It was a pleasure looking after Becky's two kittens Baba and Binx. They are both very sweet and entirely loveable. Becky's excellent pre-sit communication and comprehensive guide meant we were able to feel confident and stress-free during our stay. We had one 'glitchy moment' when we locked ourselves out on our very first day, but Becky responded graciously and was very helpful in resolving our problem promptly. Becky's home is very comfortable and tastefully decorated, and we enjoyed having our meals in the spacious conservatory. We couldn't fault any aspect of our stay, and we would highly recommend it to future sitters!
I really enjoyed my stay in Heidi and Andrew's beautiful home with 2 incredible adorable and cuddly cats Mia & Dexter. They gave very clean instruction and guidelines about their home and the care of the cats. Their house was spotless and very quiet and comfortable. I felt just like home! Thank you guys!
This was a short sit for me - just 2 nights but I was finishing up a sit nearby with a friend of the HO and was asked if I might take it on. Communication, comfort, hospitality were all 5 star+. Kahlua the pup doesn't warm to new people quickly. His behavior was fine, but he didn't want me to get close and I respected that. He did come in at night but spent days outside. The setting is beautiful - great sunsets and a dark sky for seeing the stars. Recommend the sit if but don't have hurt feelings if the pup doesn't embrace you!
We had such a wonderful time looking after Lexi, Mollie, and Ronnie. The animals were such a delight to look after and so easy to care for! The animals were all very sweet and friendly, and we enjoyed all the cuddles (Mollie liked a lot of cuddles) they gave. Each had their own personality and were so much fun to be around. Mollie and Lexi were very easy to walk. We had no issues with them around other dogs or when we let them off lead for a run around 😊 Cassie was a great host, she was very easy to get in touch with if we had any questions, and she also left great instructions for us. The house itself is clean, cosy, and had everything we needed in it. We found our basic necessities (groceries) just a 10 minute walk away as well as a bus stop that could take us into Liverpool city just down the road. We would happily house sit for Cassie and the animals again!
This was a 5 star sit! Roddick and Matteo were an awesome duo! Roddick is so easy-going… enjoyed kicking back as much as he enjoyed walking. Matteo was a real character and a softy. Both boys gave lots of love and snuggles. Beautiful home and location and awesome courtesy and communication!
My daughter and I had a fantastic long weekend caring for Lulu and Scully. Colby's home is beautiful, immaculately clean, and in a perfect location to enjoy all the sights of SF. Communication was excellent, and we were made to feel very welcome. The highlight of our stay was the furkids. Lulu is such a gorgeous, shy, and loving dog. We fell in love with her instantly. She is straightforward to walk and loves being close to you and getting hugs and love. Scully is a petite little Miss who bonded with my daughter and slept on her every night. She tells you when she is hungry or wants to go in and out. You will be very lucky if you get to look after this pair. It was a joy, and we would love to look after them again if the opportunity arises.

My lab Millie has been going to Nightshift Petcare since she was 18 weeks old. Joy helped me train Millie and I attribute much of her sweetness to the time she spent learning to socialize with the other dogs at NSPC. Millie attends daycare 2x a week and there is no where else I would leave her for overnight boarding. Joy is the best of the best of the very best!!!
Joy is the best. My pup probably has a better vacation than I do every time I drop them off. Could not recommend higher.
Joy is fantastic! Totally trust her with my pups! Bonus she’s super funny
Becky and Scott are awesome! They helped me out in a pinch and walked our dog who returned happy and tired! I highly recommend them and will use their service again when needed.
My dog's home away from home! He looooves going to puppy sleep away camp at Sadie's landing!
❤️
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
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!
"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.
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 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.
Petlandia Pet Care is the best! I’ve been a dog walker for over a year with Petlandia and they are first class! Wendy is not only a great person to work for but I see the care and dedication she gives to the pets she cares for too. I would trust her 110% with your pet needs. She makes your pet top priority.
I love Petlandia. I very rarely go anywhere without my dog. So whenever I need to leave my dog with a sittter, I can become very nervous. But I’m no longer nervous since I have met Wendy at Petlandia. I trust her more with my dog than any other dogsitter and I’m willing to drive out of my way to have my dog in Wendy’s care. Thanks, Wendy!!! (And Rizzo and Cricket and Grits!)
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
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!!
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!
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.
We have had Ginger watch our two cats several times and have always felt spoiled by the experience. She provides timely updates with pictures and videos of the cats enjoying their own staycation. She brings treats and toys to keep them stimulated and happy. Truly a treat while we are away from home. We have recommended Ginger’s services to several of our friends over the years and only have good things to say. We will continue to use Ginger as our go to cat sitter.
Ginger has been catsitting for me for several years and I highly recommend her. She is the “cat whisperer” and my cats love spending time with their Auntie Ginger, even the shy one. She is very reliable and sends me texts of my cats daily. She is a feline expert and gives my cats medication and has given me useful advice about litter box issues. Ginger truly loves animals and it shows.
Our dog was bitten and injured by another dog while at 3 Dogs' day care in late October 2023. 3 Dogs' actions over the past several weeks show that this is not a responsible, caring, or safe facility. I encourage you to keep our experience in mind when you choose a dog day care. 1. 3 Dogs did not reach out to check on our dog or see how she was doing. They knew that our dog had puncture wounds, needed an same-day urgent care vet visit, sedation for the puncture wounds to be flushed and treated, three prescriptions, follow up visits, constant monitoring, etc. We finally reached out to them after 2 weeks of not hearing from them. 2. When we reached out to them to ask about their procedures when a dog is injured while in their care, they seemed to have no procedures. No incident report was made. There was no surveillance video of the scuffle / bite. The staff member that I talked to on the phone was not aware of the incident until I contacted 3 Dogs. 3. When we asked what happened with the dog that bit our dog, they said that nothing happened - the other dog did not go home early, there was no change to the dog's schedule (until weeks later when we requested it), and we learned later that the other dog's owner was not EVEN INFORMED THAT SHE BIT OUR DOG. 4. 3 Dogs has changed their story over and over. As of our last email with them today, they are now blaming our dog for being bitten. Our dog and the other dog do NOT know each other beyond living in the same neighborhood; they have never had an incident outside of 3 Dogs. However, 3 Dogs keeps repeating this story that the two dogs "have a history" and "know each other" and that was a contributing factor, instead of taking a speck of responsibility for the dog injury happening at their facility when our dog was under their care. After being customers since 2020 or 2021, we will never go back. I encourage you to go elsewhere, too.
My dog was a 5 month old rescue who had never played with any other dogs. She was very shy and timid around other dogs so a friend recommended us to 3 dogs. I owe her a steak dinner because they were able to get my dog comfortable with other dogs and she genuinely loves seeing the staff when she is there. If I could give 10 stars I would. The prices are very affordable and compared to the progress my dog has made i would pay twice that. The staff is always knowledgeable about what your dog did that day or who they played with, which is really helpful for tracking the progress they make. I cant say enough good things about the facility, the staff or anything else that comes from here. ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL.
Incredible place! They know dogs here. They gave my high-energy German Shepherd an extremely thorough assessment ("interview") before he began daycare/boarding. They take time to understand each dog and what they need to ensure positive pack interactions. My dog always comes back tired--and even seems better behaved. I can't recommend this place enough!
We LOVE 3 dogs! They take such good care of my dogs. The owner Anne is awesome and is always genuinely excited to see my pup. We used to take our older guy here too until a bad back took him out of daycare. She always asked after him. I love that the dogs don’t sleep in cages and that the premises are huge. It’s just great.
I love this daycare and all of the staff. They absolutely adore my dog and it’s obvious she loves them, too. You know it’s a good sign when your dog doesn’t want to come home 😂 …
Incredible staff and facility. Our dog loves coming here and he is always so tuckered out at the end of the day.
My pup always loves going there! Staff is always so friendly!
3 Dogs Daycare is my first experience with doggie daycare and in the year that I've been taking my very energetic dog there it has proven to been one of the best investments I've made for him. Not only has 3 Dogs provided the needed resource for his unlimited energy so that a) he doesn't destroy my home and b) that he isn't neglected all day while I'm at work, it has proven to be an invaluable resource for my dogs development and socialization with other dogs and humans alike. The staff at 3 Dogs are exceptional and it is my observation that they genuinely love and care about all of the dogs in their care, which is really the most important thing when entrusting somebody to look after your family. I highly recommend 3 Dogs for daycare service and although I have not yet used them for boarding, in the event that I need somebody to take care of my dog for a few days, they will be my go to resource. It's a great place all around.
Well, like others we called several times and no one ever called back. So I decided to take our dog in in to get an appointment. One of the owners was very apologetic about not calling us back. Everything went okay, I thought, our dog was tired seemed happy..... but he always had to go to the bathroom when picking him up? Then it dawned on me that my dog wasn't going to the bathroom while he spent the day there..... do these people pay attention? Then he started to show signs of not wanting to go inside and then finally one day our dog simply wouldn't get out of the car..... this was a big red flag. as our dog loves everyone and only wants to be around people and dogs. We mentioned this to a friend that also took their dog there, whom said they saw a woman screaming at a dog. Not good, that will affect all dogs not just the one. I don't recommend this place. In fact stay away until they hire some competent staff.
I highly recommend. They are patient and welcoming. They care. Our dog is always nice and played out by the time she gets home. She looks forward to going.
My pep loves being at Rainy Day Resort. He gets to run and play and get his zoomies out. We never have to worry when we're at work or out of town, knowing he's safe, supervised, and comfortable! It's his favorite staycation.
I couldn't be happier with the service John provides for our Becky! We started working with Rainy Day back when they were a dog walking service. So of course, they were our first choice when we needed a reliable boarding option. From day one, they take the time to get to know your pet and bond with them. When you're on vacation, they send sweet pics and videos of your four-legged friend playing with the others or just chilling out. I feel 100% confident leaving our Becky there and know she'll be safe and very happy.
John is amazing!!!... he goes above and beyond!!.. he is reliable, has integrity and loves your pup like his own!.. Always sends videos and pics of the day!.. my pup has friends I never knew he had.. Hahaa We Love John!!!!!... he’s part of our family now 💕💕
Fantastic service. Our pup was well-loved. I trust John completely with our fur baby.
Dogs love it. John Black and it is supervised play, nearly all day! He picks up and returns your dog.
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 ☺️☺️☺️
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!
Mary Ellen’s Wag Along Pet Care has served as a second home for our dog Jasper over the last few years and we’ve just started bringing our new puppy there as well. We drop them off for daycare a couple of times a week while my husband and I both work, and for extended overnights whenever we go out of town. Mary Ellen is accommodating and flexible (even with our sometimes last minute requests), as well as kind and knowledgeable about dogs. We trust her over anyone to take good care of our fur babies!
I had been searching for someone to drop by a couple of days a week to give my dogs some exercise and potty break while I was at work. Happy Tails has been my go to! Lisa, has been really easy to work with and accommodating of my schedule that can often change. My dogs are excited to see her and I know are well taken care of.
Lisa has been walking my pup Charlie twice a week for several months now. She is reliable, easy to work with and always texts me with any important updates. We are very grateful to have her help during the day and would definitely recommend her services.
Lisa went above and beyond when taking care of our 5 month old Bailey. She not only took wonderful care of him but also continued the training we started, continued socializing him and the house was spotless when we came home. And when I say above and beyond I mean it! She even drove out to the airport before we left to bring something important that I had left home. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent dog/house sitter. If I could give 10 ⭐️ I would!
We love Lisa and her team! Always super reliable and she loves our dogs like her own. One of our dogs, prior to her passing, required timely medication for seizures and I felt so comfortable knowing I could leave her and know that she would be well cared for if she were to have a seizure while we were gone. Adapts and is able to accommodate your pets regular routines. Clean and tidy house guest too for those overnight stays :) didn’t even know she was here. Highly recommend Lisa and her team at Happy Tails Pet Sitting & More!
When you want a dog sitter to really take care of and love and spoil your dogs, call Lisa. The dogs seem to all love her so much and get so excited when they see her. I know they’re in good hands when I leave home.
Lisa is wonderful! We moved to the area recently with 2 high anxiety dogs who can not be alone. So running errands have been hard on us. But with finding Lisa we are now able to do errands on our days off. And my dogs enjoy her presence. I highly recommend her and her business!
Lisa is one of the best in the business. I would know bc I have been through a few before meeting her. She made all of my fears about leaving my dog and house while I was away fade away. I can honestly say that I can now can go on trip without worrying about who is going to watch my dog and no longer will miss out on trips that don’t allow dogs. I never worry when I know Lisa is coming 🥰 Lisa is amazing, patient, loving, professional, knowledgeable, caring, and affectionate. She is the type of person that would rescue a stray animal, help a stranger in need, be the first to welcome a new person to town, …..and the person you would want to watch your precious fur baby. Knowing that she is this type of person, I always have the most confidence in leaving my precious puppy and my home in her hands. She is great a communicator - takes pics and videos of my puppy while I am gone. She leaves the house immaculate after a long stay (while we’re away) and I swear that sometimes it’s even better condition than it was when we left. Lisa is a rare find. A genuine person. And we feel like we hit the jackpot when we found her. We love Lisa. Schedule one appointment with her and you will not regret it
Lisa is beyond AMAZING! She is extremely dependable, thorough and an incredibly kind person. She cares for our four cats, including one who needs medication, and Lisa handles it like a champ. I also appreciate her level of communication. It is so nice to know that when we are away, our babies are receiving the best care and are in wonderful hands!! I trust Lisa implicitly!!
We feel so Lucky to have found Lisa at Happy Tails. She has become like family, taking care of our sweet Bentley, a giant baby who adores his walks and overnights with Lisa. We trust her with our home, and she has been there for us many times in a pinch. She has a kind heart and takes her job very seriously. You probably couldn’t find a better person for caring for your pets, your home and your family. Thank you Happy Tails, we apprecaite you!
I have used Lisa many times! I have 3 miniature Dachshunds and travel quite a bit. She has always given my pups and our home the upmost attention! She checks in with you while you are away and sends pictures of our dogs having fun with her. She also comes out during the day if I am going to be away a long time just to let them out on a potty break and play with them a bit. I would recommend Happy Tails Dog Sitting to anyone needs great care for their pets.
We have been using Mindy every Tuesday for about a year. I can hardly tell you how excited Cooper is every Tuesday morning. We actually think he knows when it’s Tuesday. She’s always on time, always concerned about safety and health of our dog, and is always fun to talk with. If we have concerns about Cooper, she will always offer ideas for the questions that we have. Our group of dogs were well curated by her. They are quite the pack! If she had the time, we would also use her dogsitting and occasional private training. dog Adventures NW has been an outstanding company. They are definitely busy which reflects how good their services is. When there are times when they can’t meet our need, they will give us a long list of other companies who may be able to. That shows great integrity. I looked at a couple of companies before hiring this one. I am very pleased with their services and Mindy in particular Mindy also has taken some of our favorite pictures of Cooper
We absolutely adore Kerry and her Puppy Play & Learn program! Our little Honey joined the shy and tiny puppies day, and it has done so much for her confidence and socialization! When she first started out a couple months ago, she coexisted with other pups but in general much preferred human company. Now, she's so excited when we drop her off and she loves playing and zooming with her new friends. We can't thank Kerry enough for her knowledge, care, and attention with our little puppy – it truly takes a village! We wholeheartedly recommend Puppy Play & Learn to anyone looking for attentive one-on-one care for their young pup.
I previously posted rave reviews for DANW for my high energy love bug Norman the Bernedoodle. Our family has grown and four months ago we rescued a Goldendoodle who is pretty severely vision impaired and on medication for seizures. The rescue told us she was very limited in her physical abilities because she can't really see... When she arrived she just wanted to play with her brother and I of course called Kerry because I trust her expertise and knowledge. I was torn because I wanted Goldie to be able to be a dog, but scared because we were warned she was limited in her abilities. Kerry spent time with Goldie and reassured me that we just had to trust Goldie to be a dog and that she could learn to compensate and rely on her other senses. Enter Alex (Norman's favorite human who doesn't live with him). Goldie started adventuring with her brother and with Alex's patience and love has become such a capable and confident pup. At first she was very hesitant walking on the different ground or when she would come in contact with bushes and shrubs. Her brother Norman would bump into her to keep her on the trail and sometimes Goldie would hold onto his tail. Alex would carry Goldie when she was unsure about walking and he was so patient with her as she found her footing. When Goldie needed to just stand by Alex to get more comfortable he would talk with her and pet her. Now she is able to run and chase after Norman and she is becoming more interested in playing with the other dogs on her adventures too! She's living her best life and is so sporty now. She recently jumped over a log on a hike right after her brother and I cried because I never thought she'd be able to do so. DANW is the most wonderful fabulous company and the people who work there are the best and love our dogs as much as we do!
From pet sitting to puppy playdates to dog training, my experiences with DANW have been nothing short of amazing! The staff is super friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. My dogs can hardly contain their excitement when they realize it's time for another fun-filled adventure with the awesome folks at DANW!
I'm going to dig in here for the people who are struggling with a new puppy or young dog. Kerry welcomed us into her Puppy Play and Learn Program to try and help our dachshund, Henry socialize more and to potentially identify and sooth his quirks and anxiety. He's an awkward guy with the sweetest heart but quite frankly, we'd been to a few other establishments that offer both play and training and we did not find our match. Those experiences made me feel like a 'problem parent' and instead of assimilating him into the pack- he was isolated to practice being alone in another room in a strange place while he could hear other dogs playing and definitely came home more anxious and misunderstood and it was expensive. Like anyone else in this position you throw money at what you hope will stick and it's overwhelming. Henry loves other dogs and being part of the pack and we didn't even know that until we found our spot. Our experience at Dog Adventures NW could not have been more different. The first thing Kerry said to me via email was "He sounds like a real turkey which is just my type!". This felt like a life ring and a big warm blanket rolled in one. Henry adores Kerry and was perfectly matched to his group and we have done the 'add on training' at noon 4-5 times thus far and I can guarantee we've made significant head way each time. The one on one training has been as helpful for me because our dynamic was off and some crummy patterns were set into motion early in his puppyhood. I needed the support as much (or more) as Henry does and together we are totally finding our way. I went from crying multiple times a week (it was really bad) to getting into a rhythm that I almost did not think was possible. I have also fallen for Kerry and her professionalism, pragmatism, brilliant canine training and experience. Puppy Play and Learn is not doggie daycare. It's an incredibly balanced morning of all the things these dogs need to be on their way to awesome pets. It feels like a luxury but it is our necessity. When Henry sees Kerry- the sound he makes is like no other sound he ever makes. She speaks his language and I've adopted the lessons (training) he's learned each time he goes and we get better together. I read an awful stat the other day that said "In the US, 4,000,000 puppies come home each year and 3,000,000 of those are put up for adoption. I'm proud to say we've been officially saved from becoming part of that hideous equation when we were almost there. Henry is 10.5 months and we love each other more each day. It's been a slow burn with this puppy and we didn't sweep each other off our feet immediately which devastated me. We finally have our support system firmly in place thanks to Dog Adventures NW. Our family is so grateful to Kerry and her business will ALWAYS be in our lives. Grateful forever!! Michelle, Chris and Henry. XO
I seriously can’t say enough good things about our experience with Kira and Dog Adventures Northwest. It’s hard to believe that this combination of training expertise, and flexibility with my schedule exists, but here we are! Kira sends us regular updates and pictures, and also gives us suggestions about gear and how to work with Jupiter at home to maximize his benefit. With Kira Jupiter gets more than just an outlet for his sillies, as Kira would say, but also a highly structured and evidence based approach to training. We honestly could not ask for anything more!
Our dog has been going on adventures for almost two years now! He's a doodle with all that crazy energy and he's TIRED after his adventures! We've been working with UB the whole time and they're AWESOME! Always super communicative, they send the best write ups with pictures. UB has also been super accommodating with our dog who doesn't love other dogs. Our boy gets to ride shotgun in their truck! If you're looking for a way to get your dog exercise with a trainer you can trust, I can't recommend Dog Adventures Northwest and UB enough!
My daughter found Dog Adventures Northwest when I was ill and could not care for my 13 month old puppy. He spent almost 6 weeks with Kerri and I can’t say enough good things about her training and boarding. They took him right into their family and loved him like their own. He was taken on all kinds of adventures from the coffee shop to the beach. He was offered all kinds of new experiences and as a result is an amazingly well-socialized puppy. No matter if I was at home or hospital, Kerri would bring him to see me whenever I asked. She took him for puppy check-ups and vaccinations. She drove across Portland to all of our locations without one complaint. He became use to car rides as well as park adventures. My puppy returned to me as a good tempered, very social teenager🙃. I don’t regret one penny of all my puppy and I gained. Sometimes you don’t realize what a gift you have been given until it is over.
Our pup has been going on adventures with U.b. and having the time of her life! U.b is super communicative, and they send us the most awesome pup updates and photos! They have gone out of their way to make sure our shy pup has a good experience in the car and we couldn't be more grateful! Thank you, U.b!!
Had the best experience with this company. My mom and I had finally planned a vacation together and we were going to be gone for over a week, we have had bad experiences with family watching our dogs for us so we wanted someone we could really trust and count on. Not only are our dogs clingy and high maintenance but one of them is elderly and needs extra special care. We were set up with Caroline and we instantly felt like she was the perfect fit. She’s incredibly kind and has a good calming energy around the pups. She took the best care of them and our home while we were away. We had an extremely long list of care for the dogs (which would overwhelm the average person!) and she did every single thing perfectly. We will definitely be booking again☺️
My dog comes home tired and happy! Love the staff, they take great care of the dogs and are very attentive! They even recognized that my puppy needs naps during the day to help her make it to the evening without getting grumpy. Highly recommend!
The staff here is incredible and I feel completely safe leaving my pup with them. My dog always is thrilled to go to daycare and comes home as a tired, snuggle dream dog. The folks are kind, thoughtful, and really flexible on days we come. Pick up/drop off is a breeze and never takes longer than a minute. One thing, the space isn’t ginormous. It’s a good size for the number of dogs, but I often wish there was more space for both the employees and pups alike. However - can’t beat the location!
I travel often to Portland on business and like to bring along my Aussie-doodle for company on the long drive from California. But keeping her active and entertained while I work has been hard on both of us. Colleagues suggested dog daycare as a solution and No Bonz is great. The staff is wonderful, the facility is convenient and the hours are extended so that I could drop her off early and pick her up at the end of my day. The dog cam is a fabulous way to see how the dogs are doing. Cannot imagine taking her anywhere else. What a terrific service for those of us who travel with dogs, but who need a sitter for a few hours or a whole day. So happy to have found this fabulous facility.
My 6 month old pup Baloolah had her first day of day care here today. She was a bit shy but then got more comfortable. The staff was sweet in telling me about her day and how she handled this new environment. I picked up a very happy dog today :) Being able to watch the dogs on camera from my phone or computer is pretty great too #spycam. We will definitely be back! I appreciate the attentiveness and kind attitude of the staff. Thanks!
This place is great! They actually are open before I have to be at work and stay open until after I get off work, unlike so many other daycares. The manager, Mike is so awesome and nice. My dogs love him and he knows every dogs name by heart. Opal has such a sweet gentle way with the dogs and treats them like they were her own. The place always smells good when I come in and my dogs are always happy when they leave. I highly recommend bringing your pets here!
This place is seriously amazing. My dog has never been happy to go to a daycare yet going here he seems reluctant to leave the little traitor. The employees are really top notch. Their rates are fair and they are real professionals who know how to have fun and wear an active dog out for the day. I will be going here for a long time to come.
Excellent Doggie Daycare. Our 9 month old Cocker Spaniel is having a great time at No Bones About It. I have found the staff to be extremely attentive, kind and caring toward the dogs. It's a wonderful facility and it would be easy to imagine a bunch of toddlers playing on the slides and ramps. Vinnie now jumps into his car carrier with the hopes that is where he is heading. I also like the flexibility of choosing days rather than having to commit to any sort of regular schedule. I recommend them highly!
My dog and I love this place so much! It is no-frills, but I trust my dog's instincts, and his reaction tells me all I need to know. At other daycares, he whined and tried to pull back from the door, even after months. But beginning with his second day at No Bonz, he scrambled right in...I cease to exist once the building is in his sight. The staff care and love dogs SO much. They are always up and interacting with them every time I log on to the cams. Once when picking my dog up, the front desk person went to the back and said, "I need Asher," and I heard someone else say a disappointed, "aww!" 😄 You won't get a report card here -- the employees are too busy paying attention to your dog -- but they'll tell you how he did and anything you need to watch out for. They were willing to work with my rescue boy, who has some emotional baggage and has failed daycare evals and even been kicked out of one. They offer a discount for employees of major health systems in the area, and best of all for me, they open at 6:30 so I can be at work by 7. Asher and I are so fortunate to have found No Bonz! 💕
Whenever we tell Stella Blue she is going to doggie daycare, she gets so excited. She loves No Bonz. I have peace of mind knowing she is in good hands with staff that love her. I love the fact that I can check in on her and the other dogs playing throughout the day. The best part is she is as tired as me at the end of the day.
My Layla Maxine loves No Bonz and so do I. Best staff, clean and safe conditions. Highly recommend. My dog is like my child so she doesn’t go often without me except to daycare. ❤️
