“Muchísimas gracias a Noraima por todo, ella es increíble!! Estuvo en comunicación constantemente. Tiene un patio en su casa perfecto para jugar y correr, mis bebés definitivamente disfrutaron sus vacaciones con ella🐾”
“Erick was fantastic with Max. His dogs took Max into their pack without any problem. Max pulls straight into his drive way knowing that he will have a great time. He is already looking forward to his next stay.”
“My dogs love staying with Christin! She takes wonderful care of them and they always come back happy. I feel so great knowing that my dogs are safe when I'm out of town. Thanks again!!”
“I have used Shirley before and the service was great; this time she exceeded all of my expectations when she took all the doggies that were boarded with her on a drive through Christmas Lights community event with lights and music; Seeing Einstein looking at the houses, so intent like he was evaluating the work that was on display brought tears to my eyes; I could feel His excitement. I recommend Shirley without reservation. This is what good looks like! Shirley, words dont seem to articulate how you made a very scary and overwhelming time in my life (lumbar back surgery) so much more manageable because you had Einstein. Thank you”
“Jonathan is the best. He and his family took great care of our little fur ball and made sure to keep us updated with photos throughout his stay. Cooper was very happy and well taken care of. Everything you could hope for!”
“I knew my dogs were in good hands from the second I met Tito! He also kept me updated with photos throughout their stay. I will only hire him for the future. Thank you!!!!”
“Fantastic 1st experience using Rover. My sincere thanks to Rafael for taking such great care of my pup. Great communication, very responsive and routine updates were provided. A+ service!”
“Natalya is a sweetheart and took such loving care of my Gigi. Gigi is a scardy cat and hides when strangers are around. But Natalya had such a soft way about her and felt safe enough that Gigi came out to greet her for pets. I will be booking her again.”
“We’ve been using Corina for almost 2 years now and she has hands down been the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. She’s always flexible with drop offs and pick ups and always sends us tons of pictures each day. She treats our dog like he’s her own and has even cared for our dog when he has had hot spots. We’re pretty sure our dog likes being with Corina more than us and couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with our dog!”
“they are amazing!!! my girl had so much fun and they sent updates frequently! my dog also had some medical issues that needed extra attention during the stay and they provided incredible care! will definitely rebook and highly recommend”
About: I have been caring for dogs for over 10 years, from playful puppies to wise senior pets. My friends, neighbors, and family trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and tend to their beloved dogs in their homes. I pay close attention to each pet’s routines, energy levels, and unique personality. I truly understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved while their owners are away, and I always approach them with patience, warmth, and a deep sense of responsibility. I currently work remotely and study part-time with a flexible schedule, which lets me dedicate meaningful time to pet care. I genuinely enjoy building routines with pets so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away. I'm available for daily walks, check-ins, and house sitting, including longer stays, to ensure your pet’s comfort and happiness. I genuinely care for pets in the comfort of their own homes, always respecting their routines and familiar surroundings. I am deeply mindful of their safety, cleanliness, and diligently follow all instructions from pet parents. I ensure doors are secured, adhere carefully to feeding and medication schedules, and strive to provide calm, attentive, and responsible care because their well-being is my top priority.
“Pam was amazing with our dog Luna! ❤️ she kept us updated everyday and is so friendly and flexible. Luna had a great time with her and would definitely recommend her!!”
“Angelica and Patrick took great care of Snow! They were very kind, attentive, and kept me updated throughout his stay. I could tell Snow was happy and comfortable with them. I highly recommend them and would definitely trust them with Snow again!”
“This was our first time having a pet sitter for our dog and Jennifer made it the perfect experience! We received status updates and photos and videos daily. Since the first day, Jennifer has been so thoughtful and caring to our dog. Our dog loved staying with Jennifer and the snacks and treats! Jennifer was also very flexible with the pick up time. Highly recommend!”
“Gracias a Jose y su Esposa, disfrutamos nuestras vacaciones sin preocupaciones, es la 1ra vez que disfruto sin tener ansiedad de donde lo estoy dejando! Mi Grogu, creo que disfrutó sus vacaciones tanto como nosotros, sus perritas tambien son un amor. Definitivamente volveremos a utilizar sus servicios!”
“Yuleivys did an exceptional job with my baby! She was very responsive and send daily updates. He seemed well taken care of and very happy throughout his time with her and her family. He didn’t want to leave 😂. Yuleivys was very flexible and understanding with me after having a delayed flight and being unable to pick up Lumi at the scheduled time. We appreciate her and will definitely be booking her again!”

Marina is truly a gem! I was super anxious about leaving my dog with someone new for the first time, but she immediately put me at ease. She was so responsive and kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay. She has a gorgeous backyard, and her two daughters took care of my fur baby like she was their own. My dog had such a great time! I couldn’t recommend Marina enough. 🤍
I Left my dog with Sylwia for over two weeks. She sent multiple pictures, my pup got along great with hers, and she was communicative the whole time. They were the best snuggle buddies, which is great for a cuddly and anxious pup like mine. Wonderful and super friendly sitter and I will happily return again in the future!! Would (and will) 100% recommend to anyone in the S. Florida area. Thank you, Sylwia!
Veronica was amazing! She kept mine and my sister's dogs while we were away for the weekend. She sent updates, pictures, and videos throughout the day to let us know they were doing well and constantly being loved on. I highly recommend Veronica to keep your fur babies. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!
I had to take a last minute trip that was planned for my birthday, and looked into any available sitters to leave my precious princess onboarded. I saw Randal and Jocelyn's page and liek that they had so much experience with different breeds of dogs, and pictures too. They were super quick to reply and set up a metting and even accommodated my bydu schedule! Despite my nerves they were super patient and understanding throughout the whole hand off and made sure to check for allergies or any other important information, even down to her usual feeding schedule. Which may not seem that important but once you create a routine with your dog everyday they are used to that cycle and changing it can become chaotic. Will 100% book again, very great handoff too! She was clean and healthy and happy, ready to come home but she looked healthy and well taken care off, and that as a dog mom makes me feel like great, that I left her in good hands!
Our Cocoa had a fab time staying with Leo. He provided updates and photos everyday. We rescued Cocoa from the streets a few weeks before and required boarding before taking her back to the UK - Leo boarded her and he made sure that there was no halt in progress with her in terms of training and diet. She looked amazing when we picked her up and we could tell that she was well looked after with Leo.
I took a chance on a new sitter, and I'm so glad I did! Matteo and his family made us feel right at home. They were very communicative, sending me videos and photos throughout the day. The highlight was watching my dog, Levi, become best friends with Matteo’s daughter. They came in as strangers and left as great friends. I highly recommend them—10/10!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in El Portal on Rover is $53.13 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,399 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across El Portal. 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.
95% of El Portal 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 El Portal 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 El Portal 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 El Portal.
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 El Portal 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 FL 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.
