“Brian took amazing care of Jackie! He was incredibly communicative from the start, sending regular pictures and updates about her. It was particularly hot during her stay and Brian made sure that she was safe and kept a close eye on her after time in his lovely backyard. Jackie came home happy and healthy - all that you could ask for in a Rover stay. We will definitely be back to Brian’s house in the future!”
“Excellent experience with great communication and handoff! Morgan was very involved and considerate with a high energy dog. Took her on walks and parks to keep Hazel active. Daily pictures and updates kept us calm and confident that our pup was doing well. Highly recommended! Thank you! :)”
“Ewelina was fantastic, yet again! We've counted on Ewelina numerous times over the past year and can't recommend her highly enough. Our dog loves her to no end!”
“Lauren really saved us when we needed someone to care for Piper at the last minute. This is the second time that Piper has stayed with Lauren and Friday and it's clear she had a great time and was VERY well cared for. I loved the updates and all the photos that Lauren sent. THANK YOU, Lauren, you are wonderful, we appreciate you so much!!”
“My pup had a great weekend with Aisha over a long weekend. She was great about asking about what I was okay with her doing with my dog, like if it was okay to take him to the park with other dogs. It was my first time using a pet sitter so I was nervous to leave him, but she knew all the right questions to ask to make it a safe and fun weekend for him. I loved the picture updates of how my pup's weekend was going and hearing about what they did that day, and all the communication about her daily schedule and plan for potty breaks. Would definitely recommend her and will be booking again when we need a sitter again!”
“My dog had an fantastic stay with Charlie. From the initial meet and greet through drop off and pick up, I really appreciated Charlie’s attention to detail and excellent communication. It was clear from the start that he was focused on making sure my dog had the best stay possible. The photos and updates I got showed how comfortable Stewie was with Charlie and that he was having a great time. Highly recommend Charlie!”
“Alexis, Andrew, and their boys did an amazing job of making Pepper feel comfortable and happy. Regular pics of Pepper was sent to me and she looks very happy in every pic. I would recommend this family for anyone looking for a dog sitter. Thanks again for caring for Pepper.”
“Terrific experience with Leah caring for our senior puggle Chester for a whole week. We got lots of pictures and Chester was very chill when we picked him up. We would definitely board with Leah again in the future.”
“Michelle did a great job taking care of my sweet Greta! She sent me pics throughout her stay, and Greta looked very comfy with her. She came home safe, healthy and happy, and I couldn't ask for better. I would totally recommend Michelle's services to others.”
“Kathleen is great! We’ve had her dog sit our timid and a bit anxious dog three times now and each time Kathleen has been patient and communicative. Our dog is a big fan of hers as well.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs since I was very young, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have a pug, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like walking, feeding, bathing, and giving lots of love and attention. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to look after their pets, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m currently a nursing student on break, and most of my classes during the semester are online. This means I’m home full-time on all non-clinical days and have plenty of time to give your pets my full attention. My schedule is very flexible, so I’m available most days for walks, drop-ins, and boarding. Safety is always my top priority. I grew up with dogs and currently have a sweet pug, so I’m very comfortable handling pets of all sizes and personalities. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and I always make sure dogs are supervised, fed on schedule, and kept in a safe environment. I’m happy to crate your dog if needed, follow any routines you prefer, and give your pup plenty of love and attention while you’re away.
“Blu had another amazing weekend with Michelle and Jeremy! They’re always so flexible, attentive, and caring with Blu — we know he’s in great hands every time. Highly recommend! 💙🐾”
“Corina is a the best! My Clyde always returns happy and I'm starting to think he might love going to her place more than our home 🤣 An absolute professional whose mindful, loving attention to detail will give you the peace of mind you want when leaving your beloved fur-baby under her careful watch.”
“Debra is amazing! I appreciate how thorough she was in ensuring that the arrangement was a good fit for all of us but particularly for Nova who spent a wonderful weekend getting all the love and attention from Debra. We look forward to more weekends with Debra.”
“Veronica and Max got along so well, he wouldn’t leave her side! He even went after once I picked him up. It’s always a great feeling knowing your pup is happy when you leave him with new people. And Veronica was just that for him, which is why he was able to warm up to her so quickly. Thank you! Definitely recommend.”
“Alyce and her family took amazing care of Vera! She was very communicative and sent lots of updates. Her dog Mookie is super sweet and got along with Vera so well. We will definitely be coming back!”
“Oriana did an excellent job caring for my standard poodle for 9 days. She sent many pics of him having fun in her big backyard. She also took extra time to mix green beans into his food to encourage him to eat. My dog did not want to come home. Would use again!”
“Emma did an amazing job watching my dog. She was easy to coordinate with for drop off and pickup and very responsive to texts. She also did a great job of sending pictures and providing updates of how his stay was going. I would highly recommend Emma and will def plan to reach out to her again for future trips requiring an amazing dog sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arlington
This was my first time utilizing dog sitting services, I was really nervous about leaving Boss altogether. Christy responded to my inquiry in a timely manner, set up a meet and greet quickly, and was understanding to this being my first time during this process. She was very accommodating to all my questions before and during Boss’ stay. She kept me updated with messages, pics, and a video and was reassuring at times that I was worried. She responded quickly when I reached out as well. Throughout Boss’ stay I felt he was being treated with love and care. Even when he wasn’t eating in the beginning Christy brainstormed ideas with me and picked up an item I forgot at home. I truly am thankful for her taking care of my Boss and making our first dog sitting experience pleasurable!
Spencer was amazing! He watched Sophie for 10 days and sent me tons of photos throughout her stay, which I absolutely loved. He took her on so many walks and hikes, and she had the best time hanging out with the other dogs. I’m a nervous dog dad when I leave her, but seeing how happy she was made me feel so much better. When I picked her up she was so happy and clearly had the best time — she was proudly letting her new dog friends introduce themselves to me! Would 100% leave Sophie with Spencer again!
Sara and her partner are amazing people and sitters for our Pivo. They provided a warm, safe, and welcoming home away from home and Pivo was always so excited to see them and their dog, Cappie. It's been the very best comfort to know that our pup is being loved when we're not there.
Heather recently watched our senior pug Lucas while we went out of the country for 5 nights. He had a great time with her! She definitely knows dogs and provided a cozy, calm environment for him at her place. She has a lot of outdoor space available for walks too. Our guy felt right at home with her and came back rested and relaxed. Heather is a strong communicator and kept in touch throughout the stay. I felt very comfortable knowing that Lucas was in good hands. We will definitely reach out again when we need a sitter.
Our Labrador, Gypsy, loves spending time with Emma. Emma shared daily pictures and updates of Gypsy daily while we were traveling out of the country for a week. Emma is super responsive and easy to work with. This was Gypsy’s second visit with Emma and we highly recommend her!
Hannah was fantastic! She took great care of my cat who came home (after four weeks!) clearly feeling loved and attended to in my absence. She asked the right questions, found a solution after I forgot to drop off a key item, and kept me updated while I was away. She was great!
As always, our dog thrives and feels at home when staying with Dana and Zack. This time around, we especially appreciated their flexibility when our travel plans went awry and we did not return home as planned. We look forward to more stays for our dog in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Arlington on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of August 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 7,799 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Arlington. About 90% 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.
