“We love sending out dogs to Virginia and Steve. They love on them so much! We use them to watch our dogs every time we are out of time. They truly treat our dogs like their own”
“Liz & Jeff continue to be the absolute best. Our Gracie girl loves spending time with their family and doesn’t seem to want to leave. Liz send lots of pictures and stories about what our girl has been up to all week. We wouldn’t trust her with anyone else. Thanks again!”
“I can’t thank Morgan enough for the exceptional care she provided our 15-year-old dog, Audi! Her attention to detail and genuine love for animals shone through in every interaction. Morgan kept us updated with constant status reports and photos, which gave us such peace of mind. Audi was well-cared for, and we’re already looking forward to booking Morgan’s services again soon. Highly recommend her for anyone seeking top-notch pet care!”
“Felice and her family love our dog as much as we do. It is so comforting to go away knowing that he will be taken care of just like he is at home!! Felice and family are the best.”
“Robin provided excellent care for my dog Milo. This was my first time leaving Milo in someone else’s care other than family and friends and I was nervous and anxious. Robin sent videos and pictures and Milo was having a great time in her care. Robin only cares for small dogs which I like because I have a Yorkie. She has a dog that looks like my last dog that I had for 14 years. Robin is experienced in caring for dogs as shown by observation of her interaction with Milo and by questions and written information she requested regarding Milo’s health issue. I will definitely have Robin care for Milo again!”

“We had a wonderful experience…as always! This was Saint’s first overnight stay, and we felt completely at ease while we were in Mexico. We received updates, Saint was well cared for, and it was clear he was happy and comfortable. We came home to a healthy, happy puppy. We would absolutely trust her with Saint again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter! 🐶❤️”
“Highly recommend, Carly and her family were the best pup sitters! Carly did a great job communicating, sending photos, and taking care of our puppy! We will definitely be using her again!”
“Steven was great! He is very knowledgeable about dogs! He did a very thorough meet and greet prior to BG staying with him. BG had a great time and he sent tons of pictures!”
“William was great wi my two medium sized dogs. He watched them for two weeks. He took them on many walks and sent me regularly some pictures. My dogs seemed almost sad to leave his house when I picked them back up. Definitely recommend him for boarding.”
“Brittanie & Ryan were amazing! I had never used this service before and was a bit nervous. They were great and explained how it worked, and I met them before booking to make sure it was a good fit for all of us. It really was!! I could tell they took care of my dog as well as their own. They sent pictures throughout the week and texted back right away with any questions that I had. I can’t thank them enough and would definitely recommend them 100%! What a wonderful family and they loved Lucky and he was so happy with them and their family.”
“Lorna was great with my fur baby. He is a puppy, so he is still a little hyper, but that did not bother her at all. She sent me updates and pictures and in the pictures, he was doing the same things he does at home so, I know he felt welcomed at her home.”
“Fantastic - Amazing - Wonderful! Yukia was a great communicator from the start. We talked before we brought our rascal over. We even did a meet and greet just to make sure he would take to her - and he sure did! During our trip she sent daily photos and updates, and our kids could not wait to get them every day. I could tell when I went to pick him up that he was very happy to be with her. For a quick moment he could not decide if he wanted to stay with her or come back home. It was his first time with someone else and she obviously took great care of him. There is no doubt that we have found our pet sitter for good!”
“Another fantastic stay with Theresa. Misa is always so well taken care of at her house and I never have to worry. She sends pictures every day and a check in. Theresa and her daughter Lyv are our go to sitters when we travel.”
“Reynaldo displayed outstanding professional dog boarding services. I was a lil apprehensive about trying the Rover app since my dog has a lot of energy. However, this was the best decision I could have ever made. Reynaldo made sure my dog’s needs were taken care of and he also provided me with daily updates and photos while I was away on vacation. I will definitely reach out to Reynaldo to look after my dog in the future. Great job man! Seriously! Thank you again for everything.”
“This is the second time we have left our pup with Katie & her husband. They were extremely accommodating and trustworthy, agreeing to get our dog from our house while we were away. I looked forward to my detailed daily updates from Katie, complete with pictures. We will definitely trust them with our dog again & again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elkridge
Alejandra and her husband have been the most incredible sitters I’ve trusted my Aussie with on Rover. Besides providing a comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, water, and attention, they took my high-energy girl on walks, hikes, beach trips, and other outings, treated her to pup cups, and brought her to dog parks while ensuring safety and peace-of-mind. (All within a single week!) With a lot of sitters, you worry about what weird behaviors or minor health problems your dog might bring home. I had no worries with Alejandra. She is moving significantly farther away from my location in the near future, and the fact that I’m going to ask her to pet-sit again just goes to show how impressed I was.
Richa was an amazing sitter for my dogs while I was out of town. I always get nervous to leave them with anyone, but Richa put me at ease and was very accommodating to my concerns and the dogs' schedules and needs. She was also great with communication, sending me updates and asking questions. Richa even took my dogs on walks and an adventure to see the cherry blossom trees. Cannot thank her enough. Would book again. Thanks Richa!
Sarah is an absolute dream with both of my pups. They both adore her and her husband and love playing in her yard. She is super attentive and sends me lots of pictures every time they are with her. You can really tell how much she cares for animals. We are so lucky we found her!
Brandi and her family took great care of our dog Milo for a short Christmas stay. It was just his first time there but her Rover reviews were very favorable so we felt good about leaving him. Brandi sent photos and videos of Milo playing and it was obvious that they made Milo feel very comfortable, just like part of the family. We will definitely use Brandi again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Elkridge on Rover is $66.6 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 5,579 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Elkridge. 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 Elkridge 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 Elkridge 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 Elkridge 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 Elkridge.
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 Elkridge 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.
