“We could not be happier having Ana & Michael care for our two dogs. We know they were well cared for, and we were kept informed about how well they adapted to Ana & Michael’s home. Knowing your pet is staying in a pet-loving home is such a wonderful feeling. Thank you Ana & Michael!”
“Emily took such good care of our Daisy! We could tell right away, at our meet and greet, how much she loves animals. This was our first time using a Rover sitter, so we were a little unsure of how it would go. Emily put us at ease, by sending us daily updates and photos. She seemed to fit right in to the family routine. We could enjoy our trip, knowing that Daisy was happy, and well cared for! We'll definitely be scheduling with Emily again!”
“This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone other than family. It was a great experience. Lots of updates and pics and they are treated like their own animals. Will book again.”
“Best. Rover. Sitters. EVER. We are so thankful we found Morgan and Jennifer for our sweet old snuggly beagle. They treated him like he was their own fur baby. Snuggles and treats and playtime. We got plenty of updates and videos. And when our family had a medical emergency during vacation, Jennifer and Morgan were more than willing to accommodate us however they could. Thank you!! We are so glad we have a place for Olaf to stay where he is happy!”
“Monica is a good communicator. My dog was relaxed and seemed to enjoy being at Monica’s house. I was concerned as Stella had never been around cats and I didn’t know how she would react. Even though Stella teased the cats, when she got too much, they just put her in her kennel. She got along with the other dogs.”
“My first experience with Katie went very nicely. She communicates well and was prepared and ready for drop-off and pick-up. Most importantly, our Eva seemed calm and happy after her long-weekend with Katie.”
“Fantastic job! Pictures were so amazing! They put my Mind at ease and I knew my baby was getting the best care! Olly enjoyed his time and learned to be around other dogs! Thank you for a truly wonderful experience!”
About: I was the kid hanging out in the neighbors dog house when my mom couldn't find me. Ive had a number of dogs since early on. Currently I have 4 dogs that run our household. We treat our dogs with love and kindness and reward with positive feedback. I would like to believe that people want the best for their pets, and with my care they will be treated as you would or better. I work from home currently and have access to let the pups out as needed. The fenced yard is high. They love the space and freedom of no leash. I have a fenced yard and 4 large dogs that play well with others. I do have a separate space if nessecary to keep them separated. I like to engage with the pups to keep them busy.. Hopefully if we play long enough they sleep well for me and you.
“Such a wonderful family and beautiful home! My pup was very very happy here and I know she was treated just like family. We are very glad we found Emily, and we will definitely be repeat customers.”
About: Our family recently said goodbye to our beloved dog, and our home just hasn’t felt the same without a furry friend around. ❤️ While we aren’t quite ready to welcome another dog of our own, we would love the opportunity to give your pup lots of love, attention, and snuggles while you’re away! We are currently only interested in boarding in our home on the weekends! I am at home all day on Fridays so could take pets after work Thursday-Sunday. We love making pets feel like part of our family! We have a large, unfenced yard with plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors, and we love going on walks together as a family. We’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and snuggles throughout their stay. We’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and whatever makes them feel most comfortable. If your dog is crate-trained and you prefer them to be crated at certain times, we’re happy to accommodate that. If they’re more comfortable relaxing around the house without a crate, that works for us, too!
“Melissa and her family welcomed our Girl Kahli into their home like she was a family member. Kahli seemed to bond with each family member and looked very comfortable in all photos we were sent. We will definitely use her services again!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better person to watch our 9 min old GSD! Molly was quick to respond, sent texts, videos and updates multiple times in the day. Our dog played non- stop with Molly's dog, Goose. Molly asked all the right questions before as to what our puppy needed and fulfilled all! We will definitely be back! Thanks again, Molly!”
“Ralf had so much fun at the farm! Tracie and her daughter took him on adventures and let him explore the farm. He was so happy and exhausted when we picked him up. He enjoyed his vacation as much as we did! :)”
“Our pup had a great time during his stay with Francesca - she brought him on walks, had playtime with her pup, and sent great pictures during our dog's stay with them. Will definitely use again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 219 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 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.
96% 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.
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 MN 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.
