“Just picked up my pups from staying with Alex for the weekend. They had a great weekend playing with Reese. Alex sent us pics of them and they were so relaxed and happy. They look forward to staying again!!!”
“We booked with her on short notice, and she did a great job. She kept me updated with pictures, was very caring, and made a real effort to get my picky dog to eat. I really appreciated the communication and attention she gave him. I’d definitely recommend her and would book with her again.”
“We would book with Morgan again! She made everything very smooth and Theo (our pup) was definitely in good hands. We were away for the weekend and didn’t have to worry at all about Theo’s stay. Morgan is very responsive and also friendly. Would recommend her without question!”
“This was my first time using Liz And Jeff. Liz And Jeff and her family have welcomed Nola (5 month old puppy) in as one of their own. I have received pictures and videos of Nola playing with their dogs, and entire family and she is happy as can be. I was nervous initially since Nola was so young but Liz had has made my nerves calm down and she understood me. I would highly highly highly recommend them. I was able to relax on my vacation, knowing that she was in such good hands. If I can give them 100 stars I would I would definitely be using them again. That is for sure!!!!! Nola absolutely lived her best puppy vacation with the wonderful family!!”

“Taylor was wonderful! She took such good care of my pups, I think they were sad to leave! Communication was perfect and she also sent lots of pics. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Brittanie and Ryan were absolutely amazing! It’s hard to find people you can trust with your fur baby, but these two are serious dog people. They took Millie in as one of their own and provided her with love and me with multiple updates to put my mind at ease. I will definitely be using them in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elkridge
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!
We absolutely loved having Jingru watch Gamja. He’s almost 2 years old and has a lot of energy, so it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he had her dog, Kai, there to play with. From all the photos and videos Jingru sent, it was obvious Gamja and Kai got along really well and had such a fun time together. She also sent us lots of updates from his multiple walks, and you could genuinely tell how much love and attention she and her husband gave him. Gamja became so fond of Jingru and her husband that when it was time to leave, he did something he has never done before—he actually protested getting into the car and kept turning his head back to see if Jingru, her husband, and Kai were coming with us. That honestly told us everything we needed to know about how happy and comfortable he was there. We joked that they might have taken better care of our dog than we do sometimes 😂. It truly felt like a little “dog-cation” for our furry son. We were able to travel with zero guilt because we knew he was having just as much fun as we were, or honestly maybe even more. Between all the walks, attention, and playtime with Kai, he came home completely happy and exhausted and slept so well. We’re genuinely so grateful for the care they gave Gamja and would absolutely trust Jingru with him again.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Elkridge on Rover is $66.6 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 5,632 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.
