“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 great with my Leo. I would definitely be using her again in the future. She sent updates daily with pictures. My Leo definitely had a good time playing with his new buddies. Thank you!”
“Belinda shows love and kindness making her home our fur baby's home. Cindy has separation anxiety and when we get her back she shows she misses us but not that she was uncomfortable. That is all we ask, that she is loved and we know or feel we know that she was.”
“I just have to mention that Judith is the best sitter and caregiver for my dog, Kevin. She takes excellent care of him so I never worry. She sends great videos and updates of his stay. Judith is very attentive to his needs. She’s diligent in her attention to detail and I’m grateful. I will always have confidence in Rover and especially recommend Judith. She’s the best!”
“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!”
“First time using this app and we picked the perfect sitter💫💖 We greatly appreciate the love Ashley gave to our big boy Legend. Hope to have her care for him many more times✨🌟”
“Paige took great care of our dog Maya. She sent us many pictures and Maya looked so happy in them. This was our first time using Rover and we definitely plan on using it again for future trips.”
“Again they were amazing with communication and letting me know how my girl was doing and where very accommodating to pick up/drop off situation. Can’t recommend them enough! As long as they’re available my dog wont be staying anywhere else!”
“This was my first time ever using Rover and leaving Leah with someone while I was out of town, so I was a little nervous at first. Gina did a great job taking care of her and made me feel comfortable. She kept me updated and sent me pictures of Leah, which I really appreciated and helped put my mind at ease. I would definitely recommend Gina and would feel comfortable leaving Leah with her again. Thank you, Gina! 🐾❤️”
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.
“We needed pet boarding last minute for a Christmas trip and Danielle helped us out and did an amazing job taking care of our fur baby! Our pup had never been away from us for more than a few hours and Danielle handled her separation anxiety like a pro! She was so sweet to our pup and kept us updated the entire time. She is the best and we will use her again next time we need someone to care for our doggie.”
“Manuel was awesome. Gave us photo updates while we were away. Made sure he knew how to take care of our dogs before we left and the dogs were well taken care of. Will use Manuel again for our next trip”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Portland
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!
Stefani was absolutely amazing with our dog! She clearly cared for our dog like she was her own. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such good hands with updates and pictures. We would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter!
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.

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.
91% 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
