South Waterfront Reviews
3706 S River Parkway, Portland, Oregon 97239
Last minute boarding option if something comes up that I want to attend. This way I don’t have to scramble to find pet sitting options.
Plus, plus Jack loves Waterfront Dogtopia so I can relax knowing Jack is in good hands 🐶🐾🐶
The Dogtopia of South Waterfront has been the absolute hands-down best place I have EVER taken my dog for daycare and boarding.
I found myself in a bind two days before a business trip when my previous boarder abruptly closed up shop. I reached out Dogtopia and they went above and beyond to make sure I could get my little guy evaluated, booked and boarded before my trip. I was so nervous taking him to a new place but the moment I dropped him off, my worry was replaced by a huge sense of relief. The staff at Dogtopia show such love and appreciation for every pet that comes through there. But I’ll tell you: the excitement and love they shower my dog with EVERY TIME I bring him in — there’s nothing like it. I walk out of there grinning ear to ear.
There’s also special themed events, photo shoots and “treats” you can sign up for — along with spa services. Rango especially loves his mani / pedi!
It’s not the cheapest place but it’s also not the most exspensive option either. And honestly — should you take your dog to the dollar store equivalent of doggie daycare? Absolutely not. Take your pet somewhere you know they’ll be loved and cared for!
The staff makes the difference. They are friendly, prompt, professional. They know and love dogs. Lola and the Friday staff are favorites for us. We’ve been going for years now even though it’s out of our neigborhood.
The staff knows every dogs name when they enter and they greet them immediately. The staff is friendly and very loving and caring. They are always so kind and gentle with my very timid Darla.
You are all about the dog 🙂
I had to travel to Portland for a work weekend and needed to take my Corgi. It was a hot weekend and she could not stay in the car like normal. they made time to run her trough the process and she had a great two days of daycare. Staff was great
socialization
I love all the different event days that change each week and month. Going home with paw print art is really special!
And my previously shy puppy absolutely loves going there, so the staff must be doing a great job separating the groups by comfort level and play-style.
The staff is always vwery friendly and welcoming. My dog seems happy to go and play. She smells good when I pick her up at the end of the day
My girl loves going to daycare. The web cams are great, I like to be able to see my dog playing and having the best time. The Spa is a lifesaver, they give her a bath and trim her nails so I don’t have to. The people at Dogtopia truly love dogs. I’ve recommended them to several friends and neighbors.
