“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.”
“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.”
“Everything went so well! My dog loved Barbara’s huge backyard and comfy sofa. I loved the great care my pup got, including a chance to sleep in the big bed. Pictures and updates a couple of times a day let me know all was well. Thank you Barbara!”
“Fin is an exceptional caretaker! She is patient, kind and truly understands dog behavior. She went out of her way to help train our pup with separation anxiety. She is the best!”
“Keelan and Sabrina took AMAZING care of my 1.5yr old doodle! Multiple daily walks, lots of playtime & snuggle time, and plenty of photo updates. Angus had such a fun staycation which allowed me to enjoy my vacation knowing he was in good hands. Don’t think twice about leaving your fur baby with Keelan & Sabrina - they will be our go-to sitters now!”
“Another fantastic stay! So grateful for Lisa and how comfortable our guy is at her home upon drop off and pickup. Great communication daily, very kind and gentle person.”
“Haley did a wonderful job watching Pixie for the weekend, and was understanding of her little quirks, like how she’s still isn’t fully used to eating kibble! Thank you so much!”
“Lajetta took such great care of our pup noodles while our family went on vacation. She treats our pup not just like a dog but like a little human! She provided a luxurious room for our pup with plenty of toys and walks. I loved seeing all the pictures she sent us everyday and always responded promptly to any messages I sent. Noodles got to socialize with other small dogs her size which was wonderful. Gotta to admit a little jealous how much my puppy loves her in such a short time.”
“Blacky has been twice with Dan and he loves being with him. He is calm with Blacky, always sends updates and pictures! Blacky socializes with other dogs that stay with him and has a great time!”
“Milo took such good care of butters! Very communicative and sent daily photos. Butters looked like she had a blast with momo too! Will be booking care with Milo again!”
“Amber and her family took excellent care of our dog Dobby! He was obviously very comfortable and received a lot of love and attention while there. The photo and video updates gave us a lot of confidence to relax, knowing he was in great hands and having his own vacation!”
“After a successful daycare visit we had Theo board for a weekend with Allen. Theo was so excited when we brought him for drop off he practically dragged us to the gate. Theo had a great time! Allen kept us up to date with pictures and updates the entire weekend. Theo also gets to play with other dogs in a safe and friendly environment, which is great for him to burn off extra energy. It’s nice knowing that we’ve got a safe place for Theo so close by.”
“Holly watched our old pup for the 2nd time, and she was amazing! She was very accommodating to his needs, especially being a finicky eater. We are very grateful for all the love and care she gives to our guy ❤️”
“Linda was great with my dog and was very communicative. She went above and beyond to make my dog’s stay more comfortable. I would book with her again for any future dog sitting services.”
“Zach was flexible and communicated well. He sent relevant updates and was able to get Daphne to eat when away from home. No concerns came up. Daphne seemed to have a fine time as far as I could tell.”
“Annika, John, and Pepper are perfect sitters for our shy dog! She gets lots of time to play/explore, spoiled with cuddles, and loves going over there. They’re always communicative throughout the stay.”
“Wolf did such a great job with Penny. I hate being apart from her but it was reassuring to know all of the adventures they were going on and really sweet to see how comfortable she was. He is going to be my first choice the next time I need a babysitter for Penny!”
“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”
About: Hi! I'm Rosilynn. I live in Portland and love being outside. I was a dog mom for 13 years, and sadly... my sweet Strudel passed away last year. He lived a beautiful, happy, and long life. Even though I'm not ready to have another dog of my own, I so miss being around furry friends. Which is why I started Rover. I love dogs with all my heart. I love walking them, spoiling them, and making sure they're having the best day ever. I raised Strudel from a puppy to a senior, so I'm familiar with frequent potty breaks, medications, looking for glass on the sidewalk... all the dog mom things! Your precious will be loved and looked after in my home. I work from home so I will be with them most of the time. And if you'd like, I'm happy to bring them around the city with me. They'll get as many walks as they want. We can spend time at the park, get treats along the way, and anything their heart (with your permission) desires. They'll also feel like they're on vacation! Please note ** I dog sit part time because I love dogs and I enjoy this :) I also travel frequently so as of now I am unable to commit to consistent and recurring weekly needs. When I am in Portland, I am happy to pet sit! I work from home so I am able to stay with them for most of the time. If you're comfortable with it, I'm happy to bring them around if/when I run errands. I will take them out whenever they need in the morning and can accomodate almost all potty schedules. I usually walk 3+ miles a day, so I'm happy to bring them along if they will enjoy that distance! Please note ** I dog sit part time because I love dogs and I enjoy this :) I also travel frequently so as of now I am unable to commit to consistent and recurring weekly needs. When I am in Portland, I am happy to pet sit! I live in an apartment but go outside often. I am always looking out to avoid any glass on the sidewalk, I have never run into that problem, but just in case. And double checking their leash/harness is on correctly. I can also cross the sidewalk if they are not friendly with other dogs, I will always approach other dogs with caution for their safety.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Portland is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Portland
Lyanna was so sweet and super responsive! She sent daily notes and pictures of my cat during her boarding stay which was super appreciated. My cat was comfy with her and her space right away I can tell from the pictures she definitely had a great time. I would trust Lyanna with my cat again in the future and recommend her to anyone looking to board their cat :)
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!
Alexis was great about a somewhat last min booking req. I’m so happy to have found someone, especially someone with a calming and grounded energy/environment for my 2 little ones. They have separation anxiety issues also high energy and Alexis was great about the walks they need and feeding instructions for one of them. I was gone for 12 days and she kept me updated with pics so I felt comfortable being away. Would recommend to anyone.
Mallisha was fantastic. Her helpful, communicative and friendly attitude made things easier for me to be away from my fur baby with her! She took such good care of him and made sure he was loved and entertained just like at home. Sent lots of updates which I love too!
I’m not sure if I can put into words how grateful I am to Tim. It was a last minute booking and he was very easy to accommodate. My pup was sick and had never boarded with anyone before. He has a lot of anxiety around other people but he eagerly walked right into Tim’s home like it was his own. He was very comfortable. I got updated throughout his stay with pictures included and everything went very smoothly. Thanks again! Couldn’t be more grateful.

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.
