“Brianna's profile met all what we desired in a sitter; location, a family, large fenced yard, has always worked from home and years of experience with dogs. Once we had our meet-and-greet, there was no doubt, Brianna was a good choice for both of us.”
“My little dogs ADORE Victoria and Rishi. I trave for work and I am so glad to know that my little buddies have a loving place to stay while I need to be away. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”
“My dog has stayed with Anthony twice now and always has a great time. Anthony is great about sending pictures and updates. The most recent time my dog stayed with him, I had an emergency that kept me from getting my dog on the scheduled day, but Anthony was kind enough to extend his stay!”
“Thank you Kristopher, Lisa and family! Bear had a great stay there and I had a lot of peace of mind with the pictures and updates! We will certainly be back if you’ll have him again. Thank you,”
“We boarded Lily with Kasey when she she a 1 year old rambunctious puppy and we were so happy with her care. Now, post Covid we were lucky Kasey was available once again. Lily is now a 5 year old and a lot calmer. We were gone for 10days and Lily fit in well with Gracie and Dilly (kasey’s dogs) we didn’t have a worry leaving Lily and are grateful for Kasey. She is a gem! Thanks Kasey!”
“Jacqueline did a wonderful job taking care of my dog. She provided regular updates with photos and videos of his stay. I was pleased to know he was in safe hands and being cared for. Will use Jacqueline’s services again.”
“Jordan’s communication was top notch!!! Jordan was very attentive to my concerns and was flexible with our pick up/drop off schedule. Most importantly, I felt like Willard was in good hands for the short time we were away. Jordan sent texts and pictures of Willard and kept us updated throughout the stay. Jordan is great!! Highly recommended sitter!”
“Sara and John were a great fit for my two high energy dogs. Their entire family loved having the dogs around and spent alot of time out doors or snuggled up. They were very communicative throught the entire stay as well and I received loads of pictures of my happy girls.”
“Melissa is awesome. She paid very close attention to my dog Tulu and they bonded quickly. Melissa sent pictures every day sometimes twice a day with nice comments. I recommend her highly and I won’t hesitate to book her again.”
“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!”

“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 🥰”
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! We are available for boarding on the weekends, and can watch dogs during the week, but will not be home from 8-3. We have safe spaces for pups to relax during the day. 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!
“Todd was great with our springer spaniel Lucy. He responded quickly when we booked and after we dropped Lucy off. He loves dogs and it shows. Thank you Todd, we appreciate you.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Matt! He was incredible with our two boys, so communicative, and made sure they got ample time outside and on trails! Very happy we found him!”

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.
