“Rosanna and her boys were wonderful. Super easy to work with and very flexible with pick up and drop off. Our Marty made some new friends and took plenty of walks. We received daily pictures and over all Marty seemed happy and well taken care of. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Yulia and Kevin go above and beyond to ensure communication is clear and reliable. All dogs and their behavior are different, and they know exactly how to handle each kind, and multiple at a time which is super impressive. My pup was so happy staying with them, as was I!”
“Yuiko was an excellent caretaker of our dog for five days. Our dog had so much fun playing in the backyard and she took him on nice hikes. We will definitely book again! :)”
“Pepper was so excited when she recognized Katy's house. It makes us happy knowing she loves Katy & Marco. We're so blessed to be associated with them. This was a long trip too and we received lots of pixs.”
“Super kind and friendly. Made sure to keep me constantly updated on how my dog was doing, took him for walks and took excellent care of him. Sadly I think he was more upset for me to pick him up than he was when I dropped him off”
“Gabby and her family are amazing! Our dog Lola was so relaxed and happy to spend over a week there. Even in the photos we could see how happy she was. Gabby sent us a great update every day, took Lola on lots of walks, and asked a lot of questions about how best to care for her.”
“Ari was amazing!! He treated Genie so well he updated me often with photos and videos and he was so detailed in his updates. I trusted him wholeheartedly and he accommodated us so well with genie I appreciate him so so much and will absolutely be booking him again when needed 🥹❤️❤️ thank you again, Ari!!!!”
“I would 10/10 recommend Jennifer if you’re looking for dog boarding services. Jennifer and her family treats my dog with so much love and care. I have been using her service for almost a year already and can’t think of a better sitter for my dog. You won’t regret leaving your pup with her!! Thanks again for all you do, Jennifer!”
“It would be hard to find a better sitter than Yuhan. She provides text and image updates, and gave our girl the affection she craves. We were worried that three nights away from home would be tough on our pup, but she got along great with the other dogs and cuddled with Yuhan at bedtime.”
“Rebecca was sooooo wonderful!! We did a meet and greet first which was great — gave us some peace knowing how nice the space was for our pups. She was super communicative, sent updates (including pictures!!!) 100/10 so very glad to have found her & will absolutely be booking again next time we need a sitter! :)”
“We are so happy that Veronica was able to watch our puppy last minute when another sitter became unavailable. It was clear from the many picture updates that Veronica sent that our pup was having a blast with the other dogs! He was a tired boy when he came home! :) We will definitely book with Veronica again. Her professionalism, communication, and care for dogs are the hallmarks of a phenomenal sitter.”
“Sam and her daughter took care of our Bernese Mountain dog for three weeks while we were gone over the summer. She was easy to schedule with, and responsive when we checked in to see how things were going. She was thoughtful about introducing our dog to her dog (as well as her cats). Our dog came home happy! I would recommend Sam if you are looking for a dog sitter!”
“My pup is one happy dog after staying with Milissa. You can tell he was loved. Milissa is my go-to pet sitter. Loved that she sent pics before I could even grab my phone to ask for an update. Very communicative.”
“Chazz is great! Zelda is happy and calm when I pick her up, and my mind is at ease knowing that she’s being taken care of by someone that’s kind, friendly and professional.”
“Zyiana is an excellent sitter. Sent daily updates and pictures of my dog. He seemed very happy during his stay. I highly recommend and will book again!”
“Janet is a lovely woman who took excellent care of Grover while my husband and I were away. She sent us updates and pictures and answered my texts quickly. She was extra patient during our introductory meetings and made sure that our little terrier mix who is normally-wary-of-strangers was comfortable being around her and in her home. I highly recommend Janet and will definitely book with her in the future ☺️”
“Jeffrey was extremely responsive to my questions and wrote every day with updates and photos. He was patient with Papaya's anxiety, and madensure she ate, even if it meant offering her handfuls of food at a time. It's the first time we left our sweet goofy girl with someone, but it felt good to know she was in such good hands. Thank you, Jeffrey!”
“Amy was fantastic - we instantly felt comfortable with her husband and her (and, more importantly, so did the dog!). She was very detail oriented, sent pictures throughout Champ's short stay and made sure Champ got plenty of exercise. I also appreciated her policy not to take multiple dogs at once. We will definitely be repeating with Amy - the whole experience was great!”
“We were so glad that we booked with Rhea! She sent updates, photos or short videos each day, and she didn't hesitate to write to us with questions. She has a clean apartment, too, and she clearly enjoyed taking care of our dog! In addition, her dog is also a sweet guy. We appreciate that she doesn't take too many dogs at one time. We definitely recommend her!!”

Gabriela is one of Barkley’s favorite sitters. She loves the whole family and gets so excited when I drop her off. It’s a great comfort when someone loves your dog as much as you do. I never worry when Barkley is there. I’ve already scheduled more time with her because of that.
Lizzy took wonderful care of my dog over a weekend at her house, and I would definitely send my pup to Lizzy’s again for a stay! My dog has anxiety and takes daily medication, and Lizzy had no issues providing her care. Lizzy was very communicative providing updates and answering questions with quick responses. My pup loved spending time in her spacious, fenced in backyard and came home very happy!
Ilana was absolutely wonderful. I get nervous leaving my dog with new people, but she is so caring and well-informed. From the first meet and greet, I could tell Ilana was extremely invested and knowledgeable about pet sitting. She asked insightful questions that helped me fill out my dog's care plan more carefully. During the visit, I received tons of pictures and updates. My dog doesn't always like to go on walks, but Ilana kept me in the loop on what their activities were for the day. I received many videos of my dog playing with her interactive feeder toys or chasing a ball around with Ilana. I felt confident that she was getting plenty of exercise and stimulation during the stay. My dog seemed relaxed and comfortable when I picked her up. I will definitely be using Ilana again in the future!
Jacob was great with our dog while we were away for two weeks. He was easy to communicate with prior to the trip and set up a meet and greet so we could make sure Lacey was comfortable with him and in his home. During the trip he provided daily updates and even bought her a new frisbee when she tore hers up playing. Would definitely trust Jacob with our dog again next time we travel!
Joseph was fantastic with our pooch Ned. We recieved solid updates and a good amount of photos. Ned gets a little nervous at first when he is at a new sitters house, but he quickly relaxed and was hanging out with Joseph and some other pooches. Highly recommend Joseph and he comes and more reasonable price than many.
Jacqueline is the best dog sitter! She had a handful with my rescue Dude, a Shih Tzu mix. He was not medicated enough, because I did not realize that he was not quite as comfortable as he seemed at the Meet & Greet. Jacqueline called us, and we figured out a different medication schedule which did work. I recommend this sitter highly!
Sam and her daughter took care of our Bernese Mountain dog for three weeks while we were gone over the summer. She was easy to schedule with, and responsive when we checked in to see how things were going. She was thoughtful about introducing our dog to her dog (as well as her cats). Our dog came home happy! I would recommend Sam if you are looking for a dog sitter!
Barbara was great with Java Chip! She kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, followed all care instructions, and made Java Chip feel right at home in a clean, safe environment. Barabara genuinely loves the dogs in her care. We'll definitely book with Barbara again!
I can't thank Lindsay enough for taking such amazing care of my 10-year-old dog, Peanut. I had a family emergency and needed to travel unexpectedly, and she accepted my last-minute request without hesitation. This was the very first time I had ever left Peanut with anyone, so I was incredibly nervous. Lindsay made the entire experience so much easier by sending me regular updates, messages, and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She and her family treated Peanut like he was one of their own. They were patient, loving, and attentive to his needs, and I could tell he was well cared for and comfortable. Knowing my senior pup was in such good hands meant the world to me during a difficult time. I wholeheartedly recommend Lindsay to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy sitter. Thank you, Lindsay, for everything you did for Peanut—we are so grateful!
Katherine was an absolute life saver and caregiver to our dog, Mandy, while we were on vacation. She had recently had some swelling due to a bug bite. It was horrible timing to go on vacation, but Katherine had everything under control and made sure to let me know everyday how she was doing. She had to give her medicine multiple times per day and had no problems. I appreciated all of the daily pictures, videos and even the way they included Mandy in their 4th of July celebration. I highly recommend her. And I’m grateful to have found a dependable dog sitter for our next out of town event. Thank you again!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Elkins Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Elkins Park on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,315 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Elkins Park. 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.
94% of Elkins Park 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 Park 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 Park 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 Park.
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 Park 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 PA 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.
