“Both of my dogs love going to Gabe’s and I feel comfortable knowing they are well taken care of while being there. It’s wonderful to see how excited they get when we pull into the driveway. Gabe truly enjoys taken care of dogs and does a great job at it. His communication during their stays are great. He sends pictures and updates which is always nice to receive. I would definitely recommend Gabe if you’re looking for a place to board your pups”
About: I’ve cared for dogs at different life stages, including raising a dog from puppyhood and providing dedicated care for a senior rescue. I also have experience administering medication, including for dogs with congestive heart failure. I’m attentive to routines, behavior changes, and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and safety in pet care. I work part-time and am available for pet care on weekdays after 1 PM and on weekends. I plan my schedule to provide consistent attention, including walks, feeding, and medication routines. I’m reliable with timing and make sure each dog’s routine is followed closely. I provide a calm, structured home environment that works well for gentle, low-energy, or senior dogs. I have two young children who are taught to respect dogs’ space, so I only accept dogs that are comfortable around kids and have a calm temperament. While my yard is not fenced, all outdoor time is supervised and dogs are kept safely leashed. I do not have other pets, allowing me to give your dog focused, one-on-one attention. I follow routines closely, including medications, feeding schedules, and any special care instructions. I require a meet-and-greet to ensure a good fit for everyone’s safety and comfort.
“Chaqutia looked after my pup, Ralph, for just over a week. I was nervous about leaving him for such a long period of time especially as he was unwell. Chaqutia put my mind at ease instantly and sent updates multiple times throughout the day of both photos and videos as well as a report of how he did with his food and confirming he took his meds. Any questions I had or suggestions I made, she responded to promptly. She’s a very kind and caring person and also very responsible with things like a camera set up in the room dogs sleep in to check on throughout the night. She was flexible with both pick up and drop off times and really listened to our needs Her home is beautiful, large and on a very quiet secluded road which was reassuring as less traffic. Her family are truly lovely and her eldest child played with Ralph lots (particularly loved those videos) Would definitely use Chaqutia again and recommend her to others!”
“Jennifer, Thomas and their girls took such good care of our pup. They sent frequent updates and photos throughout the visit, and we could instantly tell how comfortable our dog was in their home. Cannot recommend them enough!”
“I cannot recommend Stephen enough. He took amazing care of our Buddy while we were away. He communicated and sent us videos and updates every day. He was cautious when introducing Buddy to the other dogs in his care and we had a meet and greet prior to the stay which I appreciate, he goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs in his care are compatible to keep all dogs safe. I look forward to using him in the future and I know Buddy will too. You can see that dogs in Stephens care are treated as his own and that is so comforting when leaving your dog in his care.”
About: I've been petsitting for over 20 years and I am also proud fur mama to a 14 lb. Yorkie/Dachsund names Maximillian. Max LOVES other dogs and we would love to keep your dog company while you're out of town. I'm on vacation for the summer so we would love to host your furry friends for a visit for a day or overnight or visit them at your place. I'm available during the summer/school breaks and on weekends during the school year (I'm a teacher). I'll have lots of time for walks, belly rubs. I live close to the rail trail and the walkway. Dogs are welcome on the couch. There's lots of space here to roll around on the floor, play fetch, bask in the sun on the fenced-in patio. For boarding, dogs must be crate trained, since I don't want to risk any harm to my dog or yours while I'm out.

“Megen took great care of our dog Lotta. She has a fenced in backyard which was great so our dog was outside a lot and played with the other dogs there. Easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!”
“Odie had a wonderful stay with Maryline and her family. It was evident that he was treated as part of the family. Maryline was easy to contact and shared amazing photos of Odie's visit. She made our holiday travel stress free knowing Odie was in good hands.”
About: I’ve been around dogs all my life! I grew up in the country side of Ireland and had many sheep dogs through my childhood. My love for animals started at a young age and quickly learned how smart and special they truly are. Through out the years I’ve developed an intuitive approach to caring for each animals individual personality and needs. This is my full time job Monday through Friday. Rates are listed but please note ! (Anything over 8hrs is an additional $20/hr) for daycare. I have a fenced yard for your dog to play and would never have more than 5/6 dogs at a time.I also live in a very walkable neighborhood with sidewalks and I’m close to , parks, farms, and nature hikes. Sadly I no longer have a pup of my own as he recently passed away.
“We will definitely be coming back to Danielle. Our two dogs got lots of attention in her home. In the past, our dogs would show signs of stress after being in a kennel. No signs of stress this time. I was really pleased to see how happy they were. Danielle, From our family to yours, "thank you for taking such good care of our girls.' Regards, Peter”
“We are so happy that are neighbors referred us to Dawn! Our Beckham usually goes with us everywhere but we had an important event to attend without him. He immediately felt comfortable with Dawn and so did we! We were able to enjoy our late night out without worries. Dawn kept in touch with photos and feedback on how he was doing. It meant so much to us. We can’t recommend Dawn enough.”
“My two dogs loved their visit with Cynthia and Eli and their dog Max.They were very gracious hosts, kind and attentive, kept me informed, and shared photos. True dog lovers. I was able to relax and enjoy my visit with family knowing my "kids" were in good hands.Highly recommended. I also feel fortunate to have met two very good people, and do intend to remain in touch. Dawn D.”
“My pup stayed at Kimberly’s home for a night. She took great care of him! She was very easy to communicate with and responsive. Kimberly is a true animal lover! I highly recommend her and will definitely reach out to her in the future!”
“Katherine was a great sitter. She really loves dogs and my dog Tyson had the greatest time her and her dog Tilly. They got along really well. Thank you so much for loving my dog for the weekend! It's so comforting to know your dog is having a great time while you are away.”
“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!!”
“Annette is truly a dog/animal lover. After our meet and greet, we felt very comfortable leaving our pups in her hands for our wedding. I did not stress once that they were not being well taken care of. Annette has set up her home to be prepared for all pets’ personalities. When we picked our dogs up, Annette gave us a full and detailed report of how their stay was. They left happy and relaxed! Thank you, Annette!”
“Emily is amazing! I live in LA but was visiting my mom in Woodstock and needed a dog sitter last minute for my little senior dog, Rihanna. Emily graciously took her for a house sit in her home for a long weekend. Emily was thorough and asked about Rihanna’s routine, taking care to follow it well. I can tell that Emily has extensive experience with pets and a special love for them. Rihanna required both liquid and pill medicines that Emily took care to give her 2x a day. Emily also sent photo updates in the app and kept me informed about how Rihanna was doing. Rihanna seemed extremely happy with Emily, and I can tell that she got lots of love. She can be anxious when traveling, but Emily’s calm presence was great for her. I would 100% select Emily again!”

We cannot recommend Jordan enough! Leaving our dog, Emma, is always stressful, but Jordan put our minds completely at ease from Saturday. She is reliable, incredibly communicative, and sent us wonderful daily photo updates and stories. If you need a trustworthy, patient, and truly caring person for your pet, look no further. We will definitely book with Her again!
Thalya was amazing looking after our 7 months old puppy for 12 days. He clearly had fun at her house, which we could see from the many pictures and videos she sent with her regular updates. She even showered him before bringing him home to us. He seems much calmer and relaxed and I think the time with her and her dogs was a great experience for him. We are already planning his next stay with her. Definitely recommend her!
Mildred and her family were great with my Lily. We had a meet and greet prior to the boarding to make sure she would be a good fit for Lily. Mildred and her family were so warm and inviting, we knew immediately we were going to book her. Mildred shared multiple pictures and videos of Lily’s daily activities and well as when she was in slumber. I will 💯 use her service in the future and highly recommend her.
Judy and Steven took great care of Sandy for us. They sent multiple pics and vids of her playing and having a grand 'ol time there. It really helps put your mind at ease and we were very grateful to get those while we were away. They were a pleasure to deal with. They are both great communicators up to and during Sandy's stay with them. That will definitely be our go to folks when we need a place for Sandy to stay. Thank you very much much, Judy and Steven and Ginger!
Bruno had such a good stay with Donna and we felt completely comfortable leaving him somewhere new because of our previous visit and her great communication! He keeps running to the car wagging his tail since returning home- I think he is hoping to return for a visit!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Arlington on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 494 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Arlington. About 92% 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.

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.

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 NY 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.
