“Stefani was wonderful with my dog Brodie over the weekend! She kept me updated, sent pictures, and made sure he was comfortable the whole time. I could tell he was happy and well cared for when I got back. It’s clear she really loves dogs, and I felt completely at ease leaving him with her. I’ll definitely be booking with Stefani again! Even Brodie misses hanging out with Charlie!”
“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!”
“Such an amazing sitter! She is carrying, reliable, and communicative! Left my sweet girl here for the second time, and once again had a wonderful experience!”

About: Welcome! My name is Kirsten and I am a resident of Portland Tx! I’m originally from Austin where I began my animal care journey. I owned my own animal care service business in Austin for about 4 years taking care of dogs and cats from north all the way down to south Austin. I’ve loved every minute of meeting all kinds of personalities from all pets and giving them the love and attention they need. I’m happy to do a meet and greet with your fur baby. Look forward to meeting you! Pet care is a consistent part of my daily and weekly routine. I currently work full-time as a dental assistant, and I am preparing to transition into dental hygiene school soon. Because I already manage a structured schedule, I’m very organized with my time and make pet care a priority. My routine allows me to provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of attention. I love to take pups on walks In the neighborhood, play with their favorite toys and give them lots of rubs! If there are activities you prefer I would more than happy to add them to our daily activities. :)
“Lillian is truly AMAZING! Ollie loves her so much that he didn’t want to leave. She was very accommodating and even had a meet up before so Ollie could meet her. 10 out of 10 service. We will be using Lillian for now on. Thank you Lillian!!”
“Our pups were super happy, loved running in the backyard and looking at the cows on the other side of the fence. Love how she paid attention to all the details about feeding time/meds. The pups loved their vacation with Judy. And we love that they were part of her family and felt at home while we were on vacation.”
“Paige was so accommodating to our schedule. Both drop off and pick up were easy going. Remi is full of energy and loved playing in the backyard with her dogs. We can’t express the difference there is in a boarding kennel and this home care. No stress what so ever on our dog. She was happy and healthy no worries! Thanks Paige for caring for Remi like she was yours.”
“Megan went above and beyond to make sure our dog was taken care of. Took her to the park and on multiple walks a day. She welcomed our dog into her home with open arms and spoiled her everyday. Can’t recommend Megan enough. 10/10!!!”
“Manuel did an amazing job boarding my two-year old husky! He was thorough in his communication and adherence to her schedule and she made a great transition because of it. I could not have asked for a better boarding experience via Rover.”
“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!”
“Gina was an amazing sitter! Our Baxter had never be boarded. He has a lot of anxiety and we were so worried about his stay, but Gina was so patient and understanding about Baxter’s situation. She made him feel so comfortable that we were truly amazed of how he was so comfortable. Highly recommend and will diffidently be back.”

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 for Dog Boarding in Portland on Rover is $43.05 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 137 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.
92% 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 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.
