Dogtopia of Pearl District

We love Dogtopia! Our pup Olivia goes several days a week and enjoys her time here. She’s made so many pup friends! The staff are all very responsive and take great care of her. Tex is a favorite and I often see her so lovingly giving pets to all the pups in the toy room on the web cam. Thank you, Dogtopia!

I have been recommending Dogtopia Pearl District for all of my pet parent friends since my sweet "Stu" started attending last year! Each staff member we've interacted with are all incredibly kind people, and they truly care about each and every dog that comes through their doors. Stu attends daycare regularly, and he absolutely loves it. As soon as we pull up to the front door or day "daycare", he gets so excited and can't wait to run inside. The facility is clean, spacious, and at least one trained staff member is always keeping an attentive eye on the dogs. There are separate play areas for small and large dogs, which ensures that every dog is safe and comfortable. The staff members are so knowledgeable about dog behavior and quick to intervene if they see any potential issues. When you become a member at Dogtopia, you have access to the webcams for all of the dog rooms, so you can keep an eye on your fur baby at all times and I am always so impressed with how the staff is able to monitor the dogs and even detect when a dog needs "a break" from all the playtime. One of the things that sets Dogtopia Pearl District apart is their commitment to providing individual attention to each dog. They take the time to get to know each dog's personality and preferences, which allows them to tailor the daycare experience to each individual dog. Stu loves running around with his furry friends and the staff always makes sure he gets plenty of exercise and attention. Recently, we needed to board Stu for two weeks while we were out of the country. While we missed him so much, we were so happy to have Dogtopia Pearl District watch him, ensure he was eating his foods and taking his medication properly, and loving on him as much as we do. While Stu is a friendly, easy-going dog, he experiences digestive issues from overexerting himself. While he was boarded, the Dogtopia fam collaborated every day to monitor Stu and even pull him out of the playroom a little more often so he could have the time to rest. This extra attention was super appreciated, and the staff never made us feel that we were a bother. Additionally, Dogtopia Pearl District offers spa services (bath, nails, teeth cleaning) and even offers optional "themed days" where you can make a small donation to give your dog a tasty treat like a pumpkin treat, a special lunch like chicken and rice, or even get their photo taken with a special backdrop. For Christmas, one of the lead staff members dressed up as Santa and took photos with the dogs. They take multiple photos and add them to their Facebook account — super convenient and I love having so many professional photos of Stu! Overall, I cannot recommend Dogtopia Pearl District enough. If you're looking for a safe, clean, and fun environment for your dog to play and socialize, this is definitely the place to go. The staff truly goes above and beyond to make sure every dog has a great time, and we are so grateful for all that they do for Stu to make him feel confident, comfortable, and loved.

We've had to move cities unexpectedly twice now -- so I've had a few doggy daycare experiences. After a month of sending my pugs to Dogtopia, I can say it's an excellent experience, where the staff is attentive and friendly, relate helpful information, and my dogs come home happy, socialized and tired. Absolutely recommend this place. First off, if you're concerned about anything doggy-daycare related, or new to it -- I highly suggest reading the excellent article "The Truth About Dog Daycare" by Fern Dog Training. She visits doggy daycares for a living, and rates them -- and explains layout, interactions, etc. (E.g., "It's pretty normal for some dogs to stand around -- they're still getting socialization!"; "Don't stare at the webcam all day," etc.). She even explains that it's like sending a human kid to school, where they may pick up a cold, or get a couple of bumps (as a mom, this is a relatable analogy). It's an even-keeled and data-driven read and it helped me a ton when choosing dog daycares. That said, I love that I can peek at the dogs on the webcam and see that they're at least hanging out a bit and getting good doggie socialization (our last daycare didn't have webcams!). The staff has always been super responsive when I have a question on text or when I call. They're super close to us, and I love that I can drop off/pick up anytime (even on weekends!) without having to give tons of warning (this is very new to me and I love it!). Sometimes the lines to pick up/drop off are long, but this has been true at every daycare and it just requires a bit of patience during rush hour. But that's a small thing, and my dogs now run to the door at Dogtopia -- even my elderly girl, who just enjoys sleeping near the other dogs. So happy my dogs have a little "third space" in Dogtoopia!

My dog was at the Pearl District location in Portland Oregon dogtopia since October 1- Nov 12 2024. The staff was friendly and my dog enjoyed going there however, he has been in and out of Vet offices within those weeks of attendance and he ended up with Giardia twice and then Kennel cough shortly after Nov 12 day care attendance and that kennel cough turned into pneumonia. According to our vet, the incubation period for both illnesses aligns closely with Hurley’s stay at this facility, and he has not been exposed to other animals outside and he has not been to any other daycare or dog parks. Vet bills totaled over $2000. Their sanitation process is questionable. Do not take your dogs at this daycare if you care about their well being. We switched daycare after he recovered from both illnesses and he hasn't had an issue since the switch.

If I could do a zero star review I would. But I will NEVER be returning to this dogtopia or any of them ever. Ive been taking my dog there for months(2-4 times a week) and I was told hes been doing great every time I pick him up. come to find out the day he gets into a scuffle with another dog and hurts the other dogs toe. That hes been having a consistent behavioral issues basically since day one of bringing him there. I wont defend my dogs actions. But what i am pissed about is the fact that I was left completely in the dark about any issues going on with him while at daycare. Preventing me from doing anything about the behavior. That is 100% unacceptable. Its the responsibility of a daycare facility to be upfront and honest about a dogs behavior for the safety of EVERYONE involved dogs and people included and the failure to do so is a blatant disrespect and breach of trust towards the petparents who leave their dogs there. The endless risk that it imposes is unimaginable. Not to mention the fact that when scuffles do happen they remove your dog from the play area and shove them in a room by themselves for hour+ on end. Which is also not communicated if they do that so any energy then need to burn off while at daycare is completely ignored. Overall the experience I had here for a first time daycare user is completely and utterly unacceptable and frankly dangerous. DO NOT bring your pet here. For your dogs safety and your peace of mind.

Chip has a blast with every visit. Working on him listening/trusting other humans and socialize with other dogs. He's an absolute velcro dog (Aussie) and hates being taken to the back. Once he sees his friends he forgets what he was anxious about.

Worth every penny! They also have an app and you can check on your dog throughout the day. The staff know everyone by name and they go above and beyond to address any concerns or questions. Lots of flexibility! My little dog gets really anxious and he has never really done well with other caregivers. The staff at Dogtopia have been so kind and patient with him. Julio has completely come out of his shell and blossomed. He loves daycare now.LOL He actually had his first overnight Dogtopia earlier this week and it was the first time he didn’t have any accidents or throw up in his crate. I’m so grateful to the staff for the kindness and professionalism.

When my work friend recommended Dogtopia, our expectations were low. We just wanted our shy and nervous puppy Pixie to tolerate other dogs and get some exercise while we were at work. But in the 3 months since we started taking her, she's grown so confident and social. Now when we drop her off once a week she spends the entire time either by the trainer or playing with the other dogs. I also appreciate how as soon as we come home, she passes out from her fun day. Now I recommend it to everyone!
