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
“My little Louie absolutely loves staying with Jennifer and looks forward to attending four days a week. She is nurturing, attentive, and highly skilled at managing multiple responsibilities. Jennifer made our first week of daycare a very positive experience by providing thoughtful updates throughout the day, which was both comforting and reassuring. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone seeking reliable and compassionate care for their pets!”
“We’re super happy having met Melinda, from the start Canelo seemed so comfortable with her, and when we went pick him up he was so calmed, we would leave Canelo with her many many times!”
“Teresa was the sweetest person. I loved just how communicative she was and her quick responses whenever I needed to reach out or ask questions. I could tell just how much she loves dogs from her reaction when she saw Molly. Knew instantly Molly would be in good hands. I got to meet and interact with their two dogs Yuzu and Remy a little bit when I dropped Molly off and both were absolutely awesome. Very well behaved and sweet pups. Gave me full confidence they were great owners and treated their dogs very well. I had to book this last minute because something came up and Teresa was very receptive and understanding. No hassle at all needing to look after Molly on such short notice. Can't recommend them enough!”
“Donna came to our rescue today when we needed a sitter very last minute. Kali had a great time. If we come back to town we will definitely use her again! Thank you again!”
“Tainara is wonderful with my dog. She is very flexible with pickup and drop-off times. Tainara always attaches pictures from each day. She loves the dogs like her own. Great communication. Would highly recommend Tainara.”
“We had a wonderful experience. Lucho was very well taken care of, and we received updates and photos throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. He can be shy at first, and the patience and kindness he received made a big difference. We will definitely book again and highly recommend!”
“Rufus had a great day with Christine and her pups while we went to a meeting while visiting in the area. Christine was easy to communicate with and flexible with drop off and pick up. She will definitely be our first choice if we need someone to care for Rufus when we are in the area in the future!”
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: Ever since I was a child, I have grown up around dogs. Our childhood house was always the house where dogs were always welcome. Fast forward to my own house, own pups, and it’s the same hospitality. Our house is the ultimate doggy day care and hotel with a yard, doggy door (for those smarter pups), and local park to walk and play at. Safety is a top priority for my pup, and those I watch. I treat every dog like my own and know our precious babies are irreplaceable. PS, I’m the guy who plays dog tv for Ari, my golden retriever. Currently work from home with my wife. Plenty of free time to walk, fetch and snuggle. I live near the airport so we are an easy drop off for travelers. Our home is in a quiet neighborhood. We have a fenced yard with a tall fence. We have dog sat dogs of all sizes and tempers and have a good sense of social skills and situations. We have hosted up to 5 dogs in our house at once and know to separate social time from rest time.

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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,914 sitters in Arlington, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
