“I recently had the pleasure of using the services of two outstanding dog sitters, and I can’t recommend them highly enough! From the moment I reached out, their professionalism and warmth were evident. They treated my pups like their own, showering them with love and attention that put my mind at ease while I we went through a stressful move. One of the standout qualities of these sitters was their reliability, which is a huge relief when you’re trusting someone with your pups. Their communication was excellent; I received regular updates and photos, which made me feel connected to my pups even from afar. What also truly impressed me was their availability for last-minute requests. They were quick to accommodate demonstrating their commitment to providing exceptional care. Their flexibility and willingness to help out were greatly appreciated by us. Overall, if you’re looking for dog sitters who are not only responsible and communicative but also genuinely care for your pets, look no further. They provided an outstanding experience for both me and my pups, and I will definitely be reaching out to them for any future needs!”

Mi Grogu, creo que disfrutó sus vacaciones tanto como nosotros, sus perritas tambien son un amor. Definitivamente volveremos a utilizar sus servicios!”
“Yanexis is the best pet sitter, she loves animals i never worry while I was away she's has excellent communication her place is well kept i would definitely.be going back”
“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.”
“Ivan is fantastic! Our dog isn’t the easiest guy to watch but Ivan has a great sense of humor and care taking abilities. He goes above and beyond if we need extra help. Thank you Ivan!!”
“amaizing as always, Jose us now my go to sitter for when I need someone to take care of Rafa. He was able to take him last minute for boarding after I had to flight for work. Rafa seems to love him which makes me feel super confident that he is in good hands.”
“Yara was great! We needed a sitter last minute and she took our puppy just a couple of hours after messaging her. She sent frequent pictures and let us know he was doing good. And she was very responsive as well.”
“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.”
“Claudia was great with my 4-month-old puppy who had just gotten his last set of vaccines! She sent updates throughout the day, followed my care instructions, and was prepared with her own puppy supplies (e.g. toys). She has great availability and I will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“They are simply the best. My dog goes inside their home without looking back at dropoff and isn’t hurried to leave at pickup. We left her for 17 days this time (the longest we have with Graciela) and you could tell she was loved, cared for and had a great time. Thank you!!”
“Diana has taken care of Lucky multiple times, and I really appreciate her consistent care and attention. She’s reliable, kind, and I feel good knowing Lucky is in her hands. Thanks for always looking after him! 🐾 🐶”
“Niloo thank you so much for your last minute help with Suki! Niloo was so responsive prior to booking and kept me updated all day/night with pictures of Suki when boarded overnight. She immediately made Suki comfortable for her first night sleeping outside of the house and she was very kind. Would highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
“Corina was a great caretaker to my little pup. She was responsive and kind- I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her for the first time. When I picked up my dog she seemed so happy and I can tell she was very comfortable with corina. Thank you Corina!”

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!
Christin was awesome. I recently rescued my dog and he is still learning to adapt to normal life. Although he is incredibly sweet and affectionate, he is vocal and experienced a lot of stress being without me. Christin was very understanding and kept me updated 4-5 times a day.
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!

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.

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.
