âEvita has an incredible smile, and that was indicative of the care and affection she obviously showed my pup. Our dog returned home happy, well fed, and well exercised. Evita was very friendly, and extremely attentive. I will definitely request her as a sitter again. Thank you Evita!â
âSarah was a great sitter for my dog Rosie. Rosie was so excited to come back every morning for daycare, and Rosie and Ellie were fast friends. We will definitely book with Sarah again in the future!â
âSerena is great! I love that whenever I leave Theo in her care, I know heâs going to get nice and tired playing with Nugget, and I appreciate the updates I get throughout the day. 10/10 definitely recommend and we will keep coming to Serena!â
About: Hi there! As a fellow pet parent and Rover user, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. Iâm the proud mom of a 6 year old rescued German Shepherd and a 9 year old cat who even made an overseas move with me, so I understand just how much our pets mean to us. I'm a teacher with a deep love for animals and nature. I spend much of my time outdoors, going on walks and hikes with my pup, and Iâd be thrilled to have your pet(s) join in on the fun! Whether itâs outdoor adventures or cozy time at home, Iâll care for your pet(s) as if they were my own. This summer, Iâll have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to new clients. Iâd love the opportunity to meet you and your pet(s). I am working 8 am - 4:00 pm and have weekends and holidays off, which allows me the flexibility to take care of your pets' needs. Whether your pet enjoys snuggling on the couch or prefers to get some exercise, you can rest assured that they will receive plenty of attention, cuddles, and playtime! I am more than happy to take your dog for walks, hikes, to the dog park, or anywhere else you feel comfortable taking them. I'm excited to learn more about your furry friend(s)!
âDakota had such a great day with Tommy. From planning to drop off, during the stay and pick up, Tommy was incredibly communicative and clearly has a way with dogs. Would highly recommend. My pup loved him!â
âChris has been amazing with my dog Bailey! Sends great updates and Bailey is SO excited to see him and go on long walks. Definitely will be using Chris again!â
âMalory was generous enough to watch our dog at the last minute for daycare. Pepper was happy and well cared for. We will definitely lean on Malory again!â
âCatherine has been amazing with our little one and we couldnât be happier with the services she provides. Sheâs quick to respond and provides updates throughout the day. We have used her for doggie daycare that has been both short (3h) and long (13h) and have already booked future stays with her.â
âLeah was able to accommodate me last minute when I visited Portland and needed a place for my dog to be for a few hours between hotels. She gave me frequent updates and it felt like I had left Beau with an old friend. Will definitely keep her in mind next time I visit!!â
âKris helped us out last minute to take care of our two doggos who were out of their routine and did not love being in a hotel. They played. He kept them cool during the heat wave. He sent pics of two very happy doggos and they were so tired and happy when we picked them up. Thanks so much!â
âI have nothing but positive things to say about Emiline! I was very nervous to have someone else looking after my dog, but was immediately reassured at drop-off. Emiline took amazing care of my dog, sent a ton of updates throughout the day, and just went above and beyond in making my dog feel safe and secure. I highly recommend her!â
âDanielle was great with Mango and she sent regular updates throughout the day. She made sure Mango felt comfortable throughout her stay. She was also very good a communicating when planning drop off and pick up times. Highly recommend Danielle.â
âBarbara took great care of our dog! She took him for multiple walks and sent pictures. Kai was a happy boy when we picked him up and very relaxed. Great communication! Thank you! Cathyâ
âEmily is the best! She took great care of my fur baby with updates and was even super patient with the nervous barking she does when meeting someone new. I really recommend her for great care, where you know there wonât be any worries. My dachshund usually doesnât eat dinner when meeting someone new or walk well on a leash but she ate her dinner and was walking happily & even napped.â
âStorm takes a bit of time to get comfortable in new environments with new people, but she seemed to settle in easily with Gil and Peaches! We are so thankful they are patient with her separation anxiety and welcome her on daycare days!â

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Portland
Daisy is phenomenal, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She took exceptional care of my puppy, and I received detailed updates about all the fun she was having. I feel so relieved that I have someone responsible, nurturing, and reliable to care for my puppy when I need to be away.
Buddha had such a great time with Hayley and her family! He loves kids and an outing so he was happy going on family walks and to go get ice cream with everyone! Hayley was great about sending pics and keeping me updated. Super sweet family! Will def be booking again!
These past few months have been an amazing experience for Kate! She is kind and does a wonderful job taking care of our puppy Levi. Prior to Kate we faced a difficult experience with another sitter and were a bit worried when searching for a new sitter. We stumbled upon Kate and had a beautiful experience from then on. It was an honor to have her sit Levi and we will forever be grateful! đ Thank you so, so, so much Kate!!
This was the second time I used Alayna for Brooke's daycare. Both times she was great. A prompt communicator, she made sure to reach out with questions during Brooke's stay, sent me a cute photo of her, and I returned to a happy hound. I would definitely recommend Alayna!
I had to book with Emma in a very short time noticed due of a previous situation with another doggy day care person in Rover. I was very thankful and appreciative with Acadia and Emma for accepting my request and helping take care of my Gambit after explaining what has happened with my situation. I would totally 100 percent recommend them. Gambit instantly felt very comfortable with Acadia and their dog and they were keeping me updated about Gambit consistently. Thank you so much Acadia and Emma for taking care of my baby. Would definitely keep you in mind for next time.
Leah did a great job watching our little Bailey. She sent pictures to us to help ease our nerves for leaving him. He was taken well-cared for. We definitely will rebook with her if we are ever back in Portland. Thank you Leah for taking such good care of our Bailey.
My puppy is obsessed with Laura and has such a fun time at their house. Laura and Nicholas are an excellent dog sitting team, so lovely to work with and provide great updates throughout the day. I feel very lucky to have found such a great match for my puppyâs needs!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Portland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Portland on Rover is $36.63 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,807 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Portland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your petâwhether thatâs early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Portland commute.
If your schedule changes, itâs best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dogâs fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0â7 kilograms and/or 7â18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pupâs socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dogâs pack, check the sitterâs profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs 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, youâre adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 Justiceâs 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Roverâs 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,807 sitters in Portland, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
