We recently brought our 8-month-old pup to the adolescent social sessions here and went in really…read morehopeful that it would be a fun, positive experience for him. On the positive side, the staff were consistently friendly, kind, and clearly care about the dogs. They created a welcoming environment, and we appreciated their kindness. Unfortunately, the experience itself didn't quite work out for us. Our dog is an intact male, and he ended up in a group with all females, one of whom had recently gone through a heat cycle. The facility allows females who have recently been in heat, but unfortunately their scent just isn't conducive to a group social setting like this, especially for young intact males. The first week this happened we assumed it was just a temporary challenge and gave it the benefit of the doubt, but the issue continued during our next session. The scent was simply too distracting for him- and even other females were distracted by the scent. Our dog who normally socializes well in other group settings, became too fixated and overstimulated for any type of learning or appropriate social interaction. We really tried to give this facility a fair shot and came back again hoping for a better experience, but ultimately our dog had to remain leashed the entire session time, which completely defeats the purpose of a social/play session. We have now found a facility with stricter guidelines around females in heat.

My baby means the world to me and I would seriously die if anything happens to him.

Jamie took such a good care of him and she sent me updates daily which was why I never worried. Im so happy we found out about Sit Stay Fit because i don't have to worry about where to board him when I travel and I know he'll be in good hands.

They share lots of pictures and updates which, for a worrier like myself, is the difference between stressing while I'm away and actually enjoying a trip. Everyone at EC Petcare that has stayed with our dogs and cat has been great - Ellaree, the business owner, clearly has a high bar for who she hires and a knack for finding thoughtful and reliable dog walkers and sitters.

In January 2024, we were stuck in an airport because of the ice storm and our sitter braved the icy roads to come feed our kitties and make sure our pipes weren't freezing. You best believe we tipped her 100% on that visit! Part of their service includes photos or videos from every visit and they verify that all items on their checklist are completed. They are easy to communicate with via the EC Petcare portal, where it is also easy to make payments and tip on services. I haven't used other petsitter companies but I feel like their prices are really fair. Thank you, Ellaree, Sarah and Rojer!

Five stars aren't enough for this wonderful, all-positive dog training and playgroup center…read more For the past month or so we've been taking our dog to the half-day playgroups that Doggy Business offers, and we can already see positive changes in his behavior. The dog playgroup sessions are carefully monitored and involve training exercises in name response and recall. The staff treats the dogs with care and respect and offers feedback about the dog's behavior. Since dogs need to be interviewed before they're accepted into playgroups, we can be sure that our pup is playing and socializing in a reasonably safe pack. We're fairly certain that as our pup attends more playgroups he'll grow into an even happier, more well-balanced dog. Outstanding, reliable, professional care. Great resource for people with dogs in NE Portland.

Rae is so good at communicating changes/updates to clients, and she works with a team of knowledgeable dog walkers who genuinely love and care for the dogs they spend time with every day. They are reliable, they always show up on time, and they've clearly put a lot of work into helping Daisy become a better-trained dog. My dog gets SO excited when Cali or Theresa arrive to walk her. They send me pictures of the goofy things Daisy did and give you a little update after each walk. My dog comes home happy and tired after her walks, which is exactly what I want. I'd recommend Ruff Mutts to anyone with an active dog in Portland.

Ruff Mutts is wonderful. Rae is the best!…read more Last year my pooch, Hugo, was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma, an aggressive cancer. In the month between diagnosis and having to say good bye Rae was so amazing. She was flexible and responsive to my and Hugo's needs on any given day. She had been his dog walker for a while so I already knew that she would be loving and attentive and that he would be comfortable around her. It took a huge load off of my mind knowing that Rae would be by to check on my pup. She had always been great as a dog walker - sending pictures and videos so you know your friend is out having fun, leaving little notes and special little treats for you to give your pup when you get home. I can't say enough good things about Rae and Ruff Mutts. They are wonderful people and do an amazing job. Your kitty or pooch would be lucky to know them!

How does one go about evaluating the efficacy and general awesomeness of a good Dog Walking…read moreservice? Is it the way our dog is passed out after a session? Is it the way our dog stares out the window every single weekday morning until either they arrive, or he realizes they aren't coming that day and gives up with a deep sigh? Or his rapidly increasing social skills, heightened instincts, and general dogly confidence? Maybe it is the faint odor of muck and streams and all around fun that he brings home with him, or the extra baths he needs now and then? Perhaps it is one of the best damned collection of dog photos that one can find anywhere on the Internet, showcasing the pack at play. I'm not sure any of one thing in this list is more important than the others, but if you add them all up, the result is this: If you live anywhere within their area of service, and you are looking for a dog walking service, you needn't bother with anyone else. Oregon Tails is truly a top notch service. The end.
