“Hope was awesome! She took great care of my dog, Pickles while I went out of town for a funeral. She enabled me to be with my family and not have to worry about my boy at home. She was super flexible and professional, sending photos throughout the entire time. I’m very grateful!”
“Haley and Ryan took amazing care of Sawyer during our trip. They were always responsive and provided awesome pictures to keep us updated on how our dog was doing. Huge Bonus is they have a very friendly playful dog of their own that ours got to hang with for the week!”
“Lindsey was amazing with our dog Rocky. He is an elder dog and has knee issues so steps are difficult for him. He hurt his back/knees while staying with Lindsey. She let us know right away and updated us frequently with messages and photos. She stayed close to him and physically carried him outside and assisted with him standing during the rest of the stay. Upon our request, she took him to his vet also. She treated him like one of her own. Although we are saddened that he hurt himself, it could have happened anywhere and we definitely recommend Lindsey as a great pet sitter and person. Our "Rocky" is improving every day.”
About: I have over 30 years of pet care experience, taking care of puppies and kittens through senior dogs and cats. I don’t have children and consider my pets my children! You will have no worries while you are away from them. I have been there and understand what it’s like to be away from my pets and worrying that the people that I asked to look after my pets won’t get there on time to let them out or will forget and not feed them or give them water or scoop their litter box. If you hire me you will not have that problem. You can relax on your vacation or on your business trip knowing that your fur babies are taken care of. I currently work as a merchandiser and have a flexible schedule and can arrange my schedule to include pet visits at any time of the day. I do not currently have a fenced in yard but plan on getting one so if you want me to keep them in my home, I will leash them and walk them.
“Jessica was an amazing sitter! She sent lots of updates and photos and it was obvious our pup had a blast with her and her dogs. We would definitely recommend and would book her again!”
“My 3 doggies came home happy and healthy. Skilar was able to keep our dogs last minute during the summer for over 10 days. She kept us updated with pictures and updates on how they were doing. I will definitely use again.”
“Kayahja was awesome! I last minute had to drop my cat off for the night and she was welcoming and went above and beyond caring for Violet. Her two dogs were so cute and friendly with her and she sent lots of pictures and videos so I knew she was safe and happy!”
“This was my first time using rover and Victoria was very accommodating for Anya. The updates and pictures of how she was doing were very nice to see while I was away. Great experience and hope to book Victoria again in the future.”
“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!”
“My fur baby had the best time!!! Carri was so great with her!!! I’ll definitely book with Carri again. Carri kept me updated and really eased my mind while traveling. Can’t say thank you enough to Carri.”
“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!”
“Molly was great! We went on a long weekend trip and our dog seemed very happy and comfortable there. She even took her on a 5 mile walk! We will definitely be using Molly in the future!”
“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.”
“Leah provided so many updates and details that it was as if I hadn’t even left my sweet Daisy behind. Leah & Wes and “the girls” welcomed Daisy with open arms and paws! I’m so glad we found this wonderful family to look after Daisy when we are away. Daisy came home happy and I know when we use Leah & Wes again she will be well taken care of!!”
“Danielle and Joel took amazing care of our dog Zoey and treated her like one of their own. We were sent lots of updates and pictures during the stay. Zoey was happy the entire time and is looking forward to another stay!”
“Juniper and I love Ashley! She is the best and always send such good pictures! Her pups also play with Juni and make sure she comes home nice and sleepy!”
“Nathan and his family were incredible. We were so relieved knowing our dogs were in good hands while we were out of the country for over a week. Nathan sent pictures and updates daily. They were so kind to help with some medication delivery and also extra generous to feed our elderly pup some special meals when she didn’t want to eat much. We appreciated their flexibility with pick up times after our flight was delayed. Can’t express our gratitude enough! Would highly recommend Nathan to anyone!! Thanks so much again!”
About: I am a military spouse, so when it comes to caring for animals when their owners are away I am no stranger to that! Every animal has their own personality and that is what makes each one unique! My whole life I've had pets, and have cared for each one as a member of the family. I have experience potty training animals, as well as sticking to strict schedules for walking, and eating. I can guarantee that your pet/s will be well taken care of!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Portland is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $45 per night. 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 of October 2026, there are 745 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Portland can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Portland home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
