“We loved Lori! Our dogs did great with her. We loved that she communicated with us and sent pictures throughout our trip so we knew our girls were in good hands. We'll definitely be back!”
“Ruby is the best pet sitter I’ve had. Ella had such a good time she wasn’t all that excited to be leaving! She loved Ruby and made friends with her little dog. I will definitely take her back to Ruby’s when my next trip comes up.”
“We had the best experience with Auntie Ty! I had a last minute business trip and needed someone to watch my fur baby and she stepped in and exceeded my expectations. Caring, thoughtful, attentive and sent my pictures everyday which were the highlight of my very busy work week. I highly recommend Ty!”
“WOW!!! Rebecca was AMAZING!!!! This was our first time using Rover so we were pretty nervous with leaving our dog with a stranger, but we had nothing to worry about!! Luna had the best time in the world! Rebecca would send us pictures and videos update and she was so knowledgeable (Luna had some stomach problems and she knew what to give her to help her upset belly). Definitely would recommend her to anyone!! We will for sure be using Rebecca’s services again!”
“Amy and her lovely family took Dude, my 1 yo male Lab, for a week. They assimilated him into their pack from day one and made him happy. She shared updates and pictures at least once a day. He’s a handful but they took it all in stride and with aplomb. I’ll def use them again for any of my dog sitting needs!!”
About: I have always loved animals and understand the importance of compassion, responsibility and trust when caring for pets. I volunteered for 10 years fostering lost and or abandoned pets. Fostering gave me valuable experience of understanding routines, medication instructions, providing companionship and attention to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I take pride in being responsible and trustworthy. Pets are safe, cared for and treated like family. Available full time! Retired, no children. Neighborhood park within walking distance. Feeding schedules and medication instructions followed. Photos of your pet provided during your absence.i do not use crates unless the owner request one to be used. Pets are allowed on the furniture so let me know if you do not allow them at your home. Dog beds are provided unless you prefer your own. Feel free to bring a personal article of your clothing if your dog has separation anxiety or a thunder shirt. Fenced yard. Child free home. Crate provided if requested by the owner. Retired, now spending the next chapter of my life doing something I truly enjoy and feel passionate about-caring for animals. Fresh water provided all day. I keep dogs on feeding schedules as provided.
“She Took excellent care of our boy and was super responsive especially to our last minute request and sent pictures of him through the weekend. We will definitely be repeat clients our boy loved being with her!”
“Julie was great! I was so grateful that she could take my pup in so last minute. She went above and beyond to make sure Elliot was taken care of and she shared so many videos and pictures to keep me updated. Her communication was timely and detailed which was very much appreciated. Elliot stayed with her for 5 nights and got to live his best life playing with other dogs, taking trips to the dog park, and exploring the woods. I went on vacation while the pup went to summer camp ? it was perfect. Now he’s resting and refueling for our next adventures ? thank you Julie!”
“Mike took very good care of our dog when we needed to go out of the country. It was 8 nights. What I really appreciated was that he sent us photos of him every few days showing that he was content and getting along well. I would certainly recommend Mike to any friend or family member and my dog was way less stressed than being kennel boarded.”
“Brooke is amazing! My dog Bo was in love with Brooke. Brooke is responsive to your messages, provided daily updates and pictures. I am so happy I found her. Definitely will continue to use Brooke when she has availability! Thank you again!”
“Abby is so amazing!!! My fur baby felt right at home with her. It's so great to know that there is somebody I can leave him with where he's happy and feels right at home. She even went above and beyond and brushed him too (He's not a dog that requires brushing because he sheds). She's so wonderful!!!”
“Andrea J. was friendly and accommodating with Schrödinger. She kept me updated and sent photos and videos of his experience with her daily. I would highly recommend her. My Schrödinger enjoyed his time with her.”
“Bridgett was great. She sent daily updates and pictures and communicated efficiently from the moment I reached out about her availability. I would absolutely use her again!”
“Bethanie took care of our puppy Bolt for a week with very care. She kept us up-to-date with regular pics of him. He enjoyed with her dogs at her place and looked very happy when we get back to pick him up. We would definitely recommend Bethanie !!!!!”
“Todd is very kind and knowledgeable. This is the 2nd time I’ve sought his help in caring for pups in my care…. one foster and my own dog. I recommend Todd and Gail.”
“I’ve never left my dog before so I was a little anxious, but he took such good care of her and even sent me updates with pictures which helped put me at ease while I was on leave”
“This was our first time leaving our dogs, King and Dobby, with someone outside of our family, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Will. From the start, he was incredibly kind, professional, and attentive to their needs. He went above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and at home, and it was clear they absolutely loved him! Will kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can tell he genuinely cares about the animals he watches. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust, and we’ll definitely be booking with him again!”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Arlington is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $40 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.

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.
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, 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 TN 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.
