“James and Mary are wonderful! They took such great care of Hoosier while we were away and always kept us updated with how he was doing with daily pictures! I felt at ease and was able to relax while on vacation knowing he was in such great hands. Big thank you to them for being so wonderful and looking forward to the next time Hoosier spends some time with James and Mary!”
“Curtis and Lindsay were great, sharing pictures and communicating the whole time we were away. Our pup appeared content, happy and tired out when we brought her home. Would definitely recommend!”
“My dog had so much fun while I was on vacation. It is like he was on a vacation of his own. They cared for my dog like he was their dog and even sent me updates. This was the longest I left my dog with someone and I was comfortable the whole time. I highly recommend Rodney and Marissa and will return in the future. Thank you again!”
“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.”
“Foxy had a great stay and I am so grateful for the care he received during this longer stay. Ken, Tyler, and family gave him needed boundaries and socialization--I hope he can stay with them again to keep growing into the less anxious soul he can be :). I looked forward to receiving photos every day and knew Foxy was in excellent hands. THANK YOU!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter with our pups!!!! Daily updates and pictures!!! Was wonderful in making us feel like our babies were in good hands!!!!”
“Lingli was an amazing sitter and cared for my sweet boy with so much care and compassion. While away for a week, I was sent tons of photos and videos during Dill’s stay. I highly recommend Lingli and will definitely continue using services in the future. I know that while I am away, my sweet boy will be in great hands, in a safe environment.”
“I couldn’t have asked for better care for our dog, Frankie, while we were away! He was loved on, spoiled and well cared for and I know he enjoyed his stay during HIS little vacation! Theresa was amazing at communicating and sending photos all weekend which really helped put me at ease. We are looking forward to Frankie’s next vacation at Theresa’s!”
“Amazing!!! Samantha and her family watched our corgi, Momo, for two whole weeks. We got daily pictures and videos and updates, which we LOVED. She took great care of him and treated him like her own <3 He really fell in love with them (and with Winston, their friendly family dog). I’m not sure Momo wanted to come home hahaha. Best experience I could’ve asked for!”
“Mila was so super duper! She is beyond excellent! She cared so greatly for my little yorkie and was dedicated to making him feel at home. Lincoln loved her and she provided plenty of pictures of his happiness. Again, she is a excellent dog sitter!”
“Lora and her family were absolutely amazing! Leo had the best time playing in their backyard and spending time with them. Lora kept me up-to-date on Leo every day. Lora is going to be our regular sitter going forward! We are so happy to have found her!! Thanks again Lora!”
“Niko had a great night with Karen and her family! He was a little anxious to start, but Karen took him on a walk right away to calm his nerves which made a huge difference. She sent a few updates and pictures throughout the evening. When we picked up Niko, he was SO calm compared to when we pick him up from a kennel. That is proof in itself that Niko had a wonderful time. We’ll definitely be boarding with Karen and her family again as long as they’ll have Niko!”
“Jena did a great job. I had total peace of mind while my dog was with her. I got cute updates throughout, and she was very professional and took excellent care of my pup. Her house and yard are so fun and perfect for dogs. I’ll definitely be using her again and highly recommend her services!”
“Brittanie and Ryan took great care of our dog, Gunnar! They sent pictures of him every day. He was a happy dog. Their family was very welcoming and easy to work with. We would definitely use them again!”
“Casey and Marwa were so great! After a thorough and thoughtful meet and greet, they watched my Lulu for the night while we moved. It was a great first experience leaving my pup with someone not family. They always make sure someone is home with the pups and sent lots of updates. Kevin was a total gentleman and Lulu was thrilled that he shared his favorite spots with her. Lulu can’t wait to go back in a few weeks and I can travel easy knowing she’s being taken such good care of!”

Megan was very responsive during booking. Communication was clear and easy. She was able to accommodate a slight modification of our drop off time after our plans had to change. I really appreciated the photos and updates. she sent each day. It was nice knowing our pup was in such good care.
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!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Eldersburg on Rover is $49.93 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 Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
93% of Eldersburg sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Eldersburg landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Eldersburg home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Eldersburg.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Eldersburg sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 MD ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
