“They were the best! Awesome communication and my dog was super happy with them. They took care of my dog as if he is theirs. I will definitely board him again next time.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Miranda and her husband. Great communication, i got lots of videos and pictures and they were flexible with my times for pick up. My dog was well loved and cared for with them. I’ll be using them in the future.”
“Pam was perfect with my little old man, Dexter. He's 18 years old so he requires special attention and she was able to provide everything he needed, plus extra love! I will definitely be using Pam again.”
“1000/10!!! I had been so busy with work I forgot to book dog sitting days before my international trip. Lillian came to the rescue and was so flexible, and put my mind at ease. My baby Eevee had so much fun and I will be rebooking in the future!!”
“Laura is the Best!! She kept our two doodles when we left for vocation and the dogs where sad to come home. They got lots of walks and snuggles! Will definitely be using her again soon!”
“Susan was the best caretaker for my sweet Mia that I could have hoped for. Mia likes a calm environment and that’s what she got with Susan. Mia doesn’t usually play and eat with new people but she was so happy with Susan, she ate a bunch and I got videos of her being playful. She felt at home, and came back to me happy. I will be using Susan’s services again.”
“Second time having Chase watch Pony and again, he took care of our dog like he was his own. This time it was for 9 days. I got updates and pictures/videos everyday. Pony is very well loved and spoiled when he's there!”
“Harriet was the absolute best. Communicative, caring, responsive, mindful, and just went absolutely above and beyond when taking care of Gnocchi, which is every pet parent’s dream! Highly highly recommend her for any dog sitting needed”
“Alicen was AMAZING with Dan!! Helped us out in a last minute Hail Mary on a Holiday weekend as well!! Could never recommend someone more! Danny played so well with her 2 pups and Alicen kept us very well updated with pictures!!”
“I didn’t expect my cat to do well with boarding. She’s a very anxious creature. A scaredy cat in the truest sense! Christopher and Jennie did everything in their power to make her feel at home, and I know they did a good job because she bounced back very quickly once we got back home, which has never happened with other boardings! She’s been prone to hiding for days after past experiences, but that didn’t happen here. Thanks for taking care of my best friend, guys. She may not have been super receptive to it, but I know she appreciated you regardless.”
“Christy is incredible!! She graciously watched our dogs for well over two weeks while we were in the process of moving. Our pups were well taken care of and we would HIGHLY recommend Christy to anyone needing dog boarding services in the NWA area”
“Kindell was amazing. We were out of state for two weeks and she cared for our boy as if he were her own. He went on field trips with his new friends and Kindell sent us pictures to keep us updated on how our boy was doing. We'll definitely be rebooking in the future.”
“Sharon took amazing care of Franny & Zuzu as always during our 11 day vacation! They are always so happy to arrive at her sweet and comfortable home, and I know they feel loved and cared for by her. Thank you, Sharon!!”
“Theadra and her family were wonderful with my pups! They had a full weekend of play and it was so nice knowing they were safe and happy while I was away. Big thanks to them for their services!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elkins
Luna and Chuck had a great time with Kellie and her furry friends! She sent me pictures of them having fun everyday, sent updates of how things were going, and even worked with my puppy to stop his bad habit of jumping on people. I could tell she was attentive to their needs and their individual quirks. She has a true passion for animals, that’s clear! I will definitely bring my pups back to her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Elkins on Rover is $39.96 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 324 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Elkins. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
97% of Elkins 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 Elkins 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 Elkins 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 Elkins.
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 Elkins 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 AR 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.
