Pet boarding/training in Portland

“Love, love, love RCV they have been our dogs primary care team since 2019 and we can't imagine going anywhere else. They always make my vet scared dog feel as comfortable as possible for his appointments and my other pup just loves them so much. Can not recommend them enough. The entire staff is wonderful. Thank you for all you do Rose City Vet.“

“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!“

“What an amazing place to board your cat(s)! Great private suite but also they had the opportunity to walk around freely outside of the suite also. Lots of petting and attention. 5-Star, A+ experience with completely reasonable rates. 100% recommend!“

“Ruben taught us the importance of creating boundaries in equal parts to the love that we give our Pup! Under his guidance we became better parents and in turn Disco is becoming a more zen puppy. Highly recommend working with Kindred Dog PDX.“

“My Belgian Malinois—German Shepherd dog and I worked with Poppy for about 6 months. I cannot recommend Poppy and Instinct enough!

My pup has been dealing with reactivity towards strangers and dogs since I rescued her. Since our time spent with Poppy, I have had family and friends tell me she is a completely different dog.

Poppy was incredibly patient with us and very attentive (plus my pup absolutely loved her). She aimed to understand our goals, ensured they were realistic for us and and helped us make great strides towards them.

I also very much appreciated how empathetic and kind Poppy was when offering feedback. I learned a lot of effective strategies and tactics to help redirect my dog and give her alternative behaviors to choose. Poppy was right there with us celebrating every little milestone along the way. :)

We are both now significantly more relaxed when we go out into the world. Poppy truly had an impact on our day-to-day life.“

“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.“

“One of the best doggy daycare places in the Portland area. Virgil and his wife, Martha take such great care of the dogs. They clearly know what they are doing! They have been so accommodating and given such great advice based on what they see. She would always be so happy when we pulled into the parking lot and saw them come and greet her! I will truly miss sending my puppy here!“

“Kayla was AMAZING!!!! She did an EXCEPTIONAL job grooming Onyx!! We will be booking with her again! I'm so happy I found you guys!!!“

“Yes, I took Pypper to the Canine Classroom. He was being aggressive towards other dogs. He wasn’t behaving walks were where he was pulling me and tagging me and he was aggressive because he’d been attacked by two other pities and therefore I hired Steve at the Canine Classroom and it’s been a couple months wonderful wonderful experience. I’ve done everything he said to do my dog is hardly ever reactive. We’re enjoying our walks again and he’s doing great. I highly recommend him in his Canine Classroom. If you’re having any problems with your dog, it’s been a couple months and it’s great.“

“The only place we’ll board our dog. Love that there’s someone there 24/7 and they’re always so patient and kind about any weird dog parent anxieties. Also amazing grooming services and the little shopping area always has such good toys and treats.“

“A real special place where every employee truly cares. Thank you so much for what you do and the true empathy you showed me and Clyde earlier this week.“

“Doug was recommended to me by a trainer I have been using for twenty plus years. My service dog was missing his siblings after their death and had become dog reactive. Doug walked with me to observe what was going on in my neighborhood. He gave me a procedure to follow and in no time my goldendoodle was ignoring other dogs. Once that was perfected around our complex we went to a nearby park and he walked with me to practice on unruly dogs. Gibbs was taking their ill behavior as an opportunity to play. I am in a wheelchair and he adjusted for my disability. He is a very pleasant person to learn from and we both enjoyed our training sessions. My service dog is an important part of my independence and Dougs' extensive knowledge of dog behavior gave us a tune up on how to handle this one issue as well as general helpful hints on everyday life with a 90lb dog.“

“Meredith came to our house to help us with our little pup with big emotions. Ivy loved seeing Meredith, and Meredith helped us make a lot of progress with our dog. Highly recommend her.“

“Always have a happy and tired pup when ours comes home after being at Reynolds. Such a fantastic team and welcoming experience each time we visit. This is a great way for our puppo to get out some energy and socialize with other dogs. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“The trainer here Mark is absolutely the best solution for dog training. We tried a couple other dog trainers before him that just didn’t seem like the fit for us but as soon as we took our French Bulldog to Leader of the Pack it was a game changer. Mark listened very closely to all of our concerns during the first session and got to work right away, after the first week of consistency we were seeing results that we couldn’t even believe. He understands dogs like no other and is by far the only trainer we would recommend to anyone we know!“

“They did an amazing job training my husky, Max — and anyone who’s had a husky knows how stubborn they can be. I’ve seen such a big improvement in his behavior and focus. A huge thank you to Brooklyn for the incredible work she did with him! She was patient, professional, and truly cared about Max’s progress. Highly recommend this place!“

“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!“

“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!“

“In anticipation of surgery, I contacted Petlandia Pet Care for morning walks. I have a Great Pyrenees and a poorly behaved large hound mix, not an easy walk. I met with Wendy and Jesy and arranged a schedule. The dogs were excited when they came for walks! I was extremely happy with Petlandia's care and flexibility. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!“

“Charlton kennels was recommended to us by a family member. We boarded our dog here for 10 days without issue. The staff is friendly and the rates are fair. When we go on vacation again we plan on using them again. Years later, still using them without issue“

“my baby always comes home extra tired. always accommodating last minute. sometimes a little hard to get in communication with them via phone is there’s something that needs to be addressed quickly but they’re email response game is always great. love all the activities and enrichment they provide. they always remember my dog even though she doesn’t go there often as we moved further away but any time i need boarding they are they place to go.“

“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.“

“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.“
