Dog Sitting in Arlington

“Tara was so so wonderful with my cats! Both of them have separation anxiety and it was their first time with a sitter. I came home to them playing and doing their normal activities with no anxiety. Tara even got my shyest one to come out of her shell.”

“Mei is the best!! She took great care of our cats while we were out of the country and made us feel so much more comfortable knowing they were in good hands. She sent great updates and lots of cute pictures which were always the highlights of our days :) Thank you for everything Mei, we will definitely reach back out in the future!!”

About: I have years of personal experience caring for animals, including training my own golden retriever, Prince, who’s now almost 10. I started training him as a puppy, and I still love teaching him new tricks to keep him engaged, happy, and to improve our bond. Prince has also received care from Rover sitters, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust. I have high standards for how he’s treated, and I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I look after. I’m patient, kind, and always focused on making sure every pet feels safe and happy. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for, just like I do with my own dog. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine right now because I’m in college and have lots of free time over the summer. I am able to dedicate my days to giving pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. During visits, I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by taking things at their pace. I give them plenty of attention, follow all care instructions carefully, and keep their space clean and secure. I am attentive to all pets' needs, whether it’s going for a walk, playtime, feeding, or just providing company.

“Ethan was incredibly considerate and diligent with caring after our cat!”

“Shereen was excellent with my older greyhound, Buddy. She thought of various ways to make him comfortable while I was away and did a great job of keeping me updated with pictures and videos everyday. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a great dog sitter.”

About: I grew up with dogs and have a deep love for them, even though I don’t currently have one of my own. This gives me an extra dose of excitement when I get to spend time with other people’s dogs! I understand the care, attention, and energy dogs need, and I’m dedicated to providing a safe and fun environment for your furry friend while you're away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine! With a flexible schedule, I make sure to prioritize my pet’s needs. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding, or grooming, I adapt my day to ensure they’re happy and healthy. I enjoy incorporating their care into my activities, making it a fun and rewarding part of my life! I offer drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting right at your place, since my apartment isn’t the best setup for watching pets. During drop-ins, I make sure your pet gets fed, has fresh water, and some quality playtime. For walks, I focus on keeping them active and happy. And when I’m pet sitting, I stick to a routine that includes feeding, play, and plenty of love. I want your pets to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! If your dog is VERY strong and pulls A LOT, I absolutely require a meet and greet to make sure I can safely walk with them on a leash if leash walking is required. Also if payment for parking is required. I will request reimbursement.

“Stacy, is an incredible person. She went above and beyond all expectations. Unfortunately Sylvester became critically I'll while we were traveling and Stacy was put in an impossible situation. We had to ask her to take Syl to the vet and ultimately be with him as he passed on. She was amazing. She never stopped communicating with us, linked us with the vet, and allowed us to give Syl a final voice message. We will never be able to thank her for what she did for us. Stacy is one of the best people we have ever worked with and we will forever be in her debt.”

I am a pet lover with 20+ years of experience and have sat furry friends with a plethora of personality types: shy, high energy, laid back, playful, and many, MANY more.

I have a unique schedule in that I leave work at 2:00 PM, which makes me available during the work day!

The safety of your family member is of utmost importance to me. Whether we’re going on a walk or dropping in to let your pet outside, I provide a calm and relaxing environment every time. closely follow any instructions you provide regarding diet, medications, routines, or special needs to ensure consistency and care.

About: I’ve been a go-to dog sitter for years- starting with helping my old roommate raise her puppy for 3 years. I’ve regularly cared for my family’s dogs (big and small!) and am always the reliable friend who’s happy to dog sit. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or keeping up with the routines, I love making pets feel safe and loved while their humans are away! I was recently laid off and am actively job searching, but in the meantime, I’d love to care for your pets! I’m readily available at all hours and happy to help whenever needed. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and will treat yours life my own. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, keeping them happy and relaxed in their familiar space. I follow routines closely and treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

“Christine was wonderful! We had just moved to the area and were looking for a pet sitter last minute. She was very attentive and I felt very comfortable leaving my pet with her. Would highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 6 years old, growing up with a Golden Retriever and a German Shepherd. I’m now 22 and have spent years caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds through pet sitting, walking, feeding, bathing, and playtime. I’ve also fostered multiple dogs from different animal shelters, giving them the love and care they needed while preparing them for their forever homes. Though I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I treat every pup like they’re family — with patience, affection, and lots of attention. I currently work full time, but most of my work is done from home. Occasionally I may be out for around 4 hours, but otherwise, I’m home and available throughout the day. I love staying active, so taking dogs on walks and playing with them is something I truly enjoy! I have a fenced yard and a cozy, dog-friendly home with plenty of toys and beds for your pup to enjoy. While I don’t currently have any dogs of my own, I have years of experience from growing up with my two dogs who both lived until 14 years old. Your pet’s comfort and safety will always come first with me!
