“This was my first time using Rover for our Weimaraner, Kai. Stefanie, was great & made Kai feel at home right away. Unfortunately, the visit went off the rails because Kai got nippy with the other guest pet & her dog. Stefanie communicated well & was exceptionally professional & helpful through the whole situation. We ended up having to cut the stay short because of Kai, but she was awesome & very helpful in a difficult situation. I just can't say enough good things about her. I will definitely use her again...once Kai learns better manners!”
“This was our second time booking with Zach, and we’ve already designated him as our go-to dog sitter. Oso and Lexie clearly remembered him—they were so happy when we pulled up to his place, and they ran straight inside without even saying goodbye. Zach is always great about sending photo updates and keeping us in the loop about how they’re doing, which we really appreciate. We feel confident leaving them in his care and will continue to use him in the future.”
“Helena was great. She had great communication annd very professional. I knew my pup was in good hands. She was well taken care of and loved while we were gone. I would recommend Helena and we will definitely book her again !!”
“Melinda is the best! She quickly gained my little Yorkie's trust and even sent a video of giving some belly rubs, which was a sure sign that our dog was very comfortable and getting lots of cuddles. Melinda was very quick to respond to all of our inquiries and sent lots of pictures during our 2-week vacation. I had no worries about my sweet baby while I was gone. We will definitely hope Melinda is available the next time we need a sitter. Highly recommend!!”
“Newana did a great job of keeping us up-to-date on how Jess was doing and sent us pics each day of what was happening with her! Newana was amazing in taking care of Jess and we plan on using her again!”
“Christine did an amazing job taking care of Kai and Janus! She was always easy to reach and she made sure to keep us posted! I’m sure we will be leaving them with Christine again in the future!”
“India and her family are such nice people. Responsible. Follows instructions well. Courteous. Made me feel welcomed. I will definitely use her services again in the near future!”
“Renée was accommodating with our schedule to meet up and when I needed to pick him up early. I truly appreciated her willingness to help. Kai was happy I was home but sad to leave his new found friends! He’s tired from playing means he’s a happy dog!! We will ask for Renée again when going out of town! She is a great sitter and we would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Katia and her family had a very positive effect on Finn. He was well loved and exercised. Katia was always in contact with me, letting me know what Finn was up to with videos and pictures.”
“We absolutely love this family. They took care of Rissy and gave her the love and attention she needed. We will definitely board Rissy again with them.”
“This was our first time boarding Emmett. So I was really happy with the experience. Sapana sent pictures and a short video of Emmett having a great time at her house. Would definitely use her again”
“Diana is the best. My three spoiled Schnauzers had the best time and felt the genuine love that they provided. Absolutely hands down the best provider. Definitely will use Diana again.”

I booked Sara for the first time, today, and she did a wonderful job caring for my Chihuahua, Ruby. You can tell Sara has experience dealing with different dog personalities and making them feel at home. I would definitely utilize Sara again in the future. She is very caring and knowledgeable.
Stefanie was simply great! My big old baby boy was clearly relaxed & comfortable with her. Stefanie kept me updated with regular pictures & videos throughout my trip, easing my mind and making for a more relaxed vacation. I travel twice a year and Stefanie will be my go-to dog sitter for all future travel. Thanks again Stefanie!!
I was a first time rover person & had nobody to watch my dogs as I was going out of town to get married so everyone who would watch them was with me. Melissa was amazing from the first meet to drop off and pickup. My dogs are my babies and she knew how nervous I was. She stayed in constant communication with me & send me pictures daily and often. She made my fur mama heart at ease as I was many miles away from my babies. I will definitely book again when needed.
I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Lola! She was incredibly sweet and welcoming, and it was clear that her children genuinely enjoyed having Lola in their home. They have a huge backyard with plenty of space for Lola to run around and play. Throughout my trip, she kept me updated with the sweetest pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing Lola was happy and well cared for. The best part was when I arrived to pick Lola up—her kids didn’t want her to leave! That alone speaks volumes about the love and attention she received. I’m so grateful Lola was treated like part of the family. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, attentive, and trustworthy sitter!
Renee’s place was a dog’s paradise for my 4 1/2 month puppy. I was a bit nervous at drop off since I have a puppy and wasn’t sure how he would adapt to other dogs. Sure enough by the time I picked him back up he had made friends with all and was visibly comfortable walking around and jumping on the couch. Thank you for taking good care of Pepper :)

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Arlington is $38 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $53 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. 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 3,880 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Arlington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
95% 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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 TX 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.
