“Amazing as always. Winta treats your pet with the same love and care that you would give and then some. Her daily pictures and updates made it easy to relax knowing he was in such great care.”

“Haylle does a great job with my dog Jasper. I am able to work through my day knowing that she comes by in the day to make sure he gets some activity. I get a report card from Rover and she sends pictures every visit. I am very grateful for her care.”

“Gary was great with Lilith! I could tell that she had a really fun time playing with him. I got so many good pictures from Gary and he was very communicative and responsive. Definitely recommend him to anyone and will keep his contact for when we need him in the future.”


About: What sets me apart is my combination of hands-on animal care experience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for a variety of farm animals, which taught me responsibility, patience, and the importance of paying attention to an animal’s individual needs. Pet care is a part of my everyday life because I’m a pet owner myself. I currently have a French Bulldog, so I’m very familiar with the unique needs of brachycephalic breeds and understand the importance of monitoring their activity, breathing, and comfort. I’m currently enrolled in a Master’s program in Biomedical and Translational Sciences, and my summer schedule is relatively light, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks and drop-in visits. I have always loved animals and volunteered at my local animal shelter throughout my undergraduate studies, where I gained experience caring for dogs with a variety of personalities and needs. Providing pets compassionate care is something I genuinely enjoy. When caring for pets during drop-in visits and walks, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and following their normal routine as closely as possible. During drop-ins, I can provide food and water, potty breaks, playtime, administer basic medications if needed, and give plenty of attention and companionship. For walks, I prioritize making sure they stay hydrated and comfortable, especially during the summer heat. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to treat every pet as if they were my own.
“Honey and I will very much miss Reina as she starts her new job. Reina is the perfect person to care for your cherished dog. She truly takes care for it playing, sending detailed notes and photos. You never have to worry.”

About: My phone screen says it all...it's a photo of my dog, the first thing I see every morning and the face I look forward to coming home to. That love is exactly what I bring to every pet I care for. For 15 years, friends and family have trusted me with their pets during vacations, emergencies, and everything in between. I know that when an owner steps away, their pet feels it. I'm patient enough to sit with that, calm enough to reassure them, and attentive enough to know what they need in the moment. Whether that's extra cuddles, a familiar routine, or just a steady, loving presence. What sets me apart isn't just experience. It's that I genuinely care. Your pet won't just be looked after, they will feel it. One of the best things about my schedule right now is the flexibility. Working part time means I can shape my days around the pets in my care, whether that's an early morning walk, staying close during those first anxious hours after an owner leaves, or simply being home and present. Your pet won't spend the day waiting. They'll spend it with someone who's actually there. From the moment a pet enters my care, their comfort and safety come first. I live alone which means no unexpected chaos, just a calm space where pets can relax and settle in. My big backyard gives dogs plenty of room to run and explore safely, and my flexible schedule means I'm never rushing out the door. Your pet has my time and full attention. Trust is everything. Fifteen years of caring for friends' and family's pets has taught me how to earn it quickly, from the animals and their owners. I keep communication open with regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and loved. Whether I'm in my home or yours, my approach never changes: treat every animal exactly the way I'd want my own dog treated.
About: . Hi! My name is Meylin, and I’ve always had a special love for animals. As a proud dog mom, I understand that pets are family and deserve patience, kindness, and lots of love. I provide a safe and comfortable home where your pup can relax, play, and receive plenty of attention. I have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time, as well as cozy indoor spaces to rest and feel right at home. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, which is why I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules and any special instructions you provide, to ensure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while in my care. As I begin my journey on Rover, I’m offering introductory rates to give pet parents the opportunity to get to know me and experience the loving, attentive care I provide. My goal is to build lasting relationships with both pets and their owners by creating a positive experience where every furry guest feels like part of the family. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! My schedule is highly flexible and I am fully available to work almost every day of the week, including weekends. The only day I am not available is Tuesdays. All other days, I am completely open to providing care. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and I can easily adapt to your pup's specific needs and timing. Safety and trust are my top priorities for every service I provide. I always ensure constant supervision and a safe, comfortable environment for the pets. I strictly follow all guidelines and instructions provided by the owners, making sure that all feeding, medication, and resting routines are followed exactly as requested.
“Amberstar has been such a blessing! She has been so helpful with my senior dog Jasper and has been able to come for drop in's three days a week, which gives me such peace of mind. She is great and sending cute pictures and updates, and Jasper just loves her! Amberstar is a 10 out of 10!!!”
“Kayla is so sweet and kind! I’m so thankful she was able to spend time with our doggie! I know he felt so loved and special in our absence. Thank you Kayla! We can’t wait to work with you again. 🩷💜”

“Casey was amazing! Very big stress reliever during our vacation and this was our first time using Rover. One of my pups can be a little grumpy and he seemed like nothing but smiles in the check in photos. Thank you Casey and cannot recommend enough! Loved the notes and photos from the check ins. Thank you!!”

“Kelsey was our experience with this service, and we couldn't be more satisfied. Very professional, responsive, and helpful! Our cat Cherry felt comfortable and cared for. Thank you very much, Kelsey!”

“Symone was a great sitter and Zoey enjoyed ER drop in visits! Would recommend and definitely rebook, especially since Zoey isn’t the easiest cat with new people and warmed up to Symone instantly.”


About: I’ve been taking care of all types of animals for many years. I took specific courses in high school on how to care for a wide range of animals. I also worked at a pet boarding center taking care of both dogs and cats. I have two dogs of my own and would want someone who loves them like I do. I love all animals no matter the size, amount of hair, or amount of limbs! I’m currently working part time with a fluctuating schedule so in my free time I would love to help out those who need some extra attention for their furry friends, or not so furry. I have pet sit in my neighbors and friends houses all my life. Whatever is needed of me I can workout with owners to make them as comfortable as possible. Pets are incredibly important to all of us so making owners and pets comfortable is the top priority.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Arlington
We had such a great experience with our Rover sitters! 🐾 They followed all of our instructions carefully, took wonderful care of Apollo, and kept us updated with great communication throughout our time away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was being checked on and cared for while we were gone. We really appreciated how reliable, responsive, and attentive they were, and we would absolutely recommend them and use them again! 💕

I felt so comfortable leaving both my dog and cat with Shelby. She took such great care of them, sent lots of pics, and was very responsive. I felt at ease while on vacay, and could really enjoy my trip with no stress. 10/10 recommend! Will deff use again. 🫶🏻

Shelly was amazing. We couldn’t have chosen a better person to trust our pup with when we went out of town. Shelley was reliable and communicated early and often she even sent pictures along the way, so we knew our guy was well cared for it is never easy, leaving your dog behind. Shelley gave us the highest confidence that our guy was in good hands.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Arlington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Arlington choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Arlington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
