About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10, 30 years of experience. Each individual pet is different and I want to love and give them the special attention they need. I have open availability. I am willing to work around your schedule and what’s best for you and your pet. Boarding or just drop in visits, either way I have a lot of love to give. Boarding, walking, or drop in visits, I will do whatever you and your fur baby need of me. From puppies and kittens to elderly dogs and cats I’m very adaptable.
“Allison was really easy to work with. Her and her family took good care of my dog and responded timely with updates when I checked in. I would gladly work with her again in the future.”
“Best sitter ever! My dog Cowboy loves True and their family. I appreciate all of the pictures and videos True sends when watching Cowboy which verifies just how much fun he is having there. Her vet tech experience has been a nice plus!”
“Kevin and his pups took excellent care of our GiGi girl! Kevin's dogs welcomed her into the pack and brought out a more playful side. He sent regular videos and photos illustrating how much fun she was having. And he can administer medication (GiGi has a daily medication that has to be refrigerated). We'll definitely be booking with him and his pups again!”
About: I have taken care of the pets of my family and friends since I was a kid , they would always rely on me to walk, feed their pets. I have a lot of free time but not enough to do anything to productive, so I’d rather be making money and getting some steps in for the day. The city and downtown in particular can be chaotic but not with me. I know the area well enough to keep your loved one safe
“Rover is a fussy dog and maybe a little spoiled. Juan was courteous and thoughtful and contacted us when Rover's physical conditions and behaviors would change. He kept us updated with Rover's progress until they subsided. Rover was a bit distant at the beginning, which is our dog's nature, Juan was able to draw her out of her shell and became more interested in paying with Juan and he earned her affection. We will use Juan for our next trip where we cannot bring Rover.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Portland is $50

Marguerite did such a wonderful job with my Remington. For a dog who is typically shy with new people, he warmed up to her quickly and made himself right at home. She made sure he was comfortable and safe during his stay. She constantly updated me and sent me photos of him, which was appreciated. If Remy gives her 5 stars, then so do I! I would love to book again and recommend booking with Marguerite.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Absolutely Amazing Dog Sitter! I couldn’t be happier with the exceptional care my dog received! From start to finish, the experience was absolutely wonderful. My dog was treated with so much love, patience, and attention, just like part of the family. The communication was excellent, and I had complete peace of mind knowing my furry friend was in such caring and trustworthy hands. It’s not easy to find someone who genuinely loves and cares for animals, but this Oscar went above and beyond my expectations. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I highly recommend Oscar to anyone looking for someone reliable, professional, and compassionate. I will definitely be booking again! Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my dog! 🐶❤️

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 2,454 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
