“Justyce was great with Koda! She was kind, dependable, and took wonderful care of him while I was away. Koda seemed happy and comfortable with her, which gave me peace of mind. I’d definitely recommend Justyce and book with her again”
“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!”

Knowing that Yuki was in such good hands gave me peace of mind and allowed me to truly enjoy my vacation without worrying. Thank you so much, Avery, for taking such wonderful care of Yuki. I truly appreciate everything you did and would happily recommend you to anyone looking for a loving and reliable dog sitter!”

About: We love dogs! My husband was a dog walker for 10 years. Lots of space to play and explore. Rural setting with 2 acres to roam in. Private Lane. Beautiful walks. A fenced five acre field to play in. We have been busy with dog boarding for a good few years now. Have not needed to use Rover yet... We have plenty of time to host and care for your lovely doggies. I am an artist and work from home so my hours are very flexible. We have a spacious house with two separate areas designated for dog accommodation. A very large fenced garden for dogs to play in. We live down a quiet private lane. Reviews available on request from regular clients.
About: I have taken care of dogs, large and small, for roommates, friends, family, and neighbors. Care has included pet sitting, boarding, and walking as well as potty breaks for pets with busy parents. I have also cared for a senior pet of my own as well as a pet with additional needs. I previously helped train golden retrievers for hunting competitions and cared for several litters of puppies. I also volunteered for my hometown’s animal shelter. In short, I love animals and have extensive experience caring for them. I am detail-oriented, caring, and committed to providing the best care for your furry friends while also ensuring that they have a great time! I work with all dogs, from those that fit in the palm of your hand to those that are 100 lb+. I also have a high-energy dog and understand how to care for similar breeds. Please message me to inquire how I can provide the best care for your pet. P.S. Please enjoy the photos of the pups I have taken care of over the years! I am a graduate student at Auburn University (War Eagle!) with a very flexible schedule. Most of my time is spent working from home with classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:00 am - 4:00 pm. I am available to walk dogs and do drop-ins during the week and on weekends (with the exception of Tuesday and Thursday afternoons) and can house-sit overnight on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. House sitting does require a meet and greet first; message me to arrange a meeting that works with your schedule! At your home, I can ensure your pets stay on their routine while ensuring they get the amount of activity and care that they need. If you are also wanting your pet(s) to get some playtime with other animals, I have two friendly dogs who love to play with other dogs and who can play together, whether at a dog park or elsewhere (please inquire!).
About: I've taken care of animals for years. When I was younger I not able to have a dog. So when I could I went to the library and researched breeds of dogs. I was so interested I even went to local dog shows. I love dogs and like cats to so let me take care of your family pet. I have experience with older dogs and dogs with special needs. I am working part-time right now, but I have time to play and take care of your precious dog or cat. Weekends are good for me. Let me know and I will be there to walk, play, and feed your family pets. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs of my own to keep them company. If I come to your place I will take care of your dog and make sure to have their best interests at heart. Whether at my house or yours your pet will be taken care of. I'm working full-time but I am free at 6 and beyond if you need me to come walk or drop-in on your pet. I am free every weekend as I only work during the work. I have a big fenced in backyard that my dogs enjoy with plenty of shade and a shed. The animals I petsitt will have plenty of room to run and play. They will also have loads of playtime and enjoyment with my dogs.
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
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
