“Ashley and her husband were great with our dog! He came home happy tired. They were great about having and change in time for pick up when our plans changed. I highly recommend!”
“Lydia was fantastic! She welcomed her home to us with her lovely family including her chickens during our meet and greet. We proceeded to boarding 2 nights with her. Her home provided a warm, cozy and energetic vibe for our Poodle who is out going and craves human interaction. Lydia was not familiar with poodle grooming initially but after a quick demonstration and positive feedback she mastered it in no time. I appreciated her attention to detail, ability to communicate throughout the day and her willingness to learn how to care for specific dog breeds. It was a mutual rewarding experience and she even supervised her children doing obedience training with our pup.”

“Jenna was a great sitter and took amazing care of our dogs!! She also sent pictures and made sure to keep us updated. Jenna and her kids are a great house to leave your pup at :)”
“Priscilla was a very attentive and nurturing sitter. As a new dog mom, I was nervous to have my very anxious pup stay with a sitter, however, Priscilla is very clear and precise with how she cares for each pup, provides numerous check-ins with photos and gives the pups so much love and attention. I would highly recommend her and will be booking in the future!”
“Erin was fantastic! My dog is only 5 pounds and can easily slip out of the front door when someone is at the door. Erin was VERY consciences of my concerns and I was very comfortable with her visit even though this was our first time boarding with Erin. You are in good hands with Erin!”
“Christa watched my 3 pups for 10 days and did a wonderful job. We were able to set up a meet and greet prior to my trip. She sent me photos and updates during their stay, and they all looked happy. Highly recommend booking with her!”

“Cheryl was incredibly responsive, took a last-minute request, and saved my pup from a bad boarding situation. She was able to pick him up and give him a nice, caring home. Sending daily updates significantly reduced mine and also my dog's stress. He is very anxious and typically is very afraid of new places and people, but it was obvious from the updates I was getting from Cheryl that he felt right at home. Could not recommend her enough. Fantastic, all-around amazing, and saved my dog's life.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Eldersburg
We had such a great experience! He took wonderful care of our dogs and made us feel completely comfortable leaving them in his care. He followed all of our instructions, including their feeding schedules, medications, and our special restrictions for Daizy while she is still recovering from surgery. We really appreciated the updates and knowing our pups were happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s not always easy leaving your dogs with someone else, especially when one requires a little extra attention, but he made the whole experience stress-free. We would absolutely trust him with our dogs again and highly recommend him!
This was our first time leaving our beloved Cooper with Liz -- and it happened to be for a long stay, during our trip out of the country, for which we needed someone dependable to care for him. We saw the great reviews Liz had, and reached out. She was immediately responsive, offering a meet and greet opportunity so we could all be sure it would be a good fit, and it was! Highly recommend!
We had our rambunctious pups boarded for 5 days with Veronica and family. We will 100% book with them again and I highly recommend them! They communicate very well, send updates and are easy going and patient with them. Definitely a home away from home for our pups!
