“Justine & Justin did a wonderful job with shandy may! They sent plenty of photos to ease my mind while I was away! Shandy had a blast in the fenced in yard and with their dog Max!,”
“Amber was amazing! Super flexible with pick up and drop off. I had a super busy weekend and was not thinking about our dog at all but Amber made sure to send pictures and updates about our dog every few hours so that I knew that she was okay. Izzy came back so happy and in such a good mood. Will definitely use Amber again!”
“This was my first time boarding Henry with Melissa and it was a great experience. She was so accommodating and loving of Henry. She’s definitely an animal lover. Great communication with me as well. She sent me updates and pictures daily. Henry had lots of playtime and love. I will definitely be having her take care of Henry again!”
“Our poodle had a wonderful stay and enjoyed playing with Cheryl's two dogs. Cheryl sent pics of the dogs and my family loved the updates. We hope to have our dog stay with Cheryl in the future! Thanks for a great weekend, Cheryl!”
“Sarah and Jason were amazing! We are first timers a little nervous about leaving our little guys, but were quickly put at ease. They sent timely updates and pictures and took great care. Highly recommend!”
“Andrea always takes wonderful care of our dog. Oakley is getting older, and she always makes sure Oakley is comfortable, putting rugs on slick floors and moving her bed as needed. We never have to worry about her when we leave her with Andrea.”
“I had previously only had amazing experience, in light of recent experiences they will be the only sitters I trust to care for my pup. They went above and beyond for me on limited notice due to a family medical emergency. They provided myself and my family with such relief during a traumatic experience and I can never fully thank them.”
“This was my first experience on Rover and Kathy made it a great one! I didn’t feel stressed at all about my dog being in her care. She sent photos and updates and was a great communicator. I highly recommend and will definitely request her again in the future! Thank you again! Finn loved his stay.”
“We had a wonderful experience working with Ian. He was available and accommodating for my two Frenchies. They had an extended stay with Ian and his fur babies and were returned to me happy and well kept! Ian kept us updated with information and photos as needed and was prompt to respond whenever we had questions! 100% recommend.”
“Amanda and Ray were so kind and welcoming! They took such good care of Kobi and I could tell he had a good time! Their kids were also very loving towards Kobi! I will definitely be booking again in the future and recommend them to anybody!”
“Scrappy was pampered by Shannah, Nathan and the whole family. We were updated with photos of Scrappy cuddling on the couch, going on walks and happily playing with their little dog, Cleo. I highly recommend them to watch your pets. Sue M.”
“Robert did an excellent job. We felt like our dog was well taken care of and loved. He sent a lengthy update and pictures each day. Plus he took our pup on longer walks than we even do! Robert was easy to work with and we’d book him again for sure.”
“Kofi was amazing with my Princess Skye. Kofi made himself available at the very last minute of our wedding anniversary trip which made for a happy wife. Kofi sent pictures and videos everyday and kept me up to date with everything. I would highly recommend him for dog sitting.”
“Emily and Jim did a phenomenal job taking care of our Maltese. She was pampered and got tons of time going on walks. Emily took the time to get to know our dog, asked a lot of questions to provide amazing service, and was SUPER helpful when we ran into delays with our trip coming back. I definitely recommend Emily and Jim, and will be a repeat customer the next time our pup needs a place to stay!”
“I highly recommend April and her family. They took wonderful care of my pup. They were very responsive the entire time and also administered my dog's medication well.

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.
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.
95% 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Arlington. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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 NE 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
