We are open 365 days per year from 7am to 7pm in order to take care of your dog day care needs. Our dog day care customers are taken without reservation on a first come first serve basis. It is very rare that we are unable to take your dog but if you are unsure, simply give us a call to confirm that we are able to take your dog. nnAll dogs that are not going to be hand carried should be brought to our facility with a secure leash, collar and or harness. Our Portland facility is very secure once your dog is inside, but do please keep in mind that we are located on a busy street with lots of activity taking place throughout the day. Unfortunately, far too many owners do not pay careful attention to their own dogs security! Please take a moment to make sure that your dog is fully secured for his or her short trip to and from your car. nnFor those needing brief periods of dog day care, we have half day packages that cover periods of 5 hours of less. For those needing more, we offer full-day day care rates good for any time period over 5 hours between 7am and 7pm. Our single use rates are $15 for a half day and $25 for a full day. However, we offer a number of pre-paid packages with deep discounts that can lower your costs to as little as $7.50 per half day and $10 per full day. nnTypically, most day care dogs are fed at home either before leaving home, after leaving home or both. We generally do not feed our day care dogs. However, some puppies and other dogs with special needs are on an eating cycle that includes a mid-day meal. If this is the case with your dog, simply bring his or her mid-day meal. A note will be made to our staff at check-in that your dog is to receive a mid-day lunch. nnIf your work or school schedule happens to not take place during our normal business hours of 7am - 7pm give us a call. We may be able to accommodate a swing shift or other non-traditional schedule. We always try to find a way to say yes to customer requests if at all possible. We have numerous long term doggy clients who have been kicked out or rejected by other dog day care providers do to purported behavioral issues, health conditions, special needs, or odd schedules. Safe Journey Dog Boarding takes pride in making every effort to be the dog daycare providers that says yes!nnWe\'re particularly skilled at taking care of pets with special needs, including older animals with low mobility. We also provide a great environment to socialize your new puppy or receive help with behavioral problems and obedience training.nnProfessional Associations nNational Federation of Independent BusinessesnnPayment Types Accepted nAMEX; Cash; Discover; MasterCard; VISAnnBiography nCraig Capley nnThe Safe Journey Dog Boarding facility was opened in 2006 as an upscale boutique provider of doggie daycare and overnight dog boarding. As the economic down turn took its toll on people\'s ability to afford to pay top dollar for dog care, the business was put up for sale in 2010. I purchased the business early that year and have been working to bring affordable cage free dog daycare and overnight dog boarding to middle class Portland area families. nnAs a life long dog owner I have cared for numerous dogs and dog breeds. I\'ve had Bassets, Labs, Doxies, Chihuahuas, Terriers, Goldens, Danes, and Weimaraners in my home at one time or another. In addition, I have spent over 30 years in Corporate America building award winning service organizations and outstanding work teams most recently as a Regional V.P. for a local storage provider. nnWhen the opportunity came to take charge of the Safe Journey brand, I jumped at the chance to apply my proven business skills to building a first class Portland area dog care provider. It is my goal to find every way possible to provide the safety, comfort, and care to my dog customers as I expect for my own dog. She comes to work with me every day at Safe Journey because there is not place better for a dog to stay while their owner is at work or away!
