“Great experience from start to finish! Cameron was welcoming and easy to communicate with prior to the boarding as it was up in the air the specific dates we needed for Blue. Cameron sent us pictures and even videos of Blue while we were away which was extremely nice as this was the first time Cameron kept Blue. We really appreciate Cameron and will request her again when we’re away!”

“Leslie was great! This was my first time using her to watch Raqqa, and I will definitely be back for boarding and daycare in the future. Drop-off and pick-up were both super easy, and everything was conveniently kept together and ready to go. Leslie kept me updated daily with lots of pictures of Raqqa running around and playing with the other dogs, which I really appreciated. It was clear that Raqqa had a great time because she came home completely exhausted and went straight to sleep! Thank you, Leslie, for taking such great care of her!”
“Heather is amazing and very professional. We had a last min. cancellation and Heather was able to work with me and meet Charlie. She took amazing care of Charlie and understood his big puppy energy. Heather’s communication and organization skills are exceptional and she really eases any anxieties of leaving your pet. We are 100% going to keep using Heather to watch Charlie.”
“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”
“We used Heidi for this first time over the 4th of July and it went amazing! she took care of him like he was her own. Kept him on his schedule and sent constant updates on how he was doing. It allowed us to relax on our family trip knowing our fur family member was being well taken care of. We would absolutely use her again! Thank you Heidi!!”
“This being our first time using a dog sitter, it was awesome! Roy was very easy to work with. Communication was on point and he made it very easy for drop off and pick up as we had to tweak the times. He sent us pictures of Lilly while we were gone which was a plus. You can definitely tell he genuinely cares and treated our Lilly the same as we do.”
“Maria was amazing with George. She kept me updated with photos and videos and was super accommodating when I was late due to a delayed flight. She gave my dog all the love and attention and I’m so grateful to have someone so kind take care of my fur baby. Definitely recommend and 1000% would request again for her to watch my dog in the future.”

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.
