“Sandra was great, she sent us plenty of pictures and made Flan and Ruger feel right at home. Not to mention she was very generously flexible with our drop off and pick up times after some flight confusions.”
“As a Rover myself, I'm discerning in choosing caregivers for my service animal, Angel. Samantha recently looked after Angel for the second time, and her care was outstanding. Her understanding and respect for the unique needs of Angel truly set her apart. Her genuine affection for animals is clear, and it's evident that Angel adores her. I highly recommend Samantha for any pet care needs due to her sense of responsibility and compassion. We definitely plan to use her services again!”
“Taylor and Liv were the best when it came to taking care of Atlas! They were very attentive, detail oriented, and made sure to update me daily on how Atlas was doing. They took him on plenty of walks and gave him lots of cuddles. I will absolutely be using them again in in the near future.”
“Winston had a great time with Nadkatan. He came back looking happy and healthy. He got lots of walks, love, and playtime. We received daily updates and pictures. Will definitely book again:)”
“Paul (and Arnel) took great care of Rosie and provided me daily updates of all their adventures! She was in great hands and he was an excellent communicator! Loved all the pictures and news of her daily life.”
“Amber provided excellent care. Otis had a great time! We wanted Otis to experience more socialization with other dogs and he had two days of fun and playing with Amber and her family. Her location is perfect for travel out of PDX.”
“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!”
“Serena was so sweet with Chewy and sent photos of him and Nugget on there walks and playing together. Great communication and responsiveness! We would definitely book again with Serena!”
“Vanessa was an incredible sitter to my Shiba Luffy, so much that he didn’t want to leave her side and would feel right at home in their home. Videos throughout the day, constant walks, even given treats from local vendors, Luffy probably wishes he was back for another weekend! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!”
“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.
“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.”
“Angus had another fantastic staycation with Sabrina & Keelan! They and their pups welcome Angus into their pack and spoil him with walks, snuggles, and playtime. So happy we found them!”
“Katherine took excellent care of my aging dog, and provided plenty of pictures and updates. She was very kind and responded quickly. Looking forward to booking again!”
“Christine and Steven were wonderful with our shy and anxious pup. Every picture we got of Bonnie we could tell that she was getting more and more comfortable and being cared for so well! We got regular updates so we were able to fully enjoy our time away without any worry for our dog. Will definitely book with Christine and Steven again!”
“Heather was an incredible host to my little dog Bubba! She treated him like he was her own. She was willing to meet us before booking and show me her place. Her apartment was meticulous and pet friendly. She communicated often and shared cute pictures and updates daily. She has an adorable dog and cat that my dog enjoyed hanging out with. I know Bubba loved his time with them because he keeps trying to walk us back to her building when I take him out.”
“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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Portland
Yaakov did an amazing job watching my dog, Bentley, over the 4th of July weekend on very short notice. From the start, he was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure Bentley had a great time. Throughout the stay, he kept me updated with photos and videos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. Bentley got plenty of exercise, socialization, and playtime with other dogs, and it was obvious from the updates that he was having a blast. What I appreciated most was Yaakov's attention to detail and experience with dogs. He took the time to share some observations and training recommendations that could help Bentley continue to improve, which I found incredibly helpful and thoughtful. I would absolutely trust Yaakov with Bentley again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable, knowledgeable, and caring dog sitter.
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.
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!

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.
