“April is amazing and her boarding is top notch. We're excited to have found an incredible teacher and can't wait to learn from her so we can get the same amazing results on our walks with our pups. She took the time to get to know us and each of our dogs. Her approach is structured and supportive. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Sheri and her husband did a wonderful job with my Omar. They kept him well walked and tired by the end of each day. He usually doesn't eat while away from me, but with them he ate well. Having them home all day was an added bonus, he is very much a people loving dog and wants to be near someone at all times. They sent a daily picture, as well as a short description of his day. I will not hesitate to take him back for another stay if need be.”
“Samantha was such a great sitter that words cannot describe what a perfect sitter AND PERSON she is. Her daughters, Nova and Ivy, also gave lots of love to our Jenny; Ivy, age 2, said after hugging and kissing Jenny, “You can leave Jenny with us any time, we’re not that busy.” Jenny was returned to us looking (and smelling) better than when we left her off with the Johnsons; their dog, Groot, was a wonderful playmate for Jenny, AND Groot and Jenny eat the same dig food, Farmers Dog, and they both love it. 🐶🐶😎😎🦮🦮”
“This is the first time that I leave my dog Murphy with a sitter. I was concerned that he wasn't going to do very well. But oh boy I was mistaken. He adjusted very well to the new environment. That is all thanks to Suzanne. She is very welcoming and made Murphy feel very safe. I will, without no doubt, taking him there when needs arise. Thank you Suzanne and Rover for making this a wonderful first experience.”
“A wonderful pet sitter! Very communicative and warm. She was able to accommodate our last minute request, sent us updates and photos of our doggy while we were away, which was very reassuring, and she was flexible and understanding when our ferry delayed our pickup time by almost an hour. We would recommend her and be happy to have her care for our pup again in the future.”
“Allison was great! She is so kind and was very patient with my Trigger and his anxiety and sent updates with photos throughout the time he was with her. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Hayley was such a life saver. She took the best care of my 2 pups when we had to fly out and kept us updated :). She was also so flexible with the timing :) definitely recommend!”
“This was Kona's first time staying with Britt and it went very well. I was thankful for her special care she provided for him, the video and updates that I received. Kona has a couple meds he has to take (which can be tricky) but Britt got creative and was able to get him to take them! What a blessing to find a safe, caring home with other happy lil dogs for Kona to hang with. Thank you so much!”
“Fiorella was an incredible cat sitter for my cat. She was so welcoming and interested in learning exactly my cat's preferences and I had full confidence in her understanding my cat's needs. I had her take care of my cat for 6 weeks and what normally would have been a very stressful period of time away from my cat was not stressful at all because I received daily photos/videos and updates about my cat. I would 100% rebook with her in the future and recommend her to all other cat owners.”
“As always, Sheri & Bill are a great comfort. Roscoe recognizes when we pull into their driveway and is happy when we see him run right up to their front door!”
“Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our dog. You provided so many pictures to let us know that she was happy and having a wonderful time as a part of your family for the weekend thank you and I am giving you a five star rating because you are worth every star.”
“I cannot recommend Kristin enough. I was honestly very scared to try another sitter because of a previous bad experience, but from the moment we did the meet and greet, Sunny liked them right away, and that gave me so much peace of mind. They took exceptional care of my Sunny and treated her with love and attention. I received daily updates, photos, and messages that gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. My Sunny were relaxed, happy, and clearly adored the time with them. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly caring, Kristin is perfect choice!!!.”
“This was the first time we had our dog stay with Teri for a trial run, for a much longer stay in the near future. I think all went well, Teri sent several pictures during the trial run. It looked like our pup was doing well, for her first stay in a new environment. It was nice that our pup was the only dog, which is what she is used to at home. I would highly recommend Teri to look after your furry family member.”
“Lulu had a great stay. Marshel is very nice and she and her family took good care of her. She sent some cute pictures. She was easy to communicate with and all a great stay.”
“Aarika was absolutely amazing!! She was flexible and communicative through our entire last-minute planning process. She sent daily progress updates and photos of our sweet boy smiling and having so much fun (and getting lots of pats, which he loves!!) We will absolutely be booking with Aarika again! :)”
“We had an amazing experience with Cynthia! She took care of Milo for two days and treated him like her own. She kept us updated, made sure he was comfortable, and gave him lots of attention and care. It was clear that Milo was happy and well cared for the entire time. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Vaishali and Vaibhav watching our dog, Charlie. They were professional, caring, and attentive. Charlie was clearly very comfortable and happy—he got his walks, meals, and lots of love, just like at home. We especially appreciated the regular photo and message updates that kept us reassured while we were away. It’s not easy leaving your pet behind, but Vaishali and Vaibhav made it stress-free for us and for Charlie. We will definitely be booking with them again the next time we travel.”
“Another great experience with Monica! She watched nova at her place for a few days while I was working long hours. Very communicative and love getting all the pictures of the fur baby. I definitely recommend Monica to anyone looking for a trusted sitter”

Samantha took great care of my dog, Sky. I was a bit nervous about overnight boarding since it was our first time, but she made the experience completely stress-free. Sky was well cared for, and I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. I would definitely book with Samantha again!
Mila was so sweet to my senior pup Charlie! This was my first time boarding him with anyone. We FaceTimed before hand which reassured me that Charlie was in good hands, she took notes regarding special routine things he needed and while on my trip Mila sent photo updates that put my mind at ease. Charlie was loved and well taken care of, going to Milas made him feel like a part of the family ! We’ve pre booked with her again and I know Charlie is looking forward to it !
When I planned a week-long vacation, I knew I’d have to find a pet sitter for my puppy. For most pet parents, leaving your pet with a stranger can be daunting and anxiety inducing. Thankfully, I left my 6 month old puppy with Adena and her lovely family. Adena might have been a stranger when I dropped Cashew off, but after a day or two it felt like I’d left my sweet puppy with family. She was extremely communicative and answered any and all questions I had. Every day I got updates, photos, and videos of my puppy having the best week ever. Adena’s golden retriever, Glacier, was the sweetest, most patient playmate to my rambunctious puppy. Cashew even bonded with Adena’s daughter, following her around the house like a little shadow. Adena and her family will treat your pets with the same love, care, and compassion that they show their own pets. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Cashew was safe, loved, and having a great vacation of her own! Adena will be the first person I reach out to the next time I need a dog sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Arlington on Rover is $38.85 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 Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,801 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Arlington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of Arlington sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Arlington landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Arlington home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Arlington.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Arlington sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 WA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
