About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I had my very own precious chihuahua at 12 years old. Over the years, I have become well-versed in taking care of dogs as I’m a frequent dog sitter for my aunt’s Yorkies. I look forward to walking, feeding, and caring for your precious fur babies! (: I work full- time during the week but I am available after 4:30 p.m. to help with any of your needs for your fur babies. My schedule is completely free on Saturday and Sunday. In order to ensure your peace of mind and your dog’s safety, I will send daily or frequent updates as needed. When I have watched my aunt’s dogs in the past, I find open communication is the best way to make sure everything is running smoothly. Please let me know if any of your dogs require special care.
About: Hi! I’m a dependable animal lover who will care for your pets as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, so I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their routine, I’m here to help. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind! I am a full time online student so I have a very flexible schedule in regard to taking care of your pet! I usually wake up around 7 in the morning and take a morning walk with my dog. She gets lots of attention inside and outside and I would do the same for your pet. I have a dog park right behind us so I always take them to the park and there is River Legacy park right by me so I also go on lots of walks.
About: I’ve taken care of many cats and dogs since I was little, for me it comes naturally. I am more than capable of providing the best care for your fur babies. Friends and family alike have entrusted me with caring for their pets for extended periods of time. We have had many pet owners’ babies stay with us, and we give them all equal love and affection. Give me a shot and I assure you I will treat your furry one as if he/she were my own. We do require a meet and greet and/or video chat prior, that way we can be comfortable with one another as well as your doggy companion(s)! I work with my wife together doing Rover! We have home-based businesses and are always home. I will have 24/7 access to your little ones, and will be able to provide any and all care that is needed. We live in a 1,893 square foot home with a huge backyard, and a designated playroom for your fur babies. We can take your doggies on walks or have them wear themselves out in our backyard, which usually works like a charm. We do this because we are passionate and love it, and wouldn’t want it another way. Lastly, I pride myself in keeping pet owners in the loop of what is going on with their furry friends, so your minds can always be at ease.
“We have used Andrea 3 times and she is absolutely amazing We have a big dogs and a senior dog and she works perfectly with all of them! We are always nervous to leave our babies with someone but Andrea made sure she communicated and we knew our pups were in good hands! Thank you Andrea”
“Katia has watched our babies several times now and I have been so grateful for her care and love for our two dogs! She walks them even though she doesn’t need to, watered my plants while I was gone, and always sends lots of photos with each check in. We are so grateful to have someone you trust!”
“Great communication and very reliable. Took great care of Kaine while I was away and I know he enjoyed going to the dog park! Thank you again will definitely book in the future! 🫶”
About: Hi! I'm a biologist and lifelong animal lover with more than five years of experience caring for dogs and cats, as well as a lifetime of caring for my own family pets. I started looking after animals when I was just 10 years old, and they've always been an important part of my life. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going on long walks, playing, providing companionship, or simply making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. As a biologist, I have a deep appreciation for animal behavior and well-being, and I always treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to learn their needs and make sure they receive the same love and attention they get at home. You can count on me to be reliable, responsible, and communicative throughout every visit. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I will be starting graduate school soon, but I will have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I enjoy spending time with animals and would love to include walks, playtime, and other activities that keep them happy and comfortable. I would be happy to help with your pets whenever you need an extra hand. You can count on me to provide reliable, loving, and attentive care while you are away. Your pet's safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I have experience providing pet care in clients' homes, as well as house sitting for friends and family. My partner and I have cared for pets while homeowners were away, and they continue to trust us because we are dependable, respectful of their homes, and attentive to their pets' needs. I'm happy to follow your pet's regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic medications if needed, and giving them plenty of affection and attention. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, interactive play, or quiet cuddle time, I'll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I will also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I have had the pleasure of taking care of both cats and dogs. Life is just not the same without them. I have taken care of both puppies/kittens to senior dogs/cats. Which also means I have had plenty of practice of giving animals medications. I will make your animal feel safe when I am around. Currently I have an open schedule to help with any pet needs. Hopefully I will soon have a hybrid schedule which will allow me to continue to be flexible. I will treat your pet like I would my own. I will follow all instructions given to best help me help your pet. I will send daily photos because I know you will miss their sweet faces.
“I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Zeus. I'm so grateful for Michael. Not only did he take care of Zeus while I was out of town, but he helped to calm the anxiety Zeus had due to our lifestyle change. When I came home, Zeus was looking for Michael to come, not me. He was so much more calm and willing to obey commands.”
“I have her scheduled on 6 days week drop in visit repeatedly Always sends photos of Beau and have her board Beau on vacation very reasonable prices Excellent”
About: I have worked at a pet resort for multiple years, in which I monitor group play with a variety of temperaments, administer medication and care for dogs and cats on a daily basis. I’ve also had multiple dogs and cats throughout childhood, teenage, and in my adult years. I have experience with pets of all personalities and strive to learn more about each animal to be able to accommodate them to ensure they are most comfortable. I work 4 days a week, so I am able to pet sit/walk throughout the day mostly on weekends and Mondays, however my weekday off day could flex to Friday availability as well. I have 2 friendly dogs, one medium and one small with a fully fenced in backyard to keep your pet company! But they could easily be in our room for those that are picky with their friends. I also have 2 indoors cats but they could be sequestered for pets that may not enjoy feline company. I also have experience with crate training and potty training if applicable to your pup! I have the utmost respect for my client’s homes and their pet’s already established routines- no matter how extensive!
About: I grew up with cats my whole life. My family and I have fostered many cats and helped them find loving homes. I have four of my own fur babies with very different personalities and ages. They have dietary restrictions and preferences so I’m experienced with separating them during meal times. I specially have one that’s very greedy so I know the patience it requires when they start coming at the food while preparing it. When it comes to litter boxes I’m used to cleaning all types of litters and even the litter robots. I’ll take care of your babies as my own. Pet care fits into my weekly routine from anytime. I can make your schedule work since this is my full time job. Let me know what works best for you. I provide attention and care by following each cats routine, including feeding, fresh water, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of affection. I also keep their environment clean, safe, and comfortable.
About: I have worked at a dog grooming place for a few years now so im pretty comfortable with doggie care, I also know how to give nail trims if your pup is willing! Im currently in school as well as working but my schedule is pretty flexible outside of those two, Tuesdays and Thursdays are my only completely unavailable days. My fur babies have their daily vitamins and get taken outside quite often since they love to sunbathe. I can bring toys to play with your pups and im also used to putting my puppy up in her kennel for her naps, so depending on your routine with yours I can do whatever works for you.
About: I have grown up in a house that always had animals in it, especially dogs and cats. I have a few clients that I have been watching houses for— for years, I believe in making connections with your clients pets so there is no worry or stress between the pet parent and pet! I have lots of open free time as I am a freelance artist that works from home! So, in other words, I have my availability mostly open just need to have time to schedule I would be more comfortable in house sitting than boarding animals but for my own pets they are always inside, free roaming, only going outside when the dogs need to go potty!
About: My husband works full time while I am home with the dogs. But he works mornings and is home in the evenings! Most of my free time I am home loving on my fur-kids. If I could adopt every fur-baby out there that needs someone to love them, I would. But since I can't, I am trying to find ways to help! I have 4 resident Poms, Kenzie, Dippy, Starr, and Bandit. I also have one resident crested-Pom mix Brenner. I also have a few Foster Poms. We foster for Recycled Pomeranian's. No matter the temperament , breed, age, size, I love them all. I will treat your family member as if they were my own! I would love to take care of your baby for the day or for as long as you need. Your fur-kid(s) will be inside but will be taken out to potty and play outside frequently! We have a medium to large fenced in backyard. They are NEVER left alone while in the backyard. We have dog beds, toys, and crates as needed. You will need to supply the food. so your fur-kid will be comfortable with their own food. Also I can administer meds if needed. I hope you will let me watch your baby for you so he/she can have the time of their life being part of our family!
About: I love dogs. Growing up, I never got to have my own, so I started my own dog walking company in Hawaii when I was 10 years old and I just love being with dogs. I'm a very active, energetic, and dedicated person so having a companion to play with helps fill my heart. My current landlord doesn't allow me to have dogs so I love pet sitting/pet walking to fulfill that missing hole. I've doggy sat for dogs as little as chihuahuas to as big as Saint bernards so I always love a challenge. I work in REMOTELY from your home! My work schedule is 1130a-10p Friday- Monday. I just need a quiet place to work in the house & good wifi. If you do have a vocal pup & they become disruptive or wifi issues, I'd have to go into the office in Irving. If the start day lands on a work day, I would need to start before 11a or start after 8p to have time to get to/from your home during my shift. I love schedules! Tell me their routine, when to feed them, when to go on walks, when to give medication if needed and I got you. I also love going to dog parks so if your dog loves the dog parks, we will definitely visit the park on a regular basis. I'm very big on pictures. I provide dozens of pictures! I understand that you are leaving your baby with me, so I want to make sure you enjoy your time away knowing that your pup is with a trusted person. So I will be sending photos all day everyday.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Arlington
I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience using Rover! She made the entire process so easy and stress-free from the beginning. She took amazing care of my dogs, kept me updated, and truly made me feel like they were in great hands. I really appreciated how attentive and caring she was with them, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing someone was genuinely looking out for them.
Melissa was our saving grace last minute and the absolute best to our fur babies. Not only was she communicative and polite, she took special care of our two dogs and reassured us they were in great hands. I will certainly be booking with Melissa for our future Rover needs. 😊🐶🐶

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Arlington is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. 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 7,530 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Arlington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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. 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
