“April is absolute magic! She is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and has created such a wonderful space for the dogs. We left our two dogs with her for four days and felt completely at ease the entire time. She kept us updated, shared helpful insights on how we can continue improving our dogs’ behavior, and took exceptional care of our fur babies. We are so grateful for her and will absolutely be using her again and again!”
“Rachael is a great sitter for our two dogs. She updated us on how they were doing daily. She also responds promptly about any questions I have. She loved on our two babies well while we were away.”
“Sheri did a great job taking care of my German Shepard. I really liked that she sent pictures and told me what she was up to during the day. She was also really flexible with my schedule and had a nice backyard for Adal to play. Her other dog was very nice too. ”
“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 AWESOME! She went way above and beyond to take care of our pug. Super responsive, and sent lots of pics and updates while we were away. She even bought our pug a little toy, which she totally loves. We highly recommend Hayley. You’re the best! Thanks, Hayley!”
“I'm pretty sure that Kayla takes better care of my dog than I do. He blends right into whatever pack she has at her house every time he goes there. She has a control over the dogs that amazes me every time I'm in her home. Highly recommend.”
“Kimberly took great care of our Louie girl. Kimberly sent us photos each day we were gone. She also was able to pick up and drop off which was very convenient for us. Would rebook with her for sure!”
“This was Lola’s 3rd visit with Alexa. I trust that she’s in good hands when she’s with Alexa and I get random texts and pics of her antics (mainly furniture hogging) during her stay. We will continue using Alexa anytime we need a place for Lola to go while we’re out of town. Highly recommend!”
“Angela and her family were amazing with our sweet pup! Not only did she take wonderful care of him, but he had a great time and it felt like they actually enjoyed having him. Finn clearly felt relaxed and safe in their home and under their care, which isn’t always the case. Angela also did some leash training with him and taught him how to use their doggie door! It was a fantastic experience and I will re-book with Angela anytime I have a need for Finn. I couldn’t be happier with Angela and her sweet family! Thank you, Angela!”
“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!”
“Marshel was great. A friendly family and extra caring for our doggo. She was available on a short notice over Thanksgiving after our previous sitter ghosted on us. Thank you so much!”
“Coordinating with Ashley for our two dogs' boarding was an excellent experience. She sent multiple daily photos, which gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in a loving home and receiving wonderful care. She was also incredibly flexible when our flight was delayed, accommodating a later pickup time than planned. We would definitely book with her again!”
“David was amazing! Our pup, Pearl, was with him for 4 days and he gave us constant updates via pictures and videos to ensure us that our little girl was doing well and having a great time with other dog friends. We were very nervous as we have never been away from her, and his care for the dogs lifted that weight off our shoulders! We will definitely reach out to David for our next adventure that we are unable to bring Pearl on, and I recommend other use his services as well. You won’t be disappointed!”
“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.”
“Katie took such great care of our 2 boys. She gave us regular updates and shared photos often. They were very happy with Katie and her family and pets too! We will be booking Katie again soon!”
“Jenny was wonderful as always. I requested for Jenny's help so I could take my son out of town for his birthday. I have asked Jenny for help multiple times now with my dog and she always provides 6 out of 5 star service (that is not a typo). Muchas gracias Jenny :)”
“We couldn’t be happier with the warm friendly home provided for our dog Bailey while we were traveling for a week. Britt sent us a fun daily picture of her and let us know how she was settling in with the other dogs and cat. We will definitely try and use her again when needed. Thanks Britt!”
“It was our first time using Rover! Sheena was super kind & helpful with the process … she made sure her doggies would get along with Kuzco before we even booked anything! Thankfully, the 3 of them ended up playing well together at the doggie park & it solidified our decision to board him for two weeks with her family :) Kuzco came back to us super healthy and happy from his stay with Sheena! We couldn’t have asked for anything better. It was a great experience & we would definitely use her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Arlington
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.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
91% of sitters in Arlington can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
