“I can't say enough wonderful things about Jennifer, she took such amazing care of my puppy while I was on vacation, and I had total peace of mind knowing my little one was in such loving and capable hands. I received regular updates, photos, and sweet notes about how my pup was doing, which really put me at ease. When I came home, my puppy was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It's obvious Jennifer treats pets like their own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring sitter! I’ll be a repeat customer in the future for sure!”
“Rachel was amazing with my baby girl Ella. I had no notice on a situation and had to have emergency care for a whole month. I got regular updates on his she was doing. I was reassured that she was happy and cared for by a loving person as often as I could think about it. I was adore to ask questions and got feedback quickly. I would definitely recommend with no doubt. Trust this young lady. She’s great!!”
“The way my dog disowned me when dropping him off this time to Lydia’s. It’s his 2nd boarding experience with her and he ran in her home so quick without looking back lol Lydia is amazing as always. Excellent timely communication with photos of your pup 😍, sweet fur baby companions for your fur baby to frolic with and she’s super understanding with last minute changes, for example my flight was delayed (twice now smh 🙈) and she’s made the process so much less anxiety inducing by offering grace in those moments. 💯 repeat customer if she continues to have my running late ass and my obese baby boy”
“Jessica is THE person you want watching your fur babies! She took outstanding care of my 3 month old puppy! She sent photos almost daily for an update on him! Her communication was excellent! I wouldn’t want to trust anyone else with Ody after seeing how much love she showed him! He was very spoiled with Jessica! Thank you very much!”
“We appreciate Jill and Aaron so much! They were so cooperative with us when our scheduling was all out of whack. Such kind and friendly people. We received constant videos of our pup and they let us know how he was everyday! This was our first time boarding with them but it will definitely not be our last! Thank you guys so much”
“Seriously the best dog sitter I’ve ever had!!! Got an update minimum once a day and Kandace SPOILED her. I was sad to leave Winnie behind for a couple weeks but she had so much fun!!!”
“Savana did a great job with Wolverine! She had excellent communication the entire time he was with her. I appreciated the picture updates and I knew my dog was in good hands. We will definitely be reaching out again if we need a sitter. Thank you!!”
“She was amazing! She handled my doggo so well and took such good care of him! We got constant updates and a multitude of pictures and videos. She is very well rehearsed in handling dogs!”
“Maria was very responsive and I received photos daily of my dog. He is the nervous type and I believe she and her husband were both accommodating to my dog in helping him through a nervous time. I am very appreciative of their attentiveness to his needs and care.”
“James took great care of Jaxx by providing pictures and updates while I was away. He kept me updated with feeding times and communicated quickly with any concerns. I will absolutely book with James in the future.”
“Our dog had a great time ! We were able to have nice relaxing family time since we knew he was having a great time playing with others dogs! They sent us pictures and updated us throughout the stay ! Would def use them again in the future !!!”
“After reviewing Heather's stellar credentials I scheduled a "meet and greet" and then told a neighbor about Heather. My neighbor offered to board Schatzi (mini-Schnauzer) for a day while I was having outpatient surgery. I accepted her offer and kept my appointment with Heater intending to take a quick look and leave after 10 minutes. Heather and her husband are a charming couple with 2 large dogs who got along well with my 14-month-old feisty little dog. I was enjoying talking with Heather and her family so much I lost track of time and saw that 45 minutes passed. A couple of days later I told my neighbor that I was going to board Schatzi with Heather since I wasn't sure how Schatzi would get along with her large cat. The photo updates helped alleviate the stress of being in the hospital. Heather seemed to enjoy being with Schatzi so much that I even thought about renting him out. Just kidding!”
“This lady was THE BEST! My Liley is ten yrs old and had never been away from me in all those yrs. She was SOOO good with her. Understanding, gentle, and intuitive to my dogs anxiety/fears. Liley came home and actually turned back to Leslie to say goodbye. It was sweet. I NEVER had one worry while I was gone. She sent regular pictures and updates until we got back. Thanks so much Leslie.”
“Super nice family and took great care of my pal! Very communicative and followed all instructions. Jennifer asked about what she did not know. A whole week flew by and my dog looked happy when I returned.”
“Highly recommend Jonathan to anyone looking at entrusting their dogs with a caring, responsible care giver and loving environment. Milo was nothing but happy whenever I picked him up. He had a blast!”
“I left my older german shepherd Apollo with Roy for a week and it was a great experience! He gave me updates, gave him his medicine as instructed and took great care of him. If I needed a dog sitter again he would be my first choice!”
“What an amazing place to leave our fur baby. Jen and her kids were amazing to our dog. Jen sent me pics of our dog throughout his stay. Great communication too! Will definitely use again.”
About: Hi, I’m Daphne! As a military wife, I understand that life can bring some unexpected, last minute schedule changes. So if there’s a weekend where you have to be away, I’d be more than happy to help watch over your fur baby! As a fitness instructor who values keeping an active lifestyle, I dedicate my weekends to the dogs by taking them out on neighborhood walks, trails, or play dates to the dog parks — so if you need weekend care, look no further! Both of my dogs, Presley and Winston, play well with other dogs but can still be old souls who lay around and sleep all day too. While my husband is deployed until 2027, I want to continue helping out dogs in our community. A bit about our fam: We have a passion for animal rescue and welfare. We’ve fostered, volunteered, and have been active in our animal shelter. I have background handling both small and big dogs, dogs with high energy, and defeated dogs who have had overall rough lives. If we see any dog in need, no matter if it’s at 11pm, in the rain, or running through the roads, we will without hesitation, stop to help give that dog whatever it is they may need. We have come across many strays and have helped reunite them with their families or have found them forever homes with the help of our local animal shelters. Our dream life is working alongside a local animal rescue back home after military life and continuing to rescue & rehabilitate more dogs in need! If you need those “after hours” drop off/pick up times — don’t hesitate to ask! I am home on weekends all day so I am flexible with your schedule. My camera roll is filled with pics of my own dogs so you can expect constant photos, videos, and updates on your baby throughout their time here! What you can expect: I usually keep dogs in their individual crate overnight as well as separating them at feeding times. This is for their safety as I wouldn’t want anything harmful happening to them overnight when I am not watching! They may behave well in your home but in new environments, I want to take extra precautions. The dogs are not inside for more than 2 hours as I let them outside for potty breaks and outdoor playtime often, with weather conditions kept in mind.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Elkton is $35
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elkton
Alex was absolutely amazing with my pup and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience ! He took really good care of her (even gave her a bath before i picked her up) and kept me updated with tons of pictures and videos, all shared in a Google album, which I loved. It made being away so much easier. I was really impressed and will definitely be booking with him again.

100% 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 KY 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.
