She was kind and patient with my very nervous puppy. I’m so grateful I was able to utilize her services at such short notice and over a holiday. She is truly the best I’ve ever encountered.”

“Emily was wonderful! She did a meet-up prior to our pup’s stay to ask questions and become familiar with our senior dog. She provided pictures throughout the stay and even trimmed my pup’s nails because she is a trained vet tech, and it’s been so difficult for me to get her in for an appointment. I would definitely recommend Emily because I will be rebooking her again for my next vacation!”

Our long time dog sitter retired so we had to find a new one. Thankfully we found Linda. She did a great job taking care of our dog while we where out of town. She sent pictures every day and we could see he was safe and having a good time. We could not be happier with how she cared for Benji.

Chelsea and her husband were amazing. We left our 9 year old black lab with them for three nights while we were out of town and we could not have been more comforted that he was in good hands. Chelsea sent several photos and messages and was an amazing communicator. They are obviously big dog lovers and our dog clearly loved being at their house. Highly recommend!

Very responsive and helpful. We needed a sitter on short notice to house our dogs overnight so we could attend a concert we came to Portland for. Laura was quick to respond, easy to work with. Laura has a great set up. Tall, private fence for the back yard. She was very caring and attentive to the pups. Sent us some great pictures in the evening and morning. We are so grateful for getting a night out together. If/when we come back through Portland, we will look up Laura again.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Milwaukie

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Milwaukie is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $72 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 October 2026, there are 2,349 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Milwaukie. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Milwaukie 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 Milwaukie home-away-from-home, 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 Milwaukie.

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.

You and your Milwaukie 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 , 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 .

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.
