Dog Boarding in The Dalles

“My dog is fear aggressive to strangers but immediately accepted Molly. Absolutely unbelievable! We’ve never had a meeting go so well. Molly has very kind calm energy and provides lots pf positive interaction. We received videos and pictures throughout the dog’s stay so we know our dog is doing well. Molly is a gem and we will hire her next time. ♥️”

“Wow. Mackenzie saved us last minute when plans for our Meeko feel through. We were driving from Portland to Hood River area for a wedding and had nowhere to take him. She offered her services right away and was the absolute best person to leave him with for the weekend. She made us feel so comfortable from the moment we met, and sent updates and pictures all weekend. HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend!!! Thank you again, Mackenzie for being absolutely amazing!!”

About: I've always had a dog or 2 throughout my adult lire. My last dogs were 2 labraodor mixed dogs from the local shelter that I enjoyed walking twice a day everyday of their lives. I also enjoyed taking them to go on hikes in New Mexico and Texas. I also enjoy cats but I am most comfortable with dogs. Currently I am working part-time 3 days a week - I have Wednesdays through Saturdays off so those are the days I'd prefer to schedule but could also schedule Sundays through Tuesdays if your pet can be left in a crate at my house for boarding. I very much enjoy walking dogs. I would try and see what makes your pet comfortable - if they seem like they need attention I enjoy making you pet feel comfortable.

“Skye-Ann gave us a ton of pictures when our dogs were with her. They always had big smiles and looked very comfortable. I will absolutely be using her again in the future.”

“Laura took such great care of Stella! She took her on a hike and several trips down to the river to run around. Stella came home nice and tired after her adventurous stay. Will definitely book again.”

About: As a pet owner, I understand that having someone else watch your loved ones can be a bit scary. I’m here to assure you, that while in my care, your besties will be cared for as if they were my own. (Spoiled with love, well-feed, and tired from fun activities). To help put your mind at ease I take TONS of pictures and include small descriptive summaries on what your pup (or kitty) and I did while in my care (I feel this is what most of my clients love about me and my services). I have trained dogs from young puppies to lazy seniors. With that said, I don't mind cleaning up puppy messes or giving medication to senior pups. I also have had the privilege to take care of many nontraditional pets including guinea pigs, ferrets, and bunny rabbits. I provide these services mostly for fun, to stay busy, and to help pay my student loans. I really enjoy being an outlet for others who travel, just need a drop by visit, or help their pup get exercise/playful play dates. I am here for you and your pets in anyway needed, and will always treat your things and pets with the upmost respect (as it should be).

“Aya was amazing! This was my first time leaving Olive with anyone and we did it for over two weeks. I was really stressed but Olive loved Aya and got so much love, attention, and walks. I will definitely call Aya first when I need a sitter.”

“We felt very comfortable with our dog Ollie staying with Marissa. She is incredibly attentive, and her dogs were wonderful to welcome all in. We will definitely continue to have Alie boarded there!”

“Cody loves dogs, and cats, for that matter. He has always had a heart to care for them as if they are his own children. He seems to 'talk' a different language with them and takes all the time needed to make them feel special. He pays attention to what they need and how they are feeling. Cody is super responsible and always sets alarms to make sure he doesn't miss out on scheduled walks/feeds. You will be happy you called him.”

“My two pups had more fun while I was gone than I did. Brandon and Emily's home was a winter wonderland, with acres of room for the dogs to run and play safely. Their dog June was a gem; playful and happy and super friendly. Brandon was a great communicator, super conscientious, and a confident dog handler. Both Brandon and Emily actively engaged with my dogs the entire stay, and so many cuddles! Honestly, it was the first time my dogs didn't show any signs of missing me, and they were in no hurry to leave this special place and these kind people. Excellent all around.”

“Our dogs had a great stay with Amy and her daughters. They were very prompt with communication and great with updates. It was great for our dogs to also socialize with Amy’s pets. Would recommend.”

“Roseann was wonderful! We were so comfortable leaving our babies in her care and we could tell when we got home that had a great time! We will definitely be using her again!!”

“This was our pups first overnight away from his family. Katlyn was a great caregiver to our Ember and even sent us some pictures while we were away. It was also an added bonus that she had a playmate there which was Katlyns dog Luca. I think that helped her feel more at ease and comfortable. A great place to have our dog and will absolutely have her stay there again.”

“Samantha was excellent with Otto and he loved hanging out at their property. Samantha's dog Blue is a very sweet dog and loved following Otto around. If I was back in the Hood River area and needed a sitter, I would use Samantha again!”

“Morgan and Dalton were great! They sent regular updates with photos and were very flexible when my schedule changed last minute. My dog Frida seemed very happy and cozy at their place; she was well taken care of. I will definitely be reaching out to them for any future dog sitting needs.”

“Charlie was honestly amazing with my shy, fearful, dog reactive Shepard mix. Leo is not one to warm up to other dogs or people and wow did Charlie work wonders with him!! I’ll be back any time I need dog sitting in the area! Great communication, kind human and so wonderful with Leo. Thanks Charlie!!”

“Lady had such a fun time staying with Maggie, playing with her dogs out in the yard! I think she enjoyed being there more than being at home with me. Maggie sent regular updates and took care of Lady as if she were one of her own dogs. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a sitter in Hood River.”

“Megan and Kyle took very good care of Walter. Gave him lots of exercise (which he needs) and were very patient and attentive with some of his nervous ticks he developed while we were away. It is very obvious that Megan knows dog behavior well and has a lot of experience which I love. They were very easy to communicate with and sent nice updates throughout our trip. Would definitely recommend and use them again.”

About: Growing up as a veterinarian's son, I cared for many animals with special needs, gaining a deep sense of compassion and responsibility. I administered medication, prepared special meals, and provided emotional support, many times witnessing their transformation from abandoned creatures to contented pets. My upbringing instilled a passion for animal welfare, emphasizing that every animal deserves dignity and happiness, regardless of age or health. With my flexible remote job, I can adjust my schedule to cater to your pets' needs. I'm available to feed, walk, and provide companionship to your pets throughout the day, ensuring their well-being without strict time limitations. I provide the affection care for your pets that you cannot while you are away. I honor your guidelines in your residence, treating it with the utmost respect. I'm happy to give updates about your pets and/or home via text, calls, or video chats as frequently as you desire. Your peace of mind is my priority while you're away
