EC Petcare: Positive Reinforcement Dog Boarding for Portland, OR Families
Need a Safe & Reliable Boarding Option?
When you need to be away, your dog deserves more than just a kennel—they deserve comfort, enrichment, and personalized care in a calm, home-like setting.
At EC Petcare, we offer private, one-household-at-a-time boarding designed for dogs who thrive in quiet environments. Care is provided by owner and certified dog trainer Ellaree Cobb, along with a additional availability with Alex, who brings years of experience in rescue and shelter care. Both offer boarding in their own homes, ensuring each pup receives personalized attention without unfamiliar dogs around.
Whether you have a senior, puppy, or dog-reactive dog, our boarding provides the individualized attention they need while giving you peace of mind.
