“Idania did a fantastic job with my pups ! I very last minute needed to book for a work trip and she was immediately responsive and happy to help! She sent many pictures through their stay and I could really tell she enjoyed having them as much as they enjoyed being there. We will definitely be booking with her again and recommend you do the same 🥰”

“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!”
“We had a wonderful experience with this dog boarding service! It was my first time leaving my puppy with a boarding service, and I was always anxious about leaving her with people I did not know. This time I did not have a choice, and I was so lucky to find Tiffany. She sent me daily updates with photos, videos, and comments, which gave me so much peace of mind. My puppy looked happy and well cared for throughout her stay, and she was cheerful and relaxed when I picked her up. It was clear she had been in great hands during my trip. We will definitely use Tiffany's services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, caring, and reliable place for their pet.”

“Graciela was a lifesaver. I could not find someone to watch Charlie last minute and I stumbled upon her profile. Well her good reviews were understated. My dog is anxious and somewhat shy but she had a great experience and so did I. She sent pictures and videos regularly and very responsive. I will use her again and I encourage you to do the same. Thanks Graciela!!!”
““I can’t recommend [Dog Sitter’s Name] enough! They took such wonderful care of my dog while I was away. I received regular updates, photos, and could tell my dog was happy, comfortable, and well loved the entire time. It’s such a relief to know your pet is in caring and trustworthy hands. My dog came home with a new hoodie , relaxed, healthy, and clearly enjoyed the experience . Thank you for treating my fur baby like family, I will definitely be booking again!”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing with our pup Romeo! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared so much about making sure he was happy and comfortable. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. We would definitely book with Lauren again and highly recommend her! 🐶💛”
“Simply WOW. I reserved a stay with Naylise last minute for the holidays. She was amazing amazing AMAZING! Excellent communication. Proactively sent updates, photos, and videos. Including one set to music!!! So adorable. I was so confident in her care after one day that I actually let down my guard and didn’t worry or check on my Loli a million times like I usually do while I’m away from her. Tonight I picked my baby up to discover her happy, freshly bathed, and Naylise even sent her home with a new harness, pet bags, and the cutest thank you card! I cried!! I should be the one thanking her a million times over. ❤️”
“Raul watched our Great Dane for 8 days this past week. He was attentive, communicative, and able to accommodate Dawson’s anxiety with a lot of head rubs and walks. I would recommend Raul if you are in need of a pet sitter.”
“I cannot thank Olivia enough for the incredible care she gave my two cats, Minouch and Surah, over the past 8 nights From the very beginning, she treated them as if they were her own. The love, patience, and genuine care she showed gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Her communication was outstanding. Every single day she sent me updates, photos, and messages letting me know how they were doing. It meant so much to know they were happy, safe, and well cared for. One thing I especially appreciated was that she allowed my cats to roam freely around her home without restrictions, making them feel comfortable and loved instead of confined. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets with the same love and attention that you would, I wholeheartedly recommend Olivia. She exceeded every expectation, and I would trust her again without hesitation. Thank you, Olivia, for taking such amazing care of my babies. You are truly one of a kind!”
“I truly couldn’t ask for a better person to care for my dog than Mayra. I get emotional even writing this—she goes above and beyond every single time. Her kindness is exceptional, and it means the world to me knowing Banks is in such loving hands. Banks and I are so lucky to have her in our lives. Thank you for taking such amazing care of him. God bless you, Mayra.”

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.
Shirley was extremely kind and loving to my baby!!! she made my vacation stress-free by taking such good care of my Baby girl who gets pretty bad separation anxiety from me. They are true dog lovers and took care of every issue Baby had, with kindness and love!! Highly recommend to anyone in Miami!!❤️
Navaria took such good care of my kittens! She was very sweet, responsive, and sent me pictures every day. She followed all pet instructions and made this process super easy. Would definitely recommend this great sitter if you’re looking for boarding for your babies.
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!
This is my second time booking with Liora and it was just as fantastic as the first. Liora is communicative, caring, and my pup is treated like family while staying with her. I’m truly grateful to have been connected with such a great sitter and will for sure continue to book her in the future!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in El Portal on Rover is $51.06 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 4,424 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in El Portal. About 91% of El Portal 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 FL 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.
