“As always Lisa is amazing with my little old lady and will always be a repeat customer. Cannot recommend her enough if you have a senior pup that you just want a calm, quiet "home" feel boarding situation.”
“She was wonderful with my pup, Sasha. I will be using her again if i need to. She sent lots of pics and kept me updated the whole time. She was kind and Sasha grew to love her dogs in a short time as well. Very pleased with everything! :)”
“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!”
“Awesome!!!! Will never leave Blu with anyone other than Erin ever again…..amazing updates and care. Very detail oriented and animal lovers. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is apprehensive about leaving loved one with just anyone!!! Thanks so much.”
“Tyler was incredibly quick to respond, provided frequent updates and pictures, along with descriptions of the dog’s interactions. Our Dalmatian is socially anxious and does not typically do well away from us. With Tyler, she was well taken care of and given all the cuddles she demanded. Our Lab was entertained and loved on, just as he likes.”
“Allison is truly a nurturer. She took excellent care of my dog, Murphy. He got plenty of exercise, play time, & outside time. She ensured that all dogs in her care got along & were all safe & sound. Murphy looked healthy & well exercised. I highly recommend Allison’s services. I will be booking with her again!”

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!!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was very nervous, my girl is my whole world. Brynn was just absolutely amazing! We did a meet and greet first which was great, and then Kimura really had the best time during her stay! I can’t say enough good things. I got regular updates, and I truly felt my girl was being really cared for. I’m so grateful she had such a smooth and great time. :) definitely recommend!!”
“Our two pups have been to Hayley’s home multiple times now and always have the best time! We love getting the updated photos while we are away from them. Thank you so much!”

“After unfortunately, needing a sitter for my dog exactly one week before I left town for Christmas and everywhere else as full. I had the pleasure of booking with Kayahja over Christmas week. Honestly, she was a godsend and the best sitter I’ve ever had for my pup Bentley. From the start, he was so comfortable with her and her three adorable dogs. She listened to every need that Bentley has and he had the best time with her. She was very communicative and sent me daily updates, photos and videos of Bentley reassuring that he was having the best time. Kayahja treated Bentley like he was one of her own pups. Even sending him off with a big hug and his fave ball from her home. Needless to say, we have found our permanent sitter for Bentley. I highly recommend Kayahja to care for your dog!”
“Brooke and her family are my go to when I need an in-home sitter for my pup. She takes great care of my 3 1/2 lb chihuahua and always sends the cutest pictures and updates. So grateful to have found her! I will continue to book with Brooke.”
“Lauren was AMAZING! It was my 1st time boarding Maggie and I could not have hoped for a better experience! Maggie was treated like family and didn’t even know I was gone. Lauren was communicative the entire time with updates , pics and videos. I highly recommend! We will be visiting Lauren and Maggie’s new family often!!”
“Jessica communicated so well all week while watching our baby! I was nervous to leave him for so long but she sent updates and pictures and answered so fast!! Would recommend her for the anxious doggy parents and will book again!!!”
“Elizabeth is wonderful! Her home is spotless-even though she has three ADORABLE dogs of her own. Elizabeth is truly a "dog person". I was worried that my puppy would want to stay forever and be a part of her pack!”
“I had to book a sitter for my dog less than a week before my flight, which is beyond stressful to experience. Not only did Scott take Charlie on last minute but he took amazing care of him as well. I’ll definitely be using Scott again in the future! Highly recommend!!!”
“Esther was incredible as well as her family. Austin had such an amazing time and I know he was well take care of. Communication was fantastic and I received plenty of adorable pictures and updates. I would highly recommend Esther and would definitely be sending Austin back to her.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Portland on Rover is $28.48 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 780 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.
