“I recently left my puppy, Suki, with Zachary and had a great experience! He did an awesome job - Suki came home happy, calm, and well cared for. I could tell she felt safe and comfortable there, and I got plenty of updates throughout the day. I am definitely planning on rebooking! Thank you for being so flexible, too!”

“Paris was lovely to deal with. She responded quickly and was flexible with our needs. Benji was well looked after, and given his medication promptly. He seemed very comfortable in her home. I would happily use her services again.”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple different types of pets in the past. I’ve dog sat my daughters dogs, along with my sons dogs as well. My family and I have taken care of birds, chickens, cats, dogs, and other kinds of farm animals. I treat them like they’re part of my family. I am a stay at home mom with a bunch of free time on my hands since all my kids are grown. I have one granddaughter that lives with us and also loves animals. I try to make them feel as comfortable as possible and keep them on the same schedule that they’d typically be on in your home.
“Fiorella was great with our pup! She watched Murphy for several days and by the second day he was running up to Fiorella to greet her. I appreciated the quick responses and ability to meet up last minute for a meet and greet prior to dog sitting. It was a great relief to know Murphy was in a safe environment all day with plenty of attention!”
About: I became a dog mom when I was 9 years old and got my first fur baby, Bubbles. It was my responsibility to take care of her: clean her kennel, give her food and water, take her on daily walks, go to vet appointments, and, most importantly, give her lots of attention and love. I give my fur baby all the things she needs to live happily as a senior day who is turning 11 this September 2024. And I would love for you to communicate with me any of your pet's personal needs like medication, diet restrictions, and more. It will be my pleasure to accommodate your pet's needs. Overall, the basic services I provide are feeding, walks, cleaning kennels, and petting, I'm currently working full-time, but I have a link to a spreadsheet where you can view my schedules and see when I'm available upon request. I only offer service at my client's home primary because I'm a college student who lives in an apartment with other students. So it's best for me to come by your residence to drop by for any other services you might need. Just message me, and we can work something out regarding the services you seek. Overall, the basic services I provide are feeding, walks, cleaning kennels, and petting, as well as any other services like grooming, administrating medication, and other special services, such as follow-up with me.
“David & Etiene were amazing we were traveling across the country and wanted to take a break from traveling and catch a rangers game our dogs needed a break from traveling too and we got them back the next day refreshed and ready to continue our journey”
“This was my first time leaving my puppy with a sitter. Mijo had a great time. I appreciate the photos and videos that were sent showing how well he was being taking care of. Mijo enjoyed running around in the spacious backyard with the other pups. Marc was very nice and very accommodating. I appreciate him taking such good care of Mijo. I would definitely use him again. Thanks Marc.”
“Celeste took good care of my puppy and was very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the booking. Everything went smoothly, and I appreciate her flexibility in pickup times.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was very young. Both our family pups have passed on through the rainbow bridge, while we miss them we are taking a break after 15 years of being dog owners. I love dogs and am a dog person. I have worked with the arlington animal shelter & search one rescue’s weekly training. One of life's greatest feelings is the love of an animal. I work for a nonprofit organization as a life coach within the Dallas school system, so my schedule closely follows school hours and holidays. This provides me with a consistent routine and flexibility outside of school times. I’m available most weekends and love incorporating daily outings and activities around the DFW area to keep pets active, engaged, and happy. I have a fenced in yard. Experience with dog crating. During the summer months I limit my personal pups’ time outdoors. We keep the animals in the first room from the front door with baby gates which is a large area we use for dining.
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.
About: I’ve been caring for my own pets since I was small. I’ve never lived without a dog, cat, both, guinea pigs or birds. I’ve pet sat for family and friends for 20 years, so I figured since I love it, I’d expand:). We have two sweet small dogs who love having friends over. I taught for 28 years but now work from home. My husband works from home too, and he also cares for pets with me. We have two daughters who’ve recently graduated college. Pets bring joy to an empty nest and unconditional love. I hope you consider letting your animals staycation at our home. We’d love to have them be a part of the family. Thank you so very much! I am on a flexible schedule and available daily and nightly to care for your pets. It is my pleasure to provide you peace of mind. I have a fenced yard and air-conditioned home where dogs are allowed to play, rest, and hang out. I have a sweet Shih Tzu and pug companion as well:)
“Tina was absolutely amazing. My dog felt so comfortable and less anxiety leaving her place. She even gave us a partying gift of treats . Her home was welcoming and I received pictures daily on updates on how my fur baby was doing at her stay. I would highly recommend and book again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Arlington
I was in town on work and brought my wife and pooch with me. I needed a place for my little guy to hang out while my wife was sightseeing. Zachary was great to deal with, prompt communication, regular updates and I could tell my dog had a great time every day. He was happy to arrive and was well cared for. When I’m back in town I’ll be sure to use Zachary again. Thank you for looking after my little guy.
Stefanie was so sweet! Greeted me & my pup so calmly, he adjusted so quickly. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day, and didnt hesitate to notify me when he was limping (from a previous injury i forgot to mention), which is so nice to know. 10/10!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Arlington commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 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.

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.
