“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.”
“Noemi and her family were very sweet and patient with our first time boarder. She sent updates and pictures showing our dog acclimating to their home and their own dog. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Evita was AMAZING! I would 10/10 recommend her to watch your fur baby. She sent us lots of picture updates while we were on vacay which was so sweet :’) And I could tell our little guy was well taken care of. Thanks again!”
“Briana again was great! Roxy is clearly very comfortable around her and her two dogs. Briana sends photo and text updates daily and treats Roxy like her own. Will be using her again!”
“Thanks for providing such great care for Chewie! I loved the photo updates. We were really able to enjoy our time away, knowing he was in good hands. Such loving and competent care! We will be back.”
“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.”
“Our two Goldens were well cared for at Angelica’s home. She was responsible and a good communicator. I appreciated that she was home during the day and seemed to be a natural with animals. I felt very comfortable with the whole experience and would not hesitate using Angelica again.”
“Vanessa was wonderfully communicative and considerate, and both of her pets seemed like absolute sweethearts too! I’m so grateful to have trusted her with my dog Dagger’s care, and would be relieved to do so again if I’m ever in the area in the future and need to!”
“Appreciated the superb communication, especially getting pictures of my happy pup, but all along every step of the way. This was the first time I left my dog overnight, and Kristopher made it a comfortable experience for me.”
“Dahlia cared so well for Dezzie. I got regular updates and my dog looked so happy in her care. She followed my instructions for Dezzie’s care. Lovely home, kind people, flexible.”
“Ron is great with Mima! She is a senior and isn't usually very comfortable staying away from me but every time I take her to Ron's house she walks in without looking back! Leaving her with Ron gives me peace and everytime I pick her up she is happy. :) Whenever we need boarding for Mima, Ron is right at the top of our list! Thank you so much, Ron!!”
“Madeline took great care of our dog, Odi. She was flexible with her schedule when we needed to shift by 1 day and super communicative with whatever requests or questions we had. I would trust her to watch Odi anytime.”
“Christine and Steven took such good care of our dog while we were away. We were out of town on our honeymoon and didn’t have any stress about whether or not he was in good hands. We got daily photos and brief updates that made a huge difference. We will definitely be using them again!”
“10 out of 10 would recommend she is a great dog sitter always kept me informed. And even put up with my dog stinky farts lol if you had to choose a sitter, I would put all your money into Brittany. Very cool person very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs and very friendly can’t wait to book with her again.”
“Veronica was great with our two dogs. She has a calming manner and our nervous border collie when away from home appeared totally at ease in the sweet photos that she sent us. And I’m sure our husky enjoyed playing with her huskies. They all made a good pack. 😊”
“We are EXTREMELY grateful to Amy. She has become our sweet doggie's second mom while we've needed to be out of town for a couple months. Buki LOVES going to her house. He lights up when he sees her. Our only worry has been that Buki will be remiss about coming home, LOL. We love Amy and feel so lucky we found her. As an added bonus she owns two of the cutest, snorty-est little bundles of pug babies that you get the pleasure of adoring when you drop your dog off. ”
“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.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Portland is $50
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Portland
Richard is a gem. I've had a couple of bad experiences with Rover sitters before, so I'm pretty picky about who I hire. But after our meet 'n greet, I felt really good about leaving my dog with him. He's a professional trainer so he really understands dog behavior, and he's just a genuinely kind, compassionate person. I could tell my dog would be safe and happy with him. He was great about sending updates during the stay, and his photos are beautiful too. I've already re-booked him
Hayley and Kyle were AMAZING caretakers for Alma while I was traveling due to a family emergency. It was so nice and comforting to know Alma was in such good care and I could stay focused on being with my family. They sent photos of Alma on walks and getting cuddles in bed - some of her favorite activities! Alma almost seemed hesitant to leave their house when I picked her up 😂. I am grateful to have found them and would absolutely book again!
Taylor was absolutely wonderful! I have a leash reactive dog and am also a nervous nellie when it comes to being away from him but felt very at ease when he stayed with Taylor! Received regular updates, photos and all the info I needed to lessen the worry! Bear seemed to have a blast and you can tell Taylor really seems to care about animals ❤️. Will be using again in future!
Dan is a great communicator. We made a last minute booking due to a family emergency and appreciated his prompt replies. We received some adorable pictures of our pup during our time away. Our dog seemed happy to see us, but not over joyed to return home. She had a couple long look backs going down the front walk to head home with us. Would definitely book again.
Em was wonderful! She was super responsive and easy to coordinate with, especially with my last minute request. I felt really comfortable leaving my girl with her, and loved getting the cute updates and photos throughout her stay. I would absolutely recommend Em and will definitely be reaching out to her again!

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.
93% 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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
