“We just got back from a week-long road trip and honestly, the best part was not worrying about our dogs the entire time. Cailynn took care of Jasper and Gordon like they were her own. Two small dogs with two very different personalities is not always an easy ask, and she handled it effortlessly. We got regular photo updates that made the whole family smile, especially our girls, who checked for new pictures every morning. Everything was clean and in order when we got home, and both dogs were relaxed and clearly well cared for — no anxious behavior, no adjustment period, just happy pups. Communication was easy from the start, scheduling was flexible, and she followed our feeding and walk routine exactly as we left it. We'll absolutely be booking again for our next trip and recommend her to anyone in the area without hesitation.”

“Denyal has been super helpful & flexible in visiting with our new puppy! Adjusting to life working full time while having a puppy has been difficult, and I am so thankful I found Denyal to help ease our anxieties about leaving Heinz at home while we were at work. She cares a lot about Heinz, and sends the best updates throughout her visit! I have definitely noticed a difference in his mood & temperament once we get off work because she’s been visiting with him & helping him blow off some steam outside of his cage. It has also helped so much with potty training! I have rebooked with Denyal multiple times & plan to continue to do so.”

“Borb was my savior this week when I had a last minute work trip for. He was helpful whenever I was caught up with onboarding and made sure that Gizmo was safe at all times. Above and beyond!”

About: I cared for my family dog for years, and other dogs in my home neighborhood until I moved out. I get so much joy from being around animals. I have never come across a stray cat that didn't want to be my friend. I don't currently live with any pets which is why I am eager to petsit so I can spend time with some wonderful dogs and cats. I have a lot of free time during the week for extended stays or multiple drop-ins in a day. I love animals and I will give your pet all of my attention, and be sure they are loved and cared for. I am a respectful guest and I will always leave your home cleaner than I found it

About: I've been a pet owner my whole life. I love staying active and going on walks so I can adjust to your pets needs and wants. I have experience pet sitting for both dogs and cats, old and young. I am a graduate student so on off days I am able to spend time just hanging out with the animals as needed. I am currently attending graduate school. I am completely free most weekends and Mondays with a few exceptions. I am available to stay nights for dog sitting and am free in the late afternoons all week. I can follow any instructions given for each pet. I know each pet may have different needs and can adjust as needed. If pets have routines I will work my best to ensure to keep them on track and can crate in needed.
“Shelby was an AMAZING sitter, even my super shy and skiddish cat opened up to her!! Great communication and picture taking while we were out of town so we were thankfully able to see all the updates with our kitties stress free :) I would definitely book with her again❤️”

“Elizabeth was absolutely AMAZING! She took such great care of my fur babies. I got to fully enjoy my vacation because I knew my cats were in good hands. We can't thank Elizabeth enough 😊😊😊”


“Great care for my sick kitty cat! MK make a point to come over before I left so we could connect and she could meet Mari. MK made sure Mari took her medicine, which was very much appreciated.”


About: Hi, I'm Sam! I've been dog walking and pet sitting on Rover since 2022, and I grew up with pets my whole life — birds first, then dogs — so caring for animals has always felt like second nature to me. I also sit for cats and am comfortable administering medication. You'll never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I send photos and updates every day, and more if you'd like them. Before every visit/stay, I'll want to know exactly what your pet needs, from their routine to their quirks, so they're comfortable while you're away. I work a hybrid schedule, so on weekdays I'm typically out for a few hours during the day, and your pet's routine (feeding, walks, downtime) stays consistent around that. Your pet's comfort and safety are my top priority, and I love building an ongoing relationship with the pets I care for. I'd love to meet you and your pup (or pets!) soon. I currently work a flexible hybrid schedule, so I have time to give your furry friend the love and attention they need! Drop-ins and walks fit easily into my day, and for house sits I'm usually out for a few hours at a time, so your pet's routine (feeding, walks, downtime) stays consistent around that. I'm very receptive to the needs/wants of the owner and am also quite good at judging when furry friends are unhappy or stressed. I'll follow your instructions closely, send updates and photos, and reach out right away if anything is unclear or seems off!
About: Hello! I work from home so, the dogs are under constant supervision. I will only be watching one dog at a time. I have a cat who likes to keep to herself. I presently work from home so I will be able to provide your puppers constant care. I love taking dogs on long walks around Lawrenceville! Fenced in backyard. pups will get plenty of exercise playing with me and going for walks. I understand the trust that owners are placing in me to care for their most loved pets and take that responsibility very seriously. I love and treat the dogs I watch as if they are my own🧡
“Wallis was the best sitter for our two cats while we were on vacation! She took the time to meet our girls before caring for them and even got our shy cat to come out of our shell around her. We can tell that she cared about our cats like they were her own and will definitely have her watch our cats again in the future if able!”

About: I’ve been taking care of friends and families pets for years now. Mostly walking and playing with them, but occasionally administering medication as well. Super detail oriented so happy to follow the needs of your pets! I am currently in grad school once or twice a week at night while working part time. It gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day to hang with your babies. My kitties are spoiled with lots of toys and trees and scratching posts. Any dog I see will be greeted and played with immediately when permitted by the owner. Truly just want any pet to know they are cared for and valued.
About: I have worked with search and recuse dogs in both training and care taking. Not only would your furry child be taken care of, but you might come back to them knowing a few new tricks. I have also taken care of the dogs of some of my neighbors, including a lot of bigger breeds such as German Shepherds, Cane Corsos, and wolf dogs. But I am gentle with the smaller ones too. My expertise includes basic care taking such as bathing, brushing, walking, and diets. But can further go into training, puppy care, and even some SAR basics if you're ever interested. However most importantly, I remain flexible to the specific needs of your furry child. I currently work part time and I am a college student so my time although volatile, is still flexible. I’m usually available at any time Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. On Tuesday and Thursday I am available after 5pm. I’m also open to any overnight care any day of the week. I remain flexible to the needs of your dog based on their specific care and routine. Upon my arrival or during discussion, I always ask what the dog can and cannot eat, how often should they eat, any medical concerns to be aware of, and their hobbies. This is to ensure that your furry child remains safe, and does not become confused. I can meal prep according to specific instructions given, and ensure they’re active throughout the day through scheduled walks, playtime, and care. During my stay I ensure that your furry friend is in the best condition before you return and includes a bath and brush (unless specifically instructed not to). And furthermore, ensure a clean home by the end. While I’m there I do not only take care of your pet, but your home.
About: I provide a dedicated, high-attention environment where your pet’s comfort and personality are my top priorities. I’ve grown up around dogs since I was young, which has given me a deep, natural understanding of their behavior and how to keep them feeling safe and settled. Because I work from home full-time, your dog will have constant companionship and the flexibility for unlimited potty breaks whenever they need them. Your pet will enjoy a rock-solid routine with three structured walks a day—they are welcome to join my friendly dog for some neighborhood socialization, or I can walk them individually upon request to give them my undivided attention. I am happy to accommodate any specific feeding, medical, or behavioral needs with total care, ensuring your best friend receives the focused, reliable stay they deserve. Since I work from home, my schedule is built around providing active, attentive care. Your dog will enjoy a consistent routine of three daily walks, with the option to join my own dog for socialization or go individually for 1-on-1 time. Because I’m home all day, I have plenty of time for indoor play, "anytime" potty breaks, and can even accommodate trail adventures or dog park trips for pups with extra energy. Having grown up with dogs since I was young, I’m happy to accommodate any specific needs to ensure your pet feels safe and energized while you're away. Whether I am hosting in my home or visiting yours, safety and trust are my top priorities. My house is kept meticulously clean, and I am always vigilant about spotting potential hazards to ensure the environment is fully pet-proofed and secure. If your dog stays with me, they’ll have the company of my very friendly Corgi, Jack. He is incredibly social and has a natural way of helping even the most timid or shy dogs feel comfortable and included. I treat every home with a high level of respect and care, ensuring your pet feels safe and your space stays spotless while you are away.
About: I’ve been volunteering at animal shelters since 2024 with the job to socialize dogs and cats who are waiting to be adopted. I am fear free certified. I’ve also completed level one of a dog training program which included kennel safety procedures, canine body language, and enrichment practices. I currently work full time with a hybrid schedule, so I’ve got lots of availability for your weekend pet adventures! If you live near Squirrel Hill and need care during the week - just ask! I know that all animals have their own personalities and require personalized support based on their interests and boundaries. I intentionally observe pets to see the level of affection they are looking for and of course if they have any favorite ways to play!
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Arlington is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arlington
Rylee was absolutely fabulous caring for my two cats when I was out of town. She swooped in last minute and went above and beyond in caring for them and checking on my home. She wrote great daily updates and took lots of photos of play time with them so I could know how things were going. She reached out if she noticed anything off about my home or the cats behaviors. It was such a relief knowing someone was spending time hanging out with, feeding, playing with the cats and ensuring their litter was clean and fresh. I could tell they loved her as they have still been excited for their daily play time with me now that I’m back. Highly recommend!

We were away for just over three weeks. Kate came to take care of my 2 cats. She provided photos and full details of cat care daily. One cat has to take a pill and she reassured me that all was well at home. She also watered my indoor plants and took the used kitty litter to the curb on trash night. (So there was not an unliftable bag of litter to haul out upon return.). All interactions in person and text were great. My cats, including the shy one who gets the pill, really seemed to like her and interacted well with her.

My dog is always very excited to see Akira! He’s taken the time to get to know my dog, who is not immediately in love with everyone, and I’ve been able to hire him for weekly check-ins. Communication is super easy. Akira has a calm and kind presence that is a great counterbalance for my dog with big feelings. At the same time, he can bring out my dog’s playful side which I believe helps reduce my dog’s stress of having someone other than his family come inside the house.

Polina did an amazing job taking care of my two cats! She is the first person I've hired through Rover and I could not be more happy with the attention and love she gave to my cats while I was away. I never had to worry that my cats were well and responsibility cared for while Polina was watching them. I would definitely work with her again for my pet care highly recommend her to others!

Lara did an excellent job caring for my diabetic cat while I was away for three days. She came twice a day to administer insulin injections right on time, every 12 hours. The cat seemed very happy and well treated when I got back. The cat likes to be brushed, and Lara took the time to keep him well brushed.
Divya is an excellent sitter, and on such short notice too. The write-ups she gave looking after my cat while I was out of town were quite detailed and the pictures she took were adorable. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing that someone so attentive was checking in on him and giving him bit of company each day.

Pulpo recieved the most purrrrrfect care from Brooke and her family. He was obviously looking forward to seeing them and had a lot of fun each time they came. We got the sweetest photos and updates each visit and came home to a very content creature. 100% recommend!
