“So Great! I was super nervous at first to leave my dog with “a stranger” but great communication from Sabrina made me feel comfortable. She also Went out of her way to bring a carpet cleaner to clean a stain my dog made!”
“Kyra communicated throughout the drop in visit. She was great and went above and beyond while she was there. I have 2 senior dogs and finding someone that is kind and patient is amazing. Definitely booking again with her!”
About: I’ve been around pets all my life! I’ve never lived in a house that did not have a dog or cat present, and it just doesn’t feel like home without one! I’m currently an owner of a 7 year old cat myself, but I’ve always been around dogs of all ages and sizes! I frequently pet sit and stay overnight for family members, as well. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:30 am-4:30 pm, but I do have an hour lunch break from 11:30 am-12:30 pm, which I can use to check on your pet, take them on a short walk, play, or feed them (if needed!) I do not work on the weekends, so I am 100% available to stay overnight Friday-Saturday and make sure everything is good to go before I leave on Sunday! Before I leave and while I’m there, I always make sure there is nothing left out that an animal can get into, and I always ensure there is water and food that is easily accessible to them. A good play session is something I like to do to make sure they were given enough attention before I leave, or, for dogs, I take them on a short walk to get some of that energy out!
About: I love animals of all shapes and sizes. Currently I have 3 dogs of my own who don’t live with me. I have taken care of newborn puppies up until 8 weeks. I have experience with a variety of different pet breeds. Your pets are in good hands! I have a part-time job and am a full time student at college but I have plenty of time to go for walks or to pets sit at any home and will be most available during the months of May-August! In my apartment complex we have a special dog friendly area that is fenced. There will be me and another resident in the apartment and can expect to be home the majority of the day. I have no problem answering any questions or concern!
“Tereza did such a great job taking care of my three cats! She took direction well and was easy to talk to and explain all of the intricacies with my home and cats needs. I really appreciate Tereza going above and beyond and scheduling a meet & greet with us beforehand! Definitely recommend and will book again in the future. Thank you!”
“First time using Rover and Ann. She was great, sent pics and answered all my questions and texts when I was worried. I will for sure use her again. Thanks bunches for taking care of my babies.”
About: I have been a dog walker, dog bather, kennel tech, and worked at wildlife rehab. To say I love animals is an understatement, and I can't wait to meet and care for yours! I have been pet sitting in people's homes for nearly 20 years now, and have worked professionally with animals for many years. Dogs to Hedgehogs and snakes, tell me how to best care for your pets and I will exceed your expectations. I have watched over nursing puppies in shelters, and senior dogs in veterinary care and boarding, so I have experience with animals with anxiety and giving medications. I am on summer break from work at a local school, so your little ones will have my full attention. I do have a few 2/3 hr events two evenings a week, but I will be available for any pets in training, or who may need more frequents outdoor breaks. Because I understand that for many pets, consistency is very important, I try to stick as close to your regular walk/outside schedules as possible to make sure routines are kept just that*. Since every animal is different, I will let your pet lead the way with how much attention/ what kind of enrichment they like. I don't mean to brag, but my belly rubs are the bark of the town my neighborhood. **With the summer heat, I expect any walks taken will be very early or as the sun is setting so their paws are protected.
About: I' have had dogs and cats my entire life most living 17 to 20yrs. old and I'll care for yours like they are my own. I'm retired from 25yrs of Information Technology so im available any time any day of the week. It would be my pleasure to care for your fur babies My pets are my babies and part of the family as are yours. I will treat them as they are my fur babies as well
About: I've been taking care of pets since 2022! I am flexible when it comes to drop-in visits and dog-walking! I have cared for my neighbors' and family friends' pets as I care for my own! Looking forward to working with you! I am currently a graduate student at UT Arlington in their social work program. I intern at Methodist Dallas Medical Center three times a week, and I work part time the rest of the week/ weekend. My schedule often varies, but I will make sure to keep my calendar updated each month. If certain times don't work for you, just let me know! I am very flexible! I have a Belgian Malinois (Star) that I walk often because of her endless energy! I enjoy playing with her whenever I am home from my internship or class. Not only will I conduct the necessities for your pet, but I will also make sure I put all my love and care into them!
“Our first time to hire Amber, & we'll most definitely request her again. We had drop-in visits for our 2 pups while out of town 3 days. Amber was communicative & responsible. She sent multiple photos & "pupdates." Most of all, our 2 dogs seemed to love her.”
About: I have loved and lived with animals my entire life. My mother owns Hollyvillehounds which is a dogsitting business. I would love to begin my journey into this as well! I currently work full time and am usually available after 6PM on the weekdays. I am hoping to be able to get to the point of having this be my full time job. I would not be able to board since I am in an apartment. But I would love to come in and walk your babies for you!
“Wintana was excellent and was able to accommodate my request. I could tell Bella loved her and she provided thorough updates. I look forward to using her services again.”
About: Growing up in a house full of animals gave me hands on experience with all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I’ve personally owned and cared for everything from a giant Great Dane to a high-energy Border Collie, so I know exactly how to manage different strength and exercise levels. I currently work part time, which gives me incredible flexibility throughout the week! Because my schedule is open most days, I can easily accommodate mid day walks, or specific feeding routines. Your pet will be my top priority, and I have plenty of time to give them the focused attention, exercise, and love they deserve while you are away. Safety is my absolute top priority when caring for your pets. Whether I am visiting your home or taking your dog out for a walk, I maintain strict supervision, keep them securely on leash.
“Our 2nd time having Jess care for our 3 cats and she's phenomenal! Our cats remembered her from the first time and were completely comfortable already. Her check-ins were great and we recommend her 100%!”
“Sinatra and I loveee Shelly!! She is so great with the pup and he with her. I have had my dog watched by family, friends, and kennels... Shelly was the best all around! Rover should promote her hehe. Happy customer and healthy pup (:”

Kyra is absolutely wonderful! We always feel completely comfortable leaving our pets in her care. She’s dependable, communicative, and takes such great care of them while we’re away. It’s such a relief knowing they’re with someone we trust. We’re always happy to have Kyra watch them and would definitely recommend her!
Sabrina was WONDERFUL! She was so good with our cats (and our turtle!). She always provided a daily status and photos of all of our animals. The cats took to her right away. She followed instructions perfectly. Everything was in perfect order when we got home the next week, and the kitties seemed very happy and well-cared for. I highly recommend Sabrina to care for your pets! You won't be disappointed!
Corrina was awesome with my two cats! She played with my friendly, overly brave boy and won over my shy (okay, scared) girl. She adhered to my recommendations for care and schedules and asked applicable follow-up questions as needed. It was reassuring to have my pets in such capable and caring hands. I would absolutely recommend Corrina to anyone and rebook whenever our schedules align.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Arlington on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,722 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Arlington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 cat, 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.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
