Daycare

Thoughtful, supervised dog daycare in Portland & Beaverton, designed around each pup’s play style, energy level, and the right balance of movement and rest. We keep playgroups small with low dog-to-staff ratios and use positive reinforcement techniques to guide and enrich every session. From social butterflies to pups who prefer a calmer pace, every day is structured to feel safe, engaging, and genuinely fun.

What We Offer

Playgroup Consultation

This is where every Sniff pup begins. Our Playgroup Consultation is a guided introduction to group play, designed to ensure your dog’s comfort, safety, and success. We observe their energy, social style, and group interactions to place them in the playgroup that fits best. Available by appointment seven days a week, with early drop-offs encouraged. The $25 consultation includes a private suite for the day, and the fee is waived when scheduled during a boarding stay.

“Our dogs never come home stressed after staying at Sniff”

We have been taking our dogs to Sniff Dog Hotel since they opened 16 years ago. We had just moved to Portland, and I had been looking for a good place where I would feel comfortable boarding our dogs. I am pretty neurotic about our dogs, so I needed to find a place that checked all the boxes. It was not until I visited Sniff Dog Hotel that I knew I had found the perfect place! First of all, it is very secure. We have sighthounds who can be flight risks, so that is important to me. The kennel rooms are clean, spacious and quiet.  All the larger kennels have webcams...

“Treat all dogs like family”

Our dog is delighted every visit to Sniff for daycare, P.E. Class (play and enrichment) and her overnight vacations. The play groups are organized perfectly based on size and energy level. Our little one loves playing with dog friends, doing activities like skateboarding and hurdles.. most of all, she loves the amazing Sniff team who treat all the dogs like family. Thank you!

“She made a lot of friends while staying at Sniff”

Such a wonderful place for our dog Zhuri da 🐻, the company & employees that work there are very professional with tons of knowledge on dogs & their habits. Bear had social playtime with other dogs & was included in an obstacle course for extra stimulated fun. She made a lot of friends while staying at Sniff, I highly recommend this place
