Dog Sitters in Harmony

My wife and I were feeling hopeless when it came to boarding our mini Goldendoodle. It was difficult to find a good location, fair pricing and someone trustworthy to take care of our pup when we were out of town. Finally we came across Holly’s website and were immediately intrigued. We reached out and Holly was so responsive and caring. We got a meet and greet scheduled right away and it went amazing. Holly and her family are so welcoming and easy to communicate with. It has been such a relief to have found Holly and now we always know we have a reliable plan for where our dog will stay when we need help with her. Our favorite part is the daily photo updates we get from Holly when she is watching our dog ♥️ thank you, Holly!

Holly was very easy to work with, responsive to communications, and thoughtful about taking care of my pup. I had a great trip knowing she was in good hands. The daily pics were not only adorable but high quality, too! Will definitely choose Holly again :)

We are so thrilled we found Holly Hearts Animals for our dogs first boarding experience. Holly took amazing care of her needs, gave her daily outings, and spoiled her as if she was her own. My husband and I really appreciated the daily updates & photos of her time in Holly’s care!

This review is long over-due. Holly has been caring for our 4 animals (2 cats and 2 dogs) for quite a while now, and she has been absolutely stellar! She is very communicative and very compassionate in the care of our animals. Pricing is fair. Two of our animals have medical issues and one of our dogs in particular has some mobility issues. Holly is always attentive and ensures our pup gets to play without pushing herself too far (she would play fetch all day if she could). When Holly cares for your animals, you can tell she really treats them like family. I would recommend her 100%. Thank you Holly for all you do for our family! PS: She takes some pretty great photos!

We always feel comfortable having Holly watch our two cats while we're away! Holly is responsive, lets us know if there are any issues, and sends the cutest daily photo updates. She goes above and beyond to make sure they feel loved (and we're updated) while we are away!

We left our pet rabbit with Holly for a week. I knew right away that she was in good hands. Holly carefully went over all the instructions with us before we said good bye and made sure our little bunny had a comfortable set up. Then, amazingly, we got wonderful photos and updates throughout the week. Everyone was having a good time together. We were so grateful to have found Holly to share their home and attention with our little friend. Holly is really special.

Our dog loved her stay with Holly and family so much and it was such a huge relief for us to know she was being well taken care of while we were gone. Holly sent daily pictures which were much appreciated. Highly recommend!

Holly provided care for our two cats for a week. I could tell by the cute pictures she sent each day that the cats were very comfortable with her. She even took care of an ant evasion we had, putting out ant traps we had to keep the pests away from the cat food! She always replied promptly to texts we sent while away. I will definitely use her services again.

Holly has taken care of my kitty a couple times now and has done such a good job. She checks on my girl reliably and sends me photo updates everyday so I feel reassured that everything is ok back home. Vacations are so much more relaxing when I know my fur baby is being looked after. I highly recommend Holly!

Holly has been incredible with our 1+ yo dog, Maggie. Maggie is full of energy and love and needs a lot of attention and play. Holly expertly guides Maggie through her days and always sends us lots of great photos to put our minds at ease. She has been very flexible to meet Maggie’s needs and our busy schedule. Her toddler is great around dogs, just like her mom!

Betsy and Amelia with Bowser’s Best Buddy are a cut above the rest. I see how much genuine love and care they show my pup, while offering positive and consistent training. My dog Otis attends their day program and has truly blossomed, from an excitable 1 year old adolescent to a well rounded, friendly, obedient member of their pack. Betsy has offered such valuable recommendations on how I could continue the training approach at home to keep advancing his knowledge. I found Betsy as I looked for a day program that wasn’t a larger scale “daycare” space. Betsy did a careful screening to make sure Otis would fit well with the other dogs and slowly folded Otis into the mix. Now that Otis is a “regular,” it gives me peace of mind that any newcomers to the program will be similarly vetted and introduced. A year into attending the day program, Otis is thriving and I am so grateful for the Bowser’s team (Finn, the elder pup, included!)

My two pups absolutely adore Betsy!!!! She takes them for walks, comes by and feeds them when I’m delayed, and have stayed with her and loved their time there. She is always there to help her clients in a pinch. Such a caring woman💕 We are very happy to have “found” such special care. …

Betsy is reliable, communicative, and knowledgeable. From photo and video updates, to leash and manners training, and extra cuddle time, she is more than just a dog walker. I’m so grateful for Betsy and all of her work with Phoebe!

We have been taking our girl to Bowser’s since she was a puppy. Tuesday’s are her favorite day of the week. Betsy treats Pimm like her own and it’s such a relief to not have to worry about her while I’m working. I get pic and video updates during the day, like this gem. We love working with Betsy. She’s professional, a great communicator, and so welcoming to Pimm. If your pup can get a spot, their lucky!

Betsy is a gem! We have two cats, and when we leave to go out of town, we go in peace, because we know they are always so well cared for and loved by Betsy. We feel so fortunate to have found her. Her daily updates, photos, and videos are wonderful to receive and make us feel so close to our kitties, even when we are far away. I can’t imagine finding a more professional, thoughtful, and thorough pet caregiver. 5 stars all around!

An incredible place for my goldendoodle! She has an amazing time with the other dogs, is incredibly well looked after. I would trust Bowser’s Best Buddies with one of the most important things in my life any day!

You will never find anyone better. The improvement into dogs’ lives when Betsy started walking them was immeasurable. I think they love her more than they love me. Maybe I love her more than I love me! If you call anyone else you’re just making a mistake.

We have been using Bowser’s Best Buddy for our catsitting needs over the last two years. We are so grateful to have found Betsy! She always takes great care of our two cats. We look forward to receiving the pictures/videos she sends after each visit. It gives us peace of mind each time we travel knowing that Betsy is checking in on them. We can’t recommend her enough!!

Whenever I’m leaving town, I rely on Betsy to take great care of my furbaby. I feel like she treats my dog as her own and that gives me piece of mind. My dog is well taken care of and spoiled, even sleeping in Betsy’s bed. Betsy is super reliable and communicative. She sends me regular updates and pictures while my dog is in her care. I highly recommend Betsy to take care of your pet(s)!

We found Betsy about a year ago - and think she is fantastic!! Our three dogs love her as well....she comes for mid day visits when we are out of town. She never fails to send us photos and a detailed review of the visit - and also takes the time to make sure things in the house and yard are in order. Betsy is organized, reliable, trustworthy and most of all, loves my puppies. I highly recommend her to any pet owner!!!

We have used Corrine for years now. We are always able to vacation with such peace of mind knowing our anxious dog is well taken care of. She is so incredibly kind and patient with our dog that doesn't warm up easy to people. You can feel the love that Corrine has for all dogs.

My 18 year old blue heeler was very happy staying with Corrine . She sent daily updates and photos of my dog, and gave him homemade doggie treats. When I came to pick my dog up, he didn’t want to leave. Corrine took really great care of my dog! He’s really happy!

Corinne did an excellent job caring for our two dogs and an elderly cat. This was our first time using a non family member so we were very nervous. However, our dogs took to Corinne right off the bat. She communicated with us daily and sent pictures of our pets throughout our trip. Very pleased with our first experience of using a non family member to care for our kiddos!

Corinne has watched my dogs when I went on extended trips and my dogs were wonderfully cared for. I trust her completely and highly recommend her! Don't let some spam bot mislead you because you'll be missing out on someone who truly cares as much about your dog as you do.

I have used Corinne's services for awhile now and she is the best! She is reliable, gentle, and flexible. My pup is not trusting with new people but when she met Corinne she was instantly comfortable. She has a way with animals and truly cares about her clients. There have been several times when she has checked in with me about something she has noticed related to my pup's health (super appreciated as a new dog mom) that I've never had with others I've used in the past. Also she is so sweet and offered to make a treat for my dog's birthday! I highly recommend her 🙂

Corinne has been walking my 16 month old very hyper Labrador since February of this year. She has been very consistent, reliable and has a great rapport with Scout. She is great about updating me, she even brings my packages in! I am so blessed to have found her. Thank you Corinne. We love you

Corinne has been doing drop ins for our kitty, Ash for over a year. She is highly dependable, communicates with us so we know he’s doing well (love the photos!) and always gives his medication, snuggles and gives him wet food and treats! We are so lucky to have Corinne care for our (old,fussy) kitty! So sorry to learn people are saying untrue things about her!

Corinne is the most reliable and dependable dog walker I’ve ever had. She is extremely responsive and flexible, and always goes above and beyond to be there for me and my dog. She brings homemade cookies (both doggie and human!), and even made an entire cake for my dog’s birthday. She is simply the best!

Great business, highly recommend! Corinne has a wonderful rapport with dogs and I feel very lucky to have found her. She takes fantastic care of my pup, is very communicative, super reliable, and so knowledgeable. She’s smart, gentle and caring. And my pooch loves her cookies! Corinne is the whole package. I couldn’t do it without her.

The doses of high CBD in the treats are extremely dangerous. I don’t believe she is dosing them correctly and after spending hours and hundreds of dollars at the vet I was informed that was the reason my little benji was left like a zombie that evening. It was really scary. I’m all about supporting small businesses but Corinne stopped taking my calls and now has blocked me when I just want her to make things right .

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!

I love the free day opportunity. It is understandable sense my dog has been training through severe separation anxiety for a couple months after his previous owners kenneled him until he was 5 months. He's a quick study and the man that lead him into his dog daycare was the 1st my dog has ever gone with without pulling and the man saw that he was better the next day. Phew! I recommend this place. Check out the savings on the buying options. The price is right. Also feels like a good and happy neighborhood dog daycare. My dog came back tired and ready to eat. They have great prices on meals but I just feed him so he has a routine.

My beloved, healthy mini schnauzer DIED in their care from horrific injuries. Your dog is not safe with them. I trusted them with my sweet little pup and he never came back home.

I called to speak with someone about boarding my dog and they were so rude! I said, "Happy Friday! How are you?" To which they scoffed and replied, "What do you need?" I said I was thinking of boarding my dog, but not when they spoke to me like that. The person laughed and said, "That's fine." And hung up. if this is how they treat the humans, I worry how they treat the animals. No thanks.

This place is awesome!!! My dogs love coming here, and they are always so tired when I pick them up, which is great because a lot of the time during the work week, I do not have time to play with them. Cheaper than any other place in the PDX area as they have package deals for weeks/months. More days you buy, cheaper it is overall. Pickup/drop off process is quick and efficient. The sweet lady that works here is a hoot and always making me laugh. Thank you, Safe Journey!

I just gotta say, I absolutely love this place! The staff and environment are incredibly friendly and welcoming. my two rotties always have such a good time there. I know my boys can be difficult at times, but they are very patient with them and they always come home happy and healthy wiggle butts! <3

Been coming here for since my dog was a puppy and she loves it! When I drop her off she gets so excited and runs straight to the door to wait for Julia or Craig to come get her! We love Safe Journey and are so grateful for your services!

I have nothing negative to say about them. Only thing is that i wish they were closer to Troutdale. I absolutely love bringing my dog here. He always comes home very very tired. You can tell that the staff here is very knowledgeable about what they're doing as well. I drop him off before work or a trip and i leave with a peace of mind. i appreciate how they try to accommodate my schedule as well. I also love how they don't kennel their dogs. My dog has terrible separation anxiety and a kennel would not be a good time for him. I really appreciate this business, and the staff that can make it all happen. I will be recommending them to anyone who needs a great doggy day care.

This place holds one of the worst experiences I have ever had. This happened 1 year ago. I took my sweet old pup there for a few day care trials in anticipation of a potential 10 day stay. He seemed to liked it so I went ahead and book his long stay. Conin was at Safe Journey a total of 5 days and he died. They emailed me while I was abroad to tell me my dog had not eaten in 3 days and that he was in poor health. 3 days! I immediately had a family friend go pick him up and 24 hours later he was dead. Not only this has been dramatic and absolutely devastating, but I also had to deal with the complete and utter lack of responsibility Safe Journey decided to take regarding this after I arrived back in the US. I received long emails from them with just excuses. I strongly believed that my dog was left in isolation, not fed and not cared for at all. He was so dehydrated when my friend picked him up, that even after 24 in intensive care they could not revive him. This place is extremely dodgy, they thrive themself as specialized in "difficult dogs", and so i trusted these people with my 15 year old mutt. He was a healthy old pup, and within 5 days he became ill and died. They took no responsibility, they did not offer to reimburse me for the days he did not spend in there, there was zero care, only a bunch of excuses. The recent number of horrible review have encouraged me to speak up. At the time, I reported them to the better business bureau. I strongly encourage you to do the same if you had a poor experience there. Below is a photo of Conin on August 24th (the day I dropped him off) and the photo of him 6 days after. Bless him.

We love Safe Journey so much! Craig and the team care so much about our pup and make sure he’s having a good time- whether he feels like relaxing alone or playing with others. It’s such a life saver to have a neighborhood hang out spot we can drop in any day or time. The rates are fantastic as well. Thanks Safe Journey team!

My dogs love this place! Kennels can be anxiety inducing, especially for resuce dogs. At Safe Journey, they get to socialize freely, making it more natural for all the dogs. In addition to our dogs being happy, they have very flexible availability and fair pricing, a must for last-minute travelers like myself.

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.

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.

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.

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

When we board our dogs with Nature's Acres we can travel with peace of mind that our pups are taken care of. We have a dog that can't be in the same space with other dogs- they have special kennels that actually provide better socialization than what I can do. The staff take special care to follow prescriptions and feeding instructions. We've used both overnight boarding and daycare when we travel or night our dogs out of the house. If there is ever a problem they call to follow up. We trust them with our babies. These are truly dog people. Big thanks to the staff on behalf of Rose & Dexter

5/5 Stars! Highly recommended!! Quite the gem located in Damascus. We've been taking our lg English lab here for many years and have always had the most excellent experiences! The staff is always friendly, professional, and experienced. Very well-priced, especially for the quality of services received. They offer over night kenneling as well as day care and baths too! This time we took our shy/timid 1st time boarder, our small border collie mix for an overnight stay as well, and we weren't sure how she would do. The staff there went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and at-home. Both of our family companions enjoyed their stay there, and will definitely be returning! Thank you Natures Acres!!

I recently boarded my 2 dogs with Nature's Acres for 10 days. I was very impressed with how friendly and attentive the staff was. I was pleased with the facilities as well. I felt like my dogs were being well taken care of while we were on vacation. Thank you!

I had never used a boarding service before this. I had to, very last minute, find boarding for my young Doberman. Luckily they had a cancellation and were able to fit us in. I was extremely impressed with the facilities and the staff. The staff were all very kind and knowledgeable. They seemed to actually enjoy working there and genuinely love the dogs. The facilities were incredible!! It was a huge area completely fenced in and I loved that the dogs were all free of collars and leashes. They had a very detailed form to get to know the pup and how to handle him, it was fantastic as he has dietary restrictions. I will 100% use them again.

If you are looking for a wonderful place to take your dogs, look no further than Natures Acres. Lexa and AJ are the best hosts you can ask for. They are always friendly, helpful and kind to both you and your furry friends. They go the extra mile to make sure your dogs are happy and comfortable. Natures Acres is a highly recommended destination for any dog lover.

Our four dogs love coming here! We're pretty sure our husky-pyrenees mixes would move-in fulltime if we let them. We have a unique perspective, because Natures Acres boarded our large dogs for two consecutive months when we first relocated to PDX from NC. We visited our dogs every weekend and they always looked perfectly happy and healthy. Since then, they have kept our whole pack two more times, including for a recent two-week stint. All of the employees here are so kind and genuinely dog-lovers, which means the quality of care is top-notch. And every time we visited, we noticed there were constantly people cleaning thorough-out the facility. We felt confident leaving our pups in their care and Leela, Bo, Bandit, & Ernie are looking forward to their next visit!

Super nice and smart dog people run this place. Affordable and conscientious. Our german shepherd is good dog, but also a handful and she was loved by the staff. We did learn our dog can jump 7' fences (twice) so they moved here to a more secure kennel. Highly recommended!

Natures Acres has always been nice and very accommodating. Easy to work with and a great staff. Monty is a high energy cattle dog and they have no problems taking care of him. On our most recent stay our flight was delayed and we couldn't pick Monty up as scheduled. The staff at Natures Acres was nice enough to let us pick him up the next day, on a holiday when they were closed. Thanks for your help!

This place is great. The staff are really amazing with the dogs. Ours dogs are always happy to stay! Highly recommend for their boarding.

Terrific place to take your dog and am beyond appreciative for how the staff takes care of and interacts with our German Shepherd Oakley as he can be a little difficult. The staffs attention to detail and how well they take care of the animals and facility is top notch. Would recommend this kennel to anyone!! Thanks to all at Natures Acres as I sleep well knowing all of you are taking great care of our boy!!

My fur child is so incredibly happy the second we pull into the parking lot!!! The staff are welcoming, warm and engaging. I was just using this service as a fill in activity for travel but my little buddy can not live without the Scooby crew on a regular schedule. Can not say enough about how fabulous this has been! Great pricing and the A’ la cart services are awsome too!

Scooby shack continues to amaze me with their customer service, compassion, and hard work ethic! I always know that my sweet doggy is in the best hands when I drop her off there and better yet she always looks like she is having a blast! Thank you Scooby team for making sure my Thelma girl is always comfortable and having fun🩷 …

Nyxie loves her plays and stays at Scooby Shack. She's made some good buddies (dogs and humans!), and she "sings" all the way to the Scooby Shack once she knows we're headed that way. The staff takes such good care of our girl. When she stays there, the staff is happy to give updates and pictures. (We know Nyxie is having a ball so this is really to make her parents feel better.) Thank you Scooby Shack for taking such great care of our girl!

Extremely disappointed with this place. We used to bring our dog here exclusively for grooming and daycare but never again. We brought our dog in to get groomed after several years of grooming here and only when I went to pay was I told that the prices increased, over $100 MORE! We'd always brought our dog in the morning to play with the other dogs and then his grooming appointment would be in the afternoon. We've done this for years and not once have they charged us for day care when bringing him in the morning If we also got him groomed. It was only when I came to pick him up that they told me they increased their prices for grooming and charged me for the morning. I understand raising prices as needed but this was a very dishonest way to go about that. They should have let their customers know before they leave their dogs there that they increased their prices by so much instead of waiting until after the service is over. Not to mention the groomer did not even trim some areas we'd requested like around his booty so now I have to do it myself. We will never be coming back and will be telling our friends and family who also go there about this experience.

I'm so excited, Scooby Shack has a new groomer (Hannah), and she is fantastic. I have a Yorkshire Terrier and a Bernese Mountain Dog and I've been through more than my fair share of not so good grooming experiences. Leah really listened to me and did exactly what I asked her to. My dogs look great, and you can tell she really enjoys grooming dogs. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!

I’ve posted before and after pictures of our mini Aussiepoo. As you can see, he had a full head of cute, curly hair that the groomer at Scooby Shack has managed to shave off haphazardly twice. When we picked him up this time, we were in tears; she’d cut his whiskers off, shaved his entire body and only left his ears and tail alone. She said it was because we didn’t brush him enough, but we brushed him every day. I am so disappointed and upset by this groomer. How can you work with animals and do this to them? Do not take your dog to this woman, she clearly doesn’t care about the work she is doing or how her customers feel.

I have taken my dogs to Scooby Shack since 2011. Trulli loves going to Scooby Shack so she can play with her doggie friends and with Todd. I am very happy with the care Trulli receives and have no reservations taking her for daycare and boarding Trulli at Scooby Shack.

Very impressed with this daycare and boarding facility . Very clean and communication is topnotch. They Have staff with the pups at all times -24 hrs. Experienced staff watching and they understand animal behavior. As I’m Watching pups come and go-The pups are so happy waggin their tails , hopping on their feet -such a sight to see. That tells me they had a good time. What great way to socialize a pup in a pack environment. 🤩 They even have a cat condo. Super Clean and have wall climbing area for them. I got to see a cat scratching on a post didn’t even seem scared. Relaxed and strutting his stuff across the room. 🤩

Our dog loves Scooby Shack. He is excited when we take him here, and when he comes home, it is obvious he has played all day long and enjoyed his day. Staff are super friendly and nice.

My dog loves Scooby Shack. His enthusiasm to rush through the doors and get inside is sometimes overwhelming! It's easy to see why. The staff is friendly and reliable. Everyone has a great attitude and welcoming smile. I totally trust them to provide a safe and secure place where my dog can run around with his pals. I never have to worry when he is there. We both love Scooby Shack!!

We go to LexiDog for Krissy. She is the best groomer and cares so much for our dogs. We have 2 Bernese mountain dogs and a leonberger and they always come out floofy and happy.

Krissy does a fabulous job grooming Wonton and Porter. She cuts their ears to the leather so they don't get wet from the water bowl, and they always smell great! So handsome!

My dog loves coming for daycare and we love the daily report card. Grooming services are reasonably priced and earns our pup lots of compliments at the park.

I have been taking my dog to Lexidog for eight years and highly recommend them. I use daycare, grooming and boarding and have never had anything but good experiences during all this time. My dog loves it there. The attendants and groomers are so loving and skillful in working with the dogs. Your dog will have to pass an assessment to assure compatibility with the current canines. I’m retired now and don’t really need to take Elsa in very often but do anyway several times weekly, because the exercise and socialization are so good for her.

Super friendly staff and they always have availability when I need last minute grooming

Misty is AMAZING! My daughter has a Pomeranian who has anxiety attacks around people he doesn't know well. She's been able to cut right on through his little walls. :) Thank you for being Amazing, Misty :) By the way - Chaz died a couple months ago. We are still sad about it but he's in a better place and Misty made him feel better toward the end of life and we appreciate her.

LexiDog in Lake Oswego is one of the best doggie daycare, boarding, and grooming facilities we have ever taken our chocolate lab too. When we first moved to the Portland area we needed to find a regular place for daycare, grooming and boarding for our pup. LexiDog has been amazing, caring, and accommodating to our pup every time. All of their staff are truly amazing and love all the dogs.

They took 3 hours to groom our dog and when we came back we saw the daycare guy on video making rounds spraying dogs in the face. The front desk said the spraying was to get the dogs to stop barking but his presence seemed to be causing barking. Everything I know about face spraying is it is cruel. I wouldn’t trust them with my dog again.

This is such an awesome place to take your dogs to! I love the staff and I feel comfortable leaving my puppy there for training/play time. Amanda is a great trainer and I can tell that she really cares about the dogs there. I don’t know everyone else’s name, but the rest of staff is friendly and super knowledgeable! Calcifer LOVES being there and looks forward to his Monday visits.

Cute place that's super clean, an amazing little store full of dog related products! Super friendly groomers and what a great job! Fun in the doggy daycare includes both an exciting play side and a calm side for older or smaller more cuddly dogs ❤

They took care of my baby girl Noodle for two separate stays and I will always consider them in the future. They give you updates and photos of your baby while you’re away. So attentive and fun for my cats. Only complaint was it was hard to find at first.

In terms of cat boarding - Pounce is the wholly grail. Windy and staff are pros and absolutely LOVE cats! I felt very comfortable and over-joyed to see my boy playing with other cats while I was away. We certainly both had a great vacation. 100% would recommend to others.

I adopted a very shy, scared adult kitty, Cady, in March who had been in and out of a shelter and foster care for over a year. She spent the first three months with me under the bed. I travel quite a bit and had taken my previous cat to Pounce for four years so was familiar with their loving care. After a couple of stays at Pounce Cady started to spend more of her time out from under the bed at home coming to me for pets but never purring or getting on my lap. I brought Cady home three days ago after her stay at Pounce and she now lays on my lap purring her little heart out. I don’t believe she would have blossomed so quickly (seven months) if it weren’t for all the love she got from Windy, Lexie, and Jaiden at Pounce. They are the best!

Highly recommend this place!!! I was out of town for almost two weeks, and I was extremely hesitant to board my cat, because he is a pandemic pet who has had basically no socialization and never been away from us for any significant amount of time. After some research, I chose Pounce and Play to board my cat and it went great!! This is truly a business by and for cat lovers. 🐈‍⬛ Windy was very understanding of my anxieties about leaving my cat and did a great job of explaining how cats are introduced to the communal space to ensure their safety and comfort. They gave me daily updates (with photos!) about how he was doing and what kind of attention he was getting from the staff. Windy has a strong risk management mentality, so even if your cat is super shy, they'll be comfortable and safe. Pick up and drop off was smooth, booking was well done...just every step of the way was great. You really can't go wrong with these folks.

They loved on my Tex for 12 whole days. This is the best place for keeping kitties happy while their hoomans have to be away. He was a happy boy.

I love this place. I boarded my cat here for over a week while I was on vacation. They sent multiple updates (with pictures - one is attached) which gave me peace of mind. When I picked her up it was clear how much attention they paid to her - she was so fluffy from multiple brushings! Windy was very communicative throughout the booking process as well. She was great to work with! I will definitely bring my girl here next time I’m away.

I love the service at Pounce and Play. Last time I was late to drop off and they stayed late to take in my kitty. I am so grateful to have this cat hotel in town, where my Siamese can make friends, play all day, and have his own cabana at night. They always send update photos to make me smile while I’m away. They take such good care of the cats and establish relationships with each pet. Would highly recommend them— Dio loves to go!

My cat Ringo stayed here for couple days. They took excellent care of him. Sent daily updates with pictures. good Place and we will come again. Highly recommended

I have 2 cats who regularly board here. The staff are so nice and really care for my boys. I always feel very comfortable leaving them here, sometimes for a few days and sometimes for a week+. It seems like my cats have fun too! One of my cats is super friendly, and the other is a bit “less outgoing” to put it nicely, but the staff work with him and he seems to be relaxed and enjoying himself soon enough. So thankful for Pounce Play and Stay!!!

I was in a little bit of a safety emergency and wanted to make sure my cat Venus, would be cared for in my absence. I called and they were able to get Venus in same day (she was updated on all her shots/vaccines) and when they asked when I could pick her up, I told them it was a little bit in the air because of circumstances at home and they were so incredibly understanding and flexible and kind. In general I was a mess emotionally and missed my cat so much and they texted me EVERYDAY with updates of my cat and pictures and it put me at so much ease. I am so grateful to you guys for showing not just my animal kindness but to me as well. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You’ll see us again, and this time not in such a dire situation. 😊

Hot Diggity Dog has been an invaluable resource for our family. I always know our senior boys are in good hands for their walks with this company. We appreciate that the walkers connect after each walk, and I love that we get to see photos of our boys out and about in the neighborhood! Our regular walkers are incredible, and genuinely care about the well being of our pets.

Hot Diggity Portland serves Cats too! I owned a pet sitting service myself for 17 years, so I know what to look for in a great pet sitting service. It's very important to hire a real business (with a license, workers comp, bonding & insurance), credentialed (affiliated professionally), organized (sophisticated scheduling/billing), with plenty of backup (enough staff to truly have someone available is something happens to your assigned sitter). Never hire a friend or a sitter who works alone. Anyway, my two sweet kittens needed service while I went to visit my grandson. I prefer twice per day visits, am and pm. Hot Diggity was there as promised, sent sweet messages and photos, and clearly did what they were prepared to do. And, despite having most of their marketing materials focused on dogs, they have Sitters who love cats as well. Thanks Hot Diggity! My kitties think you're the best!

We've used Hot Diggity a few times this year for weekend/overnight petsitting for our senior pup after being referred by a friend, and it's been a mixed bag, unfortunately. The sitters were friendly, but details have been missed. I was surprised by some of the extra charges (ie, charged per sitter to meet sitters). Since invoices are processed through the app, there's zero follow-up from management. Our diabetic pup experienced low blood sugar seizures during our last overnight and had to be taken to the ER. Our sitter was wonderful, but mgmt reached out only once to let us know they had added additional charges for the emergency visit - not one question about the dog or incident. Terrible.

Owner is a crook. Employees make 1/4 of what they charge for services when they are the ones caring for your pet. They do not pay their employees for overnight stays, period. This company relies on kind and naive animal lovers who accept the lack of pay without question. Go to a private contractor or any other company with integrity.

The Hot Diggity team has been cat sitting for us for probably 6 to 8 weeks a year for the last 3 years and we are always extremely happy with the service. The daily photos give us peace of mind when we are away. The team has also gone above and beyond to help us out either with last minute trips that popped up or taking care of a specific issue at our home while we are already away. We trust them and are so glad that we found them!! The process is also really easy for repeat bookings once the key drop etc is taken care of. Highly recommend!!

Hot Diggity Dog is an incredibly pet sitting service. I work in the pet industry & their attention to detail & care is unparalleled. The online service & consistent communication is wonderful. We have 8 pets in total in our family & often are fostering pets. Hot Diggity always handles this with ease & puts our anxiety to rest when they watch our pets. They are obviously avid animal lovers & their team is always amazing. I can tell by the way my pets react to all of them that they are excellent people who know what they are doing when it comes to pet care. Their prices are INCREDIBLY affordable considering how wonderful their service is & it is absolutely amazing that they do not charge per pet. It feels wonderful to be able to leave for holidays, trips & vacations knowing that Hot Diggity has our back. It's also so nice we have trustworthy people staying in our home while we are away, as that can be a bit of a leap of faith at first! We are very over-protective of our pets & completely trust Hot Diggity Dog! You should too.

This crew is awesome. We have had nothing but positive experiences with them and thoroughly enjoy our updates in the app when they visit our dogs. They've built trust with our nervous dog and she adjusts quickly to trusting when they show up. Their pricing is open and fair without any hidden expenses. Thanks for taking such good care of our dogs when we're gone.

Professional and reliable! I had to leave my 2 dogs home for several days and they were well taken care of. Each sitter showed up on time and took great care in walking and feeding them. Even my dog who doesn't like strangers became comfortable with them. I would definitely use their services again and highly recommend.

This team gave us so much peace of mind while we were on vacation for a few days. They reliably provided us with pics and updates at each visit, and were always responsive to us! We will be glad to call on them again the next time we go out of town. Go with Hot Diggity and you will never have to worry about your pets!

Amazing service!! Tailored to meet my needs. They go above and beyond what I could ever hope for at a reasonable price!! You can get pictures and updates daily by using their easy to navigate portal. Great piece of mind while I was away. My two cats love them!!
