“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!!”
About: I’m a work from home PhD student with one dog and one cat. I’d love to board or day care your doggo. I will be home with your dog for their entire stay. I’ll treat your dog as my own: giving them frequent potty breaks, a daily long walk, and lots of scritches. My Pom Ellie would love to have a friend who visits! I have several rooms and can separate your dog for meals, if needed. My dog is very much a food-hunter so our home is kept safe from doggies getting in to anything not meant for them. I only sit one dog at a time. You’ll get lots of photos and updates! 🤍 I run a business that is fully online from my home, and I am also a PhD student. So, I am always home and will be with your dog unless I have to run an errand. We take one longer walk per day and have many potty breaks otherwise (every 2-4 hours). Meals will happen on the schedule you describe. I have a Pomeranian here but she can be separated if your dog has special eating needs. Dogs are welcome on all furniture and in bed. Lots of toys around and my Pom will be so happy to have a friend to play with.
“My pup had a wonderful stay with Amy B and I was able to fully enjoy my time away knowing that my little buddy was in good hands! Her house and yard and perfectly fit for a comfortable stay, and her two adorable dogs and wonderful family gave my little guy tons of attention. She even let my pup sleep in bed with her, since that is what he is used to with me. Amy kept me updated daily and even sent me photos! I highly recommend Amy for anyone who is looking for a home-away-from-home for their pet. I will absolutely be booking with Amy for every trip & overnight stay from now on, so happy that I found her!”
“Lajetta is an exceptional caretaker. She is intuitive, warm, thoughtful and communicative. I would recommend her to anyone! My doggy was so well loved and cared for during his stay with Lajetta!”
“Holly and her family were super great and accommodating when watching my dog, George. George can be pretty timid but they were very understanding and patient with him while he settled in!”
“Katherine did a fantastic job watching Muffin and Maple for 8 nights! She was reliable, communicative, and made sure they were well cared for. It was great knowing they were in such good hands. Would definitely trust her again!”
“I was really nervous about leaving my German Shepherd mix Callie with a new person for a week while I was out of town. We’re very attached to each other and I had no idea how she would do. Dan sent me fantastic photos almost every day when I was gone, she had other visiting pups to play with, and she came home happy. It seemed to go really smoothly without a hitch which really put my mind at ease. Thanks Dan!”
“Our little senior doxie, Rocky, spent 2 weeks with Barbara and we couldn’t be more happy with how it went! Barbara gave him lots of love and cuddles, and they spent some time watching Dodger baseball together. Rocky can’t wait for the next time he can spend time with Barbara 😊”
“100% would book with Jake again. Communication was quick and easy, sent us great photos of our pup and his pup making friends, and our pup came home tired and happy.”
“My fiancée and I were looking for someone to take in and board our senior dog, Dash, during an international trip we had coming up. We are so thankful we found Rosemary! Her sweet and warm personality not only made Dash feel immediately comfortable but also helped make us feel more relaxed knowing he was in such great hands! Rosemary gave us consistent updates and communication on how Dash was doing through out his stay, no matter the difference in time zone! I would 100% rebook and recommend Rosemary to anyone interested in having a fantastic dog sitter!”
“What an amazing individual and her little doggie, Zoe. Marybeth is super casual, interested, caring, and flexible. She understands pets and their importance. I loved her tree-lined neighborhood and the HUGE fenced backyard available for my little pupper to play. I've decided Marybeth's the one to trust with my little pup, Mia.”
“We had a wonderful experience with April! We trusted that our dog would be well taken care of. An added bonus was that our dog had another dog (April’s dog) to keep her company:)”
“Our Aussie Lennox stayed with Allen for the third time . It's great to have a place where our little 1 year old can run around and wrestle with other dogs. Communication with Allen is always great. This time our plans got cancelled and Allen was super flexible what I truly appreciate. We will be back for sure :) Thank you!”
“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.”
“Barry and his dog Shakka are just who we were hoping for. Our active dog seems to have had a really good stay. We got updates with pictures from Barry, that showed us a happy dog. We will be using him again when we can’t take our pup with us. Thanks Barry”
“Veronica is very sweet. She was very nice to my dog. Her 2 dogs are very friendly and seems like my dog had a great time at Veronica’s house. I will ask her again. I do strongly recommend her to all dog owners.”
“Annika, John, and Pepper were great! We boarded our dog for the first time with strangers and he was understandably a bit anxious (and so were we). But they were great hosts and very responsive and extremely responsible. Pepper was a gracious host. Felix had a great time overall!”
“Christopher has a great yard for dogs to play in and I enjoyed the photos and videos he sent during our dog's stay with him. He seems insightful of dogs' communication and was able to handle our dog's protectiveness around meal times. I really appreciated Chris' communication and that there weren't a lot of other dogs there at the same time so I didn't have to worry about unknown dog group dynamics. I will gladly book with him again in the future.”

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!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lucy took amazing care of Otto and treated him like one of her own. We loved the daily updates, photos, and videos—it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Otto got lots of walks, playtime, dog park adventures, and even made some Frenchie friends! It was obvious she really got to know his goofy personality. He came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, communicative sitter.
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!
Devon is the kind of person you want for a pet sitter. My dog, who can sometimes be a little anxious, was set at ease immediately by Devon’s relaxed energy. Devon was thoughtful, communicative and friendly, and gave our dog walks, snuggles and gave us just the updates we needed to feel confident that our pup was in good hands.

There are 2,418 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Portland. About 91% of Portland sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
