“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. ”
“I had a last minute trip come up and it was so great that Amy was able to accommodate my pups on shorter than usual notice. They have such a blast with her pugs!”
“Heather was absolutely incredible watching our dog, she went above and beyond! Great communication and care and she was even kind enough to buy him a cute bandana. Will definitely be booking again. Thank you again so much Heather!!!”
“Cheryl is the best! Our dogs quickly became besties and the daily updates with my dog smiling big was the exact reassurance that made me feel completely comfortable leaving our fur baby with her any time!”
“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!”
“Ron will be our go-to guy as long as he is willing to take our dog! Our dog is always so anxious before and after we leave. He was excited to run into Ron’s home and has been so relaxed ever since we picked him up.”
“Kristopher saved the day when our regular neighborhood dog sitter fell through. I had never used rover.com before, so I was shocked to even be able to find someone on such short notice. Less than a minute after I logged onto the website, Kristopher responded that yes, he was available. Talk about fast response time! Wow! He then sent beautiful, professional quality photos of our dog during the three day stay. He also made dropoff and pickup so easy. If we lived closer to his house, Kristopher would be our go-to dog sitter. Thank you for being so great, Kristopher!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of our lives. I grew up caring for animals by pet sitting dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small pets while having dogs in my home as well. My partner also grew up volunteering at local animal shelters and had dogs in the family as long as they can remember. We have experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, including puppies, seniors, and anxious dogs. Until recently, we cared for our senior dog with a slew of genetic health issues who has since passed and our current dog has ongoing eye care needs. Because of this, we are comfortable administering eye drops and ointments, oral medications, ear ointments, and we are happy to learn any medication routine your pet requires. Our current dog also came to us completely untrained and not housebroken, so we understand the patience and consistency it takes to help dogs learn new routines. We’re happy to continue potty training and reinforce positive habits while your puppy stays with us. Since we both work from home, your dog won’t be left along for long periods and will receive plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. Our current dog reads social cues very well and is great at helping new dogs feel comfortable. Above all, we treat every pet like they are part of the family. We know how important it is to trust someone with your best friend and we will make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Pet care is a part of our daily routine. We both work hybrid schedules, so someone is always home to provide supervision, companionship, and care. Our dog enjoys 3 walks a day, including 1 longer walk or outing. We are happy to adjust that routine to fit your pets needs. We’re also available most weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly home where dogs are treated like family. We live in an apartment at ground level with easy access to parks and potty areas. Because someone is always home, your dog will receive constant supervision, plenty of attention, and a consistent routine. Well follow your pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, medication routine, and any special instructions to help them feel safe and at home.
“Madeline is absolutely amazing. I would recommend her to anyone. My pup had so much fun, I was nervous leaving him with anyone, she communicated the entire time. Sent me photos and lets me know how my boy is doing. Will be booking for more than a week next time. House is amazing very well prepared for any dog she takes care of. I was very much at peace while on my vacation knowing my pup is in good hands.”

“Dahlia and Nicholas are top tier sitters. This is the second time they’ve watched Mavis, and I am so grateful for the love and care they show to her while I’m away. I highly recommend their service, and I will always ask them first when I need a sitter for my girl! Bonus Points: When I drop Mavis off her their house, I can tell she gets excited to see them again. Thank you thank you thank you!!”

I’m so glad we found Gabriela to dog sit for almost a week! She was so kind to meet with us beforehand and was very professional - she asked lots of questions and even agreed to do my boy’s extensive nighttime routine which was above and beyond. She sent me photos and updates which gave me peace of mind. He was so happy in the photos so he must’ve had a blast lol. Leo will be so happy to see her again in the future.
Mary was incredibly communicative and regularly gave me updates on how my dog was doing during the duration of his stay with her. It gave me a lot of comfort he was in very good hands. This was my dog's first stay with someone he didn't know ahead of time in quite a while, so I was a bit nervous but Mary made me feel better about it the entire time. Definitely recommend 100%.
We felt like Moose was in excellent hands with Nicole from start to finish! This was the longest time we’ve left Moose with someone else, and felt reassured she was in Nicole’s care. Her communication was wonderful from inquiry to pick up, she sent daily thorough updates, is clearly experienced with rescue dogs, and Moose was confident and happy in the company of her dog Lola. Would 100% recommend.
Naomi was fantastic with our sweet girl Coco 🩷🐶She was super responsive and extremely sweet in sending us lots of pictures of our sweet pup. We are so lucky we found her, she helped us so we could make a very necessary trip out of town. Thank you so much Naomi, Coco had a great time with you and your sweet girl Lola!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Portland on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,352 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.
