“Syieve is a sweetheart. Was able to accommodate me on short notice while away on a work trip. She Came over for meet and greet and was patient with my sweet Roxie as she acclimated to her. She also was very punctual and kept me updated on her visits, even sending pics. I can definitely highly recommend Syieve to take good care of your pet when needed.”

“You can't do better than Samantha! We love her as a pet sitter and will definitely keep using her. She cares a great deal for the pets she watches over and we had complete trust in her.”
“Marie was a life saver. I had just moved to Montgomery and then had to leave the next day for a work trip. Marie accepted the request on short notice and came over the next day! Pickles (who usually hides from everyone) even let Marie pet her! Marie fed and kept Pickles happy and sent me pics and detailed updates daily. I was worried about leaving Pickles so soon after a move and having Marie care for her put me at ease so I could focus on my first conference at my new job. I will use Marie every time I need someone to keep Pickles happy and fed and cares for. Marie also knew when Pickles had had enough of being nice to a new person and gave her space. Oh! And I so appreciated the pics and updates after Marie’s visits. Thank you Marie!”
“Very happy with the job Rachel did taking care of my cats while I was away. Very good communication and always provided updates and photos. Will definitely rebook this sitter again. Highly recommend!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. I’m patient, reliable, and always attentive to each pet’s unique needs—whether that means sticking to a strict medication schedule, handling energetic walks, or offering extra cuddles for anxious pets. I also have experience with basic training and positive reinforcement, which helps keep pets engaged and well-behaved. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to providing a safe, loving environment they can feel comfortable in while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I make sure to plan my schedule so I can give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve—whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles. I’m flexible and happy to adjust to your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment free of hazards, and I follow any specific instructions you provide to keep your pet on their regular routine. I take the time to build trust with each pet through gentle interactions and consistent care. I’m also attentive to behavior and health changes, and I always communicate openly with pet parents to ensure peace of mind.
“Jessica is by far the best sitter we have ever used. She is so detail oriented and attentive to our pups it’s truly comforting when we’re hundreds of miles away. Her rover cards let me know how our pups were acting, what they encountered on their walk (she’s defended our pups from off leash dogs before) and even the food and water levels. I can confidently say we trust her more with our babies than anyone else. She’s truly amazing and I’m so grateful we have her when we’re away.”

I love to play with dogs as well as take car of them like I would with my own dog. I enjoy meeting different types of dogs. I have a smell dog grooming business at home where I also walk the dogs before starting grooming them. I’m really great with dogs I play with them feed they give them lots of love and affection. Dog walking is something I enjoy doing just because I love being around a dog. I also hope one day I have another dog to play with and be with give love
“Each time I’ve been amazed by the level of professionalism my previous doggy sitters exemplified. In this case, Lindsey has set the bar I think many would struggle to reach. He attentiveness and attention to detail was above reproach! Anyone would be elated to have her watch their fur babies! Thank you for an amazing job with my doggies”

We appreciate her help with our cats. Upon planning our next trip, we will contact Summer and request her services. Thank you Summer!! Ken & Olga”
About: My sister and I raised a litter of kittens when we were younger. I learned all about responsibility and how to handle animals early on. I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am available on most days of the week and weekends. I am great with routines, cleanliness, and playtime. If you have any requests and details, like food and litter box specifics, toys, and schedules, I will gladly take notes.
About: Hey there! My name is Bailee and I have 5 fur babies of my own. My daughter and my pets make my whole world go around. I grew up with dogs, cats, horses, cows, reptiles, and so many more animals! Growing up I would always pet sit for family and friends. Now that I have gotten a little older, I even train dogs on the side. I also rescue and re-home animals that need me. While I did not make a full time career out of pet care, I still can’t let it go completely. I am looking forward to adding your pets to my heart! I am currently working part time and will have plenty of time to care for all of your babies whenever you need me. My schedule will eventually change and more days will be added! I have a fenced in yard and have fur babies of my own to accompany yours. I also have crates in my home and could easily crate your babies if need be. For your home, I am open to whatever your normal routine is for your babies.
“She is so sweet to our fur baby! She is always on time and gives us great report cards of her visit. I would definitely keep using her as long as she wants to visit! I highly recommend her to watch over your furbaby!”

This was my first time using this service and I am GRATEFUL to have chosen Antonio. He was patient, kind, and fully engaged with my senior fur baby. Dutch does not typically gravitate to people easily but there was no barrier in care with Antonio. I will definitely be reaching out again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Arlington is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $26 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 180 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Arlington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Arlington. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
