“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 is now my go-to for quick work trips. My little girl seems very content and happy to be there. My girl also gets along with her Bentley really well and they like to nap together.”
“Really glad my girl had one on one time with Odette and her family! It's exactly what she needed! Odette was good about sending updates and pictures of our girl!”
“Hope was great with my Murphy. He loved being with her and her kids and dog. Hope was great communicating updates and sending pictures. I’ll definitely keep her in mind for next time I go out of town!”
“Tyler took wonderful care of our dog Tracker. Tyler sent pictures and communicated with us everyday so we didn't worry one bit. I would highly recommend him to my friends who need a dog sitter. Tyler and his family took Tracker in like their own and we will definitely be having them watch Tracker again in the future.”
“Our little Flipper was in excellent hands with Erin and Joseph! The environment is clean and spacious in the home with plenty of room in the backyard to run and play with other dogs. In addition, Joe has a lot of knowledge about dog behavior and training. This sweet couple takes dog sitting seriously, will treat your babies like their own, and will update you with pictures! We're taking little Flipper back to Erin and Joe later this month <3”
“Esther and her family took fabulous care of our 3 yr old Yorkie. She met us before booking to make sure her puppy and our dog would be compatible. Esther sent multiple updates with pictures during the days she had our dog. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our dog was well card for. When we need a sitter, we would have no hesitation in asking for Esther and her family.”
“Niyired took great care of my dog Emi. When I first met her she was very patient with the other dogs staying with her who were dying to meet my dog. I knew then she loves dogs and understands their world. I will definitely have my dog stay with her in the future.”
“Cyndie was the PERFECT match for my Farrah Grace. She sent pictures and updates at the most prefect times. We will ALWAYS be using Cyndie for future pet sitting.”
“Sandy did a phenomenal with our dog! She had just been spayed a few days before I had to leave her and I needed someone I could trust to keep an extra eye on her to make sure she was healing well and didn’t mess with her sutures. Sandy was the perfect sitter! Her clean, cozy home made my girl feel right at home! My dog loved her and Sandy sent photos while we were gone. She kept in contact with my during the week I was gone and I so appreciated that! Thank you for taking such good care of our girl! Will definitely use 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!”
“Scott was very communicative and provided pup-dates while Baze was in his care. My little dood definitely had a blast running around in Scott’s yard, it was a huge plus he had a space for him to run around. I would absolutely recommend Scott as your next sitter!!”
“Hayley is absolutely AMAZING! Blue loved being over and playing with all the pups. Hayley was so helpful in making us comfortable, sent a lot of pictures and overall was an amazing time.”
“Lauren went above and beyond taking care of Cece! From the moment we left, I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such great hands. Lauren sent so many photos and updates of Cece clearly having the best time while on walks, hanging out, and enjoying lots of cuddles. It honestly felt like Cece was living her best life while we were gone. If I could rate Lauren 10 out of 10, I absolutely would. I can’t recommend her highly enough! Thank you, Lauren, for taking such great care of Cece!”
“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 ☺️.”
“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!”
“The best person I have ever left my dog with she was amazing and was so nice and always sent pictures and made sure my dog was having a good time I would recommend her Everytime she was amazing”

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.
