“Francise was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Ollie! She took him on lovely walks around town, helped him meet new people, and made sure he got plenty of exercise and attention. It was clear she genuinely cared about his happiness and well-being. I came home to a very content pup! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Christian truly saved the day for me during a family emergency. She responded quickly, was very flexible, and took such good care of Caia. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Caia was with someone so kind and reliable. I’m very grateful and would absolutely trust her again.”
“This was the third time that Nyla and Corey watched my dog Coco and they have consistently provided an excellent level of care. They send regular updates and pictures and really make sure my dog feels comfortable in their space. I highly recommend them for dog boarding services.”
“Ewelina did a great job boarding Deogie! She was flexible, working around my schedule for the pick up and drop off and gave me updates during the visit.”
“Isai was great to work with for my dog. Just a short stay this time but he was easy to coordinate drop off and having a friend pick Watson up at the end. I felt that Watson was in good hands.”
About: Hi there - I’m Kiera! I have a happy, healthy pup of my own, as well as years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and routines. I treat every dog with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I work fully remote so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for regular walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and companionship, and I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I take safety and supervision seriously and always follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully. I keep pets comfortable, maintain a clean environment, monitor their behavior closely, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while they’re in my care.
“Helena and Nathan were good communicators, sent photos and were flexible for Bruno's stay. They accepted our last minute request and also helped get his medication from the vet when we were out of town. Would recommend. Bruno seemed to have enjoyed his stay at the house with other dogs.”
“Rodrigo was a lifesaver on multiple occasions in just a few short days - accepting a frantic last minute booking I had when some plans fell through and being very patient and helpful dealing with unexpected travel delays on my return. Plus I could tell Watson had a great time and got along super well with the lovely Luna. I have actually already booked again as I knew Watson is in good hands. Thanks Rodrigo!!”
“Completely positive experience for both me and our dog, Oliver. Alyce and her husband, Rob, are exceptionally responsible and caring people who clearly take seriously their role and duties of caring for your pet. They hosted me and my pet at their home for a meet and greet (of them, their dog and us) that covered all relationships and questions regarding stay and care of our dog prior to either of us locking in the booking. During our pet’s stay with.Alyce, he received the very best personal care, was very well accommodated and Alyce went above and beyond to keep me posted with my pet’s integration into their family and how he was adapting to their home. All this gave me great confidence that he was being cared for and was totally comfortable with his time with them. Upon picking up my pet, Alyce took time to cover her impression of my pet and how he fared and about his daily adjustments. My pet was very happy upon my arrival and clearly had been cared for properly and with great attention and concern by Alyce. I could not be more pleased with this experience and would recommend Alyce without any hesitation as a very responsible and reliable Pet Sitter. You can put your full trust and confidence in Alyce to care for your pet while you are away. She is the best.”
“Madina did a great job of helping Penny get the hang of spending the night away from her humans. Our dog was happy and well-rested in the morning. Madina was also very responsive and proactive with communication during Penny's stay.”
“Aisha must have been great because my dog didn’t seem like he was ready to leave when I picked him up. Aisha sent pictures and messages about how Poppy was doing while he was with her and he looked happy. I will definitely use Aisha again.”
“Cooper had a great stay with Melanie’s family! He had a great time and she sent us many adorable photos! Would recommend to anyone and will be booking again for our future travels!”
“Brogan did a wonderful job watching Sammy! :) She gave me frequent updates and was very responsive, I felt safe and comfortable leaving him in her hands.”
“Rut did an excellent job watching Zoe in her home. She was very clear about drop-off and pick-up instructions, and she sent many updates and pictures each day of my trip. I was never once worried about my dog! I will definitely use Rut again.”
“Lauren is amazing. She sent so many videos and pics and provided tons of info to keep us from worrying about the pup while we were away. Loki made so many friends and was well taken care of. Will be using again. Thanks Lauren and Bentley!!!”
“We left our two year old lab with Jennifer and Joel during a family vacation at the end of summer. We were nervous going into it because we had never left her with someone we didn’t know. I shared this with Jennifer and Joel at the meet and greet and reminded them at drop off. They sent pics and videos every day, which really helped us to feel that our girl was also “on vacation” and having a great time with their two dogs. Thanks to you both for loving her while we were away!”
“Sandra has become my go to sitter when I am out of town. My pup has has had amazing experiences with her and her family. He always comes back happy and tired from a week of being part of their family and I have peace of mind knowing he is well cared for. She is responsive and great about sending updates throughout the stay.”

Ansley did a great job watching our girls over the weekend. She sent us many updates, pictures and notes throughout the day. She was very accommodating about our last minute delay which was an added peace of mind. She has a fenced yard for the pups which was a massive bonus! We’ll definitely work with her again.
Rosco had a great time with Trevor! Super communicative with great updates and the best photos to match. Rosco looked happy and full of life I each one. I felt assured that my dog was in good hands while I was traveling! We will be sure to book with him again and if you’re in need of a sitter Trevor has you covered! :)
Debra was great. During our meet and great, she was very thorough in asking about Moana's routine and preferences. Moana took to her immediately. Debra was very responsive and consistent in sending updates during Moana's stay and when it was time to take Moana home, she didn't want to say goodbye. I have already booked another stay for Moana with Debra.
Scarlett was fantastic to work with and I felt reassured and confident that Teddy was being taken care of by her. Teddy is a senior dog that needs extra support and care beyond the average dog boarding. Scarlett administered all of his medications, kept an eye on his health and kept me updated with many photos and videos. Her loving care with Teddy allowed me to enjoy my time out of town and trust that Teddy was in good hands. I would definitely trust her with Teddy again and recommend her for boarding or pet sitting. She did a great job grooming Teddy too!

There are 7,813 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.

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.
