“Lesley gave 5 star treatment to my 7 month old puppy, Skipper for an in-home stay. At first I wasn’t sure about leaving little Skipper with all her big dogs, but she suggested an initial meet and greet and it was apparent that Skipper would become part of the “gang.” Lesley even got Skipper to eat regular dog food! Skipper was well taken care of and will be visiting his new friends for drop in visits. Thank you Lesley!!!!!!”
“Delelah was very flexible and quick to respond. She was pet sitting as a hurricane was in the gulf. She was able to keep me informed and work with my schedule so I knew my pet would be cared for even if my travel plans were effected by the weather”
“Reagan was amazing! My Stella is a bit weird and loves showing her teeth when playing or getting love which scares some people (she has never bitten anyone). However Reagan embraced it and sent many pictures and videos of my girl playing. Stella had so much fun and after the first day I was no longer worried about her and was able to just enjoy my vacation. Reagan would just send me pictures and videos without me asking and I absolutely loved that! 5⭐️'s”
About: My house is the go-to for all our family dogs whose humans can't be home with them! I have my own pets, and I have been caring for family pets for as long as I can remember. I keep them at the house, or care for them in their own homes. I've been told I have a giant heart, and there is plenty of space for your fur baby! I have a full time, fully remote job. My schedule is very flexible! I am home with my own pets for most of the day. I also have grandchildren who visit several times a week. I have a fenced back yard. I have a small dog and a medium dog. Both are neutered males. I also have some reptiles and birds in the home.
“She is fantastic and Lew , had like a vacation time. I will recommend Rebecca to everyone who wants to be sure that his dog is going to enjoy and feel loved. Thanks Rebecca.”
“Excellent care received for my pet beagle. They gave him lots of attention which he adores and he thoroughly enjoyed playing with her dogs. She sent over lots of pictures and videos as well. I was grateful finding her last minute for our trip to Corpus Christy and glad our pup was in loving care!”
“Gina is amazing! She took such good care of our Lucy girl and sent so many updates. She had so much fun with Gina and her family and her dogs. Every picture she sent I could swear she was smiling! We will definitely be booking with her again❤️”
“Ingrid was great. She happened to be in our area so offered to pick up our dog since she was near by. Bailey slept with her in the bed too. Right where he’s used to sleeping.”
“This was my first time leaving Duke with someone and I was really worried he would not do well. We had gone on a meet and greet 2 days before and Duke got along well with Melinda and her 2 dogs but I was still apprehensive. When it came time to drop him off he jumped right out of the car and ran up to Melinda and her husband without hesitation and went right in the house ! Melinda kept me informed with pictures of Duke having a great time and I have to say Duke misses his new friends. I would highly recommend Melinda anytime and will definitely take more trips now that I know he will be well cared for and loved. Dr Dan”
“Kyoko was truly an amazing sitter! Tobias immediately got comfortable with Kyoko and her two pups. She kept us up to date morning and evening with pictures, videos, and messages. She took him on walks and took very good care of our fur baby. Our pup loved staying with her and her family and we highly recommend her! We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience on Rover for both dogs and cats in Waco, I recently moved to Corpus Christi.. I currently have a small Yorkie of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I treat every pet with the same patience, attention, and care that I’d want for my own. Aside from occasional college classes beginning soon, my schedule is very flexible. I’m available most days, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’ll always communicate my availability clearly and do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions carefully, keep you updated with messages and photos, and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention while you’re away. I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and a calm environment where they can feel secure. Whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing at home, you can trust that your pet will be treated like part of my own family.
“Jasmine was amazing with our chiki girl! She absolutely spoiled her rotten and gave her the best princess treatment possible. She sent so many update photos of our girl absolutely enjoying herself all loafed up and even comforted her during a scary thunderstorm. We are so happy with how our baby was treated by Jasmine and hope to book her again when needed !”
“Highly recommend Rebecca. Using Rover for the first time, we were a little nervy but Rebecca definitely made Mila feel at home throughout her stay. Safe to say our kitty made a new friend very quickly.”
“Amanda was awesome! I was in a tight spot, gave her short notice and she quickly responded. Riley quickly took a liking towards her. Would not hesitate to ask her to watch Riley again! Thank you so much.”
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.
“Molly had the best time with Kenna and her family. Photos & videos were sent during her visit to humor me and satisfy the interaction Molly was having with everyone during her stay.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or providing companionship, I treat every pet like family and pay close attention to their individual needs and routines. I am a full-time college student during the fall and spring semesters and also work evening shifts at a local gym. Because of this, I carefully manage my schedule to provide reliable and attentive pet care. I am available for morning, midday, and weekend visits depending on my class and work schedule. I understand the importance of consistency for pets and will always communicate clearly, arrive on time, and ensure your pets receive the care, attention, and companionship they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and household rules. I provide a calm, clean, and attentive environment and take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are receiving excellent care.

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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Portland is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $67 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 138 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.
94% 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 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.
