Living a Life Full of Pets

My love for pets began where I grew up in Lancaster, CA. At a very early age, my parents bought us two sweet little guinea pigs that we named Alexander and Daisy. One looked like an orange creamsicle and the other was a tuxedo.

Growing up, my brothers and I would sneak stray cats into our house. My dad said he "didn't like cats" but Church, a shorthair Russian Blue, easily won him over. Hazel, a long-haired fluff monster also snuck her way into the family. My dad was a tall '50s man from the east coast who had owned dogs so it's always been in my blood.

While living in Santa Cruz, CA, we had a senior Calico named Emeline that we adopted at a local shelter. Then there was Salem, a beautiful tabby. After she passed, we adopted Mica, who was a highly intelligent Calico and Abyssinian mix. That girl was always about her zoomies in our home. Dwarf hamsters also were part of our fur babies our tiny apartment. It was a blast watching them stuff their cheeks and make fluffy homes. So adorbs!

Adopting From Oregon Human Society

Around 2006, we moved to Portland, OR to be closer to our family. My sister-in-law was working at Oregon Human Society and we adopted Pedro, a long-haired Russian Blue. We liked to call him "Puppy" because he loved fetching small rolled-up pieces of paper.

My sister-in-law had an adorable tripod dog named Scooby who was so kind and gentle. Every time, I saw that pup, he was always happy and full of joy. I learned a lot from that boy. My family would help them out and would board him (and her other dogs) regularly at our house. That's when my love for dogs really blossomed.

We also started boarding dogs at our house three years ago through Rover. Business took off in early summer of 2021 and that's when I left their platform. A few months later, I launched Pooch Patrol LLC so I could focus on caring for rescues, seniors, and anxious dogs.

Our family of pooches and kitties continues to grow and I am so grateful to be outside everyday, hanging out, and having fun with your furbabies. I love this type of work so much 😎 and warms my heart.

Resort Accomdations

Play & Exercise

Our concrete driveway is about 60' x 20' and where your dog can get its energy out. We have plenty of ChuckIt balls, rubber frisbees, and rope toys for pooches that are high-energy and like to play.

There's a 10' x 10' dedicated area in our backyard where you pet can do its doggie business. It's covered with wood chips which are safe for its paws.

Hanging Out & Sleeping

We have a long 7' couch where your dog is welcome to hang out during its stay. We use a couch cover so it's protected. There's also two armchairs for dogs to relax and look out the window.

Our 6' plush dog bed is cozy for hanging and sleeping too. Downstairs is the doggy den which is perfect for pooches who need space from others or have mobility challenges, like seniors. There's a place for everyone at our resort!

We don't use crates because we believe an open environment works well for rescues, seniors, and anxious pups. Your pet can choose where it's most comfortable.
