“I was really nervous about leaving my husky for a week. After meeting with Justin I was more at ease..till drop off day..then it all hit..Justin kept reassuring me that stratus would be fine and I felt better..but when I got the 1st update and I saw him playing with other pups and that goofy husky tongue hanging I knew he was ok. Justin and Stephanie were great with pupdates and communicated throughout the stay. If I messaged they were quick to respond. My boy came home happy healthy and I would recommend Justin to anyone. They provided pictures and messages. I was at ease knowing he was well taken care of. Will be using again as we do have a couple more trips planned”
“First time using Rover, Sharon was great with our Doxie gave decent communication and pictures during our puppies one week stay After the week puppy was happy and showed she had been cared for during her stay. Would use Sharon again for future sitting.”
“Yvonne K was a pleasure to work with. She communicated quickly and clearly. Most importantly, our dog seemed very content in staying with her. I also liked the fact that she has a dog who kept my dog company.”
“Kayla was great and was able to accommodate me and my dog on very short notice. She’s incredibly caring and was great with updating me during my boarding time. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Peter loves going to Geosselyn's house! She sends the cutest pictures of him during his stay there. Peter loves exploring her large, fenced-in yard. Peter comes home well rested and calm. You can tell that Geosselyn loves caring for dogs. We will definitely book again with her!”
“I can't even express how deeply grateful I am to have found someone as exceptionally loving and thoughtful as Patricia to take care of our dog while we were away. It can be concerning when trying a caregiver for the first time, but she completely exceeded expectations and made our dog feel right at home. I could tell from the videos, photos and descriptions that our dog had so much fun and was so happy, even with her tending to have a hard time opening up to new people. Our dog is almost 7, and this is by far the best time she's ever had away from us. Very much looking forward to the next opportunity for Patricia to dog sit for us again.”
“They took great care of our goldendoodle. I forgot to bring additional food for his stay and they took care of it. We needed an extra day of care and that was taken care of as well. Look forward to using again soon.”
“Superb experience in all aspects. Initial inquities, booking process and all communications were expedient and clear. This was the first time boarding for our 7 month old puppy (song with his 4 year old "sister". Alexandra having experience with Great Danes was so very helpful and made our fur babies feel welcomed and loved. They especially enjoyed time with the girls! Unfortunately (for the sitters) the weather was rainy throughout, but Alexandra and daily were up to the challenges of wet pups with muddy paws. In addition, the younger one's night separation anxiety required some medication and thoughtful handling, all of which was accommodated and communicated with ease. The dogs were extremely well cared for and loved, and we received regular updates. Simply put, we couldn't be happier and will definitely use their services again whether for short or week long needs in the future. We recommend them with absolute highest praise and confidence!”
“This was our second time booking with Jill and Thomas, and once again, we had a wonderful experience! They took care of cucu for an entire week. They were incredibly responsive, provided daily updates (which gave us so much peace of mind), and were always quick to answer any questions we had. It’s clear they truly care about the pets they watch. We are so grateful to have found someone we trust with our pup, and we’ll definitely be booking again! :)”
“Our other dog passed very recently and has been with Milo for life so leaving him was especially difficult. We typically board and this is our first time using rover. Barbara reassured us and sent photos/updates throughout our time traveling. Response time and communication was top tier. I could tell he felt comfortable and safe in her home and was happy as can be despite the circumstances. I am so happy we opted not to board. 10/10 recommend and would happily work with barb again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs, my whole life whether they were my own or somebody else’s I absolutely love animals your animal will always be safe in my care and have the best time. I’m currently a stay at home mom so if I leave the house, I only leave to go to the grocery store or to grab the little one something to eat if they want it I have a huge backyard my house backs up against the woods. We are not close to the road at all. You’re dog would never be let outside alone my kids would run around in the backyard with them 💕
“Rackeem is a true professional. He’s knowledgeable, compassionate, detail-oriented, responsive, and kind. We love being able to leave our dog with him, always knowing she’s getting the best care and attention when we’re away. He also always leaves us with great care tips and suggestions. Thank you, Rackeem!”
“Lindsey took care of Sydney for a night. When I was there to drop off, the kids and the family welcomed Sydney and made her comfortable. Lindsey provided frequent updates which I greatly appreciate. Sydney had a great stay at Lindsey's.”
“Mark and Kayleigh were amazing, start to finish, while watching our sweet pup. They both clearly know and love dogs, their house and yard and wonderful and safe for pets. They were attentive to the dog, responsive to us while we were on our trip, and operate with respect and professionalism you’d hope for when letting someone watch over a part of your family. Can’t recommend them enough! Our Shiloh will absolutely be staying with them again on our next trip.”
“Latoya took wonderful care of my Morkie, Cam, for two weeks while I was away. She sent photos and videos which gave me peace of mind. Cam looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Latoya patiently handled all of his little quirks. She made him feel at home. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Latoya again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“Sadie had such a great time staying with Laura. She is very skeptical about new environments; however, she was very comfortable and showed no signs of stress. I will be asking Laura to watch Sadie again in the future.”
“We were looking for someone to care for our Luna who would treat her like one of their own and keep her safe while we were away on vacation, and we found that person in Brittany. Her love for animals of all kinds and sizes is obvious and we are so grateful to have found a place like Safe Hayven Fields. The property is a perfect getaway with a large fenced in yard for running and playing, and the pool for pups that like to swim. Brittany is such a great caretaker, sending us daily photos and updates, even going above and beyond to replace Luna's bed when another pup made a hole in hers! We will be back and look forward to having Luna spend more time on the farm 💜”
“Rita was great! Our first time using Rover and we were nervous since our dog can be a bit needy. Rita would send pictures and updates which put us at ease. Otis looked to have a great time! We will definitely be using Rita again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elkton
Justin and Stephanie (& of course Steve) and the children are all hands on with the dogs. They really seem to love them and care about and for them. My dog Willow was well cared for. I know Justin listened to my direction with Willow about what she likes and ran with it…. They should get 10 + stars ! We will definitely hire them again !
Kayla was an amazing sitter! Very communicative and flexible when my plans changed. Kayla made sure Blue felt comfortable throughout the duration of his stay, and was constantly providing me with updates and pictures! I would recommend Kayla to anyone who wants a safe and comfortable environment for their pets
Justin & Stephanie were so great with our big dog & our older dog. We loved how detailed they were during the meetup and how many pictures they sent us while we were away! We really felt like they were in good loving hands while we were away and they made our first rover experience awesome.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Elkton on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 698 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.
92% 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 MD 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.
