“Christine is the best! She’s watched my dog several times now, and I always feel at ease knowing she’s in great hands. The backyard is a huge bonus and gives her plenty of space to run and play, which she loves. Christine is great about sending updates and photos, which I always really appreciate. It’s clear my dog feels right at home there, and I couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”
“Ollie has the best time with Donna and always comes back so happily tired! And we love all the adorable updates she sends. Ollie is excited to head back to Donna’s next week for more fun!!”
“Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.”
“Laurie and Richard helped me last minute when I struggled to find a dog sitter on a holiday weekend. They were also very accommodating to my travel schedule which was a little flux. My dog can be rather anxious but she quickly warmed up to them. The fact that they have a house with a yard was also a benefit to my pup! They also are true animal lovers and very patient with each animals needs and making sure they are comfortable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”
“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.”
“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 was wonderful throughout the entire boarding process. She was so professional and responded to all of my texts promptly. My pup unfortunately was feeling a bit unwell during her stay, but Kerstyn was a pro at both managing my dog’s needs and putting me at ease. I would absolutely recommend booking with Kerstyn!”
“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!”
“Elizabeth was FANTASTIC! She was so thorough in understanding Hudson’s needs, sent tons of picture and video updates, and kept him entertained all weekend. She even flexed with our schedule to make sure he was taken care of no matter when our travel plans shifted due to all the uncertainty in the area. 10/10 would book her again and again!”
“Our experience with Erin was wonderful. She really knows how to care for your dog like her own and I could tell my dog Luna had a great time staying with her. She was very communicative and gave updates/pictures through Luna’s stay. Def would go with Erin again!”
“Our dog had a great stay with Kelly. She was very responsive and provided photos throughout his stay. He arrived home the next day and napped for hours, which is a sign for our energetic dog how much fun he had with Kelly! We will definitely use her again!”
“Jodee, AJ and Maverick took care of our Daphne as if she was there own. She had a blast playing with Maverick and touring their neighborhood!!! Thank you for making Daphne feel at home❤️”
“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).”
“Our dog loves Ewelina more than anyone, enough us I think! 😂 She is truly fantastic and we always check with her first when we need someone to watch our needy boy for us. Can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Danyelle was fantastic! Treated my dog as her own, really responsive during the stay and sent photo updates. My pup is currently in a cone to prevent licking and she was great at following some specific needs. Absolutely would recommend and we’ll be back :)”
“Francise was great! She was able to accommodate us on short notice when our plans changed and was super sweet with Seamus. We got lots of pictures of him while we were away and I was very comfortable he was being well taken care of. I would absolutely use her again!”
“Emma was absolutely amazing! She kept me up to date with the cutest pictures and Malibu really enjoyed her time with her. I can’t wait to book with her again!”
“Caroline was so sweet with our dogs. She went out of her way to construct a ramp to protect their backs on the stairs, which was so thoughtful of her. We appreciated it very much. She was very communicative, we received pictures and updates every day. Our dogs enjoyed their time with her and her pets. They came back to us healthy and happy.”

Astrid had a blast with Michelle, yet again! Michelle was communicative, incorporated Astrid into her daily routine, and was more than happy to accommodate Astrid’s needs and quirks. She was also super flexible and understanding when we had to extend the stay due to unexpected changes to our travel plans. We will absolutely book her again in the future! She’s the best 💕
Michel was absolutely outstanding. She took exceptional care of Althea and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent from start to finish, with regular updates, photos, and quick responses whenever we reached out. It was clear that Althea was receiving plenty of attention, affection, and individualized care. Everything was handled professionally and exactly as promised. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which says more than anything else could. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Michel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring sitter. Thank you for treating Althea like one of your own.
Clyde had a flawless stay with Spencer!! Spencer sent us detailed updates and fantastic photos of Clyde playing with the other dogs, snoozing, and snuggling every single day. Just an all-round great experience. We could tell that our dog was extremely happy and well cared-for. Already booked our follow up stay!
Michelle was so wonderful with my Ava! She was very communicative, responsive, and did an excellent job caring for Ava. This was our first time using Michelle’s services for overnight sitting and I would recommend her to others. She’s very kind and her dog Murphy was also very sweet! Ava came home very happy and I am more than satisfied with Michelle’s pet sitting services!
Our dog had a great time staying with Lucas! He was very kind and professional. He took very good care of our dog and took her out on adventures while being mindful of the high heat index, which we really appreciated. Our dog gets scared around fireworks, so we were nervous about leaving her for the 4th of July, but he did a great job accommodating her anxious quirks and making her feel right at home. Would definitely recommend and will be using again!
Our dog Jea received exceptional care. Roxanna provided clear communication, reliability, and genuine compassion. Daily pictures, timely walks, and attention to Jea’s specific needs made the entire experience stress-free. Jea returned home well-exercised, content, and clearly bonded with Roxanna. I highly recommend Roxanne to anyone seeking top-tier pet care. We’ll definitely be coming back to her. Thank you, Roxanna!
Caroline was absolutely amazing! She was so kind, thoughtful, and communicative. She treated my puppy as if he were her own. She sent regular pics and updates and even celebrated his birthday with special treats and a candle. My dog had a total blast with her and I was able to fully enjoy my vacation knowing he was in wonderful hands. I enthusiastically recommend her.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Arlington
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Arlington on Rover is $54.91 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 7,635 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Arlington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Arlington sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Arlington landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Arlington home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Arlington.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Arlington sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
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 VA 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
