“Maggie had a great time at Scott’s. We felt very comfortable leaving Maggie with Scott and when we returned to pick her up we could tell that she liked him and was comfortable there. She will definitely be visiting again.”
“Leila was awesome … I appreciated she took care of my fur babies. She was able to make them comfortable and calm after a challenging morning. I appreciate Leila and her family.”
“Seb took excellent care of our dog. We were in the area for our son's wedding and wanted a safe and fun place for our dog. Seb went above and beyond. He was incredibly helpful and responsive prior to our dog's stay. He took excellent care of our baby while we were away. She had lots of activity and friendly dogs to play with. The pictures Seb sent during her stay kept my mind at ease. I highly recommend Seb. He is excellent with dogs and a genuinely kind and lovely person.”
About: My name is Monica. I have taken care of pets for over 29 years. I currently have 3 cats both neutered. One is a senior 15 yrs old, then there is 7 yrs and 1 yr. They keep to themselves. Over the years many dogs and cats have came and went each showing their individuality. Each pet has a need which will be met according to your standards. If you book me for a Board or even a day stay I promise to have you and your furry friend 100% satisfied. I can also walk them,and do drop bys. Your pet will always have someone around in my home(if they like children). It can be hard to find someone as trustworthy as it is for me. They are just as much children and finding the right person takes time. I'm willing to show I am trustworthy And will treat them as my own. I have 3 floors,so if any pets I care for needs personal space I can accommodate. We also have a spare room where they can relax. Due to health I can only take dogs up to 18 lbs. Please note my drop-off and pickup fee is for within a 15 mile radius. If you need pickup outside that range higher fees apply. I'm a stay at home mom who works from home. I am flexible. Other then appointments and cooking. I'm usually available during the week and most weekends. My house has unfenced yard I have 2 floors,so if any pets I care for needs personal space I can accommodate. We also have a spare room where they can relax.
“Melissa and Angel are great! They took great care of my dog Whiskey, providing walks, playtime, and plenty of pictures throughout. I will definitely use them again when I’m in the area. Highly recommend!!”
About: Taking care of animals is my calling! They love me and I love them. I’ve always enjoyed working with animals since a young age. I have worked in the dog grooming business training to hopefully own my own dog hotel in the near future! I also have worked at boarding facilities for dogs/cats. I have found that I truly love anything that provides a better space for animal boarding/care. I’m excited to have expanded my experience in dog sitting/walking! I will be offering grooming to the pups I dog sit/walk so feel free to ask about getting a bath/groom! Currently I work full time at a veterinary facility/grooming facility. I can provide my services so long as the dates are available on my schedule! :) Each pet would be cared for differently according to their needs. Lots of love will be given to each dog I sit/walk, if allowed a few treats and toys for good behavior, and safety for the dogs and myself will be the main priority.
“Scotty was great with Nola! It was a last-minute booking and despite the snow falling, he met us outside. Showcased the area Nola would be, and sent pictures of her comfortable! He was super friendly and accommodating for us, and Nola really loved her time with him!”
About: Like most I have had dogs my entire life but my last soul mate of 16 years died a year ago and I cannot bring myself to get another dog. That being said, we love animals in this household and want them around all the time...I think you get it. My other job is a professional nature photographer so not only will you get amazing photos of your dog, I can bring them with me on my assignments if you like. Like I said in my experience, my other job is a professional photographer giving me hours and hours at my house editing my work. Also, my partner Julie is a yoga teacher who works for herself so there is always someone home. The most important thing is that it is your dog, your rules. We have the most inviting back yard but it is not fenced, however, our house is in a rural community with great neighbors. Your dog will never be off a leash if that is your wish.
About: I have been in pet care since I 2019 starting with my own puppy. Since then I have worked in professional pet care in education and training through Petco and local businesses. I am dedicated to providing the best and personalized care to your fur baby. I know how important trusting someone to watch over your pet is. I myself have three dogs, two cats, one bird, one spider, five frogs, and one house full of beautiful chaos and love. I want to be the person to put your mind at ease while you are away. During my time with your animals, I will treat them as they are my own with kindness and respect. I will be honored to help care for your little (or big) pet babies! I want this to be my full time job as much as possible. I have my internship (animal care at a local AZA certified zoo) Monday and Friday, but am otherwise free. I have a two story duplex with a fenced in yard in a quiet and safe neighborhood. I love being outdoors and can even offer hikes after getting to know your dogs a little more. I thrive on attention to detail and can even do medication administration and body examinations.
About: Since pre-teen, I grew up with dogs mostly as my parents had several dogs in the house. I love to care for dogs and make sure they’re happy and loved. Before Rover, I’ve walked and looked after neighbors’ dogs and owners have confided in me to care for them while they are away (i.e., family vacations, business trips, etc…). Currently my job is fully remote and I can mainly dog-sit during the day on a weekly basis. During the weekends, I can board, house sit and help in any way that I can with advance notice. My apartment is pet friendly and it is safe environment for dogs of any type. Apartment has easy dog access and Center City neighborhood is very safe. I live in between Rittenhouse Square Park and Washington Square park (~5mins walk).
About: You name it, I have had that animal friend growing up, especially dogs and cats. My cat Mama of 20 years had recently passed. I took care of her in her elderly state making sure she got the proper medications and attention she needed. I currently own an American Long Hair named Felix. He is fixed and friendly. Our newest memeber of our home is Cloud, a cuddly Golden Retreiver. We are fostering him. His owner left him behind when he moved out of state. I am capable of taking care of your loved one however needed. Walks, being brushed, bathed, medicine, playtime...you got it! I also live near a lake so there can be some water play! I look forward to meeting your pet! I do work part time, but am available to have most of my hours spent with your pet/s playing outside, at the lake, or in my yard. I can crate your pet if that is what you recommend. I do have a yard and an outdoor screen house. My pets are available to play with yours, or I can baby gate certian rooms off. I also live on a private lane and have many safe quiet roads to take pets for walks.
“Wow! I can not say enough good things about Katie, Francesco and their pet-sitting! They took the best care of our pups, and our dogs came back nice and tired from having such a great time! I would highly recommend!”
“Thank you so much for responding super promptly and at the very last minute! The area is nice and stress free for Bronte, especially since it was a last minute booking. I will surely be a repeat customer next time I am in the Poconos.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I treat every animal like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or cuddles, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I make time each day for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets attention and companionship. I’m organized and flexible, which allows me to stay consistent with each pet’s schedule and needs. Whether it’s daily check-ins, overnight care, or regular walks, I enjoy creating a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I provide loving, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs and routine. In my client’s home, I make sure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment by following their feeding schedule, exercise routine, medication instructions, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I also keep the home clean and secure while providing updates and photos for peace of mind. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment where they can relax, play, and feel comfortable. I make sure pets get regular potty breaks, exercise, affection, and supervision throughout the day so they feel cared for and stress-free while their owners are away. Details of my home are it is 2300 sq ft, plenty of space for playtime or to stretch the paws, and 26 private acres of peaceful woodlands trails.
“Our Gabby is a 16 year old toy poodle who does not usually take well to new people. I couldn’t believe it when we first me Janny, Gabby warmed up to her right away. It was so good to see and a relief to know that Gabby would be comfortable and happy after I left her. Janny is a personable young woman with a big heart. This was a trial run for us, it’s been hard finding just the right place for Gabby. We are so happy that we’ve found Janny, now we can move forward with our travel plans.🙂”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Portland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 485 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 pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Portland commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s 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 dog’s 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 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 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 pup’s 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 dog’s pack, check the sitter’s 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 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 PA 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.
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 .
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 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 485 sitters in Portland, 88% 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.
