Tami and Nick's home is located at the best neighborhood in Northern Berkeley Hills, it is walking distance to the beautiful Tilden National Park, the acclaimed Chez Panisse restaurant and University of Berkeley. It is nested on top of a quiet and peaceful hill with a panoramic view of the Bay. Tami and Nick are so warm, humble and generous, prepared a welcoming gifts of wine, chocolate, food and detailed notes, I woke up every day to a joyful morning watching sunrise on the large backyard deck and then a sound sleep at night beneath the moonlight. Vito the cat, he is quiet, sweet, loving and appreciative. In the day time, he loves being outside around the house, he waits for me on the balcony by the door and then follows me back to the house in the afternoon. In the morning, he is eager to go outside, but he always walks around me in circles first and stays with me for a while before taking off. During the day, he comes back to say hello periodically and sometimes, he sits next to me to feel if I am well. I really enjoyed Vito's company at Tami and Nick's home, a home filled with love, care, and precious memories with life long friends. If that's all we have, I feel that we need nothing more. Thank you so much, Tami, Nick and Vito, for the wonderful experience. I Look forward to seeing you soon. Till then, please take good care. Elisabeth
Get ready to run because Trixie has a lot of energy to give off everyday. She is a very caring puppy, and she loves to cuddle and play fetch. Zooma is the cutest cat ever. She will come to you with her heart and will ask for massages. Dominik's house is rich with all the utilities and very comfortable furniture. My stay was more than pleasent!
Mischa is a princess and will grace you with her presence after she is done basking in the morning sun. When the pantry door is opened she will do her best to con you out of as many treats as possible - she’s cute and will work her charm on you. Fermina is fickle, BUT once she warms up to you she becomes a demanding love bug. A lint brush is a must as she will be rubbing on your legs constantly. Their home is spacious, clean and in a very safe building with a doorman. It’s within walking distance to many fantastic restaurants, there’s a grocery store across the street and the Q is only a couple of blocks away with a CitiBike station close by to it. Jess responds quickly via text and greatly appreciates pics of her girls. I hope to be invited back to sit for this lovely family again soon.
Adelia and Jack were so communicative and kind! Their home is lovely, a wonderful retreat in the trees. Such great instructions for everything in the house. And where do I start with Tuna - an absolute sweetheart! So well trained and well behaved, and took to us pretty quickly. She was a delight! Definitely agree she is the most food obsessed dog I've ever met, oh the desperation in her eyes if it's been more than 45 minutes since her last snack!! Hope to sit here again!
It was great house sitting for Reola! The cats are adorable and they gradually warm up, which is amazing. Reola is very helpful and responsive. The house is beautiful and so is the location. Can't wait to meet the cats and help out again!
Joseph has a lovely home but a bit far of a walk to get groceries if you don't have a car, most of the sits I've been on had at least some of the basics like milk, eggs and bread so it was tricky. The dogs were great in the home and easy to take care of but very reactive on leash and it was a surprise as I had asked about behavioural issues beforehand. It was challenging in that respect as there's a lot of dogs, cats and young children in the community so going for walks was difficult and I was definitely not ok with letting them off leash. Other than that though Joseph was friendly and kind enough to pick me up from the train station.

After leaving our last groomer due to a negative experience we decided to try Barklandia from reviews and I am so glad we did! The groomer was so so great with our puppy today, she turned out absolutely perfect! We were given text updates to ensure specifics about grooming preferences even! I have been recommending to all our doodle friends, I will attach before and after of our pup! So glad we found a new groomer who cares about our dog and giving her a positive experience while getting a great job done!
Jessica did a wonderful job grooming my Bernese Mountain dog. She looks amazing! We’ll be a repeat customer for sure!
Literally the best place for your pup. We use them for boarding, doggy day care, grooming, and now in home dog training! So sweet and patient with our overly active pup. Love them!
My dog is not the type of dog that wants to play with other dogs, even though he is only 5 years old. Barklandia let him be himself while boarding. They let him hang with older dogs that didn’t want to play. I feel pretty comfortable leaving him there for a few days. That means a lot to me.
Our spoiled Frenchies Louie & Lyla love Barklandia! When I start pulling out their leashes and ask them if they want to go play. They go CRAZY, barking whining and running to our front door. When we are greeted by the Barklandia staff at the door they don't ever look back at me! Cannot recommend Barklandia enough 😍 …
Barklandia is the absolute best. I’ve been bringing my Husky Sadie here for years now and they show her so much care and she always arrives and leaves with a smile on her face! The intake process is also always improving and a seamless experience for boarding. Highly recommend!!
I can't say enough great things about Barklandia! The entire staff is so amazing, kind, and comforting. I recently adopted a 5 month old mastiff mix who is so sweet but I haven't had a puppy in many years. As prepared as I tried to be, I still left my house crying the first day I had to leave him for work in his kennel. I called Barklandia on my drive to ask about doggy daycare and Brianna was so incredibly kind to me. She put me at ease and reminded me that having a puppy is hard and it's normal to feel like you aren't doing enough. They got me in the same week for a meet and greet and my puppy, Taco, loved everyone! The owner, Rafael, came out to meet me along with the groomer who will also be seeing him next week. It's so clear that the staff loves what they do and all of the pets they see. Taco is signed up for training classes as well now and the trainer has been so communicative with me in every way. My mind is at ease knowing Barklandia is there for my precious boy!
Jess is great! She is very kind, thorough, and thoughtful. Our pup, Quinn, can be a very nervous girl so I was a little uneasy bringing her somewhere new. But Jess made me feel confident that she was in good hands.
I absolutely love Barklandia, they are so accommodating to both our 6 month puppy as well as our 10 year old senior dog. They ALWAYS answer the phone, they are attentive and always give me a blurb about how my dogs did after their stays. I also love being able to watch them on the camera, it's a huge perk! Our puppy Bronco gets so excited to come here, she jumps right out of the car and doesn't look back! Our older boy Barkley has some anxiety and they always work with him and are attentive to him, they really care about making sure the dogs have a great experience.
My pup loves going to play with her friends at Barklandia! The staff is always friendly and welcoming and treats Duchess like one of their family. I know she's getting loved on and her needs attended to while she is there. Barklandia has always been responsive to a schedule request or change & is quick to respond to an email. I feel that Barklandia is committed to building a good relationship with their fur customers and families and they do a really good job!
My pup is always happy & tuckered out when I pick him up! He makes great friends here, canine and human alike. The staff is always kind, the place is clean, and the half day daycare/pay per play visits aren’t too expensive! I really enjoy the fun activities they do and all the flexibility they offer when it comes to my dog’s behavior/routine. I love this Dogtopia location!
Jupiter absolutely loves it there and the staff is so friendly. When she walks in she has full body wiggles and loves to tell everyone good morning and is so excited to be there. She leaves the day so happy and tired and sleeps throughout the night. I love that there are webcams to check in on as well. Overall very happy with Dogtopia.
My dachshund Cleo has bad separation anxiety, but since being here, his behavior and anxiety has changed SO much for the better! He is a brand new dog. He loves it here and is treated so well by staff and coaches. They have webcams for you to access to check in on your pups during the day, which is very reassuring. The facilities are sparkly clean and the staff is so friendly and sweet. They remember every dog and parent’s names and make you feel very special! Plus they have events/themed days/fun activities nearly everyday. It is worth every single penny - if you’re on the fence, this is your sign to do it!
We love Dogtopia for our two pups. They are always so happy to go—even our nervous one. And, they do a great job making sure it doesn’t smell like urine. The dogs always come home happy and smelling great :) we especially love the affordable exit baths after boarding!
Dogtopia has been a godsend for me and for my male maltipoo. He loves to go and play there and is excited every time we drive up. He has tons of energy and needs engagement a lot of the time. He gets it at Dogtopia and the handlers are very attentive, hygienic and loving; plus they put a lot of energy into creating fun for the dogs. A superior playpark, I can’t say enough about Dogtopia!
My Gizzy is a fun loving , playful , full of energy doodle . And The staff at Dogtopia Garden Home are so wonderful with him they have so much patience and love for him and all the wonderful pups that go there . The management staff and coach's have been wonderful in answering my questions and taking the time to give report cards on Gizzy . And most of all Gizzy just has a blast when he comes and for me that is all that matters . Thank you Garden Home for loving pups...
Wonderful facility, great staff, love the webcams, and my dog was very happy there:)
Terrible environment. Company doesn’t care about the dogs at all
They're amazing and love my pup so much
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.
Our dogs always loved going to daycare here and spending time with the loving staff. Also the best price we've found if you buy hours in bulk.
Boarded my dog here for a week. Staff were friendly and good with my pup. They even offered a complementary bath so she could come home fresh and clean! Thank you!
We LOVE Buster & Lilly's! Our pug puppy Rocco loves going and is so excited when we pull into the parking lot!! He loves his naps afterward lol.
Butters’ favorite daycare by far. He is visibly excited to go in and even better, exhausted when I pick him up! The staff seem to really love the dogs they work with 😊 …
My dog starts going all crazy in the back seat. When I get close to the parking lot. He never acted like that at the two other places. I tried for him to have play dates so I'm very happy with that. The staff is very nice. I make sure that they have updates on his shots and everything. I bring them the paperwork and they are appreciative. Love this place!
The best dog daycare/boarding ever. I have kind of a tricky dog, and the employees are always so kind and patient with her. The owner is one of the nicest people I have ever met. I love that I can drop her off just for a couple hours to get some socialization. A lot of dog daycares can feel corporate-y and cold, but this is such a community-oriented, welcoming environment. My dog loves it here!
My pup loves coming here. Anytime we get anywhere near that part of town he starts getting really excited. They are nice, friendly and truly love and care about all the dogs who go here. We've boarded him here overnight many times. They also provide baths, and grooming. Great place, friendly staff. Bonus: I can watch my for my dog on their IG story daily. It's really fun :)
Buster & Lilly’s is like bringing our dog to his second home. He has gone there since he was 6 months old and he is now almost 11years old. The entire staff cares for the dogs as their own. Our dog was staying there while we were out of town and he had a medical emergency. Brian and the entire staff went above and beyond to help our dog as we frantically tried to make it home. I highly recommend this doggie daycare if you are looking for a welcoming and loving place to take your doggie!
Highly recommend! It makes me so happy to see my dog get excited to go inside and play. She comes home and sleeps like crazy. And every time I say “you want to go to Buster and Lilly’s?” her ears perk up and she gets so excited! They are also extremely accommodating, the owner and staff are very kind and the price is great.
The staff at Buster and Lilly’s are the sweetest and kindest people, who 100% genuinely care about every kid/pup that walks through there doors. While providing amazing customer service. They totally spoil my pup with lots of belly rubs and love caring him around. The owner is truly a compassionate, caring and loving person. Who cares about the well being of every pup that stays at there facility. The facility itself is very clean and professional. They have been my go to boarding and daycare place for the last couple of years, since Fort Wags closed there doors. No other boarding/daycare place can put a candle next to Buster and Lilly’s!!! I’m always happy to recommend them to any pup parent.
Our pup Cinnamon has been going to Wags since shortly after we adopted her so this review is a bit overdue. We love love LOVE Wags! It’s our pups home away from home. Our pup has made so many besties both dog and human, and she comes home relaxed and content from her daycare days. The staff and management are kind, helpful, caring and skilled at what they do. We’ve also had our pup spend some overnights and she’s done great! I would definitely recommend bringing your dog here for boarding or daycare, we’re so grateful for Wags.
Ruby absolutely loves going to daycare to see her friends. She runs in and wants to get in as fast as she can. The staff is so nice and they are so sweet to Ruby and myself. All I say is do you want to go play with your friends and she is at the door ready to go. She knows when we turn on Hall Street she gets to go run her heart out. I give her happiness a 5 star review. The only down side is I’d like to see the back where the dogs are and what it looks like. Also some cameras so I can see what she is doing while I’m not with her. But otherwise. I’m so thankful I found Wags Pet Resort for my sweet Ruby ❤️
I can't express enough how grateful I am for Wags Tigard dog daycare that has been amazing for my once timid greyhound that I adopted last fall. When I first brought her in, she was incredibly shy and anxious, making it difficult for her to join group play. However, the training and daycare staff went above and beyond by offering private care and training sessions. Their dedication, patience, and expertise helped my dog overcome her fears and gain the confidence to play with others. Without their specialized attention, I would have been in a position to consider returning her to the rescue since she also has separation anxiety and can't be home alone, but now my dog is THRIVING. I wholeheartedly recommend this daycare to anyone in a similar situation, as they truly care about each dog's individual needs.
Great place for our 1 year old to play and socialize . I have taken Milo to other care centers & he has come home smelling very foul. Wags returns him in the same condition that I left him in. He seems to love the staff., He is always excited when we pull into the parking lot!
Wags has been awesome for our 9 month old 90lb puppy. Our previous doggy daycare kenneled him for several hours a day due to his rougher play style instead of working with him to understand when he's being too rough. Wags has helped to work with him and is helping him understand other dogs' signs that they might need some space from him and he's been doing amazing! He always comes home absolutely worn out and is a breeze to deal with in the evening after a long day at work.
Great experience! Spice seemed to like it there and they loved him. He can be social if he wants to or not. Thanks Wags Tigard Staff!
This place is amazing and the staff is beyond incredible!! They treat my dog like she is part of their family. And the customer service is the best you'll ever get anywhere. I highly recommend Wags in Tigard.
I have been taking my dog to the Tigard location and he simply adores this daycare. The facility looks very clean and organized, which I think is rare! Very nice. My dog gets super excited when we arrive there! I had taken my dog to other doggie daycares and I didn't have the same great experience. Staff are great. I love that they post photos of the dogs in their IG page and I can see that my dog is so happy playing with other dogs. My dog is small and he loves blankets. I like that they have clean blankets and beds for the dogs so they can take a nap when they are tired. They also have several optional activities for the dogs and they are super fun.
We made reservations ahead of time and they didn’t record them. When we brought our dog there were no reaervations nor space available four our dog. New owners, bad service, they don’t care.
They only want dogs that don’t do anything if there’s a dog that has any type of personality or is young and it makes them actually have to work then they kick the dog out. I even talked to my vet about it (her comment was it’s just a bunch of people that say oh I want to go play with dogs all day long. That’s my job without actually being knowledgeable about dogs and dog breeds and what they do it different age levels.) I saw a video of my dog playing from a different daycare because he goes to three other daycares and I remember a wags employee telling me something that he does that is aggressive when I saw the video from the other daycare he’s on his back with his arms around the other dog and that’s considered aggressive he’s on his back on the floor with the other dog, having a ball playing with him. I also caught one of the employees lying to me. Just be aware that the employees are very judgmental towards dogs and they only want the submissive easy dogs. Nothing that’s going to make them have to actually do their job.
