“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A million stars!! Leaving Luna with Vanessa was one of the best decisions. I had to book very last minute and Vanessa was very accommodating and quick to reply. From the pics she sent everyday, I knew Luna was well taken care of, I would book with her again, no doubt! Luna will miss Vanessa and her pup, lila.”
“She did an amazing job, she was a lifesaver taking care of my cat at last minute. He was well fed, happy, and clearly in great hands the whole time. I couldn’t be happier with the service she provided. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of reef while I was traveling. I loved how much reef and PJ got along and all of the pictures and videos you sent me. I will definitely recommend Rafael.”
“Idania watched my dog Delilah for 10 days. She sent me photos and videos of Delilah every day and made sure to ease my worries and anxiety about leaving her with a sitter. I appreciate her keeping me up to date and Delilah loved playing with her puppy Jacob. I would recommend her to any friends and stay with Idania again. Thank you Ida!❤️”
“This was the first time I’ve let someone other than my normal sitter of 5 years watch my dog. I couldn’t have been more pleased with Hannah. She was great with communication prior to and during my time away. She sent plenty of updates and I could tell my pup was well taken care of. It was easy to trust her and I would recommend 10 out of 10 times.”
“Very nice, very caring, she took a great care of my Tequila. Her dog Romeo is so sweet and full of energy they played all day and took naps. Felicia is very flexible with the schedule also, had no problem accommodating me very early in the morning. I really recommend her.”

Angel was absolutely wonderful with Nala and Simba! He kept us updated throughout their stay with constant communication and plenty of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. The dogs looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We also loved that they had the opportunity to play and socialize with other dogs. It was clear they had an amazing time! We would definitely trust Angel with them again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
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!!❤️
This was Lyric’s first time being boarded with someone. Caroline and her sister were both very nice and knowledgeable caretakers. You can just tell once meeting them that they truly care about our pets. Their attention to detail left me at ease. Lyric loves Caroline. She was very attentive to her during the 4th with fireworks. The photo updates were great and reassuring that Lyric was not only okay, but having a great time and making new friends.
Melissa was absolutely AMAZING with my dog Bruiser! You can tell she loves dogs and has a special bond with chihuahuas like mine. She was really communicative, provided updates throughout the stay, and was really accommodating for us with a semi last minute sitting request and when things went south with me getting back in time for my trip she had no issues re-accommodating and staying with my pup a little longer. I feel happy knowing I can leave my dog safely in her care again in the near future if I ever need to head back out of state!
We absolutely can recommend Erick to take care of your fur baby. He’s very polite, professional and great with communication. He gave our baby much love and a great environment while we were traveling. He also has a fantastic back yard for your baby to play. Thank you Erick!!!!
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!
Chloe and her boyfriend were amazing!! She sent tons of photos and videos, keeping us updated. You can tell her & her boyfriend truly love animals. Our dog had an amazing time with them & her corgi Oliver. Would definitely leave our dog with Chloe next time we’re out of town! :)
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in El Portal on Rover is $50.29 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 4,496 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.
