“Christle was wonderful with my 2 dogs! She kept them busy and happy during their stay. She sent pictures and updates throughout their stay and was always quick to respond. My dogs will be staying with her again in the future.”
“Ricky was excellent! He took care of my 85 pound Hound/ Husky. I always am a bit concerned when leaving my dog with someone but when I need to do it again, Ricky will be the first person I contact.”
“We truly appreciated Samarth's conscientiousness in watching our dog this past weekend. Our dog ended up not getting along well with his puppy and Samarth was very quick to notice this and careful about keeping the dogs separate for the weekend, while also making sure that our dog was well exercised and taken care of. This was a tricky situation - we felt bad that we were so far away and unable to help out and very appreciative of Samarth for his understanding.”
“My Sunny loves Stephanie. She takes care of Sunny as if Sunny were her own. She sends me updates and pictures and follows the instructions and routine I gave to her.”
“Christine was a wonderful sitter! She took very good care of our Vizsla, Arrow, and sent photos and text updates throughout his stay with her. We will definitely ask her to watch him again!”
“Melanie is amazing! She made us feel so comfortable with leaving our pup for the first time. Her level of communication was perfect and I think Shasta was genuinely sad to come home.”
“Great person!!! She took pictures while my dog was there. I was able to communicate with her without a problem. She let me know how my dog was doing. My dog seemed tk have had a blast. Thank you soo much for taking care of my tip.”
“Return customer here - Stephen is the only dog sitter we would ever use for our pup. He is reliable, responsive, and sends tons of photos while your pup is in his care. Thank you for everything Stephen”
“We are so grateful for the amazing care you gave our dog! From the very beginning, Careen were kind, reliable, and attentive to every detail. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our dog was in such loving hands. We could tell our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the stay. Thank you for treating our pet like family — we highly recommend your dog care service to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate!”

“Our dog Rocky loves staying with Kevin and Brian! He comes home tired and we never have to worry that he is safe and happy! He gets lots of love and we can relax that he is in good hands. We have used them many times and will continue to!”
“Gigi had a fabulous time staying with Ariel, as evidenced by the photos of her racing around with a few of her new best dog friends that Ariel sent us each day of our six-day trip. From her description of her property, Ariel's accommodations stood out, with its big, fenced backyard and in-the-house living for dog guests. Although leash walks were an additional option, we knew Gigi would want to run and play. She came fitter, sleeker, and a happy dog. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Jennifer is a great pet sitter. She did an outstanding job with my Nala. She was very responsive with my messages and sent many updates of Nala during her short stay. Nala had a great time and she always looked happy in the videos. We will definitely be back in the future. I totally recommend Jennifer.”
About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life and have been lucky enough to have a dog by my side for most of it. I’ve also cared for family and friends’ dogs over the years, as well as provided drop-in visits for cats. I truly enjoy caring for animals and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. I am home the majority of the day, giving your pet plenty of love, playtime, and frequent potty breaks, along with lots of cuddles, attention, and companionship throughout the day! I live in a ranch-style home with no stairs, making it easy and comfortable for your pup to get around. While I don’t have a fenced-in backyard, I have a large yard with a dog lead, and I’m happy to take your dog on walks as well. Dogs are welcome on the furniture, because I want them to feel right at home! 😊
“Tito had the best time staying with Khanh & Tommy! I received regular updates and pictures and he looked so happy being there. It made being away from him so much easier knowing he was being well taken care of and happy. Thank you!”
“It was our first time leaving our puppy Misha with a sitter for 2 nights, and we are so grateful to Catherina for her thoughtful care. She was very organized, responded promptly to my messages, and sent photos of Misha at home and during walks. She gave Misha his prescription medication on time, and he had fun playing with Catherina's puppies. We are so happy with Cat's great care, and highly recommend her.”
“If you need a pet sitter - Pauline is your girl!! I can’t thank her enough for hosting my two dogs in her home for the night. I received photos & an update within 30 minutes of dropping them off - & without having to check in myself - which I absolutely loved & appreciated. I then received updates all throughout the day which is exactly what I needed! She was VERY attentive to the dogs, asked about/followed their normal routine & updated me if she sensed anything was wrong or if the dogs seemed uncomfortable (one of them was exhibiting signs of an ear infection). I know my dogs were well taken care of and enjoyed their stay. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and we are so very grateful to Pauline!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Portland
Douglas and his dog Sunny took great care of my dog Chance. He followed all my instructions and had excellent communication. He even sent some nice photos that had me reassured Chance was doing okay. When I picked Chance up he was content, tired, and relaxed, all great signs.
Sherry took great care of our elderly dog while we were away this past week. She took the time to get to know our dog and help her feel comfortable. She sent us photos, videos, and updates that helped us feel reassured that our dog was having a great time. We would definitely recommend Sherry!
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!!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Portland on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 977 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Portland. About 92% of Portland sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
