“Sandy did an amazing job of taking care of Cody. we will use her services any tme we take a vacation or are away. Toby had a great time, and it's really nice to be able to live your dog with someone that takes as good of care as we do. it means a lot. ”

“Evita is an amazing sitter!! I found her somewhat last minute, and she was nothing but incredible. My dog had a lovely time while I was away for work for a few days. She was attentive, made sure my dog had plenty of walks and playtime. She has a small dog, and my dog and hers got along so well! Definitely going to be using her all summer as my permanent sitter!”
“Rebecca is a gem! She kept my 6 yr old 35 lb dog at her sunny apartment for 2 nights. They went to the farmers market, on lots of walks, and hung out with her grandkids. She sent lots of pictures and I enjoyed chatting with her when I picked up my dog.”
“Noemi is awesome! She watched my super shy rat terrier buddy for two nights and was absolutely wonderful. She was so thoughtful with him, and it was clear she really cared about making him feel safe and comfortable. She kept me updated, was very reliable, and gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I came home to a happy, well cared for pup and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I have a decade of experience taking care of small to medium dogs. Have a lot of experience with senior animals and animals with disabilities and know how to handle and distribute medications if needed. I am currently on summer break from work as I am a Special Edcation paraeducator. I am somewhat of a homebody who loves to spend her time reading and taking walks outside. I tend to go to bed fairly early at night so that I'm up early to take care of my own fur baby. This tends to be the same when school is in session as well. As stated before I have a fur baby of my own. A cat named Phoebe who loves people and getting to know other animals. I love spending time with the animals I take care of whether its walk or play time. Bonding is very important to me. I want your fur babies to feel as safe and comfy as possible when they're with me. There's also nice parks nearby where I live so I can take them to play anytime the weather is nice.
“Christine and Steven were great hosts to our two small dogs. They provided lots of updates and have a beautiful house to host pets. We will definitely use them in the future.”
“Keelan and Sabrina took AMAZING care of my 1.5yr old doodle! Multiple daily walks, lots of playtime & snuggle time, and plenty of photo updates. Angus had such a fun staycation which allowed me to enjoy my vacation knowing he was in good hands. Don’t think twice about leaving your fur baby with Keelan & Sabrina - they will be our go-to sitters now!”
“Nad did an amazing job!! She messaged updates and lots of photos everyday!! I really appreciated everything she did for my pup. She is very quick and responding.”
“What an amazing individual and her little doggie, Zoe. Marybeth is super casual, interested, caring, and flexible. She understands pets and their importance. I loved her tree-lined neighborhood and the HUGE fenced backyard available for my little pupper to play. I've decided Marybeth's the one to trust with my little pup, Mia.”
“Our little senior doxie, Rocky, spent 2 weeks with Barbara and we couldn’t be more happy with how it went! Barbara gave him lots of love and cuddles, and they spent some time watching Dodger baseball together. Rocky can’t wait for the next time he can spend time with Barbara 😊”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Portland
Sarah has been beyond amazing with care for my dog, Vivienne. She’s great at updating you and sharing lovely pictures. I will book with her again due to her being so caring and supportive of my dog. Bonus points for Ellie. She’s such a friendly dog and has helped Vivienne to warm up.
I’m so glad I found Yaakov! My dog, Luka, was well taken care of for the 2 1/2 weeks I was gone. Yaakov has a great property were dogs are able to enjoy running and playing. The most impressive thing is that Yaakov did some training and Luka came back better behaved. I highly recommend Yaakov and will seek his expertise in the future for additional training and boarding when I leave for a trip.
Erika was very nice. We did a meet-and-greet, and she made sure she had all the information she needed to provide the best care for our Remy. She was very communicative and asked lots of questions. She took our Remy camping and provided excellent care. Although this was our first time boarding Remy, we learned so much, and Erika was able to offer recommendations for future boarding requests. Overall, I would recommend Erika to anyone needing care for their pet.
I was worried about boarding Olive as I’ve never done it before and I get nervous with new people watching her, but I stressed for nothing! Dahlia was great. She sent multiple photos and updates per day (which I really appreciated). Will be rebooking if needed again.
Highly recommend!!! I couldn't be happier with my experience! My dog, Mango, had the absolute best time. She went on so many fun adventures with Richard. I loved receiving daily updates along with amazing photos that showed how happy Mango was. Communication was excellent; I had complete peace of mind while I was away. Mango got so much love, attention, and exceptional care. I'm incredibly grateful and have already booked another adventurous stay! Thank you so much Richard!
Devon is the kind of person you want for a pet sitter. My dog, who can sometimes be a little anxious, was set at ease immediately by Devon’s relaxed energy. Devon was thoughtful, communicative and friendly, and gave our dog walks, snuggles and gave us just the updates we needed to feel confident that our pup was in good hands.

FAQs for Boarding - Portland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Portland on Rover is $48.15 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 2,358 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.
93% 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 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.
