“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!”
“Ms. Janet was awesome I love the atmosphere she provided Charlie my now 12wk old Chion. He loved her, I can tell they had the best of times while I was away. We originally did a meet and greet and from there I knew she was a keeper. I will be using her in the future for Charlie because he really liked being there. She took him for four walks a day so plenty of exercise and fun. When he got home he was out like a light. There was no change in behavior which is key. I recommend Ms. J to all who are looking”
“I had to go on something like 6 trips over the past couple of months and booked Jeffrey every time. He is the best dog sitter I have ever hired. He is extremely flexible, an excellent communicator, kind, and has a great, safe space for dogs to play inside and outside. You will not go wrong booking with Jeffrey.”
“Mary was WONDERFUL. I left my dog with her for 12 days, the longest I have ever been away from my dog. I had nothing to be nervous about as Mary kept me in the loop the whole time I was away. She was great at providing physical activity with my dog which is a huge part of her well being! They have a lot of yard space outside which is great for running around and made me feel comfortable! She was professional and timely with answering any of my questions about my dog. Was receptive to any special requests I had made for my dog as well which was great! I would 100% book with her again if I am going away! Also she sends photo updates which I LOVED!”
“My dog was very reluctant to leave and that's how you know a caretaker has done a great job. Gabriela and her husband both are genuinely nice people who love dogs. What more could you hope for in a caretaker?”
“Yuiko and her lovely family took care of Bailey, our one year old terrier mix. Bailey was well taken care of and it was a pleasure working with Yuiko. We look forward to using her services again.”
“Jennifer has been absolutely amazing with my 2yr old rescue. He’s a nervous little guy and he has done really well staying in her home. She consistently updates me with how he’s doing and pictures. She and her family have been so loving. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Rebecca watched my 9 year old Aussie shepherd for 2 weeks while I was on vacation and I couldn’t recommend her more! She was attentive to her needs and provided lots of updates/pictures during the stay. I was anxious leaving my pup away for so long but Rebecca made my entire trip stress free by how well she cared for my dog! Will definitely be booking her in the future. Highly recommend.”
“I rarely write reviews, but I was compelled to leave one this time as I had a phenomenal experience with Roseanna. She genuinely cares about the animals she takes care of, and I felt confident my dogs were in a safe and happy place under her supervision. She constantly provided pictures and updates, and her house has a big backyard, which is a big plus. Highly recommend her, and I will definitely ask for her care again in the future!”
“Maryori was the perfect choice for our fur baby Bentley. She was very warm and welcoming, and she made our boy feel right at home. He spent his birthday with her and she went out of her way to buy him a few gifts and treats which we appreciated very much! I will definitely book her again.”
“Rhea did an amazing job taking care of Tommy and providing me updates throughout his stay. He was extremely happy from what I can tell, and seemed to enjoy his time with Rhea. Thanks again!!!”
“Emeline was a great sitter for our maltipoo while we were away on vacation for 12 days. Emeline was very welcoming to us when we first met with her, and we could tell she was confident in her ability. Emeline kept us up to date each day with a note and a picture of the days activities, which helped us know our dog was being well taken care of. We will use her again! Thanks Emeline!”
“Jacqueline was awesome! She responded within minutes each time I messaged her and was able to board my cat on short notice. Definitely will ask her to board in the future!”
“Milissa was awesome with my boy. She was very communicative. I received my pictures and updates throughout his stay. I would highly recommend her. I see why she”s a star sitter.”
“Katherine was a absolutely amazing with my dog! I was nervous to board my dog as she is not friendly with other animals. However, Katherine was great and gave Chloe all the care she needed. She sent me cute pictures and videos of my dog everyday which were greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend and use her again to board my dog. :)”
“Samantha was great! Very knowledgeable about dogs. She sent me a picture of her daughter reading Milo a book. Adorable! She kept me updated about Milo and informed me of a health condition with Milo. Very much appreciated!”
“Donte was great with my pup! I was a little nervous to take him to a new sitter for the first time, but the second I met Donte and saw him interacting with my dog all those nerves went away. He, miraculously even got my dog who has a fear of crates to sleep in one! I was blown away. Would definitely recommend.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Elkins Park is $55

**Absolutely Wonderful Experience with Ms. Ilana** We could not have asked for a better sitter for our Bomi. Ms. Ilana cared for Bomi for 10 days, and from the very beginning, we felt that she genuinely cared about her and treated her like part of her family. Throughout Bomi’s stay, she sent us thoughtful photos and videos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were traveling. I especially loved seeing the videos of Bomi on her walks. She never seemed rushed, and it was clear that Bomi had plenty of time to explore and enjoy her surroundings comfortably. Bomi is very afraid of thunder and heavy rain, and there were a few days when the weather was difficult. Ms. Ilana went out of her way to make sure Bomi felt safe and comfortable during those times. She even had a movie night with Bomi on Friday, and from the photos and videos, we could truly see how lovingly she included Bomi in her daily life. We were also traveling to Florence during our trip, and Ms. Ilana shared so much helpful information about Florence with us. Her recommendations and knowledge were incredibly helpful and made our trip even more enjoyable. When we picked Bomi up yesterday, we could immediately tell that Bomi had been very happy and comfortable there. Of course, Bomi was excited to see us, but at the same time, she seemed completely relaxed and emotionally settled. Even after coming home, she has shown no signs of anxiety or stress. Seeing how calm and comfortable she is now makes us feel even more certain that she was very well cared for during her stay. One thing that also really stood out to us was how incredibly clean and well-maintained Ms. Ilana’s home was. Everything was spotless, especially the beautiful hardwood floors. We felt completely comfortable knowing that Bomi was staying in such a clean and safe environment. When we first booked with Ms. Ilana, she already had wonderful reviews, although she did not have a large number of them yet, so we were naturally a little unsure since it was our first time. Looking back now, I can honestly say that choosing her was one of the best decisions we could have made. If we ever need someone to care for Bomi again, I would choose Ms. Ilana again without hesitation — 100%. We are so grateful for all the love, care, and attention she gave Bomi over those 10 days. **Ms. Ilana, thank you so, so much for taking such wonderful care of our Bomi. We truly appreciate everything you did for her! ❤️**
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!
Lizzy took such great care of our big, energetic pups. She arranged a meet and greet beforehand so she could meet the dogs and they could be introduced to her home. Her fenced in back yard is every dog’s dream! She sent plenty of pictures and updates to ease our minds while we were away. Would definitely recommend Lizzy to anyone who’s looking for a home-like environment for their pups while they travel.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Elkins Park on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,301 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.
