“Christine was great. She was patient with our year-old dog on his first stay away from home without us. This was in spite of his puppy energy and the fact that he apparently cried his first night there and stole a number of items, including at least one shoe. He seemed calm and relaxed when we picked him up — happy to see us but not frantic. In other words, after some initial anxiety, he appears to have calmed down and enjoyed himself.”
“I needed 5 hours of dog care for my newly rescued senior Pomeranian and I’m so grateful to have found Donna. Donna provided a calm and caring environment for my dog to feel comfortable and relaxed, and they took a 20 minute walk together. Thank you so much, Donna!”
“Matt and Kelly (and their sweet daughter!) took great care of Robbin while I was away! They took her on plenty of walks and runs and I received pictures while I was away which was very much appreciated.”
“Laurie and Rich were so kind and caring for our little Frodo. From their photos, he was clearly comfortable in their home and yard. They kept us updated with his adjustment as it was his first time with them. When they expressed concern when he did not eat his dinner, we assured them that he does skip meals. We were lucky to find them available for our mini vacation. Thank you, Laurie and Richard”
“My dog Oscar had a great time with Noah and his pups. Oscar gets nervous meeting new people, and Noah was very kind and gentle with him. Oscar LOVED playing with Rusk and River, and warmed up to their home right away. He had a lot of fun, and has since tried to steer towards their apartment on our regular walks.”
“Amazing care. She sent pictures of my dog everyday. She even let me extend last minute which was appreciated. He had an amazing time with her and I will be rebooking with her. Thank you again.”
“Evan and Megan were great sitters! They communicated well the entire time we were gone and sent us pics to keep us up to date on how our puppy was doing. Highly recommended.”
“Nani is a fantastic sitter. She is kind and treats your pup like her own. She is patient and flexible. My dog really enjoys his stays with her. I highly recommend her. I love the updates and photo’s too.”
“Erika takes such great care of our little guy, and is incredibly responsive & gives him quality when we’re away from home. She’s reliable and keeps us updated during his stay. Highly recommend to other Rover users!”
“Brianne was great with my dog. She was conscientious and communicative, and I appreciated her location and timing flexibility when our flight was delayed. Would definitely book again.”
“We had Ewelina watch our pup two weekends in a row and Peach loved her time there. Ewelina is kind, extremely active, clean and responsive. Our dog can be a little anxious/overly excited and we knew she was in such good hands. We cannot wait to use Ewelina again. We are so thankful for her patience.”
“Leah was amazing!! She was super flexible with drop off and pick up. My dog is a little but shy and nervous around new people and when I picked him back up again I could tell he was so happy and comfortable with her!”
“Don’t know how to say this in short, Erin is fantastic and took care of my handful beagle like her own. I was worry free during my absence thanks to her caring and lovely attitude. Erin , we will definitely see you soon. ?”
“Elizabeth was wonderful! Super communicative, sent lots of pictures, and was proactive about making sure our dog was as comfortable as possible during her stay. It was clear that she is knowledgable and experienced in caring for all kinds of dogs.”
“Kelly has watched my older lab a few times now and we are so thankful to have found her. She takes great care of him and has helped me out of a couple binds (last minute drop-off/pick-up changes and stays).”
“Danyelle is really flexible. I had a last minute booking that I needed due to a family emergency and she was able to accommodate me. This is the second time she's watched my dog and I will definitely recommend her.”
“With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!”
“Briana was amazing with our dog! You could tell our dog was comfortable with her out the gate. I usually send my dog with toys because i'm never too sure but Briana had it all! Toys, bowls and blankets! She kept me up to date and sent pictures as well! 10/10 recommend and will be using her services again! :)”
“Kerstyn took great care of our pup Jane! We received daily updates plus photos. Jane also loved playing with Freya! One thing we appreciated was Kerstyn’s patience with Jane, who is slightly anxious and needs a little time to get used to new situations.”
“Alyce and her family were so welcoming of Breck for his recent sleepover. I got lots of updates and felt completely comfortable leaving my pup with them for a stay. They made us feel like family! I will 100% book with them again.”

Arlington dog parents share their Rover experiences
Lidia and Luiz were beyond kind and loving to our sweet puppy maple. Lidia made sure Maple was treated like a a new family member of their household. She also meticulously reviewed and implemented all of the little details in Maples care sheet. We would absolutely use them again to board our pup.
Jeremy and Yilien are wonderful sitters! We had done a meet and greet beforehand and it was clear that our two dogs would feel right at home. They were really communicative and provided pictures of our dogs. We have already re-booked with them and look forward to using them in the future.
Leila was so so great watching Pixel for us while we were out of town. She sent so many updates and pictures. We could tell Pixel was comfortable and had a good time with Leila. She even went above and beyond by dropping Pixel off at our place for us. We will definitely use her again!
I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. My 9 year old dog had had his teeth cleaned right before I left for a work trip. Helen toon such great care of him from giving him is medication, taking him on long walks, and loving him as if he was her own. She sent pictures and updates daily. I wasn't worried at any point. I highly recommend Helen as a sitter.
Kasia is fantastic. During our black lab's boarding this weekend, she kept us in the loop on everything with lots of photos and video updates throughout our trip, so we always knew our pup was happy and well cared for. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, quick to respond and easy to coordinate with. We came home to a relaxed, happy doggo and never had a moment of worry while we were away. If you're looking for a boarder you can fully trust, Kasia is it. Highly recommend!
Great experience! My regular sitter wasn’t available, so I tried Victor for boarding and couldn’t be happier. They communicated clearly, sent daily photos, took my dog Yaara on walks, and spent quality time with him. Most importantly, my dog seemed relaxed and unstressed after. I’d definitely book with Victor again.
Laurie and Rich always take great care of Louie! He has health issues and can be fussy with food and medicine but Laurie and Rich are patient and caring and I’m never worried about leaving him with them. They also send several photos throughout the day and give regular updates.
