runs in as soon as we get to the door. The staff have all been amazing, and we feel really great about leaving Cairo here with them. It has been great for our pup to run off his energy a few days a week since both of us work from home.

Update 5/29/2024 - I just wanted to add on that we love absolutely everything about Grand Fur Lodge, not just the grooming! Dutch has also gone for daycare, boarding, and even one of their month group training sessions. He absolutely loves all the staff there. I really appreciate that the staff has a mind toward dog behavior and training. They make him behave as much, if not more, than we do at home. All of the staff supports our training efforts toward Dutch having to be calm before he can go say hi to someone, or that he has to wait before he goes through a door (which can be work with an energetic doodle!). Most doggie places that I've worked with in the past don't work on training with boarding/daycare clients at all! We are moving out of the area and will really miss Grand Fur Lodge! We love Grand Fur Lodge! Our pup, Dutch, is always so excited for his grooming appointments and comes home looking and smelling great. All of the staff is super nice and prices are reasonable! Highly recommend.

The Grand Fur Lodge has been nothing but a blessing to me. It almost seems wrong to share because I want them all to myself :) I moved here a few months ago after living in the same town for ten years. My dogs went to a doggy daycare there that they loved, but that was the only one they had ever been to. Needless to say, I was so nervous to start them somewhere new. The staff of The Grand Fur Lodge made it the easiest, most heartfelt transition ever. They kept a close eye on my dogs and how they were with new dogs and a new location. They were and still are patient with them, love on them constantly, work with them, and ensure their safety and health. Their customer service with humans is also outstanding! Very communicative, educational, and just flat out sweet people. 10/10 will continue with this facility as long as I’m here!!

Our three pups had a wonderful first boarding experience with Grand Fur Lodge! They were great about giving updates and answering questions while we were out of town and were extremely accommodating for our dogs needs!

I brought my Mini Aussie here and they did a wonderful job grooming him! He was happy and not nervous at all when we came back to pick him up. I recommend their services!

Our pups are so shy and have had a difficult time making puppy friends. However, the team at Grand Fur has been working closely with our fur babes to increase their confidence and courage so that they are beginning to feel more at ease around their puppy peers. Penny and Leonard enter daycare with their ears and tails perked up and at the end of the day, come racing out with smiles on their faces, bouncing , prancing, and happy to have spent the day being active. Thank you GFL Staff!

Adam is a fantastic trainer. In just a few sessions, I have already noticed a big change with our headstrong rescue pup. Rather than quickly teaching him basic commands, Adam is taking the time to go at our pace. He is teaching me how a dog's mind works, how to read his body language and training me on how to be an owner of a rescue with challenges. Highly recommend.

Always working hard to keep the place clean, they never fail to have all the dogs being able to play with each other; especially the shy ones. This is the place to bring your pup if your looking for a calm, controlled place where your pups can run out that energy and be a dog

We have had really good experiences with GFL. They really work hard to make a safe and fun experience for pets, and we have our pup in once a week and the staff are all really nice. Would recommend

A dog’s hide-a-way is the perfect place for a safe and healthy outdoor environment for your pup. Dogs run free through woods and streams, and some easy obstacles for their exercise and mental stimulation. There are always plenty of humans in the vicinity of the dogs to insure the safety of the pups. They are a very professional and caring staff. If you want a safe and healthy outdoor environment for your dog, this is the place for you. Our family likes A Dog’s hide-a-way better than the indoor and crated experience of other day care businesses.

This was our first time leaving our family dog Mochi for boarding care, so we were a little bit nervous about it at first. But after meeting the kind staff, seeing the location in person, and having flexible boarding options made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Mochi had such a good time and we cannot express how happy we were knowing she was in such great hands! We also really appreciated all the updates that we received. We cannot wait to continue to bring her here!

We recently moved. My poor dog has had the worst separation anxiety. I couldn’t go anywhere without him. But it was getting to my mental health as well. We are only on day 2, but this has been a godsend. He is sleeping through the night. He's not clinging to me. He is finding peace. I am finding peace knowing that he is being taken care of when i'm working. I could cry just talking about the relief this place has given our little family. Update: we are on week 2. He was an escape artist. And I thought they would kick him out. But they actually found ways to keep him safe. And he is doing so good! And when we are home, he is getting more independent. I can’t thank these people enough. This place deserves 10 stars!!!

AMAZING! The property is great, lots of opportunity for running, climbing, and playing in the creek. The staff is super friendly and engaged with all of the dogs, and I love that they post tons of pics and videos on the Instagram page. They are super responsive to text messages, and often include a photo update!

We highly recommend A Dog's Hide-A-Way for both doggie daycare and boarding! We've been taking our dog here for a few years, and she absolutely adores the staff. We know she's in good hands here. The vast outdoor space allows her to run to her heart's content and the indoor areas are great for extreme weather days.

I can't think Karen and her staff enough for having our dog Mali for 3 days. From the meet and greet, to the staff, to knowing that Mali would be safe. She was able to sleep inside and I know she had fun, because she came home exhausted. I would not hesitate to board your pup here, it was an excellent experience from start to finish. Thank you so much.

The best doggy daycare in town! This place is truly special. With more space to run around and play than a dog could dream of and the nicest owners/staff. Gary and Karen truly care about the well being of the dogs and go above and beyond for them. My little Barry goes there for daycare and I’ve boarded him as well. They’re so generous with their home, allowing him to sleep in the house and cuddle when he’s anxious. I cannot recommend this place enough! Your pups will be in great hands at A Dog’s Hide-A-Way.

My dog loves attending daycare and comes home sooo tired. The staff is friendly and easy to get a hold of if I have questions and they consistently update their IG daily, which I love because I get to see what my girl is up to. I haven’t utilized their boarding services but have had such a great experience with daycare that I plan on boarding in the near future. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun environment for their dog!

This is a great place for your dog (s). Pristine clean asphalt paths over 5 acres with fun and engaging things for your pup to do. Whether it be always supervised swimming in the creek or pond, climbing over large logs, crossing over a fun bridge complete with a tunnel, digging in dedicated areas, your dog will never be bored! When you pick up your dog they will sleep for days because they are so tired! There's even a large dog washing tub to bathe your dog when they leave.

If my dog Maggie could write this review, she would say that A Dog's Hide-a-way is her favorite place in the world. She loves going to play for a day and staying overnight. She thinks Gary and Karen could not possibly have done a better job creating the ultimate daycare and boarding for dogs. And all her human friends who work there deserve huge kisses. So thankful to have discovered this place!
