“Our dog Meleys always looks like she's having amazing time with Morgan!! She responds quickly and made us feel so safe leaving our baby with her. Thank you Morgan!! ☺️”
“All I can say is Ken and family gave us total peace of mind keeping our beagle while we were on travel. Ken gave us around the clock updates and pictures of our boy. They treated him like family which is why we trust them. He had plenty of fun, played with other dogs and was very, very comfortable.”
“Lorna was great!! Very accommodating and easy to work with! I got a picture and video every morning! Aries is very anxious but she warmed up and I felt very good about her care!”
“We had to go out of town last minute and Jingru gracefully accepted our request to watch the dogs. We received multiple updates throughout their stay and they came home tired and happy. Highly recommend!”
“Good communication. It sure seemed like our doggo enjoyed herself and came home tired from all the play time! Will be at the top of my list next time I need a sitter. Thankyou so much Shane and Brittany”
“Jasmine was wonderful! She kept both of my dogs over a long weekend and they had so much fun. She sent daily pictures and videos and she was always in contact with me. I will definitely use her again.”
“Virginia and her family are lovely. She took such great care of my Macks. It feels so good to get away and know that my girl is also getting a vacation. She had so much fun with Virginia's dogs and her family. I will be excited to book my next trip knowing I can leave my girl in such good hands.”
“Lingli did an amazing job. She provided pictures every day and I could tell my cat really got comfortable with her by the end of the stay. Will definitely be using her in the future!”
“We had an amazing experience with Megan! She took such great care of our dogs and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and we loved receiving frequent updates and photos that showed our pups were happy and well cared for. They truly went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were comfortable, loved, and sticking to their routine. It was clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. We came home to two happy, relaxed dogs, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book with her again and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter!”
“Elisha watched our dog, Lola, for the first time. Elisha took excellent care of Lola for the 3 days she was there. She kept us posted on how Lola was doing, as well as sending pics. Elisha is organized very good about noticing if anything was wrong with Lola. We highly recommend Elisha and would definitely use her again.”
“Karla did an awesome job boarding our 2 cats for the weekend. She was responsive and provided frequent updates and we could tell our cats were getting lots of love and attention from the photos she provided. Highly recommend for boarding!”
“We booked with Lorenzo and his wife last minute for an overnight stay. They were quick to respond, so friendly, and made us feel very comfortable leaving our dog Nylah. We got tons of updates and pictures. Thank you again!”
“Amazing! - Our dog stayed for a little over 2 weeks and we consistently received updates and proactive communication. We had to add a few days and it worked with scheduling. Thanks so much, will send her back!!”
“Kelly and her husband are simply amazing. From booking to post-pick-up, their communication was clear and timely. During Leo's stay with them, Kelly sent me photos, videos, and update comments numerous times throughout the day. It made a huge difference for me and my daughter (9 yo) who missed Leo very much during our trip. They were so warm and kind to Leo, and I could tell that they truly cared for the pet they were looking after. They took Leo to exciting walks, let him play off leach in their backyard, and cuddled with him. I know they've done all of this because they send me so many pictures. Leo looked very comfortable and content in the photos and videos. I highly recommend Kelly and her husband!!!”
“Odessa took very good care of our dog! She sent updates and photos throughout the time that she had him. Our little guy really bonded with her during his stay and we could tell right away that she cared for him really well. We are so grateful for the care and love that he received from her. We will not hesitate to book with Odessa again!”
“Nicole took a great job of our dog!! She gave us picture and video updates and was very understanding when our flight got delayed and we had to extend our dogs stay! 100% would rebook with her!!”
“Cheryl and her family were super sweet. They took great care of my kitties and I could tell they were comfortable in her home. She sent pictures of the boys throughout their stay so I was never left wondering what was going on. I will definitely book Cheryl again!”
“Megan was wonderful - I would say she went above and beyond. My dog Carter and I had not been apart for a full day or even an overnight since I adopted him in January and I was very worried about being apart from him for nearly a week. Megan clearly made Carter feel at home, listened to the things I told her would help maintain Carter's routine, figured out how to adjust when Carter made clear he wasn't staying in his routine when he out of his routine. They clearly had great affection for one another and Megan sent me many photos and videos showing me that Carter was doing well. It was a great experience and I would want to hire Megan again for a similar occasion.”

Jingru took wonderful care of cockapoo Luna during her stay. She kept us updated with lovely photos of Luna and Jingru’s dog enjoying plenty of tummy rubs. It was clear Luna felt comfortable and well cared for, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We’re grateful to Jingru and would happily book with her again!
We know our dog will always be in good hands here!! We love the updates we get everyday with pics/videos. Robin and her family are so organized and give every dog exceptional love and care :) I highly recommend to go with their services if you want a trustworthy and caring family to take care of your dog!
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Elkridge is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $78 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 5,670 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Elkridge can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Elkridge home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
