“Marissa was great with our kiddo/pup Sunny. I know my pup had a great time playing around with Marissa's pup as well. She kept us informed with daily messages and pictures. Would book with Marissa again in a heart beat!”
“Ilsa is a great dog sitter! She sent me tons of cute pics and videos of my dog during his stay. She lives in a great neighborhood with a yard which I know my dog loved. I would absolutely recommend her services and definitely book with her again!”
“Andy did a great job caring for Wally! He was very communicative and sent lots of updates. Wally had lots of walks, playtime, and time spent relaxing—and came back home a very happy pup! I highly recommend Andy!”
About: I have 2 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes. I’m comfortable administering medications and have experience working with anxious pets, ensuring they feel safe and at ease. I use positive reinforcement techniques and tailor my care to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Your pup will be in loving, attentive hands! I have completed the Red Cross Pet First Aid course in order to be prepared for any events that may occur. I work a flexible, remote job so I am available to tend to your babies as needed! My daily schedule starts at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 10:30 p.m., but I'm flexible to your needs! I have a large, private porch with plenty of potty spots for your baby, as well as a park within a 5 minute walk if that is what your pet needs. My dog, Juniper, will be a great companion for yours!
“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!”
“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!”
“Yulia took great care of my Barron and always responded quickly to all messages. She was also so kind and flexible when my pickup time was delayed due to traffic! I would recommend Yulia to others. Thank you!”
“Michelle & Michael are the ultimate pet sitters for my young dog, Ruby. She clearly receives an abundance of care, love and attention, as her sweet, expressive & energetic personality is in full effect, which only comes out when she is completely comfortable with people. I feel very lucky to have found them, and they are first on my list! Thank you, Michelle & Mike! :)”
“I would highly recommend Julie. She watched my golden retriever for a weekend while I was out of town. She send frequent updates and photos which I loved. Julie clearly loves dogs very much and that is evident in how well she takes care of them.”
“Frodo had a great stay- enjoyed playing with the hosts' dogs, I got great pictures and video updates, easy to communicate with. Would absolutely use again.”
“Lyn is incredibly experienced with seemingly all ages of dogs and was fantastic about keeping us updated on how Elly was doing. I will undoubtedly get in contact with Lyn again in the future.”
“Andrew was great. He was very flexible with my short notice booking and dropoff/pickup times. He took very good care of my dog and sent me many pictures and updates. I would highly recommend him.”
“Mia and Taowei were phenomenal! They were available for a last minute spontaneous weekend trip and my pup felt right at home with them. Mia sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day which made me feel very reassured AND she even gave my picky eater some chicken when she noticed he wasn't eating his kibble. I highly recommend them and will definitely be rebooking with them 😊”
“Kaisa was AMAZING! She took fantastic care of our dog and sent us incredible photos (one of which we think we’ll frame). She was incredibly communicative and friendly. We’d definitely ask her to sit again!”
“Arnav is great with communication from the beginning and throughout. He provided pictures and updates throughout the stay. His family has a nice fenced-in back yard. He and his family seem to love dogs and have enjoyed our pup. We have a pretty large play pen that our pup is comfortable sleeping in, and Arnav and his family were very flexible with the setup (we set the pen up in their dining room). Highly recommend him!”
“What a relief to have Stefan and his family looking after our two dogs while we were away! We got lots of cute pictures and they were really flexible with drop-off and pickup times. We loved having them there. They came home happy and exhausted--surely a good sign of an excellent puppy vacation! We will absolutely call them again the next time we are heading out without our pups.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arlington
Courtney was great! My girl, Tula, is a big time daddy's girl. She was nervous at first, being without me and in a new place. On the second day, Tula got startled and barked at the neighbor and wouldn't stop. Courtney contacted me to ask how I deal with those kinds of things... The truth is I don't know! I'm a seat-of-my-pants kind of dog parent— I don't always know what I'm doing! I think my advice was something along the lines of "be confident and friendly," which I realized probably wasn't a huge help. At any rate, Courtney figured it out. Within a day Tula was able to relax, meet dogs around the neighborhood, and generally enjoy herself. I never heard about that neighbor again, which I took to mean that Tula didn't feel threatened by her surroundings. That's a testament to how safe she felt with Courtney. Courtney was very attentive to my desires and parenting techniques/methods and she asked lots of questions at our first meeting. She made sure Tula didn't sleep on furniture when I requested, at my request let Tula to say "hi" to other dogs and people even when she seemed anxious, etc., etc. I got lots of pictures and communication throughout the week to let me know that my sweet Tutu was safe and happy. My feeling is that if my dog is happy, I'm happy. Courtney did great and I'd definitely use her again in the future.
Kathy was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was very accommodating timing wise for a meet and greet with her pup. Throughout my dog’s stay with her, she sent lots of photos and updates. My dog seemed so happy to be there and seemed like she had an awesome time. I plan on using Kathy again in the future!! Thank you Kathy!
Heidi took excellent care of my young dog, Pia! At first, Pia was a little bit nervous when we dropped her off, but Heidi quickly sent us updates about how well she was adjusting to the new environment. Heidi would frequently go on nice, long walks that could fulfill my high-energy dog's needs, and she sent us updates throughout the duration of my family's trip. Juni was also a lovely friend to Pia, and it was nice to see Pia make a good friend. Heidi is trust-worthy and professional, and I would most definitely use Heidi's services in the future. I highly recommend her services for any pup! Thank you so much Heidi! :)
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.
Elizabeth was super kind and helpful for our dog, who needs medications and careful feeding. Our dogs got along really well, took walks together, and lounged in the sun. Elizabeth sent us lots of pictures and updates, and our dog was clearly very happy. Highly recommend!
Paul is just the best. He is always the first person whose availability we check when we are traveling. All three of our dogs have loved going to Paul's for a staycation while we are out of town. We get frequent updates throughout their stay and the pups come back to us happy and healthy. You can tell how much Paul cares about animals and how intentional he is in making sure their every need is met. I cannot recommend highly enough! Would give 6 stars if it were possible.
Dan was terrific. You can immediately tell his genuine love of animals. My cat experienced some trama during her time with a previous owner. This experience left my cat quite nervous. Dan was exceedingly reassuring and let my cat "be" and explore at her own pace without stress. I would highly recommend Dan.

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.

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.
