“Sabrina made daily visits to care for my cat, Blu, while I was away. She was kind, attentive, and made sure Blu was well cared for by cleaning the litter box, refilling her water bowl, and giving her plenty of affection. I truly appreciated her reliability and care.”

About: I have had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, therefore I have been taking care of animals my entire life. Because I have had many pets before including dogs, cats, fish, etc., I know that when it is time to travel either for business or vacation, or you are simply too busy to take care of your pet, it is important to have someone you can trust to take care of your pets like they are their own. I am a careful pet sitter who respects the animals and gives them anything and everything they need. I want the pets to be comfortable whether they are boarding with me or I am going to them. When it is time to work, my animals are my priority.

“Ann was absolutely amazing! I had to leave town unexpectedly, and she stepped in at the last minute without any hesitation. She took such great care of my pup and kept me updated the entire time with photos and messages after every walk, which gave me so much peace of mind. Her communication, reliability, and genuine care went above and beyond my expectations. I truly can’t thank her enough for making a stressful situation so much easier. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, efficient, and incredibly kind to care for your pet, I wholeheartedly recommend Ann! 🐾❤️”

About: I have been a dog walker, dog bather, kennel tech, and worked at wildlife rehab. To say I love animals is an understatement, and I can't wait to meet and care for yours! I have been pet sitting in people's homes for nearly 20 years now, and have worked professionally with animals for many years. Dogs to Hedgehogs and snakes, tell me how to best care for your pets and I will exceed your expectations. I have watched over nursing puppies in shelters, and senior dogs in veterinary care and boarding, so I have experience with animals with anxiety and giving medications. I am on summer break from work at a local school, so your little ones will have my full attention. I do have a few 2/3 hr events two evenings a week, but I will be available for any pets in training, or who may need more frequents outdoor breaks. Because I understand that for many pets, consistency is very important, I try to stick as close to your regular walk/outside schedules as possible to make sure routines are kept just that*. Since every animal is different, I will let your pet lead the way with how much attention/ what kind of enrichment they like. I don't mean to brag, but my belly rubs are the bark of the town my neighborhood. **With the summer heat, I expect any walks taken will be very early or as the sun is setting so their paws are protected.

“I am so happy to have found Alice! She made the time to meet my two cats and they love her!! She managed to make my shy boy feel comfortable and safe, as he is easily distracted and afraid of strangers. She asked for clarification and suggestions on how to feed them, given my girl is hungry all the time and my boy is not food motivated at all. Alice helped me modify my Rover request to add a visit. I'm so thankful to have been able to leave my cats in her care. I will definitely hire her again in the future!”

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: Lifelong dog lover offering walks, playtime, snuggles, and in-home sitting. I specialize in giving pups the attention and routine they need to feel happy and secure while you are away! I am blessed to be able to work from home all week which gives me the ability to take breaks whenever the dogs need attention. I have a large fenced in yard and two fur babies to keep your dog company. I can crate your dog if that is your routine, or they can roam free.

“Samantha is absolutely incredible! She recently watched our four pets (two dogs and two cats) and provided the absolute best care we could have asked for. Right from the start, her attention and care stood out. On the very first day, our dogs had a couple of accidents, and Samantha handled the pee and poop cleanup immediately and communicated with me. Our cat Jasmine was feeling quite shy and hid for the first day, but Samantha took the time to look for her and coax her out of her hiding spot. After which, we received frequent pictures of our sweet girl. Overall, we received lots of updates and pictures during every single visit, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We are so grateful to have found Samantha and cannot recommend her highly enough for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Kelsey is really fantastic! She actually plays with my dogs during the drop-in (unlike other sitters I've had), even though they're old and grumpy sometimes, and if they're not in the mood to play, she at least talks to them and pets them. She's super-punctual and overall a lovely person.”

About: Growing up with animals, these furry friends have always had a special place in my heart! I have experience taking care of puppies, kittens, small dogs, big dogs, and senior cats/dogs. I always make sure that pets feel comfortable, get their exercise, and most importantly, have fun and feel loved! I am currently working part-time and receive my schedule 3 weeks in advance, so planning around my job is a piece of cake! I am always off work Mondays and typically only work 3-4 days a week, leaving plenty of spare time for your pets! I always make sure a pet feels safe with me, matching their energy and ensuring a patient approach if they're a little skiddish! I provide constant attention and care, monitoring their food/water and bathroom needs.

About: ❤️I love pets deeply; we shared 30 years with them, and when they’re gone, it’s because old age took them, after a life by our side.🐾 It fits perfectly; since I am very organized, I have time for everything I need to do during the day, and if I don’t have the time, I don’t take on jobs I can’t fulfill.”🕣 I’m going to take care of your pet with all my love, adjusting my schedule to their needs, so they can enjoy walks, good food, and a day full of comfort, as if their owner were at home. 😁🏡🐾

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 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.

Twelve out of 5 stars! Shelly dropped in twice daily to feed and love on my free roam rabbit. She really loved Shelly as she followed her around the house which can be pretty rare with new comers. 110% will be using Shelly every chance I can moving forward. She even confirmed that I made it back to town and didn’t need a last second emergency popover.

Wonderful experience! We just returned from a week out of town for our daughters wedding . We have never left our younger adopted cat before and refused to board him and make him think we "returned him" . We also have a needy old Persian with a bad attitude. Every one we know will be at the wedding too. What to do? Paris was the perfect answer for both our boys. She was easy to reach and sent pictures with each visit. They barely noticed we were gone (ouch!) :). Highly recommend Paris and Rover!

Corrina was awesome with my two cats! She played with my friendly, overly brave boy and won over my shy (okay, scared) girl. She adhered to my recommendations for care and schedules and asked applicable follow-up questions as needed. It was reassuring to have my pets in such capable and caring hands. I would absolutely recommend Corrina to anyone and rebook whenever our schedules align.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Arlington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Arlington on Rover is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 7,996 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Arlington. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.

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 .

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.
