“Odette was a fantastic sitter for my dog, Fozzie. She sent me photos & videos of him happy and playing in the yard and with her dog, I was worried my dog wouldn’t want to come home! Great communication, would highly recommend! ☺️”
“Lisa did an amazing job loving our little Finn. Finn is not left with others much. He is used to someone being home most of the time. Lisa made this work perfectly so he was comfortable! Finn loves to sleep with someone at night and not in his kennel and Lisa accommodated this to keep him feeling loved and comfortable. Lisa loves dogs and it is easy to see when you meet her. She has a wonderful environment for family pets. Lisa wanted to know what Finn was used to and wanted him relaxed. When we picked Finn up he was excited to see us but was not stressed he was relaxed on our car ride home. Next time we need a sitter, we will definitely ask Lisa!”
“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!”
“Erin is amazing! Her and her husband truly understand and love dogs! Our dog can be anxious when we leave so we can’t board her but being in a loving home, made all the difference! I highly recommend Erin!”
“Tyler was amazing with coral . She loved being at his home . Very responsive and sent pictures and videos every day . Can’t thank him enough . Would definitely use him again when I’m in the area.”
“Allison is the best! So thankful to have a sitter I can trust who loves my baby while I’m away. She is thorough, provides lots of updates and is fun and engaging.”
“It has been such a pleasure and a relief to have left our girl with Kaitlyn and her family. The first time we left her with someone, it was such a sketchy experience that we weren’t sure we’d ever use Rover again. She was covered in fleas and she seemed to develop a bad habit or two. But now our faith has been restored! We got updates with pictures every day, she was clean and had playmates to keep her happy and busy too. I really hope we’re able to come back here if ever we need to ☺️.”
“Hayley was great with Diana! My dog came home a happy pup. She did a great job of sending lots of pictures and letting me know Diana was having fun. I loved that she had other dogs there to play with since she is an only child:) 10/10”
“Colten was able to watch my dog super last minute due to a work trip and I was so grateful! He took such great care of my pup and sent pics each day. I’ll definitely be booking with Colten again!”
“Sandy was incredibly communicative, kind, and thoughtful. She helps with med administration and sent many pictures. My dog clearly enjoyed being with her and playing with her two cats. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Brynn did a wonderful job keeping our 16 year old Maize comfortable while we were out of town. Brynn shared some great photos keeping us informed. One would make a great Christmas card. Thank you again Brynn. Merry Christmas!”
“My dog nova was well taken care of. I got pictures and updates while I was on vacation. Kayahja is as very responsive and patient with my dog as she got used to a new environment.”
“Scott did another great job taking care of my dog! He was available on relatively short notice and was very conscientious of making sure my older dog's needs were met. My dog is always happy to go there when I have to go on vacation!”
“Brooke went over and above to take care of Bella and make her stay enjoyable! She is an excellent communicator and I enjoyed the photos she sent throughout Bella’s stay. We will use Brooke again!”
“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!!!”
“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! ??????????”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Portland
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.
