Pet boarding/training near Clackamas

“I can’t say enough good things. If I ask Penny if she wants to go play with friends she starts jumping and doing zoomies. All the staff are wonderful and kind. They always send me cute pics from the play yard. Tammy, the owner, is Penny’s favorite person there, and Penny gets sooooo excited to see her. Penny has also boarded here and the staff is so careful to only give Penny the special food I bring because of her IBS. I’ve even met and made plans with other dog parents so Penny and their dog are sure to play on the same day.“

“My cat Audrey stayed at Meowhaus 1 for about 4 days and had a good time. It has plenty of space and rooms for each cat. The workers are able to handle the cats quite well and attend to their every need big or small. I would recommend this as a safe and good place to board your cat.“

“Our young dog loves it here. He is always worn out when he comes home and seems to enjoy all the activities and other dogs. As pet parents, we love to see updates on instagram, as well as all the add ons they offer. We have used them for daycare and boarding and appreciate the attention to detail they provide while boarding. They texted us a picture of our dog while boarding that his muzzle was a little pinker then normal, not a big deal at all and I appreciated their communication. We also love that someone spends the night with them. It’s well priced, it can be hard to get a same day reservation because of its popularity, so plan to book at least a day in advance. Thanks for taking care of Huckleberry!“

“They’re so good with my anxious dog! I always feel very secure and the knowledge that the veterinarians here have my pet’s best interest at heart. I moved across town and still go here because of how much I like the staff“

“Charlie's favorite place to stay! The staff is loving, kind, and professional. They communicated great and kept us aware of everything during her stay.“

“Words cannot capture the power and value of working with Kindred Dog PDX. The 5 private lesson package has been transformative for me not just as a dog owner but as a parent, partner, and person. What may have seemed like a big expenditure at one time now feels like the most ridiculous bargain. It's kind of like therapy for you and your dog. If you are putting in effort, working with them will help you actually make progress. I wish someone had told me to see Ruben earlier, so here I am doing that for you. If you are struggling with your dog, for the love of god, your dog, yourself, the country...CONTACT KINDRED DOG PDX. Seriously. Right. Now!“

“We took a recall class here over a year ago with our very excitable dog and have been intermittently practicing what we learned since. We finally worked up to 1000 acres today (huge off leash dog oriented nature area with lots of dogs) and our dog’s recall was impeccable!! We were honestly kind of shocked! He’s always been so excited by other dogs, he even had to be behind a visual barrier during class so he could try to focus because seeing other dogs was too distracting. I didn’t fully expect him to be able to recall in an environment like this, but he did! We learned a lot of great foundations at UP and today proved to me that he’s really getting it. If you think your dog can’t ever be trusted off leash, I definitely recommend the trainers here.“

“I was so happy to find reliable boarding in a friendly home setting for my dog. From the start, Holly was easy to reach and responsive. I felt confident and assured that my pup was safe and cared for. Holly was very flexible and accommodating when I unexpectedly had to extend my trip. I heartily recommend her.“

“When we got our new puppy we knew we wanted to get a good foundation with socializing her and take a group puppy training class. We started with Puppy Socials and then took Puppy 101 which was a 7 week class. The trainers at Noble Woof are very good. They use positive reinforcement. Class sizes are small. They are knowledgeable, professional, lots of personal attention and our dog has responded very well. She is more confident, eager to learn and has a bunch of new skills we are continuing to work on. In addition to the in-class work, there are videos and emails each week to enhance the learning process. We are very happy we took her to Noble Woof. The impacts of this training will stick with her her whole life.“

“My 6-yr-old Great Pyrenees got her first grooming ever and she came out looking and smelling fabulous. They were sensitive to her nervousness and were able to groom her without needing to resort to a muzzle. She's much more comfortable without all the extra floof (IYKYK). Beats trying to bathe her myself in my claw foot bathtub! Highly recommend.“

“We boarded our mini Golden Doodle for 3 nights and just picked her up. She is happy and content. What a wonderful feeling to be able to go out of town and not be stressed about the care your dog is receiving. The staff is friendly and Quimby loves them. My daughter took her for a walk when we were gone and said Quimby lead her right back to Sniff and happily went off with an employee. We did take her to their daycare to play for several weeks before we did the boarding. She got to know the staff and felt comfortable there and I believe that helped. We have had nothing but positive experiences here and I highly recommend them. Thank you to the staff at Sniff for taking good care of our fur baby.“

“I have been taking in stray cats since 2022, and have brought them all to halsey east. Dr Vockert and Dr Vidos are great. Very affordable for veterinary care, whether it's surgery, prescription, or just checkups. I have actually found that getting prescriptions here is cheaper than online, which is very convenient. They have a great team that is clearly very passionate about their work. I would not go to any other clinic.“

“Myra is fantastic. We used to take our dog Dexter there RIP. There is simply no better groomer in Portland or beyond.“

“Dr. Nomi and the entire staff are amazing, Kind, gentle and thorough. Our Molly is a bit of a diva and they are always so patient with her. I never feel pressured into treatments which I appreciate greatly. I highly recommend Oswego Vet!“

“The trainers (Susan and Marissa) at Happy-Go-Lucky are incredible. We have a very reactive 7month old border collie that has seen massive improvements in his confidence via attending their classes. Thank you so much!“

“I have nothing but good things to say about Pounce Play and Stay. The staff have been very kind to both me and my kitty. My cat has been to them three times this year and they always give me daily photo updates to show that she's happy and having fun. Thank you, Pounce Play and Stay!“

“Wendy is a gem! I trust her with my heeler who is quite a handful. She is flexible and responsive and my pup has a great time with her.“

“Dogs Dig It is basically my dog’s version of Disneyland. ? He doesn’t go to daycare super often, but the second we pull up, he acts like he’s late for the best party of his life. He can hardly get inside fast enough to greet all of his dog friends and start playing.

The staff is wonderful, and it’s so clear the dogs are having an absolute blast there. Honestly, I wish there was a human viewing section because I would totally stay and watch the happiness unfold all day.“

“Both my cats receive excellent care while staying at Arnold Creek. They are great with my senior cat who has health problems and always update you on how the stay went at pickup. The location is calm and peaceful and my cats come home in good spirits and health.“

“We leave our child's doggo there when we aren't able to watch him due to schedules and they are kind, wonderful people and he always comes away happy.“

“Wag Along is an incredible haven for dogs and Mary Ellen is wonderful! Our dog wasn't actually a good fit here, she's a bit too rowdy, but Mary Ellen was extremely kind about it and even took the time to reach out to other places to find us another option with someone she trusts.

Communication with Mary Ellen was fast and easy and her space is fantastic. She clearly puts a lot of effort and intention into making the dogs in her care feel safe and happy. If you have a mellow dog who interacts gently with others, I very highly recommend Wag Along!“

“I’ve been bringing my husky to Safe and Hound for two years now, and their grooming team always does a fantastic job!

The staff is incredibly caring, attentive, and thorough and their prices are very affordable.

His groom is always perfect—his undercoat is completely blown out, and he comes home so soft and fluffy every single time.

He’s 13 and struggles with arthritis, so I was worried grooming would be tough. They completely put my mind at ease by using a raising and lowering tub to support him and going entirely at his pace.

I’m so glad I can rely on the Safe and Hound team to keep my boy looking his best 💙“

“My pup is my world, and one of my biggest worries when we moved was finding our a new dogsitter. Luckily, we found Betsy and Amelia. Our dog ADORES them, and routinely goes to their home for doggy daycare and stays with them when we travel. He's always showered with love and attention there (they even got him a Christmas present when they were watching him over the holidays!), all the dogs at daycare are awesome, and we get great updates, videos, and pictures throughout daycare or when he stays with them. I can't recommend them enough, best dog sitters we've ever had!“

“We’re so glad we found Michelle. We love our parrot, and it brings us real peace of mind knowing she’s well cared for whenever we’re out of town. She always comes home happy, and it’s clear she’s been well-loved and happy while she’s there :)“

“As a new dog parents, we were so anxious about boarding our new puppy, Buddy, while we went to Disneyland for 5 nights- especially since he has not socialized with other dogs yet. The staff completely eased our worries!
They tailored his stay by giving him extra one-on-one attention and gently introducing him to smaller playgroups rather than overwhelming him with full daycare. Buddy loved it so much he didn't even want to leave when we picked him up! The staff were so friendly. All the dogs that were being dropped off, their owners couldn’t contain them, they were so excited for daycare! Paws play and stay was Buddy’s version of Disneyland, definitely be back!“

“Paul is an awesome trainer and instructor. I brought my American pitbull to him so he could give us the tools we need to turn Tank from a terror to a terrier. His prices are very fair and less expensive than other places I've looked at. We've only just started our lessons and have already gained some of the tools i need to get Tank on the path to being an obedient dog. I highly recommend him if you need help in training your dog. If you are already considering calling him, stop considering and just do it. 😁“
