The one thing I found weird at first was his policy to wait outside for them to let you in. This initially felt like something fishy was going on, but knowing my dog, at least, it makes total sense for them to try to mitigate the number of knocks on the door and strangers walking up unannounced. This would terrify my dog and I appreciate him taking all of the dogs' needs into consideration. The other thing to maybe note is that the guy seems more like a dog person than a people person. I personally have no problem with peopl... read more

We had no problems when we came back to pick her up, in fact, our dog seemed more comfortable with herself than before.

I called here and he said he wanted to meet first to talk about our dog's needs, etc. I went thinking it'd be like 10-15 min, but ended up spending over an hour there, talking about our dog's special needs, doing a tour, meeting other dogs. He had actually wanted us to bring our dog so she could meet some of the other regulars. He stressed the importance of easing her in slowly and asked for us to bring her in for a day so she could know we'd come back when we actually left. He seemed very knowledgeable and his philosophies ... read more

I recommended this place to a friend and she told me it had horrible reviews, came here and was horrified. However, my personal experience there was really positive.

My dogs were in Safe Journey every work day for 2 months and never showed any signs of stress (like my second dog does in crazy situations). The owner and the other caretaker were kind and loving towards the dogs.

After a terrible experience with the other daycare Safe Journey came to the rescue. They agreed to try him on a trial for a day, giving him a space to be laid back for most of the day and socializing for occasional outings. I've seen them handle other special needs dogs too. They don't allow the dogs to hit that wild stage that so many other places do where dogs get hurt and continue to have terrible manners.

I moved to Portland 2 months ago and was in temporary corporate extended stay housing. The housing allowed my dogs, but I needed to find a place I could leave them during the day while I worked.
