“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Wonderful Experience! Highly Recommend Danah! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Danah! From the very beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable and confident about leaving our two dogs in her care. During our meet-and-greet, she warmly welcomed us into her home and showed us exactly where our dogs would sleep, play, and relax. Her kindness, hospitality, and genuine love for dogs immediately put our minds at ease. She even helped us carry in their kennels, food, blankets, and all their doggie accessories! She also thoughtfully provides dog beds for those who don’t bring their own. Throughout their stay, Danah went above and beyond! She kept us updated daily with wonderful photos and videos of our dogs having fun, which we absolutely loved receiving. She even purchased special treats for them and kindly offered to give both dogs a bath! Her attention to detail, generosity, and dedication to making our dogs feel at home were truly exceptional. It was such a relief knowing our furry family members were being loved and well cared for while we were away. We are incredibly grateful to Danah and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and outstanding dog sitter! We will definitely be using her again!”
“Karimar was great! She provided frequent photos and communication. Our pup was well cared for, got a walk, got treats, etc., just like at home. I know she was much more comfortable and less stressed than at a boarding facility. Will book again for sure!”
“Awesome! Made our dogs comfortable and let us do a meet and greet prior to our drop off date which helps so much with one of our anxious dogs. Would definitely use again and recommend!”
“Reagan did such a great job, you can tell she is passionate about dogs!!! Our dogs had so much fun! We would recommend Reagan to anyone who wants there dogs to be safe, happy, and well taken care of. We will definitely use Reagan again in the future!”
“DeAnn was amazing. We were visiting the gulf and planned an outing Roo couldn't attend, so last minute, found DeAnn and she accepted. Roo got to hang out with DeAnn and her neighbor Fran. He was well loved on. Both ladies are super friendly and sweet. Thank you both!”
“Paige was wonderful to my dog! She was super flexible & when my flight was cancelled, she kept my dog for an extra night no problem! When I picked up Indie, she slept the entire day away! I can tell she had the best weekend playing with Paige’s dogs! Will definitely use Paige again!”
“Stephanie was wonderful!! My 8 year old dog who I have had since she was 6 weeks old doesn't really like being around anyone else but me, especially not left without me. Stephanie's home was so inviting, Molly was the only animal there for the stay, the was a huge fenced in back yard for her to play and she, and I, loved Stephanie right away. I actually felt comfortable leaving Molly there (very rare.) I will absolutely be using Stephanie again. As long as she is available I will be using her any time I need a sitter.”
“Our pup had a great experience! She took good care of Huxton and kept me updated throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind. I really appreciated her communication and care. I would definitely recommend her and book with her again!”
“Melinda was amazing, I’m a total helicopter dog mom and Melinda was not only great with my sweet girl Frankie but she was also so good about putting my mind at ease with photo updates of how Frankie was doing!! I’m new in town and I’m so happy we found Melinda and her happy dog family!!”
“Monica took care of Ripley for a week. She was very responsive and sent plenty of photos! She took Ripley to the beach and the park and gave her lots of love. We would definitely use Monica again!”
“Karen did an amazing job taking care of our sweet babies. We have a 15 year old girl that has a hard time getting around and Karen did a great job of taking care of her. She was always avaible to chat if need be and sent us loads of pictures and updates. She even got them little christmas gifts for the holiday!!! If you need a sitter that goes the extra mile Karen is your gal. Wouldnt hesitate to book again!”
“Khea was amazing with my Diva! She even took a special christmas photo of her that I'm definitely going to frame. It really looked like she had a blast. Thank you so much Khea for taking good care of my sweet little girl while we were away!”
“Destiny and her pups were AWESOME! My girls had never spent the night away from home before, and they had a blast! We will definitely be contacting Destiny again to care for Koda and Lula!”
“Excellent! I can tell that Serena felt like home from the beginning when we installed her things. Danielle were very receptive receiving the instructions. The apartment is clean and cute, for me the cleaness es important. Danielle sent me pictures of Serena and was very responsive when I texted asking about my cat. When I picked Serena up Danielle was very clear and communicative about the days they both spend together, which was very nice since I was a bit anxious about leaving her from the beginning. Danielle even told me of one time she gave water to Serena with the syringe (as I instructed) because she noticed Serena wasn’t drinking enough. The most important things is that Serena was fine, healthy and happy when I got her back which means it was a good experience for her. Thanks Danielle! I am more than happy of being your 1st review in Rover... I am sure there’s many more to come for many people. God bless ✨???✨?”
About: Hello all! I’m Ebony and I would love to take care of your pet. I have taken care of my pets and others’ pets for over 30 years. I am adaptable and very reliable. I can handle an older pet or a young one. I have a very open schedule and with proper notice I can be available but I am also available for unexpected/last minute visits. I normally go on long walks and runs so I welcome active dogs. I am all about making your pet feel comfortable and safe when I am with them. I have a pet so I understand these furry ones are like our children and I will treat them with care
“Rebecca cared for my cat Sammy. She went the extra mile in making sure he was comfortable with enough toys etc and even accomadated Sammy's extended stay. Thank you again.”
About: I've been raising rescue dogs for 6 years and currently have 3 beautiful fur babies. They are happy and healthy and have overcome their fear of abandonment. I currently work from home so I am able to give my dogs the love and attention they need. We (my dogs and I) frequently spend time outside in the yard playing with toys and chasing lizards. Due to the miraculous ability for digging holes that dachshunds possess, my large yard is now well fortified and fully fenced with a doggy door for easy access.
About: I have cared for countless animals throughout my life, and this has given me a passion and love for caring for animals. I have experience with several types of animals from dogs to birds. I am a college student, so I have a nearly completely free schedule and the resources to dedicate my efforts into caring for my animals and any pets left in my care. My cat stays inside all day and is allowed to roam freely. I am able to accomodate any requests for adhering to an animal’s existing routine such as crates or overnight stays.

This was the first time leaving our pup with anyone. Deann made us feel very comfortable. It was a very clean environment and Deann sent us pictures and updates about how our pup was doing. We were very happy with the care our pup received and will definitely be using Deann again.
DeAnn was amazing. We were visiting the gulf and planned an outing Roo couldn't attend, so last minute, found DeAnn and she accepted. Roo got to hang out with DeAnn and her neighbor Fran. He was well loved on. Both ladies are super friendly and sweet. Thank you both!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Portland is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $58 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 November 2026, there are 130 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Portland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
93% 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, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Portland. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 TX 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
