“Sabrina was an awesome sitter for our dog! She was incredibly responsive before the booking, attentive to every detail, and very engaged throughout the stay. She sent us frequent updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Her home was lovely and had plenty of space for walks. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dog in her care and would definitely recommend her!”
“Brittany was amazing with my dog! She gave great updates, sent plenty of photos, and treated him like her own. I could tell he was happy and well cared for the whole time.”
“Teddy & Stephanie kindly saved the day when I had a last-minute trip! They were incredibly responsive and so kind and flexible with my drop-off/pick-up hours. And they sent such cute photos of my pup while I was away. Thank you both again!”
“Sush was phenomenal with Snoopy. She keeps us updated on how he is adjusting, sends good pictures, and takes care of our dog like it was her own. She will be our rover as long as she is available!”
About: I have grown up in a house with dogs my whole life. I currently have a puppy who I love, I can include him on our walks if you want to give your dog some socialization- or I can give your dog a solo walk and give them the most fun leash walk. I have experience administering medications to dogs and catering to puppies/older dog specific needs. I would love to give your dog the attention they deserve and help you out with your busy schedule! I have experience with crating dogs (crate trained my own dog). I am able to leash walk all size dogs and can give them any treats you want! I am also a puppy clean up professional and can clean up any accidents your puppy has. I am available to walk your dog while you are at work or busy working from home but unable to dedicate time to a long walk to exercise your dog I love all dogs and am willing to work with you and your schedule to create a plan that will best fit the needs of your pup. For drop in visits I can provide basic care and play or even offer feeding. For walks I am able to include longer leash walks to allow your dog to sniff around and get some stimulation!
“Millie had the best time staying with Cat and Nikhit this weekend! She clearly had a blast and was so spoiled, I think she was sad to come back home with me. They were also so understanding when my flight was delayed and I had to pick up later than anticipated. Thank you for taking good care of my girl and for all the sweet updates!”
“The dogs enjoyed their stay! Communication was great and I received updates daily. I felt comfortable with my dogs in their care. I would definitely leave my dogs with them again.”
“Incredible sitter! Hailey is very equipped to handle large dog breeds with unpredictable behavior types. We got so lucky finding her! Our golden retriever has anxiety and is getting up there in age so does much better with sweet sitters with high dog IQ. He caused an incident we never witnessed ourselves while staying with her and she handled the situation with such grace. Hailey was extremely compassionate and comforting and we were beyond impressed with her level of care. Highly recommended!”
“Sabrina is our GO-TO sitter for Zuko....he would rather be there in her care than come home haha. Thank you Sabrina for your care and for taking Zuko out to play every day, AND we love the pics you send. Will be booking again!”
“Nicole was THE BEST!! I truly could not have asked for a better sitter for Lila. Nicole sent daily pupdates with plenty of pics that made me feel at ease but also showed Lila completely comfortable in a new home & new friends. When my work trip got unexpectedly extended, Nicole was willing and able to help me figure out a plan to make sure Lila was taken care of- and for that I could not be more appreciative!! Drop off and pick up were very easy to coordinate with Nicole. Also, dogs truly know (everything) and the moment I dropped Lila off with Nicole, she happily pranced away and didn’t look back at me which made me feel good knowing she was happy and in good hands. I would 10000% book again with Nicole if I need services again! I do also appreciate Nicole only takes one dog at a time because it means less random factors with other dogs that I don’t know or Lila doesn’t know. I also would totally feel comfortable having Nicole do dropping visits & walks with Lila if needed!”
“Jennifer was amazing! She helped me out with a last-minute emergency and took such good care of my dog. She sent tons of pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Louie looked so happy and comfortable with her. She was incredibly kind, accommodating, and genuinely caring. I’m so grateful and would absolutely book with her again!”
“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.”
“First time stay for my two dogs but I needn't have worried. Russ and his family clearly took great care of them! Lots of walks and playtime with his dogs. They looked very happy in the many great pictures and videos that he sent. Definitely will book again.”
“Shawn was an amazing sitter. Pleasant, easy going, pet lover. His yard is a fenced resort for the pets- with a fountain, trees, and huge space for dogs to run. I will definitely be using him again!”
“Joseph was amazing! He accommodated Finnley on extremely short notice and proved to be responsive, responsible, and genuinely caring. His love for dogs and animals truly shines through. I highly recommend Joseph and would gladly book with him again the next time I’m out of town.”
“Abigal was very kind with Chiquita, responsive and very communicative with pictures and daily updates on how she was doing. She accommodated a late arrival and a last minute change in pickup, and her care for my pup was visible. Great sitter and would gladly book again!”
“Sofia and Carter were amazing dog sitters. They sent a lot of pictures and our pup loved playing with their sweet dog. He especially loved Molly’s toys and large yard! Sirius came home happy and tired! We will definitely rebook with them.”
“Mariela was great! She’s everything you want in a sitter - interested in your dog’s personality, flexible, and good at sending regular updates and pictures. Right from the introductory meeting, she was observing Nelly and asking me questions about her habits and quirks, and I felt perfectly at ease leaving her in Mariela’s care. Would 100% books again!”

Pixie is so happy whenever she stays with Hannah! Hannah takes great care of Pixie, and Pixie gets lots of loved cuddles, pets, and treats from her. I have zero concerns when leaving Pixie with Hannah (she’s had both short and long stays with her), and we’re lucky to have found her!
Boston seemed to have a good stay with John. He provided good care and followed all instructions to the letter to make sure Boston had regular walks, a calm demeanor to deal with separation anxiety and provided timely medication. In terms of updates, they were once a day and accompanied with pictures, twice when I would ask for it, sometimes delayed. Overall, it was a successful stay and we plan on coming back to John in the future.
I highly recommend Florelith! My dog is a bit of a nervous Nellie so meeting new people can sometimes be challenging, however she immediately warmed to Florelith and I knew she would be in great hands! Florelith sent regular photos and updates during her time sitting my pup and I was confident my dog was getting great care! She is a prompt and clear communicator which I greatly appreciated. I would absolutely use Florelith's services again!
Danyelle did a wonderful job watching our corgi puppy, Lewis! She is extremely competent and made us feel comfortable and confident leaving Lewis with her for the weekend. She also sent us updates and pictures of Lewis while we were away, which we really appreciated! We plan to use Danyelle again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.
Veronica was absolutely wonderful with Tiger! This was my first time having her watch him, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She was so warm and welcoming at the meet and greet, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout the three days, she was incredibly communicative and thoughtful, sending regular updates and photos. It was so reassuring to see how comfortable and happy Tiger looked in her care. I could tell she genuinely took the time to make him feel safe, loved, and comfortable. One of the sweetest moments was at pickup: after Tiger was so excited to see me, he actually kept looking back at Veronica as she walked away. That little moment said everything to me. He clearly felt safe and cared for with her, and that means the world. I am so grateful to Veronica for taking such wonderful care of Tiger. I would absolutely recommend her and would not hesitate to have her watch him again. I feel very lucky to have found her!
Mia was absolutely wonderful sitting my dog Blue while I was on vacation for a week! She provided consistent updates and sent plenty of pictures every day. She really went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and comfortable, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!
This was my first time boarding my cats, and Sarah really put my mind at ease. She was professional and I could tell she adores the animals she watches. Sarah was the best, from great communication ahead of time and daily updates/photos to being so accommodating when our flight home was delayed. Would definitely book her again!
Our dog had a great stay with Mallory, Matt, and their dog, Argos! Mallory was extremely flexible, communicative, and easy to work with. Mallory sent photos multiple times a day which gave us peace of mind while we were travelling internationally. Our dog clearly loved her stay, as she did not want to leave--we will definitely book with them again!
Sarachai and family were great! I he sent frequent photo/video updates of my pet multiple times a day and I could see my dog was getting great care including lots of play time and walks. I'll definitely book him again next time I need a great sitter. Thanks Sarachai!
Sophia and Carter were amazing with Mac. Their pup Molly, is adorable and so friendly. We could tell Mac had a great time and loved playing with Molly…. they kept us up to date by sending pics!😊 We would absolutely recommend using Sophia and Carter to sit your furry friends. They will be in for a happy stay!!! Angie

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Boarding in Arlington is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $89 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 7,815 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
