“I boarded my doggies for the first time and was nervous, but Kristopher made it so easy . He was so kind and made me feel comfortable leaving my dogs with him . Knowing my pets were safe and in good care made my trip a lot easier . I would definitely leave my dogs in his care again. Thank you Kristopher 🤗”
“Marybeth was a great host! She communicated very well and provided daily updates/pictures. She was also very flexible with our travel plans. I’ll be keeping her top of mind for future boarding.”
“Kristina had great communication with many updates and pictures throughout the stay. She was quick to respond and flexible with drop-off / pick-up times. My dog seemed to be enjoying himself too! Will definitely keep her in mind for future trips.”
“Perla had a great time with lots of play! Elizabeth has a nice big home with lots of room to run around both inside and out. Her dog Lilo and Perla got along really well. We'll definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Catherine was amazing. I’ve never felt this confident leaving my pup with anyone before. She kept me updated with photos and videos and even comments as to her well-being.. 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.”
“Linda is the best with our funny and sensitive little dog! She sends us photos and updates daily, and seems to spoil her. We feel lucky and grateful for Linda!”
“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!”
“We are so sad to leave Nadine! Axel loves her and her crew and cannot recommend her enough to folks! Your animals will be loved on and taken care of. We will miss you so much!”
“Lisa was fantastic! They were so accommodating despite the last-minute request. Our boys looked happy and well cared for in every update we received. They had so much fun playing with their dog, Mateo. I highly recommend Lisa and her wonderful family!”
“Kathy is very friendly and knowledgeable. She and the rest of her family have excellent dog intuition and my pups were very comfortable staying with them. I appreciated the informative updates Kathy sent, especially since it was the dogs' first night with them. I will definitely be booking with Kathy again.”
“Grace is so reliable and has been there for me in my best and worst moments. My dog is so happy when she is with Grace and I absolutely love the photos and upsdates about her day. She sends messages to me during daycare while I’m at work just updating me on my pup and I love it. I can’t imagine someone else taking care of my dog and I strongly strongly recommend Grace for any type of animal care!! She keeps them comfortable and happy. Absolutely love being able to count on Grace! Thank you for everything :)”
“Maria was a perfect sitter for our pup; daily walks, lots of love and patience, photos sent to us daily. We will definitely book with Maria again if we are going to be away. I feel as though I've found a friend and I know our dog shares that view.”
“Absolutely wonderful care. Could not have asked for a better sitter for Milo. Jeannette kept me well informed on how he was doing along with great pictures. Milo had fun with her three dogs & the fenced in yard is safe and spacious for open-air recreation and romps. We’ll be back!”
“Chelsey was very nice and accommodating and great with our dog Winnie. Our pup seemed very happy when we picked her up and we got lots of pictures per request by Chelsey. I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter and will happily book in the future. Thanks again Chelsey!”
“From the moment we met, while we were on our trip, and on our way back, Dan communication greatly with us. Dan sent us updates of Mango while we were on our trip and it definitely gave us peace of mind. Additionally, Dan was great at working with us and our evening drop-off and pick-up times. Will keep him on the rolodex for next time. Great guy!”
“Our pups had such a great time with Taylor and Liv. We felt at ease knowing they were in great hands. They were comfortable with administering meds, managing their reactivity, and ensuring our pups were comfortable.”
“Laura has a heart of gold and it’s evident she has a huge place in her heart for dogs. I immediately felt comfortable leaving my pup with her. She kept in contact, sending me videos and pictures daily. She was very accommodating and even arranged for a later than expected pick-up & drop-off. Thank you so much Laura!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Milwaukie
We had a great experience! He communicated really well, was flexible with small changes to timing, and was so kind and understanding when our dog had a little nervous accident right when we arrived. We felt very comfortable leaving our girl in his care and would absolutely recommend him to others. Thank you for being so kind and accommodating! 😊
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.
Marybeth was amazing with my dog Wendy! My dog can be a little nervous with new people but I could tell from the pictures I received that she was having so much fun at Marybeth’s house. Marybeth was great at sending me updates and communicating. I would definitely recommend!
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!
Melanie and Jeremy took care of Una while we were in Portland, and this was our second time having her stay with them. They were easy to communicate with and Una was comfortable and settled when we picked her up. We appreciated knowing she was safe and cared for while we were away. Thank you both for taking care of Una!! ♥️
This was Sampson’s second time staying with Theresa and she was wonderful once again! She is great at sending pictures and updates throughout his stay and I feel so comfortable knowing he is in great hands with her. She is clearly such an animal lover and takes great care of him. Would recommend to anyone in the area looking for dog care!
Lauren did a wonderful job with taking care of Zoe. great communication and provided plenty of pictures to ensure us of Zoes wellbeing and comfort. i appreciated the suggestions of a meet and greet prior to commitment. when we picked our pup up after a 3 day stay, she was in good spirits. we would definitely reach out to Lauren again for our pet boarding needs. thank you
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.

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 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.
