“James and Mary were wonderful! They took great care of our two pups and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout their stay! Our dogs usually come home a bit stressed when we have used other boarding places, but after picking our boys up, they were super happy and relaxed! We look forward to using them again!”
“Our pup was happy to meet Mila and had a fun time. Didn’t even act like he missed us when she brought him back out after we enjoyed some time at the zoo! Thank you!”
“Jena was AMAZING! My dog thoroughly enjoyed himself the week he stayed with Jena. She sent lots of pictures throughout his stay and kept in contact with us. I highly recommend her. She also has a very spacious backyard and there was a ton of play time and time outdoors. Cannot recommend her enough. We definitely will be booking with her in the near future.”
“Theresa and her family took such good care of Arbie. Despite booking with short notice during the holidays, she was flexible with timing and maintained great communication throughout. She sent daily updates with pictures, which reassured us that our dog was comfortable and having a wonderful time. I highly recommend Theresa and will definitely book with her again.”
“Carla was an exceptional host for both my personal dog and family dog throughout our holiday. The daily updates, coupled with the natural and attentive care she provided, went above and beyond, offering more than just peace of mind. I am so grateful for her willingness to accommodate us during the holiday season and wholeheartedly recommend her services.”

“Alex was very responsive and the dogs seemed to love staying at his house, running in the yard, and playing with Alex's dog Reese. He also sent a lot of pics which was really appreciated! Alex--thanks again for taking care of the twins!”
“Julijai and her family took such amazing care of our dog Samson. He was dealing with stress and anxiety in the beginning from separation but within 2 days he was part of the pack. Communication was exceptional and we love the videos that Julijai puts together of him each day to give us an update. It was clear that Samson got so much love from Julijai, as he was very much still wanting her affection when we picked him up. It was such a great experience for us on our first long trip (1 week) and we will definitely be repeat pet parents.”

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!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Eldersburg can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Eldersburg. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
