3 Dogs Boarding & Daycare Stay Pet Hotel

Portland's Premier Kennel-Free Dog Boarding & Daycare

3 Dogs Boarding & Daycare – Serving Portland Metro Area
Stay Pet Hotel – Near PDX Airport

Dog Boarding & Daycare Services

All breeds welcome!

Serving dogs weighing 10 lbs and over. Because of our careful intake process, it's difficult for us to accommodate first-time/last minute or out of the area customers. Our intake process includes both a temperament evaluation and trial day of daycare before your dog's first stay with us. This process keeps all of our guests safe and accustoms your dog to our daycare/boarding environment.

Two Locations – One Philosophy

We believe our four-legged guests deserve a home away from home – a safe environment where they can enjoy natural doggy routines of playing, resting and socializing. Both 3 Dogs Boarding & Daycare and Stay Pet Hotel offer just that:

  • Large, fenced outdoor play areas with play structures, water features and plenty to sniff.
  • Spacious climate-controlled indoor areas full of comfy beds, chairs and laps.
  • Caring and attentive staff supervising guests day and night.
  • Small-group enrichment activities with staff and fellow pups. One-on-one time with staff for those dogs who prefer people to dogs.

At 3 Dogs and Stay Pet, everything is included in our standard boarding fees and daycare fees. There are no additional charges for:

  • Special diets
  • Medication
  • Physical exercise
  • Personal attention
  • Individualized meals and/or snacks – even if it means hand feeding!

Like you at home, we learn our furry guests’ personality traits, quirky habits and individual preferences. Whether a favorite game or hand feeding, every guest gets exactly what they need.

Let Your Dog Hitch a Ride with Waggin’ Wagon Mobile Playgroups

Jul 1, 2024

Need a lift? Waggin’ Wagon is the ultimate solution for people who want help transporting their beloved furry friends to daycare. Unlike a carpool, it’s never your turn to drive the pups to school. A typical outing lasts three hours at daycare plus time in transit. Our guests visit our private dog park at 3 Dogs Boarding & Daycare, where they have hours to get the exercise and social interaction essential to the health of any dog. We can also do a one way trip for boarding or daycare dogs if you have a scheduling conflict on a particular day. If your pup does well in a vehicle and you want to get them ready for Fall (back to school), schedule your Waggin Trial now!

FAQ – General Questions

COVID-19 has affected all of us in many different ways. Some of the changes have been positive and others less so. It's the same for our dogs. Over the last couple of years, we’ve seen many changes in the dogs as they return to a more “normal” social life. Separation anxiety is the most common change. Another is that some dogs are behind socially – they haven't learned how to play or interpret responses from other pups. It can be super frustrating not to understand or be understood.

Our goal has always been to provide a safe, comfortable and enjoyable space for your pups to be when they aren't with you. In dog years your pup has been out of the scene for a long time.

We want to set everyone up for success, especially your dog. Depending on how long since your last visit, we may need to start the process all over again with a new evaluation appointment or, possibly, just schedule a revisit day.

Some things that we take into consideration when that choice is made are the following:

  • How long has it been since my dog was there?
  • How old was my dog then vs. now?
  • What sort of socializing have they been doing with other dogs during that time?
  • Any behavior concerns or issues and what are they?
  • Have they spent any time away from you and, if so, how long and how did they do?

For the pup who hasn't been away from you for more than an hour or two in the last two years, spending a day at daycare could be very stressful. Some dogs have come back as if they had never left. However, for many, it’s been tough for the first couple of visits. Like yours, their world shrank dramatically for a period of time. This period of sheltering in place may have come at a pivotal time in their developmental process, leaving them ill-equipped for the highly social nature of boarding or daycare. Also, dogs change as they age; they may have become less patient with youngsters or less tolerant of larger group settings.

If you’re considering resuming boarding or daycare with us (YAY! We've missed you!), please plan ahead a few weeks if you can. We may need to ease your pup back into the routine before boarding for a week or more. Every dog is different!

As always, we will need proof of current vaccines, and your pup will need to be on effective flea prevention.
