“Dani was amazing! She had everything already set up to welcome little Blueberry into her home. She was sweet and kind. Blueberry was instantly right at home. Dani took great care of her and sent pictures every day. I will definitely be leaving Blueberry with Dani again when I go out of town!”
“Oreo loves Christina. She is absolutely fantastic! She treated our dog, Oreo like family. He was so happy and well-cared for. Oreo is a picky eater but Christina is so patient to him and always makes sure that he will eat his food. We received daily photos and updates which gave us peace of mind while away. Highly recommend!!”
“Tracy is a wonderful caretaker. This was Rosie’s first time with her. Tracy really focused on my dog, and spent time with her to make sure was happy and having fun. She left me a lot of updates to reassure me throughout the day. I know my dog was well taken care of and had fun at her home.”
“Lisa was amazing!! I needed someone last min due to plans falling through and she was quick and understanding! My baby Arlo was well taken care of and had a blast. I highly recommend Lisa to trust for your pets care!”
“Rachel did an amazing job looking after my dog over a 10-day vacation that I had. She was very communicative and supplied updates alongside pictures for the ease of any anxiety I would have leaving my baby in her care. She also asked if certain behaviors were normal or abnormal for my dog further allowing me to know she was really attentive to how he was behaving and what he needed. Would definitely book again!”
“Kristen was great with our dog Rico. She was reliable, professional, caring, and reasonably priced. . Communication prior booking and throughout his stay was very prompt. We definitely would book again with her.”
“Brad took great care of Cole, who just started walking about 4 weeks ago after being paralyzed for 4 months. Brad's house was immaculate and geared toward taking care of dogs........ will use Brad again”
“Angel is a fantastic sitter for my fur baby. She understands his needs and makes sure that my pet is well cared for, comfortable and happy. She really enjoys being with him, taking him for many walks and providing the best care possible so that his visit is fun and healthy. She is the best pet sitter I have ever met and would not trust anyone else with my pet.”
“If there was the option of giving them 1 million stars, I would. Rebecca and Michael not only saved me very last minute, but I did not need to compromise on any of my expectations. Rebecca and Michael have the perfect set up for taking care of our pups, and do it with so much love. The daily pictures and texts demonstrated the amazing time that my pups were having. You cannot beat their services and you cannot beat their prices. If they will have us again, they will definitely become my pups’ sitter every time I need to travel. 1 million thank yous to Rebecca and Michael. It is a blessing to be able to find someone like yourselves to leave our K9 family members with peace of mind.”
“I call Laura a dog whisperer because my Callie is a very finicky eater and she ate her meals everyday while at Laura’s. Laura sent pictures of Callie every day and kept me posted how Callie was doing. Laura is so easy going and I think Callie felt her calmness. I’m looking forward to taking Callie back next month for another wonderful vacation with Laura and her doggie - Callie’s new best friend.”
“She sent videos of the dogs getting along with her dog several times. I was very nervous because my doodles are rescues. Lucia likes other dogs. Rosie not so much. My dogs are rescues that were bred. They tend to reject males at a point which stops their use to breed. Stephanie knew this and eased my mind. My dogs love her and her family. It was a perfect fit!”
“Mariana was so kind and loving to my dog. She has knowledge about caring for senior dogs and it shows. She updated me everyday and I would love to have her take care of my dog anytime.”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Elkton on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 744 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Elkton. 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.
97% of Elkton 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 Elkton 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 Elkton 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 Elkton.
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 Elkton 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 FL 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.
