“Samantha and her family were great! Very welcoming and accommodating to my older dog quirks. The puppy really enjoyed playing with her friendly dog and it was a great socializing experience for him. I will definitely use her services again and recommend her without hesitation.”
“Our dog was happy when we dropped her off, showing that she had good memories from her past stay. She was relaxed, tired but happy when we picked her up, so had plenty of play time outside. She has separation anxiety and some insecurities, so it was great to see how comfortable she is there. Very happy with the daycare.”
About: I have worked at veterinarians, pet stores, and animal shelters, with pets of all kinds. I love walkng, cuddling and hanging out with all dogs. I’m a stay at home mom on a farm. I love spending time with my animals and also have a Sniffspot so other dogs can enjoy our space. When your dog first gets here they can smell around all the new smells and then decide if they want to interact with the other animals or not. I supervise any interactions to keep everyone safe. All dogs are welcome to be inside or outside. We have 5 fully fenced acres.
About: Hello, I'm Amanda—a behavior specialist with a deep passion for working with children with autism. Alongside my professional role, I also run a business specializing in interior painting and light remodeling. With five wonderful kids—three young adults carving their paths, an animal-loving 18-year-old son, and a sweet, gentle 7-year-old daughter—family and community are at the heart of everything I do. Growing up surrounded by animals and spending summers on my grandparents' farm instilled a lifelong love for furry friends. That bond inspires my work today as I provide attentive, loving care for pets while their families are away. Whether it's supervising your beloved pup or ensuring all their needs are met, I take pride in being observant, detail-oriented, and dedicated to keeping them safe and happy at all times. In addition to being a great multitasker, I prioritize understanding the unique needs of every pet, bringing warmth and care into each interaction. I know leaving your cherished furbabies can be tough—that’s why my goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and them. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me! Feel free to message me with any questions or for more details. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and being part of their care. I am currently a caregiver for a family friend and so I am always home. I have full availability to step away anytime if your pup needs a walk or your pets need a drop in for food, exercise, or lovins. I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 4 large fishtanks, and a handful of various reptiles (and growing). I have experience working at a wildlife rescue with all kinds of different animals.
About: I've lived with animals all my life, and have looked after my family's pets occasionally. I am an all around animal lover, I'm professional and dependable, and I'm great at following directions. I have some trips planned for the coming future, so a few stretches of time will be unavailable. I will be very transparent and communicative with prospective clients about my schedule. Feel free to ask me for details! I will be respectful and conscientious when inside all clients' homes, and will do everything in my ability to keep your pet comfortable in their own routines and habits.
“Nicole has been wonderful! She was quick to respond to our inquiry and welcomed us in her home for a meet and greet. She is great with my 9 week old German Shepherd puppy and Stella runs up and kisses her at drop off after one day. Having Nicole has taken so much stress off me while working and having a puppy. Stella is getting plenty of socialization and I know she is in good hands while I'm in the office. Nicole has also been super flexible with day changes, etc. She also sent home the cutest hand made report card for Stella's first week. Her passion for animals is instantly notable.Highly recommend!”
“Angela and her family have been wonderful and communicative during Charlie’s first week of daycare. As it generally takes Charlie some time to settle into a new routine, this has been the smoothest transition I have had. 100% recommend Angela for daycare or pet sitting needs.”
About: We love watching doggos! We both work from Home so we can do frequent potty breaks and walks. We have a large fenced yard to get the zoomies out and can make some scrambled eggs if your pup is a little nervous in our house to make their tummies happy. We do have a 2 year old who loves dogs and my husband or I are always within arms reach when we have dogs in the house. We’ve taught her to pet gently and to stop petting if the dog is pulling away and continue to teach her to be aware of what a dog might be telling us with their body. We have watched dogs that are more shy and playful like a border collie, to having experience with my own German Shepherd/Lab/Rottweiler mix so we are comfortable with all types and sizes of pups! We love taking them on adventures and exploring the neighborhood too! We both work from home so are home most of the day. We love walks around our neighborhood and have a large yard to get energy out. We have pick-up/drop-off listed as well for an additional charge. Lots of snuggles, walks and treats! Please feel free to bring their bed, stuffed animal, and favorite toys to make them comfortable. We will try to walk them (1.5-2mi/day) unless otherwise requested.
“Lana is great with our Lily. Now that we've been going back regularly, Lily gets so excited to get out of the car when we pull up and she greets Lana and her family with gusto. Definitely recommend her day care and boarding services. ❤️”
About: We have raised many dogs and treat them as family. We have worked with puppies and senior dogs and everything in between. We are familiar with providing meds as needed as well. I work full time in Construction Management but I am currently working from home a few days a week and open weekends for ample time to spend with your pups. We also host a Sniffspot private dog park for rent out on our property that we can take walks on in between bookings and live right down from Little Mountain Park for hiking or walking along the trails. We also live conveniently located 3 miles from I-5 for quick drop off and pickup off the freeway. I am available on all days of the week for boarding depending on the dog and owner with a meet and greet as I will be at the office Monday - Wednesday from 0730-400 and the dog would be with my at my office which sits on multiple acres with walks every 2 hours. Contact me anytime if you have any questions. Dogs are treated as family in our home and have a comfy bed for day napping and plenty of room to move around. We play in the backyard, walk leashed on our property in the upper forested area and have access to the trails at Little Mountain Park for walks weather permitting.
“Marshelle was so wonderful to work with!!! So accommodating to our schedule for the 2 days we needed her and the random pick up/drop off times.

“Ashley and her husband were awesome. My other Rover had cancelled on me and she accepted a very last minute request. She was responsive and sent updates throughout the day. Would totally book again in the future!”
“Jenifer treats our Lily like part of the family! Lily gets lots of time to run around the yard and play in the sprinklers. Jenifer is very communicative and sends videos throughout the day so I can see what they are up to. We really appreciate the attention and love our pup gets while she's at day care with Jenifer, Rosie and Araya.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Arlington
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Arlington on Rover is $34.45 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Arlington commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,245 sitters in Arlington, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
