“Ginnie took excellent care of Koda during his 5 night stay! She sent a lot of great updates and pictures during our trip to let us know how he was doing. It seemed he had a blast playing with all the other dogs! He felt right at home and it was nice knowing we didn’t need to worry about anything while on vacation. Highly recommend letting Ginnie look after your pet and we will definitely be using her services again!”
“Robin and her daughter, are truly tuned in to the dogs that they care for. They reassured not only my little dog, Piper, but also me! —and calmed my nervousness about leaving Piper for the first time. Besides showing Piper and me the whole layout of their dedicated pet spaces, they carefully checked my notes and expectations regarding Piper’s care and medication, and clearly followed all guidelines. Best of all, they regularly sent pictures and videos which reassured me completely that Piper was having a wonderful time while I was away! I will be completely comfortable and happy to bring Piper back to Robin whenever I need excellent pet care again!”
“Priscilla is AWESOME! She took great care of our dog - who is demanding and spoiled ? - just like he was at home. We could see in all the photos she sent that he was happy and thoroughly enjoyed his time with her! We’ll definitely be calling on her again the next time we need a sitter.”
“This was my second time using this family, but this time I also brought my 7 month old rescue puppy who has way too much energy and is a handful. They handled both my older dog and the puppy extremely well. Neither dog was stressed when they got home. I highly recommend this family for taking care of your dogs.”
“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”
“Alex took great care of my Mini Aussie Tango these last several days, including timely communication and updates! His place with the large enclosed grass yard was perfect for Tango to get her energy out. She really enjoyed her time with Alex’s dog Reese and came home happy and exhausted!”
“Jasmine was very accommodating so that we could meet before the booking, even though it was a bit of a last-minute for a holiday weekend. Cucumber immediately became comfortable with Jasmine and her home. Jasmine send us a bunch of pics of our baby and made us feel very comfortable leaving Cucumber for longer than she's ever been away before. I absolutely would recommend Jasmine!”
“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!”
“Taylor was awesome! Gracie met Taylor prior to her stay, and we felt very comfortable leaving Gracie with Taylor. She took great care of Gracie and took her to the park and to her daughter's soccer practice. We never had concerns and knew Gracie was in good hands. I strongly recommend Taylor if you need a sitter for your dog!”
“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!!”

She kept us well informed with daily updates and pictures and was very thorough in understanding the needs of our German Shepherd. I would definitely recommend booking with her and would love for her to watch Saber again!”
“Charles was amazing. Prince had a little issue shortly before his stay, and Charles was wonderful about making sure he received his medication. He kept me updated and even took pictures of Prince and sent them to me, which I really appreciated. Prince looked like he was having a great time and was very comfortable in Charles’s care. I was able to relax and not worry because I knew Prince was in good hands. I truly appreciate the care, attention, and communication Charles provided. I would definitely recommend Charles and will gladly use him again!”
“Nikki seemed very knowledgeable sweetheart how to take care of our dog's anxiousness and energy from the get go. It helped a lot that she had a fully fenced yard and no pets of her own when we booked her. From meet and greet to pick up, she made it easy for everyone. We specially appreciated her updates and our dog truly enjoyed staying at her place. We also appreciated the tips and other feedback she gave us, as we are first time pet owners and our dog has some unique needs. Definitely will use her services again.”

“Tiffany is absolutely amazing! Drexel has loved spending time with her family and gives her hugs and kisses when he leaves. She sent me many detailed updates and photos and even gave him a bath.

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!

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.
