“I was blown away by April's positive attitude and dedication to caring for my golden retriever. She meticulously created a safe, pack-like environment where the dogs felt at home, and the areas were exceptionally clean. Even more impressive were her plans to enhance her already wonderful outdoor space. As a side note, April is a certified dog trainer. Shortly after dropping off my dog and running errands in town, I noticed her diligently and patiently leash-training my dog during a walk, as my GPS took me back past her location. April never mentioned this task on Rover or in person; she simply did it on her own time, free of charge, without boasting. Her quiet integrity and humility are extraordinarily impressive. Best Rover experience so far!”
“Our dogs love staying at Rachael’s! They are super tired from all their play when we pick them up. Rachael keeps me updated and sends pictures. We will keep bringing our pups!”
“It mean so much knowing our dog is somewhere where he is loved and taken care of. Sherri takes care of our dog as well as we would and her communication is awesome. Lots of pictures and stories!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Kayla did a super job watching our two big Bernese Mountain dogs. She sent pictures of them many times when we were gone so we could see they were content and happily playing in her big yard. She even brushed them before we got home. Really went above and beyond. We highly recommend Kayla!”
“Once again, Marshelle was a great sitter. My boy Buster had a great time with her and her family. When I went to drop him off at her house, he got really excited. He definitely knew where we were going. Highly recommended Marshelle!!”
“This was our first time to leave Datu at a private residence for care. He was thrilled but he also was not used to being away from us and yet despite his anxiety, Sheri and Bill were most kind and patient with Datu - We attended a funeral that was out of state and our minds were at ease that though Datu was a bit anxious that he was well loved and cared for as we saw many videos of him throughout his stay with them that reflected he was doing well. Beyond blessed and thankful for this couple -”
“I can tell Loki absolutely enjoyed his time over there and I don’t think I could’ve picked anyone better to watch him. She really did treat him like her own dog and she kept me updated on all his silliness. Highly recommend!!”
“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!”
“Vaishali has helped Sunka learn to walk with her harness and NOT pull! She loves being with their family. Vaishali has been very flexible with our planning and timing. Today we had unplanned traffic problems that made our trip later than we head home.”
“Angela was SO amazing. She was referred to me by my neighbor and did NOT disappoint. She was quick to reply to any and all messages and was super friendly and accommodating. She was picking up my neighbors dogs the same day and offered to pick mine up to which saved me so much time! She was great about updating me on my pup while we were out of town and even took initiative and gave him a bath when he seemed to be a little itchy. 10/10 recommend and will be booking her in the future! Thank you so much Angela and family! Ripley had the best time!”
“Aarika was very responsive, polite and flexible. I felt that she was easily accessible. My pup was very happy and clearly well taken care of. It was clear to me that she treated him as if he was her own and that’s exactly what I’m looking for in a Dog Sitter . I almost don’t want to leave her a good review because I want to keep her services all to myself! Haha .”
“Katie is awesome! She has a whole house of animal lovers so your companion will always have someone to cuddle and play with. She was willing to take my puppy, Toulouse, last minute on two occasions in one week! She was great about sending updates through texts and pictures too. I’ll definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“I felt really good about leaving my babies with Britt! Her cute clean house, large fenced yard, and really nice husband, dog, and Cat helped me not worry about them! Got photos throughout the weekend and Daisy and Duke were happy and exhausted when I picked them up. Will definitely use 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!”
“Kathy is amazing!!! My boys absolutely LOVED their time with Kathy and her lovely family. It was evident how much they genuinely cared for them and each other with how welcoming they were during the first meet. Their uniquely shaped house is also awesome!! Very clean, warm, welcoming and beautifully decorated. Plenty of places for my boys to play around and snuggle to. Yard was clean, well kept, and the boys loved playing in her backyard! Kathy was also so great at sending updates, sending both pictures and video clips. We feel so fortunate to have found them, it can be so hard to find the right person/family that you feel you can trust with your pups right off the bat. Forever grateful for the awesome stay and will 200% have them stay with her again!!!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Arlington
Bunny’s first stay went very well for her in Samantha’s care. As a shelter adopted dog she has had a harder time adapting to being away from home but she seemed to fit right in with Samantha’s family and had a great playmate and companionship with their dog Groot. Samantha has had excellent communication, and sent a sweet little update about Bunny’s stay. We would be happy to have Bunny stay with Samantha again.
Finley LOVED his short stay with April! I was so impressed with the questions she asked me at our meet and greet, and after seeing her set-up I left feeling confident that she would take excellent care of Finley. She understood Finley's breed requirements and his temperament. Finley had such a great time with April, and with the other dogs. She has a good routine so that each dog gets individual attention and time to play with other dogs that match their personalities. Communication with April was quick and efficient and she worked with us when we had some timing changes. Would I book April again? Absolutely!
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 September 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 September 2026, there are 1,808 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.
