“I truly cannot say enough amazing things about our dog walker! She has been absolutely incredible with our dogs from day one. They absolutely LOVE her and get so excited every time they see her, which says everything. She goes so far beyond simply walking them-she has helped train them, reinforce good behaviors, and has genuinely made such a difference with them. She is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, patient, and one of the sweetest people. I never have to worry when my dogs are with her because I know they are being loved, cared for, and treated like they are her own. Finding someone you completely trust with your dogs is such a big deal, and we feel so lucky to have found her. She has become such an important part of their lives, and I would recommend her a million times over to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and truly amazing with dogs! ❤️🐾”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - El Portal
My dog got into something she shouldn’t have in our house when we left her alone and Michelle called me right away to let me know when she got to the house to walk Rita that afternoon and cleaned up the mess for us. She was amazing and we really appreciate her !
Kelly continues to be amazing with Sophie! She is reliable, caring, and always keeps me updated during their walks. I feel completely comfortable knowing Sophie is in such great hands. I highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog walker!
Scott loves my dog and my dog loves Scott. He takes the time to write really thoughtful entertaining descriptions about their walk and he takes even better photos. He could be an author, a photographer and an animal expert. I feel good leaving for work knowing that my dog is going to hang with Scott for a bit. He’s the best in the biz.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your El Portal. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in El Portal.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in El Portal. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
