About: I love being around animals so I would care for your pet(s) as if they were my own. I’m assertive but kind and haven’t had issues in the past with dogs listening. I’m currently a graduate student at UNT taking the majority of my classes online. Because of this I have a lot of free time and flexibility with my schedule. I live in an apartment so for dog walking I would take your pet(s) to local/safe parks to allow them to exert some energy and get in some exercise. For drop ins I will make sure your pet(s) has clean and fresh water, gets fed, and is able to go out.
About: I have been around Large and Medium size dogs my whole childhood, and would often care for them on my own for days to a week at a time. I get along well with both cats and dogs. I go to college and have classes Tuesday-Thursday, I often have lots of school work and I hope to integrate that into my pet-sitting. When caring for your pets, I will give them the exercise they need through walks and playtime while also giving them lots of cuddles so they are not lonely during my stay.
“I highly recommend Alicia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. Alicia accepted my last-minute request with no hesitation. Tony and I are both very grateful!”
About: I have watched pets for several friends in the past and look forward to watching yours! My current dog is well trained by my husband and I for hunting & is very obedient! I am a nurse who works just 2 days a week so have a lot of free time on my hands to care for your animals! I use Rover myself when needed for my dog! Our pup is the light of our life right now and enjoys being outdoors just as much as we do!
“Sabrina is always great with walking Aubergine and they walk really far together ! Very sweet friendship they have and Aubi is always excited to see her. Thank you!”
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 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: 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.
“Ozzy absolutely loves Sara—and so do we! She connected with him right away, even practicing some of his tricks during their walk. We especially appreciated the adorable photos she shared of our sweet pup. Thank you so much, Sara!”
About: I've loved animals ever since I was young but I like to call them family cause losing one of them is like losing my actual kids. I worked a couple yrs with all kinds of pets while having amazing customer service, patience & Love for all pets. I'm such a pet lover that my first wedding band was lil dog collars, I wanted to be a Vet growing up but I can't handle seeing hurt babies, I can't even watch the ASPCA commercials. So I'd rather enjoy making them happy & celebrate them instead. I'm new to all of this but please give me a chance to show you & your fur babies that I'll treat your babies like I treat mine, I promise. I'm currently not working cause I take care of my mom but I've got extra time in my days & I would truly enjoy using that time for cute lil fur babies! I'm really good with pets that I've even been called the animal whisper lol but I feel that pets can tell good people & I'm a funny loving person with a huge heart for pets. I can't even watch the commercials... Breaks my heart.
About: I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 6 years and truly love providing pets with a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing, I adapt my care to match their routine. I currently work part-time, which allows me to provide attentive and flexible pet care. While I’m unavailable on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have open availability most other days and can accommodate a variety of schedules. I always make sure pets receive plenty of time, attention, exercise, and care. I live in a pet-friendly apartment and maintain a calm, clean, and safe environment. I’m experienced sharing space with pets and always prioritize supervision, comfort, and safety. I carefully follow each owner’s preferences and can separate pets if needed to ensure a stress-free experience.
About: I have owned many dogs from Shepherds to yorkies. I love taking care of animals and I'm very active so taking an extra walk or two is good with me.

I have a lot of free time and would love to spend it with your beloved pets. I have many years of experience taking care of all sorts of pets.

“Linda was polite and receptive to all information/requests I shared regarding my pup. Aside from the excellent care provided, she was courteous enough to go the extra mile by cleaning up any messes my dog (Or I) left laying around in the common area! I highly recommend her services!”

I don’t do certain holidays but we can negotiate about that later on I can’t wait to meet you and your furry babies.

And in an emergency I know to always Stay calm, contact the parents and/or vet ASAP, and transport the pet safely if needed.
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 am a retired professional athlete who absolutely adores dogs. If I’m being honest, I might like dogs more than people but don’t tell my wife lol. I have had a dog in my home since the age of 5 and I will do anything to make sure your baby has the most amazing time. I have 2 fur babies of my own, a 12 year old low maintenance chiweenie and an outside loving lab mix. So whatever energy your pup has, I have 1 that matches that energy. Whether your pup needs a walk or a place to crash while you live your best life, I promise they will be in the best hands with me! I work from home but my pups still run my world. Don’t tell my boss but my pups are always my first priority. Whatever your pup needs, I will make sure it happens Safety is my top priority, I know where the dogs are at all times. Animals have feelings too and I will treat them with the same respect and care as I treat anyone else

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Arlington
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.

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.

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.

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.
