About Portland Pawz
Local, loving care from someone who truly knows dogs.
Portland Pawz was created with one goal in mind: to give local dog parents peace of mind knowing their pups are safe, loved, and cared for like family.
Meet Portland Pawz
Hi, I’m so glad you’re here.
I was born and raised right here in Middletown, NJ, and dogs have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, my family fostered dogs, which gave me experience with pups of all different ages, personalities, comfort levels, and needs.
Today, I have two dogs of my own, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. Whether your dog is playful and energetic, shy and cautious, young and still learning, or older and needing a gentler pace, I care for each dog with patience, attention, and love.
Because I work from home, dogs in my care are not left alone for long stretches of time. They get consistent attention, companionship, bathroom breaks, playtime, and comfort throughout the day.
Why I Started Portland Pawz
Because leaving your dog with someone should feel easy, not stressful.
I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. Portland Pawz was built to offer a warm, reliable, and personal alternative to crowded or impersonal pet care options.
My approach is simple: keep dogs comfortable, follow their normal routines as closely as possible, communicate clearly with their owners, and make sure each pup feels safe, seen, and loved.
Comfort-focused care
Your dog’s routine, personality, and comfort level guide every visit or stay.
Consistent attention
Because I work from home, your pup gets regular care, companionship, and check-ins throughout the day.
Real dog experience
From fostering dogs growing up to caring for my own two pups, dogs have always been part of my everyday life.
Local and dependable
Portland Pawz is based in Middletown and built for local families who want trustworthy, nearby care.
My Care Philosophy
Safe, loving, routine-based care.
Every dog is different, and great care starts with understanding what makes your pup feel happy, calm, and secure.
Learn Their Routine
I take time to understand meals, walks, potty breaks, medications, sleeping preferences, and comfort needs.
Keep Them Comfortable
Care is built around making your dog feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.
Stay Connected
You can feel reassured knowing your dog is getting attention, companionship, and thoughtful care.
Treat Them Like Family
Your dog is cared for with the same patience, warmth, and attention I give my own pups.
