“Yara was fantastic! She cared for my dog Bruno on very short notice, offering a warm, attentive, and loving experience. I was able to book her the same day for the weekend, which was a great relief. Yara and her family showed much care and affection, making Bruno feel like part of their home. Thank you so much, Yara. We would definitely trust you with Bruno again!”

God bless you, Mayra.”

When we picked him up, he was calm, happy, and clearly very comfortable with her, which is always the best sign!!”

You can truly tell she loves dogs and genuinely knows how to care for them. She treated Sully like her own, with so much love and attention, and thanks to her we were able to relax and enjoy our time away without worrying. We would 100% book with Hannah again. She gave us the confidence and peace of mind that comes from leaving your dog with someone who is responsible, attentive, and truly cares about animals. Highly recommend!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I regularly help care for boarding and daycare guests in our home, making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual routine, including feeding instructions, playtime, medication, and senior care. Our home offers plenty of supervised indoor and outdoor space where dogs can relax, play, and feel at home. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I organize my schedule around the pets in my care so they receive plenty of attention, supervision, outdoor breaks, playtime, and rest. I am available for boarding and daycare during weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I carefully follow each pet’s regular feeding, exercise, and sleeping routine. I provide a spacious, calm, and comfortable home with secure fenced front and back yards where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time. New guests are introduced carefully, meals are always served separately, and pets can be placed in different areas whenever they need privacy or quiet time. I follow every owner’s instructions closely, maintain a clean and safe environment, and can use a crate upon request. I also provide regular photo and video updates so owners can feel confident and connected while their pets are in my care.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in El Portal is $45

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!
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!

There are 4,513 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.

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.
