How to choose a doggy daycare in Portland, OR

  • Verify vaccine requirements — Call each facility directly to confirm they require up-to-date rabies, DHPP (distemper), and Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccines. A reputable daycare in Portland will ask for proof before your dog's first visit.
  • Set a realistic price budget — Daycare rates in Portland typically range from $25 to $50 per day for full-day care, with half-day options often available at a lower rate. Ask about multi-day packages or monthly memberships if you plan to use daycare regularly.
  • Schedule a trial visit — Most top-rated providers offer a half-day evaluation or a free first visit. Use this time to see how staff interact with the dogs and whether the playgroups are organized by size and energy level.
  • Read recent reviews with a critical eye — Look for patterns in feedback about cleanliness, staff responsiveness, and how the facility handles emergencies. A provider with hundreds of reviews and a consistent 4.5+ star rating is a strong signal of reliability.
  • Ask about cancellation and late pickup policies — Many Portland daycares require 24-hour notice for cancellations and charge a late fee if you pick up after closing time. Clarify these terms before you commit.
  • Check for temperament testing — The best daycares require an initial temperament assessment to ensure your dog is comfortable in a group setting. This step reduces stress for both your pet and the staff.

What to expect on price

Daycare pricing in Portland, OR is competitive but varies based on location, hours of operation, and the level of supervision provided. For a single day of full-time care, you can generally expect to pay between $25 and $50. Half-day options, typically four to five hours, often fall in the $15 to $30 range. Many facilities offer discounted rates when you purchase a package of 10 or 20 days, and some provide a small discount for monthly unlimited plans. Overnight boarding at a daycare facility usually runs from $40 to $70 per night, though this depends on whether your dog stays in a private suite or a shared kennel area. Always ask if the listed price includes playtime, meals, and any enrichment activities, as these add-ons can increase the final cost.

Frequently asked questions

What are the typical hours for doggy daycare in Portland?

Most Portland doggy daycares operate Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM or 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Some facilities offer limited weekend hours for daycare, but many reserve weekends for boarding pickups and drop-offs only. Always confirm the specific drop-off and pickup windows with the provider before booking.

Do daycares accept all dog breeds and sizes?

Most Portland daycares accept all breeds and sizes, but they separate dogs into playgroups based on size, age, and energy level. Some facilities may have restrictions on certain breeds due to insurance policies, and others may require a temperament test for puppies under six months old. Call ahead to discuss your dog's specific needs.

What is the cancellation policy for daycare reservations?

Cancellation policies vary by provider, but a common standard in Portland is a 24-hour notice for full refund or credit. Some daycares allow same-day cancellations with a partial credit, while others may charge a fee for no-shows or last-minute cancellations. Always ask for the policy in writing when you book your first visit.

What should I bring to my dog's first daycare day?

Most Portland daycares ask you to bring proof of current vaccinations, a completed enrollment form, and any medications your dog needs. Many also recommend bringing your dog's own food if they have a sensitive stomach, though most facilities provide bowls and water. Leave toys, beds, and personal items at home unless the daycare specifically requests them, as items can get lost or cause resource guarding in group play.
