“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!!!!!!”
“Deedee was a wonderful sitter for Stella. Deedee is very relaxed and chill and Stella made Stella very comfortable. She has two dogs and was able to get all dogs to be friends. She is very good with animals & I will use her again.”
“Cindy is an amazing puppy sitter. I definitely recommend!!! 😇 I was out of town for the 1st time in Andrews 5months of life, and it felt like I didn’t miss one moment of my baby boy day/s. Cindy kept me updated and shared all is funny moments he encountered with her and her family. Keeping Andrew’s tight schedule was important to me, and priority for her. Ms Cindy will definitely be Andrew’s home away from home ❤️”
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.
“They took great care of our pup. This was the first visit with them and will hire them in the future. Was provided with daily communication with pictures! A+”
“Norma was super nice and a great sitter. She communicated regularly with me. I got regular updates and photos about my pup. Maxie seemed super happy and healthy when she was picked up like she didn’t even miss us. Thank you Norma for caring for our pup so well. I would definitely book with Norma again.”
“Kamilla had a wonderful stay with Stephanie! Stephanie kept my updated with pictures and videos and always responded quickly when contacted. Kamilla loved the attention she received from Stephanie. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing Kamilla was in good hands. I will definitely hire her again to take care of our baby!”
“Danielle was awesome with scheduling a last minute stay. She took care of Apollo and shared photos of his visit. Apollo is is older, and she provided that extra care he needs. We will definitely contact 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.”
“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!”
“Alisha is an exceptional pet sitter who went above and beyond caring for my senior dog, Mambo. Her genuine compassion shines through in everything she does. She was particularly attentive to Mambo's needs, showing extra care and patience due to his vision impairment. What truly sets Alicia apart is her remarkable flexibility with scheduling. She consistently worked around my changing needs for pickup and drop-off times, making the whole experience stress-free. Her understanding and adaptability were invaluable to me. Most importantly, I could tell that Alicia genuinely loves animals. She treated Mambo with such warmth and tenderness, ensuring he felt safe and comfortable despite his vision challenges. Her attention to detail and caring nature were evident in how she handled his specific needs. I wholeheartedly recommend Alicia to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter. Her warm-hearted nature and professional approach make her a rare find. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I have grown up living and taking care of dogs ranging from small dogs to big dogs. My parents taught me how to take care of them properly and I would always take them for a walk, clean up after them, and show them the love they deserve inside the home. Now my fiance and I got our own first dog together and she is almost 2 years old, and she’s a golden doodle named Pepper. I can walk or watch your dog/cat anytime. I’m home the majority of days and will be able to provide excellent care for your animals. I have fenced yard in which I clean up after them in. I show them the love they deserve inside the home. When I take them for a walk I always have them leashed in case of anything, such as other dogs that may be aggressive.
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.
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
“The sitter was very welcoming upon arrival. Offered me a tour of the home. Sent lots of videos and photos and constantly kept me in the loop. My Mochi boy was taken well care of and I would do it again.”
About: I grew up with pets and frequently help out friends and family with the care of their fur babies. I have the sweetest 10 year old German Shepard mix who is full of energy and loves to snuggle. I can't wait to meet and care for your fur babies (I can even give them a bath for you!) I am available in the mornings and evenings for drop in visits, walks and playtime with your fur babies! I also have availability to board your pup in my home on the weekend! The safety of your pet and personal property is the top priority. My aim as a pet care taker is to make your life easier while providing your pet some love and fun while you are at work or vacation! I am able to follow any specific needs you and your pet may have.
About: I have owned dogs for 12+ years now and just LOVE animals. Some of my own pets have had medical issues (seizures, blindness, heart issues) so I am very familiar with how to care with not only healthy pets but ones with medical needs as well. We have fostered puppies for a local rescue, so we are also familiar with how to handle the hyper activity of a new family member. I have a full time job, but we do come home during lunch to check on our babies and take them out to potty. We are usually home all evening so your fur baby will not be alone after we get out of work. If you are looking into my dog walking services, that can be completed right after work, for however long you need the services. I have a fully fenced yard and my dogs are never left outside unattended. My wife and I care deeply about our own dogs and would put the same care and love into your dogs as well. Our dogs are not crate trained and are allowed to roam the house during the day, but we could crate your dog if that is what you prefer.
“Morgan was fantastic! She was very communicative while we were gone. She met with me at a park for a meet and greet prior to our vacation which made me feel super comfortable. Highly recommend!”

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.
