“Donna is absolutely great, very nice, accommodating and very punctual. She sent many pictures with our dog, who seemed very happy and well taken care of. We are very pleased to have met her and shall definitely contact her again for future bookings. Thank you, Donna!”
“Olga was wonderful!! She took such great care of Brutus and sent lots of updates with pictures, which I loved. An especially great sitter if your fur baby needs all-day supervision for any reason!”
“Leaving a pet behind is always tough, but Jordan made Emma feel right at home with plenty of love and attention. To my complete surprise, Jordan gave an unexpected breakfast for Emma when I went to pick her up.”
“Was so happy to find someone to take care of our dog during a holiday, and we felt better knowing he was safe with Mario! We did a doggie day care day with him in advance so they could get to know each other, and our dog was excited to see Mario when we dropped him off for an overnight! We received updates during the stay also. Would definitely recommend Mario and will book him again for future dog watching needs!”
“Celina was great. She sent photos and updates and Mango seemed to have a great time. She was flexible and responsive about timing, and everything was so easy and pleasant. Thanks Celina!”
“Lola seemed happy and comfortable when I dropped off and picked her up from Angel. She has a great space for dogs and I appreciated that she took all my crazy dog mom requests into account. Would highly recommend her!”
“My dogs were spoiled And clearly enjoyed themselves making themselves at hom. Annie and Gabe are so friendly and dog knowledgeable. I will definitely bring my fur babies back to them.”
“My dog had a great time with Jennifer, Thomas and their kids. They’ shared photos of her getting petted on the couch and going on walks. She was exhausted when she came home after having had a very fun day with this lovely family.”
“Dawn is fantastic - we have finally found our official dog-sitter. Our normally shy dog Willa took to her and Maestro (Dawn's amazing dog) immediately and wasted no time making herself at home in Dawn's beautiful home. Dawn is an excellent communicator and provided lots of updates, photos and details of each day. Would 100% recommend!”

Summer 2025*** I will be working summer school this summer but will be available Monday thru Thursday AFTER 1pm and Friday through Sunday ALL day/night unless otherwise marked unavailable :) I am a Teaching Assistant over at FDR BY DAY, and would love to help you with your pets by evening or weekend!

If they are dog and cat friendly I can also take them home as needed or watch them at your home as well!
“David was THE BEST!! I left my dog in David's care for two weeks and I never had a single moment of worry or doubt. He was a thoughtful, dedicated sitter who went above and beyond. My dog Charlie has trauma/aggression issues that make it hard for me to feel safe leaving him with a sitter, but David was extremely attentive and extremely careful. And when my dog got finicky with anxiety and didn't want to touch his meals, David went the extra mile with treats and enticements to keep him eating regularly. Charlie was in the best hands around. Highly recommended!!”
“Brittany sent me regular updates and photos of Frannie’s first stay at her home! She knew I was nervous with Frannie meeting new and male people, so she made sure to keep me updated on Frannie’s interactions with her dad. Brittany even slept on the couch when Frannie refused to go upstairs to bed! A+ for sure, can’t wait to use her again.”
“Annette is AMAZING! I have never left any of my dogs and from the first time I met Annette, I saw how much she really cares about the dogs. Max had a ball and Annette always had great contact with me. I will definitely be using her in the future. Just knowing that my little boy was so taken care of and loved while i was gone, made it so much easier for me to enjoy my family vacation! Thank You Annette.”
“They treated my pup so well. Honestly couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Kept my pup busy with puzzles, and outdoor activities. Made their home feel like his own. So grateful for them. I trust them to watch Cash in the future.”
“Wanda was fantastic! Always quick to respond and showed genuine care for my dog. She spent a lot of time playing with and exercising Cooper. I highly recommend her to anyone.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Arlington
Our somewhat anxious dog Millie had an absolutely wonderful time staying with Judy, Steven and Ginger. It was her first time away from us and she had a great experience. Getting photos and videos was very reassuring and it was clear she settled right in. We will definitely have them look after her again in the future!
Thalya and her husband always go above and beyond for my cavapoos. Taking care of everything our pups need and our needs as pet owners as well. I know I can rely on them 100%. They send detailed updates with pictures and give the pups so much attention which our dogs demand sometimes. Really appreciate Thalya and would highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Arlington is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $76 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
94% 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, 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 , 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 .
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 NY 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.
