“Our pups had such a great time with Taylor and Liv. We felt at ease knowing they were in great hands. They were comfortable with administering meds, managing their reactivity, and ensuring our pups were comfortable.”

About: Hello! And thank you for considering me to look after your pets. I’ve always had a close, confident connection with animals. I grew up in Oregon with 2 cats, 2 dogs & a horse. With a busy home I naturally took responsibility for our pets. Throughout my adult life I have been the go to friend to pet sit, as it is a natural task I enjoy. In my mid 20s I rescued an older lab mix. A few years later I adopted a tuxedo cat. I look forward to hearing from and hopefully working with you & your pets. Currently I work Wed - Sun days, but available after 5 pm and l am off Mondays and Tuesdays, so available all day and night. I have an apartment that accepts small dogs so I can host them. At your place I am very considerate, clean, and respectful of your things. I always remember to lock up before I leave!
“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.”
“My dog had an awesome time with Brittany and I would definitely seek her services out again. I have a German Shepard/cattle dog mix so she needs a lot of attention and playtime and Brittany handled her perfectly. She’s very communicative throughout the entire process.”
“My dog enjoyed staying at Christoper’s. She gets along with very well with his friendly dogs, Bear and Cosmo, had fun everyday while her stay. It felt nice to see my dog is having a great time while my trip. Specially he offers low head counts environments, with good attentions and cares, felt comforted. Appreciate he was very responsive from booking to pick up.”
“Angelica was so great! She really has it all with the large fenced in yard, working from home, and a comfortable dog friendly indoor space as well! We needed last minute boarding and were nervous to try Rover, but Angelica was SO flexible and easy to work with. We are so glad we tried it out, and Chief will definitely be returning back to Angelica’s when we need. Chief stayed for a whole week and we received great updates, photos, and communication. We even had issues with our travels that resulted in moving back our pick up time, Angelica was so kind about it and made it no problem at all. Highly recommend her, your dog will be in great hands and have so much fun!”
“Pepper took to Lisa right away, and came back relaxed and happy after her time at Lisa’s place. This is not typical for our usually high-strung, anxious pup!”
“Mallisha was the perfect sitter for my dog Boba. She sent updates with pictures, and I could tell the walks and parks she took my dog Boba to made Boba happy. Would highly recommend Mallisha to anyone who needs a trustworthy sitter.”
“Dan was excellent with my dog Emma. I dropped her off for a 5 day stay. I got a daily text with a picture letting me know Emma was doing well! Dan was very responsive and easy to work with on the drop off and pick up time too. I look forward to use Dan as a sitter again!”
“Jamie and Nicole were the perfect hosts for my sweet Ralph. He was the only pet in their care and got all the love and attention he is used to getting at home. I received sweet updates and pictures everyday. I highly recommend them to care for your pampered pet.”
“Kellie is absolute best - everything went smoothly from meet and greet until drop off. She was so accommodating and sent me daily pictures of my dog. I highly recommend!”
“Sharon is amazing. She sent me pictures everyday. Clara is a 8 pound Havanese and very spoiled. Sharon is a a new trusting friend if Clara’s. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you Sharon for loving our little girl.???”
“Violet had a great time staying with Shannon and Matthew! She was so happy to hang out in their home and came home full of joy and ready to nap!”
“We boarded our dog with Christopher when we were out of town for the night & returned to a happy, well exercised dog. Definitely would use Christophers services again!”
“Obi absolutely LOVED his time with Alicia! Alicia was fantastic - she was flexible with my unpredictable work schedule, took my pup out on a ton of walks/adventures, and sent photos and updates during my time away. I’ll definitely plan to board my boy with her again and Obi is already looking forward it!”
“Stan provided great care for my two dogs one of which is senior and needs extra TLC. They came home happy, healthy and tired. If you are looking for a caring home away from home environment, I would recommend Stan.”

Sandra took such great care of Wallis! She sent regular updates and let me know that Wallis was fitting in well with the other small dogs ❤️ Sandra was very easy to communicate with for drop off and was flexible when my pickup plans unexpectedly changed. Thank you so much!!!
My puppy had the best stay with Richard. He watched my puppy while I was out of town and did a wonderful job. Puppies are not easy with all that energy, but he took him on hikes and took perfect care of him. I came home to a happy, tired puppy. I feel so lucky to have found him.
Jung took such great care and consideration of my senior pup, i swore he wasn't going to want to come back with me. incredibly thoughtful, discerning, and kind, in one weekend Jung has become my pup's favorite person, and as an owner, it is comforting to know he's thriving when he is with her.
Jack and his partner watched both my dog and cat at their house and I could not be happier with the experience! 10/10 would recommend booking him. Jack is very kind and professional. I got lots of picture updates, he took my dog on lots of very fun adventures, and my cat seemed super happy with the calm and clean house. Will definitely book again whenever I’m back in the area. Thank you Jack!
Addy is incredible. As someone who is very anxious about leaving my dogs, she made me feel so comfortable and at ease. She sent lots of updates & pictures, and was patient with changing pick up times/lateness. I couldn’t recommend her more to watch your dogs and I’ll definitely only be using her when I’m back in the area!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Portland is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $74 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Portland can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Portland home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
