“Katherine is great with our dogs, shows up on time and spends the full 30 minutes requested with them to make sure they get all the jitters out of their system.”
“Maya is so good with our dog. She’s patience and loving to him and as an owner super easy to communicate with and no worries about the safety of our dog. We would use Maya over and over again!”
“Great, my puppy really enjoy his walks with Rebecca, she is professional and keeps the communication with me , she is helpful and willing to meet my expectations”
“I have a reactive dog who is very sensitive. I'm always worried about finding a new sitter, but Bubba loves Christine! He always seems to be in a better mood when she visits.”
About: Hi, I’m Madie and I am a Zoology student and dog groomer! I began working with dogs in high school at a board and train facility and then trained to become a professional dog groomer. Now I am going back to school, studying Zoology and volunteering at the Dallas Zoo! I love any and all animals- I have two dogs, two cats, and two tarantulas myself. I would love to take care of your pets while you are away or need help with walks. I can also offer grooming services such as baths, nail trims, and haircuts if needed- just message me for rates! I am a full-time student and have full availability during the summer, with the exception of Monday and Fridays until 1pm- I volunteer with the zoo keepers at the Dallas Zoo these days! I take safety very seriously, especially when it comes to our furry friends! I keep a close, watchful eye over the dogs I watch and pay close attention on walks to ensure everyone is having a great time and staying safe!
“If I had to describe John in one word, it would be “amazing.” We are new to Dallas and needed someone to walk our two dogs on very short notice, and John was kind enough to step in and help. Our dogs are not difficult, but they definitely have their own personalities. One is a 120 lb German Shepherd who loves chasing squirrels (and climb trees to meet their families), rabbits, and sometimes even butterflies, and he also thinks he needs to make friends with every dog he sees. Our other one is an 18 lb Shih Tzu who is a little pampered and does not like walking in the sun. What really stood out to us was how patient, caring, and thoughtful John was with both of them. During the first couple of days, when our Shih Tzu decided he was done walking after finishing his business, John actually picked him up and carried him while continuing the walk because our German Shepherd still wanted more time outside. For the last few days, he even walked them separately so each of them could get the individual attention they needed. That level of care says a lot about John. He was always on time, courteous, respectful, responsible, and genuinely loving toward our dogs. We are very thankful for his help and would definitely look forward to having him take care of our boys again in the future.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for most of my life and currently have a senior yorkie named Bibi and a cat 🐈⬛ named Salem. I love them very much. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family throughout my life. I look forward to spending time with your fur baby. I’m currently working part time so my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m available on weekdays and weekends. I’d love to spend time with your fur baby in between times. I enjoy walking dogs and playing fetch with them and cuddling. As for cats I cuddle with them and keep their litter box spotless. I can also administer oral medications and would like to know if you have any special care instructions.
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!
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: I’ve had lots dogs growing up 5 at one time and worked on a farm with many animals and a pack of dogs I have a working dog myself currently that I love and take care of. I play college beach volleyball I usually train early in the morning but am available whenever I have a very flexible schedule to be needed whenever. I have a working dog and then a sweet pit mix I walk them daily and run my working dog on the regular 3 miles or more. I’ll play with them outside and give pets and cuddles. As well as I have my own cat Rio who I love and adore and make sure he gets attention as well
About: As a board certified behavior analyst, you can be sure your pet is in good hands. I have owned both dogs and cats. Reinforcement based methods are used :) I take my dogs out 3 times a day (morning, afternoon, and night) and feed them twice a day, morning and night. I allow them to lead walks unless I’m specifically training for them to walk beside me. I take pets to the local dog park (unless not desired by owner) and use treats as reinforcement for good behavior. I would also take them to get pup cups. I allow pets on the couch so that’ll likely be the spot your pup sleeps on!
About: I have an uncanny way with animals. It's as if I can read their body language and provide whatever they need. Loving on babies is clinically proven to release stress and I truly believe it works. I'm currently working on starting a floral business and I need the flexibility to work when I can. This is very flexible and it fits what I need. I have a rescue dog with high anxiety and over 4 years she is now acting how dogs act. I have a rescue dog I found tied to a tree, she's deaf and just about blind. It only took me a month and she completely came out of her shell. She now follows me everywhere I go and wags her tail, constantly. I found a baby kitten that was about 5wks old screaming under my car. It took me 4 days for him to allow me to pick him up and bring him inside. It only took 3 days of me showering him with love and now he thinks he runs the house, even though he's the smallest out of everyone.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a deep love for them. Growing up, my family had three dogs and four cats, so I gained years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. From feeding, walking, and playing to giving lots of love and attention, caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and provide dependable, attentive care you can count on. I currently just moved back to Texas from Maine so I’m looking around for jobs. I truly love animals and I'm hoping to get into that industry already. When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other special care your pet requires. I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. I’ll also keep your home clean and respectful, provide regular updates and photos so you have peace of mind, and treat both your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own.
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.

Melina has been wonderful with Nabi! Nabi always seems happy after her walks, and I have peace of mind knowing she’s in good hands. She’s caring, communicative, and has also been incredibly kind and flexible, which I really appreciate. I’m so glad I found her and would definitely recommend her!
Paris has taken care of my pets for some time now and she has always demonstrated being professional and caring, but most important she takes care of them as if they were her own pets. Both Luna and Astra love when she’s around and basically any other animal that interacts with her loves her immediately, I 100% recommend her to look over your pets very professional and trustworthy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Arlington on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 7,581 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Arlington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Arlington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Arlington.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Arlington. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
