Dog Sitters in Firwood, OR

I cannot recommend Laura’s dog sitting services enough! We have used her a few times now and just picked our two pups up the other day after leaving them in her care for two weeks! Normally I would be nervous leaving my dogs for that amount of time as we have never left them that long before, but I have never been more comfortable leaving my dogs with someone than I have been with her. Her home is a paradise for all the dogs that get to stay there and I know ours always have fun while with her! She sends you updates and photos as often as you want and genuinely cares for you and your pups. I look forward to the next time I get to send my dogs to hangout with her!

We brought our dogs to spend the day at WetFur when a snowstorm hit and we wanted to take the opportunity to go skiing at Mt. Hood. We contacted Laura the day before and she was immediately friendly, thorough, and informational about her process and what we could expect. This already left us with a good impression but nothing could have prepared us for the place we brought our dogs to. Laura's property epitomizes quintessential Oregon beauty, and is clean and optimized for her dog sitting business. All the dogs had plenty of space to roam and play, but were still in a controlled atmosphere. Laura is warm and attentive, and sent us amazing photos and detailed updates the entirety of our dogs stay. One of our dogs is typically very timid of new people, but he immediately warmed to Laura and even her husband which speaks so highly to their character. Although it was only one day's visit, this is one of the best dog sitting experiences we have ever had, and we are looking forward to continuing to trust our dogs in the hands of WetFur -- even with the 50-minute drive from Portland, it is absolutely worth it for the quality of care!

I cannot stress enough how AMAZING my experience was with WetFur. You wanna talk about a person who will love your dog the same if not MORE than you do?! Laura is an angel on this earth who took my pup Lorenzo in as her own. I NEVER had to worry about his well being! I can’t recommend her enough!!

Wet Fur deserves way more than 5 stars. I was very stressed about boarding our young golden retriever for the first time while our family was out of town until I found Laura at Wet Fur. This is not a boarding facility, it’s basically a resort for your dog. Laura answered all of our questions and was so patient and kind. It completely put our mind at ease knowing that our dog was being taken care of by someone who genuinely cared about his well-being, she even sent photos and videos to us during his stay. When we came to pick him up, he did not want to get into the car and instead headed straight back to her house! We’ve been reluctant to take any trips that weren’t pet friendly because we didn’t have anywhere that we could leave our dog where we thought he would get as much love and attention as he does at home. That is no longer the case. Laura is amazing, and we are so thankful for her.

What's not to love about Laura at Wetfur?! I came to visit before deciding to leave my furbaby here for several days. I got great vibes and love her in home setup. My dog was at ease and happy to be there during our first visit, and I loved knowing that my baby wasn't going to be left unattended overnights like at a standard kennel. I would 100% recommend Wetfur to anyone looking to board a dog, and will always book here when I need to in the future!

I was down in the area for a last minute weekend of climbing and Laura was willing to take on my two young labradors for two nights. They had the BEST time and I felt so good about trusting Laura with them. She was communicative, sent beautiful pictures, and I know she loved them well during their visit. Laura's home is so tranquil deep in the woods and on a stream. I hope that my boys get to adventure with her again in the not so distant future.

Laura has a BEAUTIFUL space that is safe, comfy and stimulating for our pups! Jack and Fergus love visiting and I love the flexibility she offers. Laura is an amazing human that puts our dogs first and integrates them into her day to day. I'm SO SO SO happy to have a great place for my pups while I figure out going back to a hybrid work model!

I can't say enough about how happy I am to have found Laura and her quality of care. She has years of experience, and a great set up to care for the dogs. Not like any Kennel type of care, it is a home perfectly set up to accommodate the fur baby's. There is great play space for the pups. Laura is very caring and flexible with hours. My dog is always super happy to come to WetFur and happy when he comes home. She sends me pics of his play during the stays. She is a dog and a people whisperer. A true God send.

Laura has had many years of experience in the pet care industry and knows how to run a high quality boarding business. Her periodic updates on her guests are done in a timely manner during the boarding process. Wetfur is conveniently located for those who are travelling and would like to drop their furry buddies off on the way to Portland International Airport. In addition, Laura is highly responsive and has a flexible schedule for pick up and drop times.

Laura loves our dog as one of her own. He LOVES her, John and her doggies so much and is usually bummed to come home. Wetfur is better than a home away from home. We can’t imagine leaving Elliot anywhere else!

Wendy saved us during our vacation to visit our kids. We brought our dog, but he and our son's dog didn't hit it off. She was able to take our dog in on very short notice, and he had a blast. She is so kind, helpful. She helped save our trip. Kristi McDonald

I can’t say enough good things about Petlandia!! Wendy and Nate are so patient with my nervous pup, Roo. They are amazing about checking in; both throughout the day while he’s at daycare and weekly just to bring up occasional behavioral/health concerns. They both obviously care so much about each individual pup, and tailor their care for each dog’s needs! The Petlandia set up is so fun, and highly enriching for an adventurous pup. We only use their daycare services, but they also offer boarding/daily walks which I’m sure we will look into for future needs too! Grace and Roo 🩵 Petlandia!

We were so nervous about leaving our puppy, other dog, and two bunnies for a week over the thanksgiving holiday. We had Bailey come house/pet sit for us, and could not have been happier! Not once did we feel uneasy about our babies being well taken care of. Bailey was extremely communicative, sent us updates and pics daily, and made us feel completely at ease about not being there. Highly recommended! Lulu

"Wendy and her team took such great care of our pup, both for walks and for boarding. He was an older gentleman who didn't always want to get going, and Wendy and her team let him set the pace. I highly recommend without any hesitation." That was my review from over a year ago, one dog ago. Now we have Oakley, a much younger and more energetic head strong girl who is so very well cared for by Wendy and Bailey. They have so much patience and insight into dog behavior. They use positive skills to coach our little one even when she doesn't want to be coached. Consummate professionals, they leave the dog and home in excellent condition with clear communication and frequent photos to let us know how our sweet one is doing when we can't be home with her.

I have used Wendy’s services for both daycare and overnight care and I cannot say enough great things about her! I have a bit of an anxious pup who doesn’t really like playing with other dogs and has separation anxiety. Wendy has done so much to go out of her way to make my dog feel comfortable and cared for. It's not easy to leave your dog when you know she is anxious but Wendy makes it so much easier with frequent texts and photos and by being so gentle and accommodating!

Petlandia Pet Care is legit just the best. I’ve been working with them for 8-ish years and they’ve consistently been professional, communicative, and helpful. Additionally, words truly limit me in expressing my appreciation for their flexibility now, and especially during the pandemic, as my work schedule was unpredictable and changed constantly. When I adopted my Abbey girl, she was super beat up and had clearly experienced some trauma. Now my sweet girl is an arthritic senior pup, who continues to enjoy her unconditional love and pets and walks and treats with the folks from Petlandia. Thank you for all that you’ve done and continue to do for our pibbs!

Petlandia is wonderful! I have a pit bull/ heeler mix who often has issues with new people. Wendy took the time to get to know her and she is now officially on my dog's best friend list. I feel so much better leaving for work each day knowing that Wendy will be there to work with my dog. She is professional and a true animal lover. I highly recommend her and Petlandia. Your pet will be in amazing hands!

We love Wendy and Petlandia Pet Care! I am so happy we found Wendy to take care of our pups when we are out of town. Wendy clearly loves dogs and she always takes such good care of our two pups. She is very responsive to messages and is flexible with scheduling. She sends us pictures and keeps us updated on how our pups are doing when they stay with her. Our dog was anxious the first time we dropped her off, and Wendy spent extra time with her and helped her feel comfortable. Our dogs love to stay with Wendy and we have peace of mind when we travel that our pups are being well cared for.

Petlandia is awesome! Wendy is awesome! I did daycare at Petlandia with 2 Shetland Sheepdogs and a Shih tzu. One of my shelties was very shy and scared of new things and people. Wendy worked with Tori and formed a bond with her very quickly. My Shih tzu loved the whole area to explore and play with other pups! She always had the best time. Hunter my older sheltie found his comfy spot and napped. My pups had a week stay with Wendy at Petlandia. I trust and love Wendy like no other dog care person!

I have been a client of Petlandia Pet Care for many years and can’t say enough good things about their dog-walking service. They are reliable, and respectful. The communication is excellent and most importantly, my dogs love them and go bananas when they come over. I feel absolutely safe having them come into my home when I am not there and I rely on them to take good care of my dogs. Highly recommended.

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!

Started bringing our dogs Alyssa and team are the ABSOLUTE best! Very good with our sensitive pups. Alyssa has went the extra mile for us when our car broke down a mile away from dropping off before a trip. Very gracious, affordably priced and very clean kennels. Will continue bringing our dogs here for years to come!

I just got back from picking up my dog at Powerline and I am very happy with how well taken care of she was! I would only suggest that they have their staff explain the drop off and pick up procedures and hours better to new clients, I was unaware that they were closed during certain hours and showed up to pick up my dog after a long drive from Seattle to find the gates closed. The owner was nice enough to hurry over and let me pick up my pup. Very affordable service, very clean kennels, great facility and all the dogs seemed super happy! I will definitely be using them again, a really great place to take your dog and feel safe about leaving them when you have to go away!

We took our dog here while on vacation in the area. I see why PowerLine gets so many great reviews. Our Lab/Dalmatian mix tends to be nervous with separation anxiety but she was treated wonderfully and was played with at PowerLine so she ended up having a great time. The owner sent us pics and communicated with us to put our mind at ease that she wasn't being "difficult" or a problem for anybody. I definitely recommend this place and plan on taking our dog there again.

We had a wonderful experience with Powerline Kennels. They were able to accommodate us with very short notice. During our 2 Ausies stay, we were able to see pictures and videos of our dogs playing outside, which I thought was pretty awesome! Clean and well kept facility, super friendly owner. My dogs will surely being staying here again!!

We boarded our two Springers for 3 nights. The price was right but our dogs were sick 7 days later. Really scary! I have to question how well they disinfect the kennels each day. My dogs are very sick. I would definitely NOT recommend Power Line Kennels!

We've boarded our dog (a 10lb Norfolk Terrier) here quite a few times, and I highly recommend them. The staff is great, kennels are well kept, and they take great care of the dogs. With a small dog, I appreciate that they exercise them individually (not in a large group). We'll continue to use them!

I called Power Line for a last minute stay for my dog and they were amazing! Some of the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. Highly recommend using them for a stay for your pup.

We love this place. I was very apprehensive about taking our 2 girls to a kennel, but circumstances forced us into it. I talked to a friend of ours who said that they took their dog there and that they were very good. I was a nervous wreck when we took them there the first time. Laurie and her staff assured us that our girls were doing great and having fun. We just picked them up last week from their 4th stay with them. While there this last time they both got upset stomachs for some reason. Laurie got a hold of us right away to see if we had changed food which we had not. They started giving them pumpkin which is what is recommended for this issue. I contacted our vet who worked with Laurie as to what to do. Laurie followed their advice and kept us informed as to how they were doing. Like us she did not know what caused this but thought it might have something to do with barky dogs causing them stress. Other than that issue they were happy and playful. They posted pictures of our girls so we could see them playing in the snow. They even gave both the girls bathes as after having upset stomachs they needed ones. That was so awesome of them. They keep records on each animal so they can keep track of likes and dislikes and any medical issues. They make sure all animals have had their vaccines before taking them. When we picked the girls up this time Laurie said that the next time they have them they'll try to do something different if they have barky dogs. We highly recommend powerline kennels. They will love your pet as much as you do. Ron and Donna Boehm

We took a road trip... a really long road trip. We picked up our dog. He is still healthy and happy. He was fed and played with while we were gone. Way better than being stuck in the car in hot weather down south.

Aug. 30, 2015 These folks are fantastic. We have left our Great Danes with them whenever we have to go out of town; for at least the past six-eight years. Nothing fazes them. When one of our Danes had to wear an Elizabethan collar to prevent her licking her sutures, they were unfazed. Gave her meds as well. I can't speak highly enough of the care they give our dogs. We're going to pick our lady up today, knowing she's been well treated.
