“Yesika did an amazing job caring for my older dog, Mia. She handled Mia’s special needs—medication, feedings, and separation anxiety—with care and professionalism. I loved the regular updates and photos. It’s clear she truly loves animals. Highly recommend and will book again!”
“Linda is fantastic!! She took very good care of our dog Nellie, and was very attentive to all of her needs. We would highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a wonderful dog sitter who goes out of her way to make your dog as comfortable and happy as possible. She is a great communicator sending us daily updates and photos. Thank you Linda we appreciate everything that you did for Nellie!!”
“Izzy was absolutely amazing! My dog has anxiety and is reactive with other dogs but she was great with him. She kept me updated on how he was doing and any issues he had. She took wonderful care of Wally and I’ll absolutely be using her in the future. Genuinely my only complaint is that she doesn’t charge enough for the great service she gives!”
“Kyra had the best time with Aurora and her sweet pup Madi! I was in Europe for a week and felt so at ease with constant updates and photos while I was away! I can’t recommend Aurora enough and feel confident in using her services again next time I go away!”
“Chi took absolutely amazing care of my fur baby. She took him on walks, to the dog park and played with him in her home. Winston is still a puppy so he has a lot of energy. Chi kept him entertained by playing with him and throwing his favorite toy around so he could fetch it. If you need an awesome, attentive caregiver Chi is your person.”
“Julie was amazing! She sent us pictures of Pepés adventures and told us about all the fun things they did. It was like a luxury vacation for pepé, he loved it. We will be return customers!”
“Francois was extremely communicative and took great care of our pup while we were traveling. He made me feel confident that she was well cared for and loved while we were gone. She returned home happy and healthy.”
“I am very glad I found John, as he was such a caring & attentive & calm sitter for slightly anxious dog. He gave routine updates & pictures to keep me informed of how things were going, & I can tell my dog had a very comfortable stay. I will definitely be booking John again!”
“Lee and family were amazing with our dog! Great communication and he was very comfortable with them. We already have our next stay scheduled! Highly recommend. Thanks for taking such good care of him!”
“So caring, kind, and wonderful. They took great care of my dog when I was in a bind, were flexible and understanding as my schedule changed, and kept me updated with photos along the way. Thank you again so much!”
“Kim was wonderful with our dog Ziggy. She treated him as if he was part of her household! I received beautiful photos of him playing with her dog, her walks in the woods, and of him sleeping. I definitely recommend Kim. She has a caring way with her own dogs and my dog immediately seemed comfortable with her and them. Kim made me (and Ziggy) feel feel cared for!”
“They did such a great job that I was genuinely afraid my dog would not want to go back home with me. For context, my dog is like a son to me, so I worry a lot whenever I'm away. This time, there was no need. I got detailed reports each day of how he was doing along with tons of pictures, which I really, really appreciated. They took him on longs walks, and even apple picking. I could tell he had a great time. Thank you so much for everything! I'll make sure to reach out again for our next vacation.”
“"I cannot recommend Patrick enough as a dog sitter. From the moment we confirmed our reservation with him, I knew we were in good hands. As a first-time user of Rover, I had my fair share of concerns, but Patrick quickly alleviated them with his professionalism and attentiveness. While my son was primarily looking after our dog during our vacation, he had to leave for a work trip before our return. Patrick's location was a blessing in disguise, as it was incredibly convenient for my son to drop off our beloved nine-year-old Portuguese water dog, Kismet, on his way to the airport. Upon our arrival back home, we were able to pick up Kismet directly on our route home with the help of an Uber, thanks to Patrick's thoughtful planning. Throughout the entire process, Patrick was accommodating, reassuring, and truly went above and beyond to ensure Kismet's well-being and our peace of mind. It was evident that Kismet was well cared for and content in Patrick's care. Without a doubt, I will not hesitate to entrust Patrick with Kismet's care again in the future. His dedication, reliability, and genuine love for animals make him a standout dog sitter, and I am grateful to have found such a trustworthy and caring individual to look after our furry family member. Thank you, Patric, for your exceptional service and for providing us with peace of mind during our time away."”
“Olive again had a wonderful time. She was happy to see Andrew ad entirely at home, sitting by the fireplace in her bed within minutes. Also Andrew was meticulous in following her meal and walk schedule.”
“Christina was amazing! I booked last minute and she was eager to take care of Beru for the weekend. She sent lots of photo updates. Beru has some quirks and Christina was more than capable and happy to accommodate Beru’s personality. Would 100% book with her again!”
“Maddy was so wonderful with my dog Jester!! We got tons of pictures and videos and you could tell how happy Jester was staying there. I was assured the whole time that my dog was well taken care of. We will use her again!”
“Gibson had a wonderful time with Stefan! He had plenty of time to socialize outside with the other dogs and snuggle inside at bedtime. I especially appreciated the frequent updates.”
“Isabella was extremely responsive and communicative! She took on a tall task of watching after not only my dog, Muzzy, but 3 other dogs simultaneously, all while also taking care of her baby. Isabella kept us updated with videos throughout the day. I would definitely ask Isabella to care for Muzzy again in the future.”

★★★★★ Maia was wonderful with Chester and incredibly accommodating when my plans changed unexpectedly. She communicated clearly, kept me updated, and was calm and attentive with him throughout his stay. Chester can be shy in a new environment and needs to remain securely leashed outdoors, and Maia handled all of that thoughtfully and responsibly. She was also very flexible with pickup timing, which helped me tremendously during a stressful move. I would absolutely trust her with Chester again and highly recommend her.
Kathy is such a wonderfully warm person and even though my dog is used to his space and alone time, I had no reservations about leaving him with her and the other pets in her home. She sent photos so I could stay up to date, and when I was sick on returning from my trip, she was so helpful in getting my dog back home. 100% recommend :D
Mee is the best sitter!! She has watched Arlo several times over the past year and always takes great care of him, making sure that he is safe but also so well loved. We are so sad to be moving out of the area as Mee is truly the gold standard for dog sitters. Thank you so much!!
Izzy was absolutely amazing! My dog has anxiety and is reactive with other dogs but she was great with him. She kept me updated on how he was doing and any issues he had. She took wonderful care of Wally and I’ll absolutely be using her in the future. Genuinely my only complaint is that she doesn’t charge enough for the great service she gives!
Mia was great with communication and took wonderful care of Winnie (Winnie is sweet and low energy, but she is a senior dog so needs different care than a younger dog). Lots of great pictures and updates put my mind at ease. I’d be happy to book with Mia & Taowei again
Margaret took great care of Tatum while we were abroad, and we really appreciated knowing he was in good hands. Tatum looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we picked him up. Margaret is kind and has a calm personality. She isn't someone who sends frequent updates on her own, but whenever we reached out, she always responded promptly and sent photo. Every picture showed Tatum looking happy and content, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We're grateful for the care Margaret gave Tatum and would happily book with her again. Thank you, Margaret!
Michiko and Cliff are really great, very responsive and you can tell immediately that they love dogs and have a lot of experience taking in four legged guests. From the meet and greet we felt comfortable having Bella stay with them and Bella seemed calm and happy to explore the house. During the stay, we received daily updates and pictures and of Bella enjoying the stay, making our time away from Bella relaxing knowing she is in good hands.
Kristen was great . I felt at ease knowing my pup would be well loved during his stay . Her home is so dog friendly and well equipped . My dog was cleaner coming home than when I dropped him off , lol! He was exercised a lot and came home nice and calm and hungry ! ( picked him up at dinner time) . You can clearly see Kristen is an animal lover . She also has her own pets , so my pup was never bored or lonely ! Highly recommend Kristen , prices very reasonable.
Junho might be the best sitter in the North Cambridge area. When it comes to caring for your dog, the most important aspect is genuine love and care. You can tell that your dog is having a blast by checking the constant photos and live updates from Junho. As you can see from those photos, it's easy to tell how much love my dog was given during this stay. Furthermore, Junho was really flexible in fitting my schedule, which was out of the ordinary due to having a baby. If you need someone to take care of your dog, it's Junho

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Arlington on Rover is $56.61 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 4,251 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Arlington. About 90% of Arlington sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
