“Princess really enjoyed her stay at the farm this week. It is a poodles dream vacation with lots of running space and interesting things to investigate. By far the best, was the hugs! Already planning a return. Thank you for your wholesome, loving care! K & W”
“This was the first extended stay with Sarah. Our Yorkie mix did great. Sarah’s background as a vet tech gave us confidence in his care. I know our Yorkie had a good time because we was super happy and excited when we arrived to pick him up and he was calm and relaxed on the drive home. With other sitters, the drive home he has been anxious with heavy panting. Thank you Sarah for your comforting care!”
“Lilly has stayed with Bridget three times now and comes home happy and tired! We get great photos of her with Bridget and her family and she always looks like she’s having fun. We’ve started referring to them as Lilly’s “other family”.”
“Diane made sure our pup was well loved, fed, and felt right at home. She kept us updated with cute pictures and gave her lots of time outside. We had no concerns the moment we met her and would be more than happy to bring our doggie back next time we're in St. Augustine.”
“We were going on a long trip and I new a kennel wouldn't work so after reviewing on Rover I norrowed it down to 3 sitters we met Rachel at a dog park to see if the dogs got along then I took Max for a playdate but when I picked him up I could tell how much they love dogs and how Max like them booked the date on the way to drop him off he got very excited well he loves her and her family they truly love your dog and Max and their dog are best buds Rachel is my go to plus I will doing some playdates so the pups can have some fun”
“So we needed Christine again, and she was awesome again. We had a delay due to this government shutdown with our flight and could not get home for an extra day, she was able to keep the dogs an extra day, no issues. She also sent tons of pictures over thier stay, saw that our 1 dog had a loose molar and informed us immediately, she is very observant and very caring to our dogs. If you ever need a sitter and she is available, hands down she is your sitter. I dread using another sitter if she is not ever available.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Our 2 dogs had a great experience and honestly the big boy is in better shape than when we dropped him off. It was like dog camp for them. Lisa was great to work with, her and her husband are very nice and communication was great. Highly recommend.”
“Amy was wonderful with our 2 dogs. One has anxiety when we leave him but he was treated great and both dogs reopened home tired and happy. Amy was very accommodating and sent great videos and pictures!”
“Kristen is amazing with dogs. Sends me pictures takes him out to play and potty multiple times a day. You can tell she actually cares and has the experience from doing this for multiple years. I have used her twice and will be sure to use her EVERY time. Chester loves going there. And that matters most..”
“Brad is an excellent care taker of my 17 year old Morkie. Lucky is blind and trying to live out the remianing years in the best way possible. Having someone care for him when I need to travel is essential. Brad treats lucky as if its his own. Lucky always is comfortable with his stay there, getting special care and attention. I highly recommended Brad for your pet, no matter the age or breed.”
“Amazing dog sitter. They went above and beyond the service. Coco loved them. I was in an accident in my vacation and they were there to extend my stay. They are wonderful people and a beautiful baby. I didn’t expect the kindness that they showed.”
“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!”
“Laura is a new sitter for our dog and she was extremely kind, welcoming and communicative. She watched our dog twice so far and he happily jumped out of the car and stayed with her! The tail wag says it all!!”
About: I think dog’s are awesome animals and they are so loyal. I love being around dogs and seeing their true personalities come out. One day I would live to have a dog, but I want to wait until I have a backyard to let them run. I work a 9-5, but I am remote. This gives me flexibility to tend to your animals needs. Animals are like toddlers and need a lot of care and attention. This is an important thing to remember for any animal owner. I will treat any animal as if they are my own. Every animal on this planet deserves to be treated with love and compassion. In time of their owners absence, it is especially important to make them feel safe and loved.
“If I could give a million stars it would still not be enough. Danielle is an amazing person who went above and beyond for my pet while we were away. Her pup Nyla is the sweetest, and I am pretty sure my dog is already missing his new friend. Danielle’s entire family welcomed, spoiled, and lovingly cared for my dog. It was better than a trip to Disneyland for him, and everything a pet parent could ask for while away. Words cannot recommend her enough.”
“We have now used Angel for multiple stays. I am comfortable being away knowing our little guy is getting the care and attention he would at home. Angel updates us daily and sends lots of pics. Our little guy is happy when we return, telling me that he had a good time.”
“Amelia and her family were super nice. We had an issue and needed a sitter last minute. Amelia was able to take our fur kid right away and sent us pictures and updates at all times. I definitely recommend her if you are in the St Augustine area.”

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.
