“Lark took wonderful care of our pups for two weeks, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! Her home was clean, comfortable, and welcoming, and it was clear that our dogs were well cared for and treated like part of the family. Lark also shared photos and videos with us every day, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable person to watch their dogs!”
“Avery is absolutely wonderful! She’s so sweet and caring, and my dog Munch loves going to her house. He felt comfortable right away and got along perfectly with her cats—no issues at all. It’s clear that Avery has a natural way with animals and provides a warm, welcoming environment. I always feel at ease knowing Munch is happy and well cared for with her. Highly recommend!”
“Shelby was awesome. Got in touch with her at the last minute to watch my baby and she went above and beyond to help me. LJ seemed to love her and I felt so safe leaving her with Shelby. Will definitely ask Shelby to watch her again if I am ever in the area. Thank you again Shelby. Gave this fur baby Mom a peace of mind while I was away”

About: I pride myself on being dependable, communicating regularly with pet parents through updates and photos, and following each pet’s routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to provide not only exceptional care for your pets but also peace of mind for you. Pet care is a meaningful part of my weekly routine. I set aside time each day for walks, feeding, playtime, exercise, and companionship. I am dependable, flexible, and committed to providing safe, loving, and attentive care that keeps every pet happy, comfortable, and following their normal routine. I follow each pet’s routine with feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. I provide a safe, clean environment and regular updates.
“Lilia and Bruno took excellent care of Pippa while we were out of town for over a week. She became fast friends with their pup and I got regular pictures of the adventures Pippa went on. The only negative is Pippa is a bit depressed now that she isn’t around her friend! Great experience and will definitely use Lilia and Bruno’s service again!”
About: I've been caring for animals since I was able to. When my family was away, I cared for five dogs, one cat, two guinea pigs, and a fish. I've also looked after goats and chickens. I have a full-time job, but I will make time for your furry friend. I currently work a full time job so as long as your fur baby will be okay for a few hours during the days/times i am scheduled to work, i will still have plenty of time to dedicate to their care while you are gone. If your dog needs 24 hour care, I will spend the time with them and take pictures to show you how your fur babies are doing. I can also do a meet and greet with you and your fur babies to see if we get along.
About: Dog sitting is a hobby of mine, I have done this for roughly 8 years for friends & family, excited to extent my services to new clients. Pet care is a regular part of my routine, even with my full-time job from 7 to 4. In the mornings before work, I make sure to feed my pet, refresh their water, and take them out for a walk or bathroom break. After work, I spend quality time with them—whether it’s a longer walk, playtime, or just relaxing together. I’ve built pet care into my daily habits so their needs are always met reliably. In my home, I maintain a safe, pet-friendly environment. I have a fully fenced yard and a medium-sized dog door that allows pets to go outside for bathroom breaks or fresh air as needed, which helps them stay comfortable and active throughout the day. I follow a consistent routine that includes feeding, exercise, playtime, and affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routine and instructions closely. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get enough exercise, and feel safe in their environment. I pay attention to details like cleaning up after them, refreshing water, and keeping their living space tidy and secure.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Arlington
Sean and Jacob are the perfect surrogate parents for your dog when you are away. I felt totally comfortable leaving Carson with Sean and Jacob. They gave me daily updates- pictures, text messages etc., letting me know how his mood was, and so forth. I was away for 10 days. I highly recommend them for boarding your dogs! Thank you guys!
Everything went so smoothly! When we dropped him off, he was a little nervous around the other dogs. With constant communication and updates, we had no worries that he was getting along well with everyone. We were given photos, and we were reassured that he was safe and sound throughout the whole week.
Antonio was great with our fur baby! Our big guy immediately gravitated to Antonio and I could tell why based on the care and attention he provided. He kept us informed via the Rover app and via text message along with daily pictures. We will definitely use Antonio again for future boarding needs and highly recommend him to others.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Arlington can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Arlington 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 Arlington.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Arlington. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Arlington 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 AL 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
