Scooter's Bed and Biscuit is the loving, home-style, cage-free daycare and boarding alternative for special doggies in the Portland metro area. I began my professional pet care career part-time in 1985 during my college years. While growing my pet care business, I also worked in both an animal shelter and veterinarian offices as veterinary technician until I was able to make pet care my full-time career. In 2004, I moved to the West Coast and successfully established my business in Northern California. After yearning for decades to live in the Great Pacific Northwest, I moved here in 2007 and began offering dog boarding and daycare in the Portland metro area.

Caring for dogs is the goal every day at Scooter's Bed and Biscuit. I am an expert at keeping dogs happy and stress-free while their people are away from home, and a less-stressed dog is a much healthier dog. Rather than simply making sure a dog's basic needs of food, water, and shelter are met, I go the extra distance to ensure each canine guest has a tailored stay to accommodate their needs for companionship, rest, and activity. Dogs love Scooter's location near the river and all the action that provides. There are big, interesting birds flying overhead (and sometimes resting in our trees) and squirrels leaving treasures outside to sniff and then be chased from tree to tree around the big, grassy yard.

Almost any dog would enjoy Scooter's Bed and Biscuit for boarding or daycare. Family dogs who are not aggressive toward other dogs, and who like to run and play with equally fun-loving canines, excel at my B&B. Also, dogs who pine for their people while home alone, and who might get into a little mischief because of their loneliness, love to spend time with me in the constructive, positive and nurturing environment I provide. In addition to lots of play, there is also time set aside for rest and cuddling.

I take the time and make every effort to create a place where all personalities will feel comfortable. Quiet dogs will enjoy spending time relaxing with a loving caregiver who spoils them with belly rubs. Active dogs will find the large fully-enclosed yard really satisfies their need to stretch their legs and receive extra attention from someone who will throw the ball over and over and over. I strive to tailor each dog's stay with me to their individual needs in order to make sure stress and anxiety are not a factor during their time away from home.

I LOVE them when you have to leave them!
