“My doggies love going to Robin’s house! She takes incredible care of my two dogs and she made the entire experience stress-free. Not only was she and her family kind and attentive, but they were also incredibly flexible—willing to take my dogs at the last minute when I needed help. It was clear from the start that my dogs felt comfortable and well cared for, and I appreciated the updates and communication throughout their stay. Knowing they were in such good hands gave my family peace of mind. If you’re looking for a reliable, compassionate, and accommodating dog boarder, I highly recommend Robin. I will definitely be using her services again!”
“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!”
“Liz & Jeffrey always do a wonderful job taking care of Harley! He is always well taken care of, well fed and well rested. They always share plenty of pictures and videos too!”
“This was my first time ever using a sitter for my baby girl, and Morgan could not have provided a better service. She stayed in contact with me during the days leading up to the stay, and continued updating me with pictures and news during the stay. My fur baby came back to me happy and exhausted from all the play time with other dogs. I will definitely be returning to Morgan for future boarding for my baby girl”
“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!”
“Felice and Ken are incredibly nice and sweet. It is always stressful to leave our pets, especially because one of them loves to run away every chance she gets. I felt very safe leaving our dogs with them, we received a ton of pictures which is always nice.They also administered medication to one of the dogs and Felice was very fast replying to any questions. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them every time we need.”
“Theresa (and her daughter) were an absolute godsend! As a 1st time Rover user who needed emergency/last minute extended boarding services, I was very worried about how the experience would go. But by the end of our meet & greet, all my worry was gone. Theresa was excellent at checking in each day, was considerate of any special instructions I gave, & sent hilariously great photos of my dog throughout his stay. I could not thank her enough for all the work and care she put in to watching my dog. 20/10 would book with her again!!!”
“Priscilla took care of my baby Oui for 7days who has separation anxiety, and she was so loving and caring. I woke up with a bunch of images of Oui every morning?she has many experiences with different dogs, and she gives me many advises on how to raise a puppy!!! Both Oui and I love herrr❤️”
“Dolly had a great time during her visit. Shane & Brittany were very friendly, welcoming and took excellent care of Dolly and provided lots of photos during her stay. Would highly recommend them and would book again!”
“Brandon is our favorite sitter for Molly! We were gone for 10 days and despite missing her, we knew she was in the best hands. She sprinted to him at drop off and didn’t look back at us! Brandon sends daily pictures of Molly and his dog playing and walking. We really appreciate him”
“Brittanie and Ryan ensured that both Bodhi and I felt comfortable with boarding him at their home when I dropped him off. They were attentive to him and sent me pictures and communication throughout the stay, which helped put me at ease. They even contacted me before I dropped him off so I would pack extra food in case of a potential snow storm. I’m thrilled that they were our first experience using Rover, and I will recommend them to any friends needing dog care in the future.”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs and cats my entire life and cannot remember a time I didn't love them all. My cat is no longer with me but I still have dogs and would love to care for your pets as I currently do my own. I can handle big dogs and little dogs as well as am willing to clean out your cats litterboxes. I'm happy to tussle with big dogs and take naps with lap dogs anytime! I'm a college student looking for work over the breaks and any pet time over the semester as I'll be away from my own. I'm happy to work around my class schedule to be with your pets as much as possible. I have a mostly fenced yard with the only opening being the driveway but intend to do walks and keep pets leashed just for safety. My own home has two dogs that are great with other dogs, both of them being on the smaller side and great with people as well. When I'm up at school there will be no other pets up there and the space will be fully for your pets. I'm also able to do house sitting, walks, and drop-ins for your pets to make sure your pets are getting love and attention when you're away.
“Taylor took such great care of our dog. She was a great communicator and sent wonderful pictures. We will definitely be using her again whenever we need a dog sitter.”
“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! 🐶❤️”
“Thank you Virginia for taking care of Benson while we were away. She was so nice and passionate about what she does. Benson had a blast during the stay.

We will definitely use her service again!!”

I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Kyury. She was very attentive and communicative. Her location also has a lot of good walking areas for plenty of walking. I could tell Kyury loves animals and wants to do her best to provide pets with the most comfortable, enjoyable time while their parents are away!
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Leaving our newly adopted fur babies for the first time was incredibly nerve wracking, but from the moment I met Alejandra, I knew they were in the best hands. She treated them like they were her own, giving them so much love, patience and attention while keeping us updated with photos and messages that gave us complete peace of mind. It was obvious our pups felt safe, comfortable and truly cared for. Coming home to 2 happy, relaxed dogs meant everything to us. We are beyond grateful for the exceptional care she provided and will absolutely be booking with her again. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets as much as you do, look no further. Alejandra is simply amazing! ❤️🐾
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!
Justin was amazing! He took such great care of Zoie and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. He sent regular updates and photos, and it was clear that Zoie was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Justin and will definitely book with him again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Elkridge on Rover is $66.6 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 5,623 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.
