Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!
I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for. They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention. She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend Julia and Chris.
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Zeewoi.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, $18/week per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Zeewoi.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Zeewoi cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
The best experience!! Everything was top notch from drop off, daily updates, pictures, and pick up; Bridge of the Paws will forever be where I bring my fur babies. I drove from Hillsboro and the drive is most definitely worth it all. My girl was returned to me so healthy and happy. Thank you, Bridge of the Paws team for providing a most excellent holiday stay for my girl!!!
The whole experience was wonderful! Lawson was kind and gentle with our dogs. We have an unpredictable dog and Lawson allowed our dog to warm up to him at his own pace. When we picked them up it’s like they had been friends forever! Lawson sent pictures of our dogs throughout their stay. His prices are great and he’s easy to work with. The best dog care experience we have ever had!
We sent our rather rambunctious Young Bernadoodle to Lawson and he did great work for us. He taught her to look at us while going on walks and he helped immensely with her jumping up on people. What we gained was invaluable control of our dog as she is now 65 lbs at 7 months of age and quite strong. I appreciate his professionalism as a trainer and his flexibility with schedules. He is a kind hearted person to deal with. Thanks Lawson, Jeff and Colleen Dahl and Esther our doggie.
We've been with Lawson since the beginning and couldn't be bigger fans. Our dog Max LOVES Lawson and his crew, and Lawson is a complete gem and great to work with.
OMG!! The absolute best dog boarding company ever !!! I found this gem on a Google search and they are awesome! They treated my dog unbelievably! The owner Lawson and Megan treated my dog like he was Royaltyl! I got pictures every day and I felt that he was loved and cared for! If you have to board your fur family definitely take him to Bridge of the Paws!!! Unbelievable experience !!!
We took our little guys to visit Lawson while we spent the weekend at Carson Hot Springs. They got to hang out with other pups, and explore the miles of trails. Great experience! Highly recommend.
Excellent and friendly services. I highly recommend bridge of the paws. throughout my pups stay I received photos everyday. He was well took in care of. I will be using them again in the future.
Our new favorite boarding facility. Management has an exceptional understanding of canine behavior. The owner is flexible, easy going and dedicated. BOP offers a very natural and tranquil atmosphere, where our dog can still be a dog.
Bridge of the Paws was a fantastic experience. Curtis was professional, communicative, and most importantly great with my fur babies. He gave us peace of mind so we could focus on our wedding. The property was great and the pups were exercised. The dogs came back happy and healthy! I will ABSOLUTELY be using Bridge of the Paws again.
Amazing humans run this place. They’ll love your pets as much as you do. Seriously. So much heart and passion in these people. Extremely trustworthy and personable. Highly, highly recommend.
Love the owners. They always respond to messages. They really do love the dogs as they were their own. Very clean facility. Always look forward to our visits.
I took my 1.5 year old husky/German shepherd here for a overnight . Everything from the meet and great, to the drop off and pickup was extraordinary. My dog was able to run and play with other dogs and not be cooped up in a kennel all day. It was great to have the peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands . This is the only place we will board our dog moving forward .
I dropped off my two dogs for a day care trial ( a Rottie and a frenchie) at this place thinking that they would take good care of my dogs and hoping that my dogs would have good experience because the owner convinced us that they would be given the care they needed, i warned the owner that my frenchie is easily overheated. Instead my Frenchie was literally dying when we picked her up. She was over heated so bad that her tongue was turning blue, she was whizzing, she couldn't breathe, she could barely walk to greet us. She puked multiple times as soon as i put her in the car!! I asked the owner what happened to her, he asked me back 'I don't know , you tell me what happened to her?'. What The Hell????!!! She was there all day long with him!!! Any idiot can tell my dog was dying!!! I asked him stuff he kept saying he doesn't know. Turned out i figured out that they just abandoned my dogs out in their field without a place to cool down all they long. No one checked on them. If i came 5-10 minutes late to pick them up my Frenchie would have been dead. I thought i lost my baby that day. It was so terrible. Both of my dogs are traumatized in this place. My Rottie ran up to us and jumped straight in the car. Not even a single looked back at the guy. He was so miserable in this place. I could tell. The whole time i was panicking trying to save my Frenchie there was no single apology from the owner instead he was playing dumb/ underestimated the condition of my Frenchie. It was a very traumatizing experience. So much for a good day care experience. More like pay me for abandoning your dogs in my field. Update to my review. The next day my Rotty is sick he has super messy poop and is lethargic. I can only imagine what my dogs been through in this daycare. This place is a nightmare.
I met with the owner in person for an hour and a 1/2 to 2 hours discussing the boarding of my puppy, which ultimately resulted in a "no-go" for my pup--Waffles, a puppy under a year. The discussion was authentic, professional, insightful, and personal. The time and energy spent was heartfelt and very much appreciated. I will see you in a few years!
I left my 2 dogs here (Ellie and Miss Doggy Parton) while I went away for 8 days and cannot recommend it enough! We looked at places in Portland, but did not feel comfortable leaving them at the boarding places we checked out due to lack of comfort on not only our end but our dogs. Finding Bark Run Play seriously left us feeling so comforted knowing our dogs were in good hands! Kerry & Brian are not only kind, but amazing with dogs. One of our dogs is stand off-ish with people and was living on them when we returned back. They even sent us cute photos with a quick update while we were away. The dogs aren’t locked up in crates or stuck in a building all day - they get to run around outside and have a doggy vacation while you’re on yours. We are super grateful we found this place, can’t stop telling everyone at the dog parks, and will definitely bring our pups back when our future plans require it! Thanks Kerry & Brian! 🌞
Bark Run Play is the best dog care facility that you could ever hope for! If you read any reviews at all please read this one if you are searching for a place to take the best care of your animal while you’re away. They are professional, reliable, trustworthy & they have the cleanest facilities at all times, they always send me pictures and updates throughout my trips to let me know that my dog is loving his home away from home but most importantly they truly love my dog. Look no further, you will not be disappointed & your dog will be forever thankful to you for leaving him or her in their care!
I feel like I won the game for my two dogs. I almost felt like they didn't want to come home. It is so refreshing to know that your dogs are having a blast, well taken care of and under supervision of experts in dog behavior while in Kerry and Brian's care. Scheduling was easy, paperwork was thorough and service beyond any expectation I had. Watching my two keep going over to Brian at pick up for pats and kisses rather then charging to get out the door says it all. Charlie and Banjo can't wait to return.
We left our dogs there for 4 days while we flew out of state, and as far as I can tell our dogs had a good time. Before we boarded them, we had to take our dogs to the meet and greet, where we met one of the owners who was very nice and she kinda told us how they run things and showed us where the dogs will be staying. Then when we dropped the dogs off a week or so later we met the other owner, and he was super nice too. They both know a lot about dogs and know how to handle different kinds of breeds and different dogs needs. They even texted us pictures of our dogs during their stay to let us know how they were. All in all, including the low price, the whole thing was excellent and I will definitely come back if I need to board my dogs again.
Brian and Kerry took excellent care of our 11 month old lab. He got to run and play so much during his weekend stay that he slept all day when he got home! They were really good about keeping us updated with text messages and photos of our boy while we were gone, which helped us relax and enjoy our weekend. We will definitely use them again, and would highly recommend them!
We trusted our dogs to the Happy Pet and we could not be more satisfied. One of our dogs, Maggie, is truly a special-needs dog, being very shy and insecure around strangers. We've tried everything, but she just needs a lot of time to warm up to strangers. One reason we chose this place is because we wanted to shake up Maggie's routine some, and give her exposure to strangers. The owners of the Happy Pet worked with her every day, investing their time and energy to make her feel safe and secure; and in one week had her comfortable and happy. Even visitors to our house take longer for her to get comfortable. The owners checked in several times while we were away to let us know how the dogs were and sent us pictures of them having fun playing in their open fields. The kennel is a bit out of the way, but that's part of the magic. They are out in the country and have large open runs for the dogs. While we expected muddy messes, when we picked up the dogs they were both clean and very happy. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.
Lindsay and Matt are THE BEST! I brought my young dog there, 9 mos., and they took such great care of her. Matt took his time to answer all of my questions to assure me that she would be fine with them. From the lighting in the kennels to mirror the time of day at home to quiet time so the dogs could nap peacefully. One of them was always outside with the dogs to monitor them and be sure the "pack" got along ;)They would only let dogs that they felt were a good fit play together on the property. They also took into consideration how young my dog was and took extra care with her because of her age.They were on it! Since I haven't boarded her before I was nervous to leave her. No worries there. Lindsay kept in touch with me with texting and sending pictures. I will definitely take her there again and am so happy and LUCKY that I found them! Thank you again, Lindsay and Matt~
Pogba and Benzema love Woof and Tumble! I have taken my boys here several times and am always thrilled with the experience. I never have to worry because I know how well they are being taken care of. The facility is very well maintained and put together. I swear my dogs sleep for days when they get home because they had so much fun. I would highly recommend Woof and Tumble. If I could give them more than 5 stars I absolutely would. I love that I occasionally get pictures of the dogs having fun while they are there as well.
We love woof and tumble! They've been so accommodating and personable with us, always sending a few photo updates during our dogs stay. Worth the drive up the hills.
This is a very safe, very focused dog boarding facility. If you are a first time boarder, there will be a trial, one night boarding to test if your dog is OK there. The owners do not charge for this night. The reasoning is solid. This insures your dog will be familiar with the environment when the boarding date arrives as well as testing the dog's amenability to the facility. It works! Both Matt and Lindsay are very hands on with dog care. Small and large dogs are managed in like groups. They pay attention to behavior and place dog well-being front and center. I have 2 mini poodles who were well cared for and given attention when there. Minis are attention sponges and they understand the different breeds. Make your reservations early. There is a reason this facility is well booked, the owners really love what they do and it shows. They are devoted to their business.
I have a rescue havanese who has had huge stranger fear. He has been going to Woof and Tumble for 2 yrs. Corey just loves it there. Every time we board him he has become more and more social. In fact, he loves playing with all the dogs, even the huge ones! His socialization has carried over in other places. Matt, one of the owners, has been great with Corey. Matt has trained police dogs so this 20 lb cutie is no challenge to him. Whenever we take him there, as we approach the property Corey starts waging happily and greeting the dogs with his talking bark. We have never worried leaving him at Wood and Tumble. It is a dog haven with lots to outdoor kiddie park toys and pools. Corey is just staying with family when he's boarded! Thank you guys! We love you.
This place is fantastic! I have two younger dogs who are used to playing with other dogs at the park and always get at least 1.5-2 hours of playtime daily. The thought of having them cooped up in a kennel while I was away playing was stressful and sad. I have known Matt for years and think very highly of him. I recently met Lindsey and she’s just as awesome! I was so excited when I found out about their place and brought the pups there. It’s an amazing facility and they simply love dogs! My pups loved it and I got regular updates and photos while I was away. Now I don’t have to feel guilty and can relax when it’s vacation time. I know they’re having fun and being well cared for here. I highly recommend this place.
Updated 8/27/23: I want to renew this review because Woof and Tumble continues to be our local boarding and play kennel serving Clark County friendly Dogs and their much loved people. It is just a great place to take you dog(s) if you need to be away in circumstances that don’t allow you best 🐾♥️🐾 to travel with you. Lindsey and Matt’s pricing is reasonable and I leave my dog always knowing that he is in good, capable and very caring hands with people who love him and who he loves too. I have a black lab, who has been going to Woof & Tumble when I travel for work and can’t take him for the past several years. We didn’t know the former owner, but we are sure pleased that the Hanson Family has the business now. My lab squeals with glee every time we start driving up the canyon to go to W&T. My Boy loves Matt and Lindsey as much as he does me and I always know that he is in the best care available anywhere when he is with them. I always know too when I pick him up that I have returned to a very happy well exercised boy who has gotten to run and play ball with his friends under the watchful and protective supervision of care givers I can completely trust without reservation. The kennel area is clean and climate controlled so the dogs are comfortable year round and the outdoor play areas are clean, well maintained and protected by a high storm fence. Woof & Tumble is a few miles up WRR, Hughs and Skye Roads, but the roads are well maintained and the boarding kennels are very easy to locate. Woof & Tumble is an incredible blessing to friendly dogs and the owners who love them throughout our area and my pup and I are really glad that Lindsey and Matt are a part of our busy lives 🐾💗🐾,
I am one of three chihuahuas that get to hang out at Woof and Tumble, aka "outdoor school," when our owners go away on a trip and don't need our supervision. We are well taken care of, whether it's exploring and chasing woodland creatures that come near our outside realm or getting attention and snuggles from the staff. The folks there make sure we get our meds, prepare our meals, and send our owners updates on how our vacation is going. While we don't provide any revenue to our household, or have any concept of economics, but we feel strongly this is a worthwhile investment into your dog's happiness.
So, so, so glad a friend recommended Woof and Tumble! My two pups (a 12yo geriatric dog and 7-month-old) were well taken care of - food, sleeping, love, safety, structure, AND socialization. We didn't worry one bit while we were away because it was easy to see that owners Matt and Lindsay really understand and care about dogs. My two had a great time at "camp" over the holidays and are tuckered out after all the fun. 5 stars for sure ... I'd give them 6 if I could!
We've had such a great experience boarding our Doberman with Woof and Tumble. She's stayed with them several times now and always comes home happy, tired, and dirty from playing with new friends. With a free trial over night before leaving our dog with them, we felt confident that Matt and Lindsey are not only professional but were impressed that they were willing to take the time needed to make sure our dog would assimilate to their environment. One thing we really love is that the dogs are never left alone when playing together. We've driven up several times during play time, and as promised, someone (often the whole family) is outside supervising the dogs. Other boarding facilities in the area (Running Pond Acres comes to mind) leave groups of dogs unsupervised, sometimes for hours at a time, in an area they won't show owners for "insurance reasons", which is not an environment we would ever want to leave our dog in. The Woof and Tumble team is also super proactive in communication. During one stay, our pup strained her back leg and we were notified as soon as it was discovered, and then received updates after each subsequent play outing she went on. She ended up being totally fine, but we felt good knowing that they were paying attention to her enough to notice a slight limp, and then to reach out to let us know. Our only complaint is that Woof and Tumble is so popular! We're not great at getting our reservation booked well in advance and have missed chances to have our pup stay with them when they've been booked full. We love them so much that we try to convince our friends in Portland and Beaverton to bring their dogs here even though it's so far from them! We don't think there's a better facility around.
My girl started off a timid rescue. Wet Noses has been amazing! They have really helped her to find her confidence with other dogs and people. They are great at communicating, sending emails when vaccines are due, info on the dog exhibiting sickness or other issues. My dogs looks forward to her days at Wet Noses, whining with excitement when we pull into the parking lot. I recommend them to everyone!
Wet Noses and Wagging Tails is awesome! I take my two dogs there every week and they always come back happy and tired. Staff is very friendly and flexible with drop off times. I love that they take photos of the dogs during the day too. I would recommend them for any dog owner! Thanks for taking care of these crazy dogs, Wet Noses and Wagging Tails!
We have been using wet Noses for multiple years, for both weekly daycare and boarding. The staff is amazing and truly care about your dogs. Both dogs are excited eveytime we pull up and exhausted when we pick them up. We have and will continue to recommend. They are AMAZING!!!!
This was Buddy’s first time going to doggy daycare so we were kinda nervous about how it might go. Buddy is a very high energy Aussie so we were concerned that he might be too much. Our concerns were for naught. Employees at Wet Noses & Wagging Tails are well experienced with high energy dogs and were actually excited to meet Buddy. Buddy had a great time and the best part was, he was totally exhausted! 😆
Our dog Cooper absolutely loves WNWT. He gets so excited he starts barking as soon as we turn onto the road leading to it. It is reassuring when your pet is so excited about being left at doggy daycare. He’s never responded that way to anywhere else we’ve ever taken him. He comes home tired and happy every time! Thank you WNWT staff for loving him and taking such good care of him!
We just started taking Sadie to daycare and boarding and she loves it. She is so excited to go for either the day or a sleepover. The staff is absolutely wonderful with dogs. I mean look at the grin Sadie has, that says it all. She’s one happy dog!
This review is long overdue. My spoiled princess has been going to Wet Noses for some time now and I sometimes think she may love them more than she loves me. Their love for everyone's babies is hard to miss, they treat each and every pet as of it was their very own. I'm so thankful to have found them to help me in caring for my Mina🌹! 🐾
Our dog, Maddie, has been attending doggie day care since she was a pup. We love the time she spends at WNWT knowing she is loved and is safe interacting with her buddies and the friendly staff.
The best thing that could have happened to us and for our pup Regal is finding Wet Noses & Wagging Tails! From day 1, the staff has been just awesome! Her 1st day of school at just 4 months old all the staff really took care to nurture her timid personality. Regal completely feels at home there now and all the staffers have been so kind watching her grow up. W just LOVE that she can stay in doors with her friends when wet and cold out or outside on nice dry days. It has helped her so much in learning to socialize and more importantly to get her very much needed exercise fix. She just loves it, can't wait to rush in to her pals and when the day is done strolls out nice and tuckered out from a long day's play. Thank you so much WN & WT!!
We were so nervous taking our (also nervous) dog to daycare and boarding for the first time. Our fears were quickly averted - they are helpful, friendly, and above all they love the dogs! I appreciated the extensive vet checklist and the fact that every dog goes through a temperament test before being admitted into the facility. It makes me feel like my dog is safe around all the other dogs. Love the photos and updates, couldn't be happier with the service.
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!
Ms Edie is the BEST pet sitter, period. She's been my go to sitter since we moved to the area in 2015. She treats my animals like her own, and they all love her. We have dogs, cats, chickens, and goats. She's always on time, super reliable, and she's walked half a mile through the snow to get to my house when her car couldn't quite make it up the hill.
Edie has such a gift with animals. She is loving, caring, calm and in control. She took two extremely high anxiety dogs, stayed with them 24/7 for 6 days while we went on our first vacation in almost 4 years. She kept us updated through texts and pics to allay our fears throughout the vacation. When we returned, the work she had done with them to reduce their anxiety and barking was incredible. We cannot kennel our dogs due to their healthy issues so she was a godsend. Cannot recommend highly enough. If your pets are a valued member of your family, do yourself a solid and provide the highest quality care available. You will not be sorry!
We all love Miss Edie!
Jan deserves 5 stars, we’ve left our dog with her many times and always know he’s in good hands. She has a lot of experience with dogs and is very good with them. Kennels are clean, warm, and dogs are walked twice a day!
Awesome experience! Got a great vibe from the owner, who was super accommodating for drop off/pick up. Didn’t worry about my girl for a minute. It was obvious that Jen has years of experience and has the wisdom and confidence to show for it. The kennel itself was basic, but very clean & cozy. The property was beautiful and the dogs get daily walks in nature. Price was very reasonable and included food, treats, and any little medicine needed to navigate poorly tummies, etc. if they come up. When I picked up, my girl looked healthy (maybe even chunky from all the love she got), happy, and in good health!
So glad I found this place. Jan, the owner, is super friendly and demonstrates great enthusiasm and care for the animals under her care.
I wouldn't trust anyone but Jan with my dogs.... I have been a client of Jan's for several years. She is well caring for my dogs, and treats all of her boarding dogs with love and respect. Jan is very knowledgeable with dogs and the training of dogs, Jan is excellent with small and large breed dogs. As her and her husband were trainers of police dogs. You will not have any concerns when you meet Jan and see the large fenced acreage she has available for the kennel. My dogs and I look forward to our visits at Happy Barker Kennel.
Jan has countless years of hands on experience in caring for and training dogs of all breeds. She is so great with all the dogs she cares for and makes herself available all throughout the year. The kennels are clean and spacious. They are on her beautiful and natural property that is easy to find!
Jan has many years of experience working with dogs. I trust her care, and my dog gets very excited when I drop him off with her, I know he's in good hands.
Jan is the best. My dog Rudy went there his entire life and Jan took care of him like her own. She s an awesome lady.
Jan Fry was great love her she took our older pit for many trips. She also took my new rescue pit/mix who is very Leary of new people. 8 days later she was best buds.
While leaving the dog to go on vacation never feels awesome, I trust he's being well cared for at Happy Barker. Jan is very sweet, lets us know how he's been while we were away, and went above and beyond this last time, when he had a minor problem. As is the nature of vacations in the NW, we usually leave when the weather is worst here, and Pam does everything she can to make sure the dogs stay warm - blankets, doghouses, even space heaters (at a safe distance). To be clear, this is not doggie day care. Doggie day care is not for every dog, or every budget. For our semi-needy, not-always-friendly-with-other-dogs, dog, Happy Barker Kennel is a perfect fit. He loves the walks he gets on the large wooded property. We will be back!
Jan is the best!!! Completely reliable care, attention to detail and affordable. I am always reassured when I go out of town now.
I LOVE this place! The little welcoming area doesn't even begin to allow you to understand just how great it is. I took my 1year old Frenchie who has never been in this type of environment. For $5 i get an update each day to see how she was playing, anything information important to know and the report card is just such an incredible offer. The humans who work there are so attentive and supportive to the pups. They are very kind when you engage with them in any form. The prices are beyond reasonable. The place is so much bigger for the dogs and has so many little offerings you can purchase. The boarding is free roam no crates. My girl comes home so pooped out and happy that she has a place to play and board if I go out of town. I have zero complaints and highly recommend!!
We've been taking our 9 month old puppy here for a few months now and we love it (and so does he!). The staff is super friendly and very clearly care a LOT about the dogs that go to them. I love love love the daily Instagram posts, I get more excited to see what he's doing at daycare than I think I ever was about my human kids at daycare (kidding. Or am I?). Webster gets SO excited when we get there, and I can tell that he loves it and loves the humans there. Also their hours are so convenient, and love that they offer kennel-free boarding.
Wooftastic is one of the best things to happen to us since moving here. Our girl has a lot of energy and this place has made a home for her there when she needs time to run around and be a crazy little lady. We always feel that she is so well taken care of, we love their no crate boarding, which is what she was used to. Everyone is kind and attentive and we would recommend this place to anyone who has a doggy that needs daycare or boarding.
We've been lucky enough to send our precious dog Georgia to Wooftastic for the past 8 months. They've always been so nice and welcoming when we pick and drop her off. They have great hours and rates. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in search of a good doggy daycare.
Fern loves going to daycare. The way they run scheduling, pick up and drop off, and payment makes everything super smooth. Staff is very friendly and always makes sure to ask if he has food with him and reminds me to grab his container at the end of the day. Also love the convenient hours 6am-9pm, 7 days a week as well as a good price point. They post all of the dogs everyday so you can check in on your pup they also offer extras like treats and walks and do fun activities like bubbles, aromatherapy, nose balm. Overall great place definitely would recommend.
I am so happy and grateful to have found Woof-Tastic for my pup, Maya! I have been SO impressed with the kindness of the staff, their communication, and care. The environment is bright and fun and just matches what you read and see online. And I can tell Maya, although still a little timid and shy, is warming up, feeling safe, and having a great time! I feel so relieved and can not reccomend Woof-Tastic enough! <3
My sweet Ruby is always so excited to go to daycare. The team there takes such good care of her and I never have to worry while I’m away. She comes home happy & exhausted. 10/10 would recommend!
I’ll let my dog’s smile speak for itself. I’m so happy we found Woof-Tastic! The flexible booking system is easy, and I feel my dog is safe with them which is important. My girl got so excited to go on her 2nd day that she couldn’t wait to say goodbye and go see her friends. The rates are more than fair, which is a big plus. 10/10.
We absolutely LOVE Wooftastic Playhouse! Our dog has so much fun there. He is safe and well loved. They post pictures of all the dogs to their Instagram each day, which I love! There's no other place that I've felt as confident boarding my pup. I highly recommend them!!!
This has been the best daycare for tater. He loves it. No hesitation to go in. He plays and runs with the others. Very happy compared to the last daycare he was at. Thank u
Susie's is absolutely amazing! Our Kono loves it there! Everyone there is so sweet and take such wonderful care of our little princess. Drop off and pick up is easy and smooth. She was excited to see us but didn't want to leave either! I highly recommend Susie's I'd give a 10 if I could!
I'd never boarded my dogs before. I always had house sitters. I tried Susie's and I was pleased. My dogs seemed happy when I picked them up and didn't smell. When I took them back the second time they seemed happy to be there, so obviously no hard feelings from before. The folks were easy to work with and the check in, check out process was smooth. Nice job folks!
I was helping friends while they were on vacation in Greece. I had to pick up and drop off Barnum, their dog, several times. The staff that work here are so wonderful. You can tell right away how much they love all the pets. I would definitely recommend Susie's and if I had a pet I would not take it anywhere else. You guys are the best.
If I were a dog, I would want my owner to board me at Susie's. Joking aside, I've used Susie's to look after my 3 dogs many times over the last couple of years and have had a consistently excellent experience. I have no doubt how much the people who work there love animals, it shows, and it gives me total peace of mind leaving my boys with them. Additionally, they are wonderful people, kind and helpful. I cannot recommend them enough.
Greatest place and group of folks in the world. If you want a great safe place for your pet to stay at look no further! Absolutely love this place. Suzie, Bobby and Sarah are awesome!
This is the only boarding facility where I wasn’t worried about the well-being of my 3 pups while I was away. Adorable and thought setup. Friendly owner. Extra clean facility. Fair prices. The only kennel we’ll use in Vancouver. Make sure you book early- they are popular and space is hard to come by!
This place deserves all of the awards it can get. And so do the people. I’ll never take my dog anywhere else. Susie’s Country Inn is amazing.
I NEVER leave my dog! However I had to board him for several days & I'm so fortunate a friend told me about Susie's. Welcoming, clean, wonderful staff, excellent care of my baby and reasonably priced. Years ago I had a bad experience leaving my dog so I am very critical of any facility. Susie's ticks all the boxes. You can safely entrust your fur baby to their care.
Susie is a fantastic trainer and she runs an excellent, clean facility that cares about you and your dogs. We have had to leave town fairly frequently and Susie has been dependable, her staff is friendly, the drop-off process is thoughtful and clear. I can't say enough about the facility itself; it has a great vibe. It's welcoming and professional. I know my pets are safe. We feel so very fortunate to have Susie and her team to care for our pets when life takes us out of town. Would recommend, thank you.
Susie's is a great place to board your pet. They are so kind! It's always a good sign when your fur friend is pulling you across the parking lot to go inside. We love these guys and have had nothing but positive experiences.
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.
I have four senior kitties who are difficult to take care of: they all have medical issues, take different medications, eat different foods, and are generally wary of strangers. For all these reasons, it’s always been nerve wracking for me to travel and I avoid it as much as I can (and usually worry the entire time I’m gone). I found Ginger’s services and was encouraged by her stellar reviews, and she really is a godsend! My normally shy cats all loved her when she came to meet them and learn about our routine a week before our trip. She was able to medicate them easily and to get purrs out of them (unheard of with previous sitter!). I got video and photo updates after each visit, and for the first time in years was able to actually enjoy my trip! I cannot recommend her enough… thanks to her I might now get to enjoy a weekend away every now and then without worrying or feeling guilty, what a treat!
We had an awful experience. I left my dogs there from Wednesday to Sunday. When I got there to pick up my dogs, my English Bulldog was brought out with his leash around his neck. He smelled awful. All I could smell was pee. His eye has a hole in it. An ulcer (that he did not have before his stay I have pics of him that morning and it shows his eye was fine). The hole goes down to the lowest layer of tissue. He lost all vision from the injury/infection. It's going to be an 8 week recovery. I have to take him back to the ophthalmologist to see if his eye is healing or if he will have to have surgery. There is a chance he will lose his eye. I emailed Countryside to see what their policy is and why they didn't contact me or our emergency contact and they said they didn't see a problem with his eye. They never did tell me their policy and started saying that my dog was just hard to control and a difficult dog despite the report card they gave that said he was well behaved with no problems. All the guy wanted to do was argue about my dog. I had to tell him I don't want to argue and to please email me and then I hung up. I have been using them off and on for 20 years and never had a problem but recently found out while sharing my experience that they have a new manager and things have not been the same since this change. I left my baby healthy and now he could lose his eye.. Best case his eye will 'heal' but he still won't regain vision. I am heart broken and would never let any one I know leave their baby in Countrysides care. Please be careful when boarding your dogs anywhere and if you do board at any kennel ask them to go over your dogs physical appearance when you drop them off. Also ask what their policy is if there is a health problem that arises from their neglect. #paquitogriz
Great experience and the dogs love it there!!! They are always so excited when we pull in they forget that they were just nervous about going away!
Finding this place, so close to home, and so caring for the pets, has been a blessing. Our pup Bowie was a bit hesitant about day stays at first, but they (the numerous very helpful and compassionate employees) assured us he would warm up, and boy has he. He went from needing to be carried from the car, to now barely containing his excitement coming down the driveway for the all day fun with his dog friends. He's made soooo many, and we see video of his play with his buddies, and just love seeing him have fun with his bigger bros. Then when he comes home, it's lights out all night!
Well I just picked up my dog two days ago after staying here for 5 nights. Her nose was rubbed raw, which I was told it’s from rubbing it on the kennel. That’s not even the worst of it! When they brought me her bedding it was wet and stunk of urine. Our dog is 110% potty trained and does not have accidents. Then when they brought me my dog her coat looked off and she smelled just like her bedding. It’s as if she was sleeping in a soiled bed for god only knows how many nights. Once I got her home I immediately gave her a bath and threw out the bedding. That night I noticed she had diarrhea ( this did resolve by the next day). However the next day she started making an awful hacking/coughing sound. Well a few calls and a trip the urgent care vet she is diagnosed with kennel cough! We’ve only used this facility twice but will NOT be returning!
First time boarding our 2 dogs ever for 2 weeks. They came home happy and healthy! I was so nervous but the dogs did so good. I would definitely board there again and again.
Countryside always takes great care of our dog. We bring him for boarding and grooming services and have always had great experiences.
Buddy loves the Country Pet Spa ! And I'm pretty sure they love him too!
Great. I’ve brought my dog here several times, first time was when I had my twins. They listen to my message about wiping my bloodhounds ears down so he doesn’t get a ear infection. Also 4 mins from my place so perfect location
Our dog is not traumatized after being there, which is a good thing 😉 …
This place is great. They board dogs and cats which is unusal to have both in one location. They treat our cat and dog with love and care.
