“Always a great experience leaving our Golden with Emily! Great communication, updates and pictures throughout our trips. They treat him like one of the family. Couldn't ask for a better experience. Happy to have found someone close to home to make our travels a little less stressful.”
“Susan made me feel very comfortable leaving Cora with her. You can tell she is a true animal lover! She sent updates and pictures and Cora was well looked after. We’ll use her again!”
“Jackie is very sweet and kind. She took wonderful care of Luna for 10 days while we were away. She was very responsive to messages and sent pictures to show us how Luna was doing. I'll definitely call on Jackie again in the future.”
“Kasey could not have been a better sitter! She made me feel so at ease, taking over for me in a sticky situation! She was able to watch the pup last minute, making the transition seamless with plenty of videos to make me smile!!”
“Piper had a great time with Wendy and her family. We received pictures and Wendy was very accommodating when we needed to adjust our drop off and pick up times due to circumstances beyond our control. We will definitely book with Wendy again!”
“Sara was amazing! Really communicative and made everything so easy! Our dog loved the extra attention of having a whole family around seemed totally at ease. I would recommend Sara and John to anyone in the area!”
“Kristopher and his family are the absolute best. Our 6 year old Standard Bernedoodle had the 2 week vacation of a lifetime. Daily reassurances, updates and photos of our boy allowed us to fully lean into our own vacation. We saw him playing in Kristopher's fenced backyard-dog-dream park; sprawling on his new favorite sofa; being adventure walked around the farm; thoroughly enjoying skritches sessions; perfecting lazy afternoons watching the fam work and much more. Above and beyond: Kristopher happily administered twice daily pills to our dog. (Huge relief) Our biggest baby came home fluffy, soft, brushed and clean which is no small feat. Especially after all the outdoor fun. Pocket is one lucky dog who can't wait to return for another visit. And we are the most grateful dog parents!! Thank you, Kristopher and family!!!”
“My Dog, Buffy, stayed with Matt for a week. She is 14 years old and she's a nervous girl. Matt was so good with her! He was with her night and day. He fed her according to my instructions. She has very few teeth left. He has a sweet dog ,Memphis, who was very good with Buffy too. I would highly recommend Matt to take care of your pet!”
“Sydney and Luna had a great “summer vacation” of their own with Jason, Kristin and family while we were gone. We’re thankful for the regular updates, pictures, and videos and excellent care they received!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was young and have experience taking care of a variety of breeds. We have a safe, caring environment for pups that will make them feel like they are at home! My husband works from home during the week, and at least one of us is home on the weekends. We have flexible schedules that fit with a variety of pet care needs. We have a Shih Tzu, Woodson, that stays on our main floor with us most times. We do not have a fenced in yard, so we let him out on a leash. We live in a small neighborhood with little traffic. It is ideal for taking dogs on walks, and our neighbors either leash their dogs or have electric fences. Very safe!
“We are so happy with finding Jordan! Our lab looked so happy in all of the pics - we were afraid he wouldn’t want to come home! We will definitely be booking with Jordan again! He was super flexible and a great communicator. Highly recommend!”
“Victoria and Rishi and lovely attentive people who kept my little guy really safe and happy when I had to make a last minute trip out of town. I will definitely be booking with them again. Highly recommended!”
“Crystal is the first rover sitter that kept both of my 7 month old puppies. I really appreciate the care that she showed towards my babies and would highly recommend and will request her again if she is available 🥰”
“Damoan was super. I felt truly comfortable leaving my Frog with her and she was very accommodating with my travel plans which was awesome. I could tell Froggie felt very loved while he was in her hands. Great experience.”
“My dog Cooper was very relaxed and at home with Cheryl. I felt at ease with Cooper in her care with his special dietary needs and separation anxiety. I really appreciated how she accommodated my change in schedule due to unexpected travel delays. Definitely will rebook for future dog boarding.”
“Kim is a fantastic pet sitter who cares for my fur baby exceptionally well. She is friendly, trustworthy, and caring. This is already our third visit, and my dog has enjoyed his stay each time.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Portland on Rover is $64.2 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 296 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.
91% 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 MI 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.
