Essentially, the facility is roughly 25 minutes from PDX and accepts drop-off the morning of departure. Pet taxi service runs round-trip between PDX area neighborhoods and 5404 SE 72nd Ave for clients who would rather have their dog or cat picked up than driven over themselves.
Booking and First-Visit Process
Notably, first-time clients book a free welcome call or in-person Meet and Greet at outwoofbound.as.me. Mostly, the Meet and Greet covers a tour of the space, an honest discussion of fit. And a chance for the dog to sniff the facility. Specifically, for dogs new to daycare, an Assessment Day at $55 gives a certified trainer four hours to build a written behavior profile that determines which track fits best. Puppies four months and under can skip the formal Meet and Greet unless severe behavior concerns are present.
