Adventures with Kate

Adventures with Kate is an in-home dog boarding and daycare service in the St. Johns area of Portland, Oregon. Dogs stay overnight in a home instead of a kennel building. The business also offers walks, drop-in visits, grooming, and training.

What services does Adventures with Kate offer?

The list covers most of what a Portland dog owner might need in a typical week or during a trip out of town:

• In-home overnight dog boarding
• Dog daycare
• Dog walks and drop-in visits
• Bathing and grooming
• Positive reinforcement training

How is it different from a traditional kennel?

Boarding happens in a home, which can suit dogs that do better with a quieter and more personal routine. The website describes an approach built on reading dog body language and giving dogs a safe place to have fun and build new skills. Training uses positive reinforcement, and the trainer is a GoodPup Certified Dog Trainer.

The business is licensed by Multnomah County and the City of Portland. It is also fully insured, with 100% coverage while dogs are in its care.

Practical details for owners

The website lists overnight boarding at $60 to $85 per night. New clients can book a free one-hour consultation and tour before a first stay. That visit gives owners and dogs a chance to see the setup and ask questions.

Transportation is available in St. Johns and adjacent neighborhoods. This helps owners who can't easily handle drop-off and pickup themselves.

Booking is handled by phone at 503-928-7312. General questions can also go to info@adventureswithkate.me.
