It took a few times, but much less than I had anticipated for Shari to get them comfortable for her to be with them alone and leash them up and take their walk. She also walks our chihuaua, who also is difficult to gain trust. She has won her over as well. They all know when it is time for her to come for their walk, and wait by the door. It's chaos when she comes in, but they know if they behave they get to go. Shari is great with them, also arrives on time, and genuinely cares. I recommend her to everyone! Kim

I heard about Wags from a mom at Hondo Dog Park, and I'm so glad that I decided to try Wags!…read more Everything about Wags is fantastic from what I've seen so far. My puppy Pepper attended a fellow dog's birthday party on her first day, and she looks so happy! :D This picture warms my heart! Any dog care place that takes the time and care to have birthday parties with beautiful party hats is a good place to go! :D Unlike other dog care locations, they let me see inside the facility, and I love that there are trainers in with the dogs at all times & that positive reinforcement is used. It's great that the dogs are on rubber padded flooring, and I know that Peps isn't stuck in a cage at any point in her stay. I also love that there's lullabies played during nap time to help them know it's time to sleep. The prices are either at or below competitor locations for day care (I purchase the bulk reservations - so for me it's $32 a day). Pepper is a high energy dog, and they recommend bringing high energy dogs early in the day so that they have the best opportunity to play and get that energy out. This works well with my schedule - so I drop her off at 6:30AM, and pick her up at 1:30PM. She comes home tired and sleeps the rest of the day, which is great so I can sleep before I work my overnight shift & I know that she won't be harassing my 2 cats because she's tired from playing all day. The only reason I don't attend more frequently is that Sherwood's a bit of a drive from Hillsboro, but I'm making sure she attends Wags as much as we can. I was able to get these extremely great pictures of Pepper from Wags's Facebook page, but my suggestion for improvement is installing a camera system so I or my partner can watch her having fun during the day. We like to be able to see her (and I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to be able to see their furry loved ones).

This place used to be amazing because of the dedicated, knowledgeable staff who genuinely cared…read moreabout the dogs. Unfortunately, things have taken a sharp turn for the worse under the current ownership. Some of the best employees--the ones who built trust with clients and kept the dogs safe--have been leaving one after another due to how poorly the business is being run. Now, completely untrained new hires are being brought in and told they'll be managing, despite having zero experience with dog behavior or daycare safety protocols. It's incredibly unsafe--for both the dogs and the staff. The owner takes no responsibility for training or preparing new employees. There's no onboarding, no walkthrough of fight protocols, and no clear procedures for how to handle emergencies. He also underpays OG staff yet new hires with zero experience are brought in above them. This is no longer a place I would trust with my dog's safety. Until there's a serious change in leadership and training, I would recommend looking elsewhere.

My dog loves coming here and the staff is very engaged and aware of what's happening with your pup. They noticed a tiny bump on his head (he had prior to coming) and six months later remembered that bump when he had surgery on it. Their staff is always friendly, seem to love the dogs, and take their time answering any questions. We're very fortunate to have them here. My only quibble is that you don't actually go in to their facility. You arrive, call, and they come get your dog. (At pickup, some folks don't even get out of their car -- the staff opens car door and pup hops in.) So, I haven't actually been inside though they do have tours on Saturdays when they don't have dogs running around. I was put off by that initially, but from the pics I see and how much my dog loves it, I'm fine with it. A nice perk is they take really nice pics of pups for their Instagram page, including the one they took of mine here.

I do not recommend this place. I tried their self service dog wash. Their tubs are too flimsy for…read morelarge dogs. And their shampoo's are so watered down that it just squirts out like tapwater. If you do go, you need to bring your own shampoo. On top of that, the "shampoo" smelled like something that's used commercially to mop floors. I've never smelled that smell before and a shampoo. God only knows what I was washing my dog with. When I asked the guy why the shampoos were so watery, he said that "they were running low so they added some water so that they would go farther until their next shipment arrived." Despite my better judgment, I also brought my Shih Tzu there for full grooming because she needed a haircut. When I dropped her off for her APPOINTMENT, the person that was going to groom her told me it would take a couple of hours meaning she would be ready by 11am, having a 9a appointment. At 11:15am I called the store to see if my dog was ready. The Store manager answered the phone and informed me that she would be ready around 2 PM because "they had a lot of walk-ins and other dogs that needed to be groomed too". I said well that's why I made an appointment and that the lady that was grooming my dog said that she would only take about two hours and would be ready at 11 AM. This person on the phone continued to argue with me about "you don't know how dog grooming businesses work," among other abrasive comments. I had gone out to run errands during these two hours and was nearby which is why I called. I decided to go ahead and go over there and pick up my dog - in whatever condition she was in. I figured if she was going to be another 3 hours, she was probably still in a cage waiting for her bath. When I arrived, they brought up my dog, who appeared to have already had her bath and haircut, Which made me extra confused - if she was already finished why did they tell me that she wouldn't be ready until 2 PM? When it was time to pay, one of the employees had to go back and ask what the charge would be for the grooming service. He came back flustered and said it would be $90! For a 15 pound Shih Tzu! I asked why it was so high, and he just said that's the price he was told. I asked to see a price sheet and he acted like he didn't know if one existed. Then he pulled out a price sheet that was laminated on a chain right there by the cash register and told me how these were "old prices from years ago" when he first started even though it was on a chain and laminated and right there dangling from the cash register. The price sheet for a Shih Tzu said $65 and up. I would certainly like to know why I was charged $90! Of course, there was no explanation. I cannot emphasize enough how much I do not recommend this place - self-serve or full groom. Save yourself a headache and possibly injury to your pet and go someplace else!

I apologize for the length and I'm not usually a negative…read morereviewer but... full experience: We recently relocated to Portland from Sacramento, Ca and were so excited to find a passionate group of folks to take care of our three cats and 70lbs dog in-(our)house. We used Tails and Trails 3 times with mixed results. Important to know- you create detailed notes with the owner (Jeff) on how to access your building, routines, where leashes are, etc., etc., when you have your introductory visit. Our instructions ask that the handler only feeds the cats their canned food, nothing else. 1st time, week-long trip (June 2024)- handlers were 2+ hours late regularly. While this wasn't the biggest issue, we don't have a doggie door and that level of lateness pushed the pup's bathroom breaks longer than we're comfortable. But, we liked the service offered and adjusted how often we scheduled handler visits for the second and third visits. 2nd time, 1 week of walks while both of us were gone for longer than 8 hours (September 2024)- Great! Annie (I'm not disclosing employees' full names for their privacy) had no problems and was very helpful. 3rd time, overnight away- 4 visits requested: Sat afternoon and evening; Sun am and afternoon (October 2024)- Day 1- We left the house at 8 am and scheduled feeding/walk visits for about 1:00 pm and 6:00 pm. Around 1:25 pm, Chloe (office manager) texted me to ask if we had scheduled for 7:00 am that day. When we said we hadn't, a communication between Chloe and a handler led to the 1:00 pm visit being skipped. We talked with Chloe that evening and she said the handler would roll the afternoon and evening visits together, apologized for the miscommunication between herself and the handler, and credited our account for the mistake (all great). The handler arrived around 7:00 pm. They had a difficult time accessing the building so Chloe texted us to say the handler would hang out for a little longer before leaving if they couldn't get access. Once they did get into the building, they couldn't find the food or leash. The access information, food instructions, and where the leashes are were all in the instructions. The handler fed the pets and took the pup for a 15-min potty break. Since we were only gone for a night, we didn't book anyone to stay overnight. We considered cutting the trip short and wish we had. Day 2- Oscar was our handler. We got notifications that both visits were completed and everything seemed to have gone smoothly. When we got home, a glass jar with cat treats had been taken from the closed closet and left open on the counter. When we got home, there were treats all over the counter and SHATTERED GLASS MIXED WITH TREATS all over the floor. All three cats had engorged stomachs. While Chloe apologized and said she'd speak with Oscar the next day, we didn't hear back from Tails and Trails' manager or owner. We'll be anxiously monitoring our furbabies for a few more days.

I used A Sweet Life For Pets for a little over one year for pet sitting for our dogs. All went well until the last few months, and then unfortunately the interactions with the owner started to change. As is common in life, situations occur that require unpredictable scheduling changes. The owner made me feel guilty when I made changes, even though we always paid her for all of the visits that we cancelled with short notice, as a way of saying thank you for any inconvenience that the cancellations may have caused. Also, we always gave her generous gratuities for every visit that she completed! In all my years of having pet sitters help us out, I never experienced such poor customer service from the provider. I will close by saying that I do know that she cared about our dogs, and provided them with good care. It was unfortunate that her treatment of us as pet owners was such a negative that we did not feel comfortable with her caring for our dogs any longer.
