“Aunty Sandy is amazing! Dakota had such a great time with all of the dogs that were there for the overnight stay. Sandy gave us the confidence that Dakota would be well taken care of and it was definitely that way. Her home is warm, welcoming and very dog friendly. At that point, I had not had our dog in another environment, b/c we had adopted her, and Sandy reassured me that she would do everything to make sure Dakota had a great time. Since then, we've been able to socialize Dakota and have confidence that she'll enjoy staying with Sandy and being taken care of and being around other dogs.”
“He was able to come to my rescue when I was on a trip and ended up in the hospital. He kept me updated and provided a lot of pictures. I would definitely recommend him to everyone!!”
“Noemi was very proactive and communicative with me about Elroy over the days she was with her! We got lots of photos and felt like Elroy was well cared for 💖 Thank you Noemi!”
“Evita is a great pet sitter! She is very responsive, flexible, and proactive in letting you know your pet is being well taken care of. I couldn’t recommend her more, and hope she is available the next time I need to go out of town!”
“We love leaving our pup with Paul and we know she loves it too! Everyone seems to have a great time, and we never have a worry! Lots of great photos, and very responsive too!”
“Despite lots of flight delays, Katherine was so kind to continue to watch my Lucy until I returned home. She even shared some of her pups dog food when ours ran out. Very grateful for this kind of compassionate pup care.”
“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.”
“Haley did a wonderful job watching Pixie for the weekend, and was understanding of her little quirks, like how she’s still isn’t fully used to eating kibble! Thank you so much!”
“Heather took so good care of Honey. She slept with her while she was freaking out because of firework. She even made food for her that made this picky puppy finished her meal every time. When it's too hot outside, she didn’t risk to take them out, but took them out in the early morning, I really appreciate that! She is the greatest dog mom!”
“Peanut had another great stay with Taylor and Liv! She's able to fully relax with them and enjoys spending time with them. It's such a relief to know she's with people who genuinely care about her and enjoy her company.”
“Christine and Steve are wonderful! They seem very knowledgeable about dogs, especially rescues. Jamie settled in very quickly and made new friends. I would use them again anytime. Really great experience! Thanks very much”
“Lajetta was so great. She is responsive, organized and really loves dogs. She took such good care of Yuzu and was very accommodating and patient with me when I had flight delays. I would happily leave Yuzu with her and her granddaughter anytime!”
“100% would book with Jake again. Communication was quick and easy, sent us great photos of our pup and his pup making friends, and our pup came home tired and happy.”
“Linda was so accommodating and friendly, I felt at ease with them right away! They were so kind to take photos of our little dog Murphy which once we got back into cell reception it was a delight to see he had his own very fun vacation! Thanks so much Linda, you’re our first contact for our next time away!”
“Wonderful sitters! They sent me so many sweet pics and videos of my pup and I knew I didn’t have to worry about him while in their care. 10/10 will book again”
“Sarah was wonderful, and I would absolutely book with her again. She took great care of my dog, Gummi, and he got along so well with her Pomeranian, Ellie. I really appreciated the frequent updates and photos because they gave me so much peace of mind knowing Gummi was happy, having fun, and being so well cared for. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter!”
“Amber and her family took excellent care of our dog Dobby! He was obviously very comfortable and received a lot of love and attention while there. The photo and video updates gave us a lot of confidence to relax, knowing he was in great hands and having his own vacation!”
“I was very excited to find Rosemary, after my original Rover sitter cancelled on me. We did a Meet and Greet beforehand, and Rosemary was so warm and friendly. I immediately felt at ease, and assured that the dogs would be in good hands. From beginning to end, Rosemary was very communicative, responded quickly, and followed up when she said she would. She sent updates and pics of how the dogs were doing during their stay. Rosemary understood the needs of our dogs. We will definitely use Rosemary in the future. She is a breath of fresh air, and a great sitter!”
“Tammy was ideal as a caregiver for our elderly cockapoo. She provided reassurance with her communication and we were confident that our dog was receiving loving attention at all times. Thank you Tammy for being so wonderful with Milo!”

Emiline was amazing! Before the sit, Emiline was very responsive and easy to coordinate with. Just a few minutes into the meet and greet, I could tell Boutros was comfortable with her. Once the sit started, I got SO MANY updates (which I love). I never wondered how he was doing, as the updates were informative and clearly showed him having a good time. She was very thoughtful about B’s paws and overall comfort during the hot weather. I came back to a clean house and happy pup. I highly recommend Emiline and hope she’ll be available for future sits!
Zack was fantastic with Badger. He was available within two weeks of my trip when another sitter fell through. We booked a two week boarding with him for my chihuahua mix. He had a great experience and came home very happy. Zack was great about sending photo and text updates, as well as reaching out with any questions. It seemed like my dog played well with his while they stayed together. I was very happy with my experience boarding with Zack and will absolutely consider using him again in the future. Thanks!
I was very pleased with Fin who kept me updated about Blackjack. He had a couple of issues that concerned Fin regarding his digestive system. I reassured her that sometimes he does have challenges. He was fine the first seven days so likely stressed with the number of days he was at Fin’s home. Fin sent a number of photos that showed Blackjack was totally enjoying himself! I highly recommend Fin as a Dogsitter. Her backyard is a great place for dogs to hang out as is her home. I was impressed by the fact that she walked the dogs twice a day and also only takes one dog at a time.! Fin works from home so Blackjack got constant attention!
Wolf did such a great job with Penny. I hate being apart from her but it was reassuring to know all of the adventures they were going on and really sweet to see how comfortable she was. He is going to be my first choice the next time I need a babysitter for Penny!
Kimo took great care of our pup. He sent daily updates with pictures. He also took the time to meet us in advance to get to know our dog and for us to get to know him before we booked a reservation with him. Our girl seems happy and cared for. Would recommend Kimo.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Portland on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,322 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.
