Opened in 2006, Dogs Dig It has become Portland's Premier Dog Care Facility offering a playful & enriching daycare program, premium boarding and professional full service grooming for over 18 years.. Experience, knowledge, customer service and safety are our top priorities.
Our Facility
With over 12,000 sq. feet of indoor/outdoor play yard space, dogs have ample amounts of space to safely run and play. Each turf covered play yard has a natural park like feel, with sunny decks, large tunnels to run through, rock like play structures, splash pools and water play. Our boarding dogs each have their own personal space where they can curl up on one of our super cozy faux lambs wool beds. We also have a modern full service grooming salon that specializes in personalized, one to one expert grooming.
Our Dog Care Philosophy
Our talented staff team has over 35 years of combined dog care experience. All of our caring dog handlers are extremely knowledgable (Dog Geeks) in dog body language and breed play styles. They are very skilled dog handlers, able to observe and analyzing ongoing dog play, recognizing when play is safe, balanced and appropriate and when to intervene. We like to pair dogs with other dogs who have similar styles of socializing, like-minded play styles, energy levels, size and temperaments. When needed we use a variety of positive dog play management techniques & interactive games to manage behavior and safety throughout the day. Parents love our friendly and knowledgeable customer service.
We know that your dog is an important well loved family member. Who you choose to care for your dog is an important decision. We invite you to come visit us, meet our fabulous team of expert care givers and learn more about the high quality loving care our staff team provides.

We Love Our Dogs!
Experts in dog body language, breed play styles, positive dog management techniques & interactive games
The safety of your pup is our top priority at Dogs Dig It. Below are just a few of the many ways we keep dogs safe while at Dogs Dig It.
Meet & Greets
We require all of our new dogs to complete what we call a meet & greet. This short visit gives your dog a chance to checkout DDI, explore our space, smell all the scents, meet other dogs and check out our large outdoor play yards. It is important that your dog likes dog daycare and enjoys spending time at DDI.
When a dog is uncomfortable, shows sings of dislike or displays high levels of anxiety while at DDI, interactions with other dogs can be complicated and have the potential to become a safety situation. We understand not all dogs like dog daycare, when that's the case we help you figure out other solutions that better fit your dog's personality and needs.
Cleaning & Disinfecting Process
We have an extensive and very thorough daily cleaning process. Throughout the day, we are constantly cleaning and disinfecting our equipment, kennel & yard areas, anything the dogs are touching, eating/drinking from or relieving on. We do this with a canine safe chemical called Top-Performance 256, specifically made for daycares & kennels, and that kills over 50 different viruses. At night we spray everything down again with a chlorine-based cleaning system called Wysiwash. All of our food and water bowls are washed & soaked in bleach.
Our Professional Staff Team
Dogs Dig It's supportive, inclusive company culture and high regard for safety attracts Portland's most talented dog handlers. Our dedicated, colorful team of dog geeks have over 30 plus years of dog care experience in a variety of settings, such as vet care, dog training and other boarding and daycare businesses.. Because safety is one of our core values we make sure to discuss safety, its importance and assess our daily operations regularly to make sure we meet our standards or if there a need for improvement.
