“Timothy was great! This was our first time using his services, and everything went smoothly. He was communicative, easygoing, and very flexible. He even offered to refill our dog’s water bowl! He sent plenty of photos, and our dog looked happy and excited in all of them. We’ll definitely book with him again. Thank you!”

“I had such a great experience with Melanie! She walked both of my dogs, Chase and Luna, for 30 minutes and did an amazing job. She made sure they both got their exercise, had water afterward, and even confirmed that both went potty during the walk. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were so well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”

“I am pleased to highly recommend our dog walker. Stephanie, was consistently professional, punctual, and attentive. Throughout each visit, she provided regular updates, which gave us great peace of mind. Her interaction with our dog was exceptional, and it was clear that she genuinely cared for her well-being. Our dog responded very positively to her, and we were extremely satisfied with the level of care she received. I am confident that anyone who chooses Stephanie, services will be equally pleased. This was our first time ever being away from our baby Blu and she assured us that Blu would be good hands with her. We will definitely book with her again.”

About: Hi there! My name is Kendra. I come with 12+ years of veterinary technician experience. I currently work as a CVT in a veterinary ICU. I am happy to provide care to pets who may need additional TLC, such as senior or special needs pets. Outside of work, I have two cats (Autumn & Creme Brulee) and two dogs. Violet is my mini doodle who I adopted after she was found to have a swallowing disorder, and Emmie Lou is my Australian Shepherd who loves to live her life on the wild side. We love going for walks, long hikes, and various training events like lure courses, agility and dock diving. Both of my girls have earned their CGC (Canine Good Citizens) among other ribbons and sport titles. Loving animals is my whole life and I can't wait to love your fur babies too! 💗 I am available to do drop-in visits (short walks, feeding, play time, medication administration, etc.), or longer walks/hikes for those that may need the extra exercise. I am also available for house sitting upon request. I schedule pet care on my days off from my full-time job. I can also provide house sitting upon request (availability will not routinely be posted for this so feel free to send me a message!). Unfortunately, due to renting I cannot provide pet care in my own home. I can do drop-in visits or longer term house sitting in your home, which I would prefer anyway as I feel pets are usually the most comfortable in their own homes. When walking any dogs outside of a fenced in yard, I will always implement the use of double leashes for added safety.

About: I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet behind, so my goal is to make the experience as smooth and comfortable as possible—for both you and your pet. I’m calm, attentive, and great at sticking to routines. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I provide a safe, loving environment they can relax in. I currently am a student from home so I have more than enough time to take care of your furry companion while you are away. I used to walk my dog around my neighborhood sometimes to the river If it’s really nice out just get her some fresh air. Proper feeding times and bathroom breaks.

About: I specialize in reliable night and weekends dog walks and house sitting in the Hudson Valley. I don’t just check boxes—I take time to understand each dog’s unique personality, preferences, and needs. Whether it’s a playful pup who needs extra exercise or a shy senior who just wants gentle companionship, I adjust my care to suit them. I also prioritize clear, friendly communication with pet parents, sending updates and photos so you always feel connected. My goal is simple: to make every dog feel safe, loved, and at home—even when you’re away. I currently work full time but I would like to take on some dog walking and sittings on nights and weekends as I currently cannot have pets in my house. In my home or yours, I create a calm, safe, and loving environment tailored to your pet’s routine and personality. I stick closely to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions you provide. In your home, I respect your space and your pet’s comfort, keeping things clean and consistent so your dog feels secure. In my home, I offer a pet-friendly, supervised space with plenty of attention, playtime, and rest. I always communicate openly and send photo updates so you know your pet is happy and well-cared for every step of the way.

About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life. Both in my personal life- and professionally. I have a very big soft spot for older dogs- and have had a lot of experience working with all ages. I have done everything from working at dog day cares, in vet clinics, with seeing eye dogs, housesitting and beyond. Anywhere I can pour love into this world is where I want to be. I am currently working full time but am happy to make sure your pet has everything it needs and more. I do not feel like my work hinders the care I can provide in any way. I work with dogs everyday and understand exactly what they need. I have a 12 year old retired autism dog who gets along with everyone. She is sweet and mellow. I can provide a crate if needed and I can also come to you.

About: I’ve been told I am the best pet sitter ever! I love animals with my whole heart and have so much fun meeting all the critters in my neighborhood! I am very flexible with my schedule. I work 8-4. I can stop by multiple times a day depending on how close you live to me. I have a cat and will not be offering services that include taking your pet into my home. I will only be offering drop in visits and walks.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 12 years old and moved in with my dad. He had two red nose pitbulls who I loved and adored. I would play for hours and pet for hours. I would be the one responsible for their walking, feeding, and hygiene (baths, nail cutting, ear cleaning) and I genuinely enjoyed it. My grandparents had a Pomeranian for some years prior, and I would every weekend ask to go and see the dog. I loved him and he loved me, he would jump so high every time I walked through the door! I taught him how to do “paw”, roll over, and many more tricks. When I reached a driving age, my grandparents asked me if I would care for him while they were out of town, which was often. I would either stop in 4x a day for potty breaks and food checks or pick him up and bring him for a car ride and long walks(weather permitting) with a nice treat after. I currently work full time, and am available to care for your pet(s) Fridays after 6pm-Sunday night, perfect for pet parents who planned a weekend getaway! I will treat your pet as if they were my own. I talk to them, I give them endless lovin’. I am very observant and take note of what they do/do not like, to avoid upsetting them. Even things like if they were needing to be brushed, have their eyes/ears wiped, I will do it without issue because I would do the same if it were my pet.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I rescued my first dog from the local humane society when I was 11, and that experience started a lifelong passion for caring for animals. Before becoming a nurse, I worked as a veterinary assistant for two local animal hospitals where I gained valuable hands-on experience with animal care and handling. I developed skills in basic training, puppy socialization, reading animal body language, medication administration, subcutaneous fluids, nail trimming, grooming, and bathing. I also volunteered for several years with a local dog rescue as a foster, helping provide temporary homes, structure, and love for dogs before their adoptions. Many needed socialization, basic training, and a calm environment to help them thrive. I later served as the rescue’s foster and event coordinator until 2020. Today I share my home with three of my own beloved dogs. One of our previous dogs had epilepsy and required frequent monitoring and medication, which gave me additional experience caring for pets with medical needs. In my free time I enjoy traveling, camping, hiking with my dogs, training with our Belgian Malinois, and watching my daughter ride her horse. Caring for animals has always been a true passion of mine, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a nurse who works three 12-hour shifts each week, which gives me several days off to dedicate to caring for animals. I truly enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. My schedule is fairly flexible on my days off, and I’m happy to work with you to meet your pet’s individual needs and routine. Please check my calendar for availability and feel free to reach out with any specific requests. I will always do my best to accommodate and treat your animals with the same care and attention I would give my own. At this time, I’m unable to host dogs in my home, but I’m happy to care for them in the place they feel most comfortable—your home. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and extended daytime care depending on your pet’s needs. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care in a calm and compassionate environment, treating your pets with the same attention and kindness I would give my own.

About: I have been around cats and dogs my whole life. I walk my dogs daily, feed them, administer pill medications, and of course love to cuddle them. I have taken care of my neighbors two dogs every weekend of summer for the last 4 years. I love meeting new dogs, gaining their trust, and taking care of them. I put a lot of time into taking care of my dogs, I look forward to putting the same care and effort into your pups while you are away! During the summer, I work retail part-time so I have plenty of time to stop by and care for your pets during the day. I have part time availability Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday I am free all day. I have a fenced in yard where I play with them and they go potty. I live on a road with a large hill and many curves, so when walking them on the road I am very aware and I follow all safety recommendations. I also often bring my dogs to the dog park in Milton, I would be happy to do that with your dog if you do not have a fenced in yard.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Arlington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Arlington is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 1,259 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Arlington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Arlington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Arlington after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Arlington. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
