She literally is the BEST Cat sitter in Portland. OK, in the interest of total honesty, no I have not tried every sitter in the PDX area so I can't compare, but all I can say is, if there is a better sitter available then you had better hire that person immediately! I have never seen a work ethic like hers in my life, and I am from the East Coast. She is efficient, responsible, trust worthy and truly cares about animals. There's no faking it here people, she honestly loves cats! (In fact, my cats like her more than me!) I have used her services several times and always been beyond pleased. It really takes a weight off your shoulders to know you hired such a responsible person you can count on. She has above average communication skills providing detailed emails daily (along with photos) to read while away. Also operates a very well run business model. Having a professional web interface to coordinate and schedule visits makes things so much easier and adds to the top notch communication. In closing, you can't go wrong hiring her. She is the best!

We arrived back from vacation to find our sometimes temperamental girl purring, clean, healthy, and at ease. Bella took her medication every day for Chelsea which typically never happens while we are away. She clearly provides exceptional care to kitties and goes out of her way to accommodate any special needs or requests. What a wonderful find!

Highly recommend for any length of stay, any specialized need or temperament cat! Exceptionally clean, owner Shannon is extraordinarily attuned to your specific kitties' needs, highly communicative while your KItty is boarding, put me completely at ease while away, and I was extremely impressed that Shannon had the wisdom to identify a need and make a change to improve my two ragdolls' experience while boarding with her, that made all the difference and put both cats at ease-such that I returned to find two happy, well adjusted, and content KItty cats to greet me after my trip out of town. Great value for the extraordinary attention, love , cleanliness, and service/good judgment about care given to your kitty baby-of all ages and needs. We were visiting PDX from out of town, invited to take a weeklong trip outside Portland with friends, but could not bring our two cats. Shannon came to the rescue and beyond. I noticed she intuitively understood each KItty that was boarding there, she's like a kitty whisperer! Every member of her staff has the same level of commitment and competence. So impressed with Shannon's Meowhaus, even though I'm newly permanently located elsewhere on the West Coast- while needing to board my cats with confidence over a recent holiday, I even briefly considered flying the kitties up to Portland and letting Shannon and her staff give my kitties the same love she gave them this past August. Meowhaus is run with a real love and care for the animals entrusted to them. NO BETTER PLACE TO BOARD YOUR CAT!

Kitty Cat Condos is the five star hotel all the cool cats want to stay at!…read more (If you're like me, you're pouring through reviews because as any cat parent knows, getting away is bittersweet, because it means being away from your furry friend.) the thought of boarding is always nerve wracking, but honestly, what a wonderful place: it was our first time considering boarding in the metro area, but from the beginning the team here reassured us that we can bring our cat's favorite toys, blankets, bowls, even litter if they're a little picky to make their stay a bit comfortable. we also brought some favorite treats! there are a variety of boarding options here at various price points. we left a little note with care instructions. a few days later, we head straight from the tarmac to KCC, anxious to see our furry friend. we were beyond relieved! our cat looked his usual happy self, and Tiana was playing with him. it's clear that Tiana and Dave genuinely care about cats and want to make sure our furry loved ones are taken care of while we're away. the thought of being away from your furry friend is never fun, but whether you find yourself traveling or need to be away, i highly recommend this family business. thank you for all you do!

I really liked Tiny's until something went wrong. We have four cats who have stayed at Tiny's…read moreprobably four times. We had a vacation planned for this week over new years, but had to cancel last minute. We had no warning, and my wife asked me to call Tiny's since she couldn't stop crying. I called Tiny's within 20 minutes of us finding out. I was apologetic. My voice was shaking because I was pretty disappointed too. I explained the situation and said that I was very sorry, I understood we wouldn't get our $150 deposit back and again, I'm very sorry. Denise at Tiny's was very quiet through the whole interaction, at the end all she said was "I'm sorry to hear about your trip" Two minutes later I hear my wife burst out sobbing again. They sent her a text message letting us know that they no longer wanted us as clients. If I had known, or Denise given any indication on the phone I would have tried to make it right. I probably would have paid the whole amount because Tiny's is convenient and we've enjoyed patronizing their business. There was no warning, Denise decided to punch my wife in the stomach over a lost $450 after keeping our deposit, while we were in the middle of cancelling 12k worth of reservations. I would have been totally fine with paying ahead of time, we've spent a lot of money there, but instead of discussing financial impact, expressing any displeasure whatsoever, or giving us a chance to repair the relationship, Denise retaliated viciously. She had the opportunity to discuss any concerns with me on the phone, but decided instead to text my crying wife. I have advocated for this business, I have suggested it to friends. I regret that, because they clearly have zero respect for their customers. Denise made a terrible day worse with zero thought for her customers. Denise told us to get lost during our worst day in recent memory with no remorse. I will not be patronizing this business further, and I hope anyone reading this takes their behavior into consideration before doing business with Denise. She may care about cats, but clearly doesn't care about customers.

However, the employees had exactly the right vibe for her because she went to them immediately and don't look back. The facility is clean and she was obviously well cared for. They didn't even think it strange when we packed a chewed slipper for a favorite toy- they knew what to expect from this precocious breed. We won't hesitate to bring her back when we go on another trip. A+++

In the beginning we had to have her leashed in the house at all times and after some work she now annoys him off leash without much worry that we will be down to just a dog in the house. Daycare has also been great on the days we both work/or just want a little less responsibility. She gets wore out at daycare so you only pay for a day but pretty much get 2 days because she just sleeps the next day. They are also a very honest stand up business so you feel comfortable leaving your family with them.

All I can say is Debbie didn't think for a moment about drugging my dog while I waited outside for her to come to the door. She overdosed my dog to the point of kidney problems. Debbie is fortunate the statue of limitation is past or she would be dealing with me in court. That dog was my best friend to me and my children.
