“Our dogs loved staying with Skye! They got to go on many walks, explore outside, and even sleep on the couch. Skye sent texts with photos and updates throughout the time we were away, giving me peace about how they were doing. The dogs seemed comfortable at Skye’s and I felt fine leaving my babies in her care.”
“Laura took such great care of Stella! She took her on a hike and several trips down to the river to run around. Stella came home nice and tired after her adventurous stay. Will definitely book again.”
“Bounder had a lot of separation anxiety, Roseanne had,him in the groove in one day. She is definitely the one to take care of your fur children. I don't know if Bounder is going to want to leave”
“This was our pups first overnight away from his family. Katlyn was a great caregiver to our Ember and even sent us some pictures while we were away. It was also an added bonus that she had a playmate there which was Katlyns dog Luca. I think that helped her feel more at ease and comfortable. A great place to have our dog and will absolutely have her stay there again.”
“Cory is wonderful!! Our dog is pretty nervous and hasn't been watched by many different people, she did an excellent job of asking the right questions and setting them up for success. They had a blast! Highly recommend Cory!”
About: I can administer medications, give your pet a bath, clean up yard poop, and be able to spend time with your pets with lots of love! I have several small dogs, I am with them and care for them daily with lots of Tender Love and care!! Time for you to take that vacation without worrying about your babies!! I am able to come to your home to care for your pets and offer time and drops ins and some quality time and walks to hang out with your fur babies!!
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for pets has always been second nature to me. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience, I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs. Over the years, friends and family have consistently trusted me to care for their pets as if they were my own—whether that means daily walks, overnight stays, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship and love. I take pride in being a dependable, compassionate sitter who creates a calm, safe, and happy environment while you’re away. I have a 4-yr old dog now named, Buckaroo, who is amazing with a majority of dogs. I work remotely for Aya Healthcare, a nurse and Locums management company. I am free to get away to walk your pet, or even stay at your place overnight and work from there. Plenty of schedule flexibility. I provide personalized, attentive care based on each pet’s routine and the specific service requested. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to help reduce stress. I ensure a safe, clean environment, give plenty of affection and exercise, and closely monitor behavior, appetite, and overall well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully, including administering basic medications if needed. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.
“He was fantastic with my two dogs. Gave me updates, including videos and pictures. My girls came home happy and tired. I will absolutely book with Charlie again.”
“Absolutely amazing at taking care of my 2 dogs! Left my 2 Huskies with Moriah for 4 days and she sent daily pictures as well as taking them on walks when they already have a fenced yard! Absolutely would trust her with my dogs again!”
“Emily was so great!! She watched our golden retriever who has a lot of energy and my dog was so tired and happy when I picked her up. Her dogs are so sweet and had so much fun with my dog, and I felt like Emily was really caring and understanding of some diet needs she has. I’ll definitely board with her again!”
About: I grew up with a golden retriever and had a Heeler mix for 16 years that traveled cross country with me. I’ve got great experience with elderly dogs and young dogs alike. My fiancé and I are home quite a bit with fenced yard, but love to hike in the area to make sure dogs get all the exercise they need! I have mornings off, so plenty of time for walks and hikes. My fiancé is a ski coach with summers off and is home most of the day to hang with the dogs. I have a fully fenced yard to play in with plenty of sunshine. Plenty of time spent at home to socialize and exercise! Morning and evening walks close to parks and hiking.
About: I am a passionate animal enthusiast, especially when it comes to dogs! With over a decade of experience as a dedicated dog owner, I've had the joy of sharing my life with two majestic malamutes and an incredible mutt. I take immense pride in ensuring my furry companions are not only happy and healthy but also well-behaved. Beyond caring for my own dogs, I actively volunteer as a foster with a local rescue organization, contributing to the welfare of dogs in need. I find such joy in training them and helping them find their new perfect home. My love for dogs has naturally made me the go-to person for dog sitting and organizing puppy adventures. I firmly believe in the mantra: a tired dog is a happy dog! I have extensive experience in caring for dogs of all ages and needs, including seniors, puppies, and those with special requirements. Even the most rambunctious yet lovable pups are right at home with me. You can have peace of mind knowing your dog is in loving hands and having an amazing time while you're away! I currently work a schedule that provides a lot of time at home, so breaking up the day with walks/hikes/adventures is welcomed! I look forward to making your dog part of my daily routine! I have a fully fenced dog friendly yard. Pets will be supervised while at my house and in my care. Regular outings are provided and I will adapt to the bathroom/feeding schedule on a pet to pet basis. I love training and practice positive reinforcement! I am happy to care for pets in clients homes as well and am willing to discuss what your normal routine looks like.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - The Dalles
Katlyn was amazing while we were in town for a wedding and she watched our pup. She provided ample updates throughout and know that he was very tired and we picked him up after his stay. If I’m ever back in the area, we will definitely seek her out again. Thank you again for going above and beyond and for all you do!
What a wonderful spot and such a kind and gracious couple. Samantha and Colton watched our standard poodle on a last minute booking. Scout loved her stay! She puttered around the farm, played with Mosely, their sweet and cheerful aussie, and was happy relaxed girl when we picked her up. The property is spacious, safe and so cool! Samantha and Colton are in the process of developing a beautiful vineyard along the Columbia River called, The Narrows. They shared a bottle with us and it is fantastic. Samantha kindly told us about the history of the property, showed us the progress they have made thus far, and shared their future plans. I would be thrilled to leave Scout there again and hope to visit once the winery is fully up and running. A great experience all around. I highly recommend Samantha and Colton for your 4-legged famiy member. Five stars all around!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in The Dalles on Rover is $37.74 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 33 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across The Dalles. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 The Dalles 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 The Dalles.
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 The Dalles 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 OR 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.
