“Odette and her family were absolutely amazing and accommodating. Bugsy had a wonderful time. I felt confident in her ability to care for Bugsy as old as he is because she is experienced with older dogs, especially pugs. Bugsy has never stayed overnight anywhere and I am so glad I chose Odette to care for him. I would most definitely use her services again and so appreciate the love and care she took with Bugsy.”
“Haley & Ryan took great care of Huck while we were out of the country and sent us pictures and updates each day. It’s so hard to leave your pet but in certain situations it’s unavoidable. It sure makes it easier when you know they’re being treated well. Thanks again!”
“Lisa was very great with my toy poodle and kept me updated with pictures which calmed my nerves for her very 1st stay My pup seemed so happy to be there. She slept all day when I got her home from being exhausted from such a good time. I have already booked her next boarding stay. Thanks for taking such good care of her.”
“Peaches had the time of her life with Tyler and his family!! She had so much space to run around and was so happy and calm when I picked her up!! I would definitely book again I felt so reassured the whole time she was with them.”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs for 50 years. I’ve taken care of up to seven dogs at once. I’ve had big and small dogs. All my dogs are adopted and some have had special needs. I’m retired, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups. I’m currently available to watch or board all week. I love taking dogs for walks. I have a fenced yard. Currently I don’t have any dogs but occasionally I watch my daughters dog. Even though I don’t have dogs I make sure all gates are closed and secured.
“Lauren was absolutely the best sitter! She was so caring and attentive to my senior baby. ☺️ Fantastic communication and she sent lots of pictures. Trooper was so relaxed when I picked him up, which let me know he was at peace during his visit.”
“I had my two dogs with Niyired for 6 days. They were well taken care of and they seemed happy in their boarding place. The place was clean and they had ample place to play. The sitter sent pics from time to time. I wished to get more pics as we missed our dogs a lot during the travel. But it was really nice of her to help us at the last minute when two other sitters canceled. We will surely use this sitter again.”
“Ms Sandy was so great with our senior dog, Vixen! I never worried about her and Sandy sent several pictures of her happy! Ms Sandy also was great with some of the senior dog issues Vixen sometimes has. Overall I felt extremely at ease with Vixen staying there and would definitely have her watch our dog again!”
“Dixie had a great stay. Cyndie and her family were so warm and welcoming and it is very clear how much they care for animals. They were wonderful and we will certainly use them again!”
“Kelly did amazing. Our pup is super shy and is terrified of strangers, but he warmed up to her and her children better than anyone else he has stayed with. Kelly asked plenty of questions to make sure she understood his needs ahead of time and sent me updates and photos regularly. We will be booking with her again in the future!”
“Such a great fit for us and our girls! Elizabeth was a perfect host making sure they felt at home. Her 2 pups are precious and played with ours. The videos were fun and reassuring. We will definitely be back! ??????????”
“We have nothing but great things to say about Kaitlyn! She was very easy to communicate with and took many adorable pictures of our pups during their stay. We got daily updates on their progress which was so comforting our first time away from them for more than a day or two. Definitely recommend!!”
“Brynn was amazing at taking my baby last minute and being super flexible with our needs! Great communication and I felt totally at ease going out of town for the weekend knowing she was in great hands :) as a hesitant rover user I’m so happy to have found the perfect person to trust for my dog sitting needs!! Thank you Brynn!”
“I felt instantly at ease about Kayahja watching our pup! We had good communication every day and our pup was well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Kayahja and would have our dog stay there again. Thank you!”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Laura was absolutely amazing with our pups this past weekend! We never once had to worry about them while they were in her care. You can genuinely tell that she cares about what she does and makes sure to treat every pet like they’re her own. Her experience in pet care was one of the main reasons we initially chose to book with her, and after meeting her, it was immediately evident just how knowledgeable and experienced she is. She was so compassionate, understanding, and attentive to each of our dogs’ individual schedules and personalities. She took the time to make sure they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for, (& most importantly loved!) and her communication was great!! Laura was incredibly trustworthy, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We’re so grateful for the love and care she gave our pups and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pups! And my pups came home happy and tired from playing all weekend long! Thank you, Laura!”
“We are very happy with Scott's care of our 2 dogs! I (tearfully) dropped them off for a 6-night stay, and they had a 6-night party! The home is clean and peaceful, with a spacious backyard for lots of exercise. We plan to leave our dogs with Scott again, without worry.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Portland on Rover is $28.86 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 774 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Portland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
97% of Portland sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Portland landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Portland home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Portland.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Portland sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 TN 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
