“Laura was so wonderful! She made our family and our pup so comfortable and sent pictures and updates throughout our trip. We were so happy knowing that our dog got to be part of Laura’s family while we were away. We’d highly recommend Laura!”


“Maria was an angel ?! She helped me with my baby Callie(who's really 9) while I worked back to back 12 hour shifts and my Mom was in the hospital. Mom's Callie Mama2 and is usually with her when I work. I can't say enough wonderful things about Maria and her care of my Callie. I would definitely recommend Maria to care for your beloved pet. Thank you to Maria and her family from me and Callie.”

“Maggie was great, she was super flexible and understanding! I’ve never left my dog with anyone before but I felt so at ease with Maggie’s updates and the friendliness of both her & her dog Moose with my boy Cody! Definitely recommend and will book with her again if needed in the future.”


“Alan & Luis are always great with Tyson. They welcome him into their home like he was part of their family. They are flexible and I always feel confident Tyson is getting the best care when we are away.”

“Jennifer and Inam were such great caretakers! I had a last minute trip for work and they were so flexible and accommodating on very short notice. I interacted mostly with Jennifer and I could tell how much love and care she pours into all the dogs. My pup was so sad to see her leave when it was time to go! Thank you for taking such great care of Olivia!!”
“Christle took great care of Peabody! At the meet and greet, she gave lots of information and answered all of my questions- I felt so comfortable leaving Peabody with her! Peabody and her dogs got along very well and had a great time playing together. When I picked Peabody up, he was so relaxed and happy. It was obvious that Christle took great care of him. Needless to say, I will be going to Christle again for any of Peabody’s boarding needs.”

“Cassandra did an amazing job caring for our 4 year old English bulldog for 8 days. Our bulldog is quite stubborn with several medical conditions and she administered all medications and went above and beyond so we can travel without him for the first time in 4 years. Cassandra sent us daily updates and was very quick to respond to us and helped put our minds at ease while away.”

“I can’t say enough good things about leaving my pup with Aileen! I’m very nervous about leaving her because she’s a rescue with a bunch of quirks, but it was immediately clear that she was in capable hands. Everything went smoothly and I received lots of lovely pictures and videos and came back to a happy, healthy dog.”

“Rumi was great! From the moment I arrived she was so sweet and I could tell I had found the right place to leave my little guy. She has a large fenced in yard that my pup was able to run in safely. I received lots of picture and video updates through out the day and he always looked like he was smiling 😊. Every vitamin and food regimen were followed to a T. Rumi will definitely be our go to! This was my first experience with Rover, but I will definitely not be looking elsewhere. Thank you so much Rumi, you made Sky's stay so joyous and peaceful!”

“Lennox came home happy and exhausted. A good sign she had a great time with Wendy and her new friends! I appreciated how quick Wendy was to respond and the great care she gave our pup!”

“We’ve had Kristin watch our dogs every time we go away for two years and would never book with anyone else. She is amazing. Takes amazing care of them, sends photos and updates and is great at communication and flexibility. I could not recommend her more.”

“Janelle is a wonderful pet sitter! She provides a safe and loving home for our pup when we travel! She sends pics and updates and gives us the peace of mind that our boy is in great hands!! Highly recommended!!”

I'd highly recommend Kimberly and Victor as they were awesome w/ my stubborn Frenchie, Casper! I got daily updates w/ photos and videos which was great. They were super patient with him and went above and beyond by adjusting their routines to make him feel comfortable. Casper came home happy!!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Portland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Portland on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 964 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Portland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
97% of Portland sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Portland landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Portland 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 Portland.
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 Portland 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 CT 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.
