    This is a long overdue review. Also, I think this is more like a thank-you letter to Jen than a…read morereview. As many others have stated, Jen is amazing. Our dog, Shaka, just loved spending time with her and the other pups she cared for. We were a little worried at first about his temperament being around others (humans and other animals) since he gets a little skittish, but he seemed to thrive there. When it was pick-up time, he was always happy and seemed to sleep very well from getting his exercise and socialize in. (He also smelled great on his longer stays. Thank you for the baths!) Jen is super flexible and communicative. We were so appreciative of this since we tend be rather spontaneous and would ask to drop him off the day before sometimes. We also would extend his stay last minute, for example, when we were taking road trips and wanted to stop for the night instead of driving all the way through a town. (Sorry and thank you so much, Jen!) Shaka has stayed over from one day to two weeks (possibly more), and each time, we've received text updates from her and even pictures of him happy with his friends. I always looked forward to those. Shaka passed away early last year, and I've been meaning to write this for a long time to say, "Thank you, Jen!" for being such a wonderful caregiver and trustworthy and friendly person overall. Dog parents, I 1000% recommend Jen.

    Jen is without a doubt the we will leave our best friend with. I trust her 100%!…read moreShe is a real lover of animals. My dog returned happy and healthy.

    Finding the right daycare for young, sensitive dog is hard. Mary Ellen's "Wag Along" made it easy…read more I was nervous about finding a doggy daycare for my young golden retriever, Cooper. I had taken a new in-office job, and I didn't want him alone all day. I also didn't want an industrial kennel operation, like taking him to work in a factory. Those places tend to have a high volume of dogs and high worker turnover, and I really didn't want him around aggressive dogs or picking up stressed-out behaviors with inexperienced dog handlers. Wag Along is the opposite of all that -- a real home with a real yard, a section of her own set up just for the dogs. The owner, Mary Ellen, runs the whole operation herself, so you know she is the point-person for any questions or concerns. She's located conveniently right off the 205, perfect for anyone that passes through SE PDX. What struck me at first about this dog daycare was the pick-up and drop-off scene. The dogs surround Mary Ellen with happy tails, all of them relaxed. There's no barking, no chaos, no wound-up energy. None! That doesn't happen by accident. She clearly screens for temperament and knows how to keep the whole group settled. Cooper adores her. I call "dog school" and he lights up when he knows we're going. He comes home so happy, blissfully tired, and all smiles -- his Fi tracker shows he's logging serious miles in that yard. It's great after a long day at work; I don't need to take him on a walk. Cooper sometimes falls asleep on the drive home. Mary Ellen also has a mobile groomer come by to Wag Along regularly, which is a great bonus.... My dog comes home handsome and smelling fresh! Boarding has also been very easy. Mary Ellen asks for their daily food portions in a baggie, any special blanket or bedding, and she takes care of the rest. She also administers medication, if needed. I have planned vacations with Cooper staying at (what I call) "dog camp," but Mary Ellen has also been accommodating when a last-minute boarding was needed for a medical emergency. She's someone to trust. Mary Ellen is professional, communicative, and the dogs in her care are obviously well loved. I trust her 100% with mine. Honestly, if I could write Cooper into my will to go to her, I would. I'm back to working remotely; but Cooper is still going to Wag Along a few days per week. It's positive stimulation and exercise for him. I am not getting anything special out of this post. I am writing it because Mary Ellen / Wag Along is a gem amongst some real dog turds. If you're looking for a home-based daycare/boarding where your dog will be genuinely cared for and not just contained, this is it.

    Mary Ellen is rude, unprofessional, and temperamental - please never leave your dog in the hands of…read morethis person. This review is delayed, but I never forgot the stress and horrors Mary Ellen put me through. I had a delayed flight, and she threw a fit that I would be unable to pick up my dog in the afternoon, as originally planned, but instead that I would pick my dog up first thing in the morning. When I showed up in the morning, Mary Ellen was outside organizing her recycling and refused to make eye contact with me, or say hello. My dog, she was locked in a kennel outside the gate with all her stuff. Immediately I noticed my dog had some white sticky goo on her backside, and when I got home I immediately bathed her. When I texted Mary Ellen to ask what that was, she said it was sap. I'm not even sure if she has a tree in her backyard. I worried (and still do) that something terrible had happened to my dog. And then, she had the gall to text me back and say I owed her an extra $25!!! Exhausted and stressed, and having seen how unstable and temperamental she is, I paid her in order to not deal with her anymore. Please note - the prices on her website are not accurate. There's a handful of negative reviews on her Yelp and Google reviews. These reviews are consistent outlining her cruel behavior to pet owners entrusting their dogs in her care, and lack of patience and respect - this woman is not well. Please consider that only because the negative reviews are few, doesn't mean they're not true.
