“Jasmine and Stormi were great with Roxy. Roxy was transitioning between dog foods during her stay and Jasmine handled it like a pro. I would highly recommend Jasmine for your next trip.”
“Katerine and family were wonderful to my precious Joi. This was our first boarding experience where I needed overnight sitting at the last minute. There were much space and accommodations for Joi. I highly recommend!”
“My dog Shira had yet another wonderful stay with Nicole when my husband and I went abroad for a wedding. Not only Nicole took care of Shira in her home, she sent us many pictures of her stay. Nicole also visited our cat Morris every day and because our cat was feeling especially lonely, Nicole showed him extra loving and care with daily brushing and cat teaser play. Shira and Morris are looking forward to spending more time with Nicole right before Christmas, Nicole is a wonderful petsitter and communicator.”

“Nina is fantastic!! She was very attentive and affectionate with Cesare, sending me messages, photos, and videos so I could see how he was doing, which made me feel very happy and relieved. Cesare was very happy in every video, playing and receiving affection from her. Cesare will definitely be going back to Nina's house.”
“Excellent all around. Communication and care for my dog Tala could not have been more perfect. I really appreciate everything Kelly did to treat my pup like her own. Will be using her again for sure!”
“Kelly was a great dogsitter! She was very responsive and sent us pictures regularly, so we could relax and enjoy our vacation. And I think our dog had as good of a vacation as we did! Kelly played lots of fetch with him and made sure he was loved and spoiled.”
“Allie is wonderful! She has watched my pup twice and each time I’ve felt confident he is being very well taken care of. She was also incredibly understanding after weather delayed my flight home and I had to pick him up much later than expected. Would highly recommend!”
“Katherin was absolutely AMAZING!! This was Jaxon's first visit and he totally loves her and his visit!! She was loving, caring, energetic and completely focused on him and his needs. I would definitely recommend Katherin to all the worried fur parents as their baby's will be in EXCELLENT Care and we will be seeing her soon!!”
“Harley was so happy to go back to Jennifer and her wonderful family for a long weekend. He gets showered with love by Jennifer, her sweet daughter Ramsey, and Grandmom Anne! I’m so happy he gets a happy easy-going doggy friend in Khali, and experience with Pursey the cat. It’s so nice knowing that he is so beautifully cared for. Jennifer was extra kind this time, giving him medicine and more walks since he couldn’t run around her spacious front yard due to a healing injury. We love getting updates and adorable pictures throughout his time there. I’m not sure Harley really wanted to leave!”
“Elena was awesome!! Nala loved her and I came back to the happiest puppy! I asked her to be very communicative as I struggle to be away from my sweet girl and she did exactly that. Would recommend 10/10”
“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.”
“Leah was very patient with our high-strung dog and had her cuddling and happy after just 24 hours. We felt confident leaving our dog with her and plan to book her again!”
“Sabrina was so great hosting Ollie for a long weekend! He was super comfortable as soon as he got to her home and she provided great updates on how he was settling in. I really appreciated her communication and all she did to make him comfortable in her home. I'm sure he can't wait for his next visit!”
“Patrick was amazing, great communication, and super easy to coordinate with. My Bella came home relaxed and happy. I truly felt at ease knowing Bella was well taken care of. I highly recommend!”
“Cant say enough good things about Fathia! She used my go to person when I have to board Thelma the Great. She's attentive, nurturing and treats Thelma like one of the family. I am grateful for her competence and warmth and I always know that Thelma will have a great place to stay when I'm away!”
“Our dog Luna is an anxious dog who has stranger-danger with a lot of new people. Heidi and Mark were so amazing with her and we couldn’t believe how quickly she settled in and got comfortable with them! We received lots of text and photo updates during her 2-day stay which were helpful to know how she was doing. Thank you so much Heidi and Mark!”

Tina and her husband, Pat, took wonderful care of my dog, Maisy! Tina sent thorough updates and plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was out of town. I felt comfortable knowing Maisy was in such great hands. I would absolutely have them watch her again and highly recommend them!
Renee did a wonderful job watching my senior dog! My dog has a few senior-related health issues and Renee addressed them with lots of care and understanding. I also appreciated her sending lots of photos and updates throughout my dog’s stay. Could not recommend Renee more - thank you again for everything!
Julia was an absolute angel and lifesaver when our dog sitter through a different service cancelled a couple of hours before our vacation was set to begin. She took wonderful care of Rocky and it was obvious that he felt right at home. He loved playing with her dog, Pepper, and we got photo updates all of the time. It was such a relief to know he was happy and well taken care of. Rocky came back to us happy and playful. Thank you, Julia!
This was our second time leaving our dog with Madina and it was a lovely experience! She was incredibly accommodating with the drop off/pick up times and our dog could not be more excited to see her! She provided updates/pictures throughout the 10 stay and she had very timely responses to all of my messages. Will definitely book with her again!
Andrew was very accommodating with me booking at the last minute, and he took such good care of my dog Rufus. I was a little nervous at first since he has a bit of anxiety, but he took to Andrew very well. Andrew also makes sure to send plenty of pictures of your pup! I will definitely be using him again in the future!
Our dog had a great time at Brian’s place! Brian was very communicative before and during our booking sending lots of pics and updates. We felt confident that if needed, Brian wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to us. We look forward to booking again with Brian for our next trip!!!
Lillian was great with Camille and Ellie! They were able to take them in last minute when we were invited to a lake house that was not dog friendly. Camille is an older dog and they were very kind with her needs. They gave Ellie lots of snuggles, which are her favorite! They provided daily updates and photos and even had all of their stuff packed and ready to go when I came to pick them up.
Linda was amazing! I had to leave town last minute, and I had to extend an extra night, she made everything super easy and stress-free! It was my first time being away from Khyber and I was worried about leaving him, but she took such great care of him. I received multiple pictures and videos, which I loved! Khyber likes to play rough at times and frequently wants attention/affection. Her dogs were super friendly and immediately welcomed him into the pack! I felt so comfortable leaving him with her and will absolutely book again. Highly recommend!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Arlington on Rover is $53.5 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 7,836 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Arlington. About 91% of Arlington sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
