“Edith was amazing, as always. She provided frequent updates and photos of Henry throughout our 10-day holiday, which we truly appreciated. We always feel completely at ease knowing Henry is in such good hands with Edith—she takes wonderful care of him and clearly makes sure he’s happy and having a great time. Because of her, we’re able to fully relax and enjoy our trip without a single worry.”
“We are so grateful to have found Stephanie to watch our two highly energetic golden girls! She gave them lots of play time, exercise, and snuggles on the couch. She was kind, patient, and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend and we would love to bring our dogs back to her 🥰”
“Great communication for booking, through their stay, and when we needed to adjust our pick up time. We received pictures of our ladies several times, which brightened our day and helped us feel at ease when we were away. They were very attentive to the different food and medication needs our ladies have. We will definitely use them again for future boarding.”
“Jessica was absolutely wonderful!! She took amazing care of my dog Maisie. My dog had so much fun with her and the other dogs. Jessica helped manage her allergies and was in contact with me everyday with updates, pictures, and videos. Would definitely book with her again. You can tell she cares a lot n treated my dog as her own she was in such good hands. I could enjoy my vacation without worrying. She’s so wonderful!!! Cant thank her enough for taking care of my baby girl.”
“Jessica was fantastic. She has a real understanding for what dogs need and understand how they progress through emotions. Will 100% be trying to have her again. Also great with photos and updates!”
“Erik and family took great care of Copper. They sent pictures and updates and cared for him like he was a member of the family. I’ll definitely be rebooking with them the next time I need someone to watch Copper.”
“Nicole has a lovely house in a nice neighborhood. She sent me updates on my dog, with pictures and was able to take the dog for daily walks. I'm in between jobs and this was a most affordable great quality yet homely option.”
“Last minute booking and sitter was super accommodating! Kept me posted with pics and videos. I felt super comfortable and that my pup was in good hands as soon as I walked in the door! Highly highly recommend!”
“Holly & Ana Maria were absolutely wonderful with our dog! He stayed with them for about a week and had the time of his life with their friendly dogs and cat. Holly & Ana Maria are kind and patient and were attentive to our dog’s needs (feeding schedule, walks, potty breaks, sleeping arrangement). They kept updating us about his meals, demeanor, and walks with cute pictures and messages. Our dog was very comfortable and happy with them for that week. We will definitely book them next time we are out of town. We entrusted them with our dog and they certainly delivered. We highly recommend them! 💙 Thank you Holly & Ana Maria for giving our dog love and care. He had a great time with his new human caretakers and animal friends!”
“Many others rejected my pitty because he’s a huge chicken that barks at strangers. Emma was not only willing to give him a chance, but also willing to be patient with him during the meet and greet. My dog quickly warmed up to her, which isn’t always the case with him. He had an absolute blast during his stay! I could tell how comfortable he was in the pictures sent. When I got back he was in such a good mood and was so happy to see me. Fantastic experience, I would feel comfortable leaving my boy with Emma any time!”
About: As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your fur babies. I currently have my sweet girl Nova at home and am comfortable with pets of different temperaments and needs. I strive to create a safe, stress free experience while keeping owners updated with lots of photos and messages. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication, or just a consistent routine, I’ll make sure they receive attentive care. I’m currently a SAHM with a very flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the day. Your pets are treated like family! I have 1 cat in my home currently that is okay with dogs that visit. I maintain a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment and carefully supervise interactions at all times.
“Allison went above and beyond! She treated my dog like she was her own, and I felt completely at ease while I was away. I’m definitely pretty particular about who I trust with my dog, and I had absolutely no hesitations with Allison. She was so caring and loved sending all the pictures (which I obviously LOVED ). It was clear my pup was having the best time and was so well cared for. I would 100% have Allison watch her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“I would recommend Ndaziona to anyone who wants a great dog setter. Nikita was given best care anyone could ask for. During the time that she was with this family we continually got updates and pictures setting our mind at ease, knowing she was getting the best care we could have asked for. Again I would highly recommend this setter.”
“Hannah and family were just the most wonderful hosts. Kind, warm, and flexible, they made both dogs feel comfortable right from the start. So many great photos of the dogs playing, long walks, and so many lap naps that I was able to not worry! I can’t thank Hannah enough.”
“Gina is great! We did a meet and greet first so her and my dogs could get acquainted, and to make sure it would be safe for all. She sent me pics of my boys while I was away and I really appreciated that! She treated my boys like her own fur babies! I highly recommend Gina! 5 stars for sure!”
“Alissa was great! Our first Rover we picked was no show and Alissa without notice or early booking took care of Hank, we really appreciate the last minute booking. Communication with Alissa was on spot, she texted and sent pictures!”
“Cleda was great with our pups! Easy drop off and oick up. She kept us updated with photos and texts all weekend and the boys came home happy and tired! We will definitely use Cleda again.”
About: I am a proud dog owner/parent who loves spending time with my two Frenchies. I love to have doggy friends come over and spend quality time playing, snuggling, and relaxing. I am currently doing consulting work from home in a part time basis and have a very flexible schedule. I can do doggy daycare during the week as well as some weekends. The house have a fenced backyard that is very safe for our dogs and our house is doggy proof. I have crates too if that is your preference, otherwise your pup will be inside the house with us.
“Tessa has been an absolute delight and I'm so glad to have trusted her with my Trixie. She helped celebrate Trixie's birthday and took her on so many walks and ample outside time! Highly recommend Tessa (and Tennessee)!”
“Ines was awesome! Great communication leading up to and during my puppies visit. Despite a rainy day, she found time to take Lady to the dog park and for a nice walk by the lake. She sent some great photos. Lady was well cared for and I would recommend Ines to anyone looking for a dog sitter”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 441 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 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.
94% 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.
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 WI 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.
