“Jennifer was fantastic with our dog. Very accommodating with drop and pick up logistics and sent us regular photo updates of our dogs stay. Would absolutely book again with Jennifer!”
“Mary and her family took great care of my dog Rory and provided pictures throughout the weekend. Rory was exhausted from playing with the kids, and she slept the whole next day after I picked her up. I will definitely ask Mary to watch Rory again.”
“My dog libbie was spoiled at Leanne's house! Leanne took very good care of her and sent me pictures and updates. Leanne even gave me some helpful training tips to help teach libbie to stop pulling on walks!! I am working on it. I would definitely recommend Leanne for pet sitting and will definitely ask her again.”
“Our mini goldendoodle, Evie, was well cared for by Paige and her family. Evie really enjoyed playing with the other dogs. Communication with Paige was great, too. I highly recommend her.”
“Erica allowed me to book last minute and was accommodating and communicative. The entire weekend Erica sent updates and pictures. I felt so comfortable leaving my pup with her. We will use her each time we need someone for dog sitting/boarding.”
“I'm fortunate to have found Celina when I needed a pet sitter for the weekend! It was a pleasure meeting them, as they were kind and understanding when I expressed my concerns about Otto and leaving him in a new environment. I liked that they spend the time to get to know me and my pup before committing. Smokey is also a great pup, he's so sweet and clever and it was great watching him adapt his play with Otto. It's also clear that Celina and Smokey have a great relationship and love each other a bunch. They do great with establishing boundaries and advocating for the pups when it's needed. Celina also sent me photos of Otto's stay, which were all adorable to see! Communication was easy and simple, which I'm very appreciative of. Overall, it was a great experience working with them and I will definitely book again :)”
“Amanda was awesome! She took great care of our furry one while we were on vacation. Amanda was super attentive to all of his needs. We will definitely book with Amanda again in the future!”
“Birdie had the best time with Chey and her pups! I would highly recommend her for sitting- she communicated, sent great photos, and was so helpful when my flight home got delayed!”
“Hailey was great! She watched our 2 yr old Charlie girl while we were in Newport for a night. Charlie loved her dog Henri which helped her settle in. Hailey sent lots of pictures and videos. I would definitely book her again!”
“Cherylee and Steven are great dog sitters! My dog is a slow to warm type and they were able to get her comfortable and eating quickly during her stay. They were also communicative and kept me up to date with how my dog is doing. I greatly recommend Cherylee and Steven!”
“Our Toby had another great stay with Kyleigh! This was his first overnight and it sounds like he was a very good boy and loved all the attention he got. I received pics and updates daily and knew he was in good hands. I highly recommend Kyleigh, she is awesome!”
“Sharon did an awesome job making sure Cricket was happy and comfortable! Cricket is a senior dog who is blind and challenges with hearing and doing steps so caring for her is a bit of a challenge. Cricket has happy and safe - what more could a dog-mommy want?? Thanks, Sharon!”
“Mattea was wonderful. A truly kind person with great experience, knowledge and a perfect background. We were 100% relaxed, knowing that our dog is in very good hands. And so we picked up a very relaxed and happy dog. We can highly recommend Mattea, five star gold rating!!!”
“Karen was amazing! This was my first time leaving Hazel Grace with anyone other than family, and I was so nervous. Karen immediately put me at ease, sent daily photos and updates, and took wonderful care of Hazel. She even took the time during our meet and greet to make sure Hazel and her pup were comfortable together, and they became instant friends. Hazel had a great time, and I truly appreciated all of Karen’s care and advice. I would absolutely book with her again and recommend her 100%! 🐶💕”
“I had a last minute emergency and Erica came through for us. Very kind and loving family. It is obvious how much affection they have for animals. Daisy did great and I never worried about her for a moment. It was a good experience for us.”
“Jesicca pays attention to detail. She wanted to make sure that she knew my little guy: from his treats and his routine down to the way he likes to play ball. I never worried a minute while I was out of town because she had everything under control. It was such a comfort knowing that my little guy didn’t have to go stay somewhere else, but could stay in his own routine. I would HIGHLY recommend Jessica and her pet sitting services to ALL my friends with furry people. Don’t even worry about stressing or planning for a trip to the kennel, just contact Jessica and take care of your little family. AND, she will update you as often as you’d like regarding your pets and their behavior.”
“Our dog, Bailey stayed with Ashley and John for 10 days. Bailey is 7 months old and I was worried how she would do away from us that long. She did great! They are very caring and responsible people who treat your pet like their own. Ashley sent me pictures/videos daily. They have a great fenced in yard for the dogs to run and play, they took her on walks as well and they have a gentle dog of their own who was a good companion. There were a couple other dogs that came during Bailey's stay and you could tell they were gentle pets too. She loved playing with them which I could tell by the pictures and videos sent. I plan to board Bailey with them in the future, they were great!”

Addison is my go to for my senior French bulldog with separation anxiety. She goes above and beyond to ensure my boy is comfortable, loved and well cared for. My flight got canceled and could not be rebooked for two days and Addison was very understanding, flexible and professional through this unexpected situation. I am so grateful to have found such a reliable sitter that truly loves and cares for my pet and understands his specific needs related to his age and breed. My dog always comes home super happy after spending time with Addison!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Portsmouth on Rover is $56.71 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 854 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Portsmouth. About 90% of Portsmouth sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 RI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
