“Guillermo is fantastic. He was attentive to our old pup and wonderfully responsive to us. He is kind and calm, and it was clear our dog felt so comfortable and content. Our dog had an upset stomach and Guillermo was gracious and amazing at taking the extra steps to give him canned food and medicine. He sent great updates and pictures, I wish I had found him sooner and look forward to having him care for our dog again.”
“We left our 1.5-year-old Sheltie with Betsy for a long weekend and she was fantastic! Betsy responded quickly to questions, took our notes/suggestions into account during the visit, and sent us updates/pictures throughout the visit. Our dog came home happy, sleepy, and of course healthy!”
“Michiko and Cliff were great. They sent me pictures and updates every day and took great care of Henry! They were very easy to communicate with. I would definitely book with them again!”
“Ozzi had a great time with their family. We loved to see the pictures of all the snuggling. Highly recommend them and Ozzi is looking forward to his next visit!”
“Zora was so well cared for here! Kate checked in halfway through our dog’s one day stay to let us know she had been walked and snuggled plenty. We will definitely reach out again when we need a place for our pup to stay!”
“Belinda was wonderful with our furbaby and sent us an update each day. She was very accessible by text and easy to communicate with. Our dog got along well with her dog, Sloane, who is a sweetie. Also, she has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play! We will certainly work with Belinda again!”
“If you are looking for someone who will truly love your dog while you're away, look no further than Barb. She provided such peace of mind during our recent trip by sending daily photos and updates. Our dog seemed so comfortable in her home, and he was his usual relaxed self when he got back to us. Barb’s kindness is evident, and we are so grateful for the way she welcomed him into her home.”
“Yang was so great with our dog! We got daily updates with pictures and videos. She was also so wonderful to us, our flight was canceled and rescheduled for 2 days later. Luckily we were able to get out the following night but Yang was so accommodating and kind while we were in a state of worry. Lucky will be back in a few weeks for a second stay!”
“My dog was so excited to go back to Todd’s for an overnight stay. He had the best time whenever he goes there, gets plenty of walks, lots of attention, and comes home such a happy camper. Todd is a trusted sitter for us and I will continue to book with him whenever I need somewhere for my dog to stay!”
“Patrick is so helpful and accommodating! He accepted my urgent booking with just one day's notice and really helped to solve my issue. Pamela was well taken care of and happy when I returned. I couldn't be more grateful for Patrick's flexibility and excellent care. Highly recommended!”
“Mars had a wonderful time with Ann & Jim! They sent lots of photos, took him on adventures at the fells and walks featuring lots of fetch! He was happy to be there and came home tired and happy 🤗”
“My dog Hunter loves John and has already stayed with him a few times. For this past trip when I dropped him off, he ran up to John’s apartment very excited. John always updates us and asks us questions when needed. We are so grateful to have John caring for Hunter. Thank you!”
“Aurora was great with our dog Hailey! She stayed with her for more than two weeks and we got a lot of pictures! It was the first time Hailey stayed with someone else then family or friends, so we were anxious at first. We would book Aurora again, she also took the time to do a meet and greet upfront.”
“Victoria did great with our boy Chaplin! She sent excellent photo updates daily. Really appreciate her taking such good care of our little guy. She's also flexible with pickup and dropoff which we appreciated. We got back early enough to want to pick Chaplin up the night before our booking ended which was no problem. Thank you Victoria!!”
“François was absolutely fantastic. He went over our routine with Atlas and took Atlas for multiple long walks - Atlas was in heaven. François kept us up-to-date on their activities together and was easy to communicate with!”
“Arnav is a very responsible and loving young man. He sent often photos of our puppy where we can tell that he was really taken care of and very loved. He and his family were always welcoming and stayed in communication with us. Our dog is part of our family and I would definitely rebook with Arnav, I highly recommend him. He will offer safety love and communication! Thanks Arnav ❤️”
“Michelle was fantastic! We were lucky she was available to take care of our dog for an extended weekend. Tito came back home a happy pup! We would happily book again.”

Max was fantastic with our puppy, Pickles! Communication was excellent. He sent frequent updates and photos throughout the weekend, so we always knew how Pickles was doing. Max was patient and happy to follow our specific instructions for our young pup (still house-training and needs a leash at all times). Would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him for anyone with a puppy that needs a little extra attention.
Maddy was amazing with our two dogs. She was easy to communicate with and sent lots of updates and pictures. You can tell she is infatuated with dogs and gives them so much love and attention. She also easily dealt with the medications for our older dog and the needs of our young puppy and we felt great leaving the two of them with her for more than three weeks. We will definitely be back!
Victoria was a great caretaker for our dog, Murray. She was thoughtful when handling his reactivity with other dogs/animals and willing to work around his behavioral challenges, communicative with regular updates throughout his stay and leading up to his week-long visit, and flexible with pick up and drop off times. We will definitely book with her again!
After our initial meet-and-greet, I knew Mia and Taowei would take wonderful care of my mini goldendoodle. They asked all the right questions regarding his special diet, medications, and daily routine, which put my mind at ease. The daily updates and photos they sent while I was away gave me total peace of mind throughout my vacation. He came home happy, healthy, and clean. I am so grateful for their excellent care of my dog. Highly recommend!
Andrew was the absolute best with our stubborn yet still timid bulldog Ellie! With the need to find a patient and experienced overnight dog sitter for a 3 night family trip, Andrew felt like an angel in disguise sent (via Rover) to help :) Communications were prompt, initial visit was full of helpful convo and ultimate drop off and pick up was a breeze. During vacation pics/videos thoughtfully sent by Andrew helped ease our worry (as this was our first time ever travelling without Ellie). We are so grateful to have found a caretaker match for Ellie and we look forward to working with Andrew again soon. Highly recommend ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Arlington on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,107 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Arlington. 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 Arlington 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 Arlington 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 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.
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 MA 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.
