“Stan was amazing! He is extremely fast at responding and he provided wonderful regular updates and photos while we were away. His place is literally Dog Heaven. It is so well organized and perfectly suitable for dogs to play, socialize, and have fun. Our doggies immediately took to the place and started sniffing around happily as soon as they met Stan. When we picked them up, they were pooped from all the fun and treats they had.”

“Marybeth and family took good care of our dog Toby for a week. I believe Toby had as good a vacation as we did! He got to play with Zoey and keep an eye on the cats. He spent time relaxing on the back deck watching the chickens. Working out the details with Marybeth was easy and she's quick to respond. She's obviously good with animals.”

This was our second time boarding our little diva Lola with Bridgette and as amazing as Bridgette and her family crew were the first time, they doubled down and Lola was so well cared for, Bridgette put up with her fussy food habit and the medication consequences of that as well as bathing her and letting her sleep in their bed because that's her happy place. Can\t say enough about how wonderful Bridgette and the crew (Hubby and two dogs) are. It's Lola's home away from home. Thank you guys!

Rob maintains a calm presence and healthy environment for pets- really appreciated his communication, kindness to animals and general demeanor. His back yard is fenced and safe for dogs and he’s a short distance from the springwater corridor trail for walks. Looking forward to having my pups stay with him again.

Can’t say enough good things! Dominique and her partner took excellent care of my dog Charlie, who was diagnosed with diabetes this year. They were able to manage, checking his blood sugars periodically, and administer sugar when he was running slightly low one day. They sent loads of photo updates and check-ins that made me feel reassured that he was in great hands would definitely use them again!!

Sharmista took wonderful care of my dog, Kaisa. She was kind, communicative, and sent regular photo updates throughout the stay, which really helped ease our anxiety while we were away. When I picked Kaisa up, she nuzzled into Sharmista as if she didn't want to leave, which told me everything I needed to know about how comfortable and loved she felt. I would happily trust Sharmista with Kaisa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring dog sitter.

This is the second time Richard has watched Bug and Ollie. He takes wonderful care of them and they are very happy there. One of my dogs is a nervous, older dog with a big bark and Richard is great with him and Bug adores Richard. It is so reassuring knowing they'll be in a safe, loving environment while I am out of town.

Kena is a kind, experienced sitter and dog trainer. My dog has behavioral issues and anxiety, and Kena knew how to handle tense moments and help him feel safe. She was communicative with updates throughout the stay, and I really appreciated her giving my dog a chance. Her own dogs are well-trained, sweet, and great companions. Highly recommend!

Egle was a great communicator in regards to my dog's well being. Being that this was the first time for my elder dog to be with a pet sitter, Egle dealt with the "home sick" situation/whining and kept me informed. Her communications with me during the at home stay with my dog was awesome. I'd definitely feel comfortable having Egle look after my pet again. Thank you so much Egle.

Jenny was wonderful with our two dogs! She took great care of them making sure they had lots of activity and love! They came home completely exhausted and very happy. Jenny was able to accommodate their needs with their specialty food and medication, and even reached out to ensure they were doing well the next day after I brought them home. I will definitely reach out to Jenny again in the future!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Happy Valley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Happy Valley is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $60 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 2,378 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Happy Valley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

94% of sitters in Happy Valley can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Happy Valley home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Happy Valley.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Happy Valley. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

You and your Happy Valley sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in OR ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
