“Megan was really the best, she and her family really took good care and treat Asher as like their own. She went extra mile on sending update, picture and videos everyday. Definitely will choose her again to take care of my dog because we really feel at ease that our dog is in really good and safe place. Can’t wait for us and Asher to see you again. Thank you for the bottom of our hearts. Your really pawsome! 🥰”
“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!!”
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.
“Jeremy was absolutely amazing! We felt confident that our dog was in good hands. It's a huge relief to find someone we can trust to take care of our dog. We are looking forward to her next stay. Thank you, Jeremy.”
“This was our pet’s second stay with Susan and he got so excited in the car as if he knew where he was! He walked in and immediately ran to Susan to say hello and started making himself at home by emptying the toy basket. He enjoyed plenty of walks outside and we could tell he was def comfortable and had a nice time!”
“Jasmine was able to fit us in last minute. She was great with our golden retriever. We received updates and our pup was calm and happy when we picked her up. 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. She was also able to extend our boarding time when our trip was extended. I really appreciate her kindness, flexibility, and 100% trust he with the care of Drexel!”
“Lingli was so kind and attentive to our dog. She sent frequent updates and pictures that made us at ease being away from our fur baby. We will definitely be booking with her again next time we go out of town :)”
“Fidel and his family welcomed my dog Izzy with open arms. Izzy loved their dog so much I didn't think she was going to want to come home. I got daily updates to ease my worries. I am definitely going to book with Fidel again.”
“Kelly was a joy to work with and she made us feel very comfortable to leave our sweet dog with her. She was lovely and sent constant photo updates. I will definitely leave Mila with her in the future!”
“Nautica was an excellent host for my busy little boy. She kept them an extra day because we've been having brownouts in my neighborhood. She even dropped him off and picked him up. I knew he was going to be spoiled rotten after enjoying a long weekend with the backyard. I will be using her again”
“Karla is the best and my dog is in love! Karla took excellent care of my pup while I was traveling...which allowed me to relax and just enjoy my vacation. She sent so many cute pictures and videos of their adventures and of his epic naps. I already booked Karla for my next trip and Frank cannot WAIT to hang out with her again.”
“Marliez took amazing care of Ozzie. He walked with her Husky Wolf several times a day receiving plenty of needed exercise. Oz was received as part of her family. I could tell from the photos he was really enjoying his stay and looking forward to go back. Marliez paid attention to the nuance of my dog's antics to adjust to him. She is a wonderful sitter”
“Lorenzo took exceptional care of our dog during holidays. He was kind, professional, and communicative. He updated us frequently and also shared a lot of photos which made us feel good. Thank you for being so flexible and kind to our dog during holidays. We sincerely look forward to working with you again in the near future.”
“Lidia took amazing care of our two dogs! Her dog, Saint, is very sweet and playful, everyone had a great time. She was available for a meet and greet with short notice, and was flexible on drop-off and pick-up times. We received many great updates and photos throughout the week we were away. Her backyard has plenty of space for everyone to play, and they also went on frequent walks and hikes.”
“It was great to leave my Gus with a stranger! Gus has never been away from me and doesn't get much interaction with dogs. Malik communicated with me the first night to say things were going well and them followed up the next night with a photo! I highly recommend Malik and will use him again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Elkridge
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! ❤️🐾
I couldn’t have asked for better care for Asha! They were kind, attentive, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I received updates and could tell Asha was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It’s clear they truly love animals and treat them like family. I would absolutely trust them with Asha again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my baby!
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!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Elkridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 5,750 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Elkridge. About 91% of Elkridge sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
