We were so lucky to find Mélanie as our first sitter! 🤩 I cannot explain how happy we were with the sit - Mel sent the most wonderful photos and videos of the pets everyday! The communication about our babies was fantastic and Mel was so considerate of their needs and didn't hesitate to let us know what was happening. Frankie had the most amazing walks with Mel, watching the videos Mel sent was so wonderful and made us laugh all the time! ✨ Moose can be an anxious cat, but seeing how he interacted with Mel while we were away, I know that he has a friend for life! 💖 When we came home to Moose and Frankie they were more relaxed and happy than I have ever seen them with any other sitter! The care she treated our pets with was the same as the care they get from us every day. As a massive bonus, we came back to our home looking cleaner than when we left and we didn't have to worry about anything. Mel made sure we had fresh sheets and towels to make the transition back home so much easier. 💕 I cannot recommend Mel enough, I know that she will treat your home and pets with the best care you can imagine! 🌈 💫
A+++ house/pet sitter!!! We wouldn't hesitate to have Hélène house-sit again, she was absolutely fantastic. The animals loved her and she was super easy to deal with. Definitely 5 gold stars and highly recommended from us!!

They are very professional and do excellent work! Tabbie was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. I felt safe leaving my dogs with her and she even helped me with some behavioral issues :)
Tabitha was VERY good with our dogs and worked around my schedule.
Best pet sitter in the Portland metro area bar none. Diane has a passion for pets, and unlike some pet sitters she cares for special needs pets as well. My kitty is insulin dependent, and anytime we are leaving town we can trust to Diane to take care of him and make sure he gets all his medicine and insulin. I don't trust many people with my pets, but I trust Diane with mine. She has a passion for pets, and her kennel free boarding for dogs is top-notch. Any time I have to leave town, I can rest easy knowing our pets are well cared for.
Diane's passion for pets is awesome. For the past couple of years she has shared plenty of pet care tips to the Tigard community. Loving, caring and professional. Highly recommend
Totally trust Diane with our fur-baby, he has stayed with her numerous times! She provides a home environment and honest care.
Fantastic care for my fur babies. I wouldn't even consider using anyone else. Diane is wonderful and I know my babies are in caring and capable hands!
We took our dogs for an "evaluation" before we boarded them. To see if they "passed", they told us that our German Shepard totally "shut down" when she was with other females. Didn't even try putting her with males. So they (two Chihuahuas had other issues" They never once suggested that the get German Shepherd should not be near our beloved and therapy dog Morgan. Who was obviously a female....I told them that the German Shepherd and Morgan can't be together. They claimed they were dog professionals...the very next day, our German Shepherd killed our precious Morgan, in 8 seconds....thanks....
This is the second time I’ve boarded my dogs with Lynda. I have confidence they will be safe and loved just like at home. I appreciate her great communication during their stay when I call to check in, and highly recommend her as an awesome dog sitter.
Our cockers Willy and Molly love it there and frequently hang out with Lynn and the gang! Nap time 😀 …
My dog came home happy and exhausted after his first weekend. Just Like Home cares, is fun for my dog and reasonably priced for me.
They do no offer the services that are advertised on their website, where clear sizes and descriptions are printed. When I brought this up, the reply was "No, Thank You" and hung up, not offering any explanation. Very unprofessional in my opinion.
Great service and all dogs there seem happy and healthy.
My cutest puppy in the whole world stays here anytime we have to leave her.
Lyn takes excellent care of our miniature dachshund.
Great place to leave my older dog for the weekend.
Personalized care and attention for each pet that lives there or visits daily for day care. Some choose Just Like Home in Oregon City to Board their Family Pets while vacationing ,and are confident of the care their dear Family member will be receiving. No worries. Your Pet are in Really Great Care
I had never boarded my dogs before. Had always had family take care of them while I was gone. So when a trip came up that I had no other choice but to board, I worried if I could ever find a place similar to my own family. Luckily I found Denise Woods, who owns Pampered Pet Lodge in Damascus. She took care of my two show Corgis like they were her own. I chose the indoor living and they thrived there. I came home to both of my boys happy to see me but I knew that they were not frantic to leave. In fact, they took more hugs and pets from them before we parted. There is no other place I would recommend but Pampered Pet Lodge. A++ facility. She is caring attentive, knowledgeable, communicative. Texts are answered immediately. A wonderful feeling for an owner to leave our beloved pets in such good hands.
The only worry you may have leaving your dog with Denise is that your dog may not to go home. I had used other boarding facilities for my German Shepherd that ranged from ok to"never again" so when I found Denise it was a God send. In the past I hated leaving him and never felt like I was fully relaxed while away. With Denise I got daily updates and pictures and when I picked him up he was so happy and well cared for and it was obvious that he loved her and she loved him..
We are so very lucky to have found Denise, who has made her home a home for our fur babies while we are away. We have two small dogs that are older and have gotten to be very picky about how they spend their day. Denise is truly a dog whisperer and from the moment she met them, she was very patient with them getting used to their new space. Denise has built a lovely kennel (with a TV!), covered outdoor play area, and has a beautiful property that gives our dogs fresh air. She was wonderful about sending pics and updates throughout the week. It was the first time I went on vacation and felt calm about being away from my dogs. If you have a special needs, senior, or just a fur baby that needs extra attention and TLC, I couldn’t recommend Denise more.
If I could give 10 stars I would!! We are new to town and were nervous about finding a new place to board our dog. I was able to schedule a quick tour prior to boarding. Denise checked in daily and took THE BEST care of our dog. I feel like she treated him as if he was her own. You can tell she truly cares for all of the animals she boards. Thank you so much for taking care of our fur baby Denise!!!!
Five days before Easter, we found ourselves making last second arrangements to attend an out-of-state funeral. Finding someone to care for two large dogs, five days before Easter, was going to be a challenge. On the recommendation of a friend, we contacted Denise, who first confirmed that she had the space to take the dogs, then guided us through her intake process. (She can handle several dogs at a time, so she has to be sure that all the animals have all their shots, etc.) On arrival, Denise showed me her setup, including her gate and fence system (so there are no escapes). We then received daily videos of our dogs playing and interacting in the outdoor area of her setup. They were clearly happy and content! Highly recommend this place.
Our cat Charlie developed conjunctivitis in both eyes a few days before we were set to head out of town for 3 nights. I knew getting the drops into his eyes every 8 hours wasn’t going to be possible for our friend who normally comes by after work to check on our 2 cats on the rare occasions we are gone, and the place we were going didn’t allow pets. That left me scrambling to find a boarding place that had availability, would administer medications, and was reasonably priced. Never having had to board a pet before, I was worried about finding a place I’d feel comfortable leaving our cat with, especially when he wasn’t feeling well (and with a stranger in an unfamiliar place with other animals)! But Deneese quickly put me at ease and I felt reassured that he would be in capable, caring hands. When we dropped Charlie off, since she had other cats boarding in catios in her cat room, she set him up with everything he could need in her guest bathroom. This way he wouldn’t be as stressed because he’d have the room to himself. Deneese texted me regularly with updates, and photos and videos to show how Charlie was doing. She made sure he got his eye drops on schedule, and also gave him his oral medicine (Prozac for anxiety) every night. She visited him in “his bathroom” frequently to give him attention, pets, love and treats, and by the time we picked him up on the 4th day, he had really settled in and warmed up to her. I highly recommend Deneese for boarding your pets! She is very thorough, accommodating and attentive. Her rates are very reasonable and she doesn’t add on extra fees per medication dose, and she is very flexible with drop off days/times (it was so nice to be able to pick Charlie up Sunday evening and not have to leave him there until Monday morning, unlike many of the other boarding places I checked into). She not only pampers your fur baby, she pampers the owner, too, by making sure they know their pet is being well-cared for so they can relax and actually enjoy their time away instead of worrying!
Just recently boarded my two dogs for their first time ever and our first experience with Denise at Pampered Pet and there is nothing but good things to say. We were probably more nervous than our dogs to leave them for week, but Denise was very responsive and sent a lot of pictures and videos. Flexible pick up times made it so easy to grab them on our way home from the airport. Overall, the experience was 10/10.
We have left our two Aussies with Denise four or five times now, for as few as four days and as many as 18 days. This facility is unlike any other and Denise has a special way with our dogs - and all the wonderful animals on their beautiful hobby farm. She limits the number of dogs she has at any time. When they have been the only two, she lets them stay in her house with her and the family so they get even more attention. They were never "other dog friendly" until Denise started caring for them, but now they will play with the other guests happily and that has translated to being more friendly with the other dogs in our neighborhood. She stays in contact when we are gone, via text, and we often get pics and videos of the dogs having fun on the farm. Denise goes above and beyond our expectations and hopes. This last long trip, the dogs ran out of their prescription food (our poor planning) and she stood in line to get a prescription for their special food and purchased another bag for them. She also noticed a nodule growing on one of the dogs and pointed it out to us so we can go get her veterinary treatment. The worst thing we can say about Pampered Pet Lodge @ Dutch Heritage Farms is that we sometimes worry that our doggies will not want to come home with us! We have been regularly boarding dogs for 12 years and this is by far, the best home away from home they have ever had! Mark & MJ
Denise was fabulous with our "reactive" dog who is around 8 years old and had never been in a kennel over nite..she spent 2 nites and due to Denise's care and attention did just fine..i would highly recommend her
Denise and Pampered Pet Lodge are wonderful! We have four dogs with very different needs - one who is elderly with a chronic health condition and three rescues who are very active. Their care is complex and Denise has risen to the occasion. She provides safe, loving care, tending fully to the medical needs of our old gir.. When our pups stay with Denise, we have total confidence that they are in the very best hands. We highly recommend Denise and PPL!
Kathryn has taken care of my cat Gibson on two separate occasions. She has come twice a day to administer medications and feed him. She always sends pictures and videos so I can see he is happy and well cared for. It is wonderful to have someone who I can trust and count on.
Kathryn has taken care of two kitties of mine over the past five years. I travel frequently and it’s wonderful to know that I can leave everything in her hands. She is great about giving meds, special diets, and is genuinely caring and compassionate. The videos she sends always make me smile :)
I have known Kathryn for over 10 years. She took care of my two westies -- and was wonderful with them. She has a passion for pets and was so good with them.
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
