“Be prepared for a very thorough prep meeting and detailed updates- like you may expect with a babysitter for a child. Allison wouldn’t be a good fit for someone who is looking for an especially quick key transfer; she takes this very seriously. She worked with my pup on reinforcing some of the training we were doing and communicated about her behavior in detailed notes. She definitely went above and beyond- exactly what you would want for your fur baby.”
“Lexi is very punctual and easy to work with. She takes great care of our pup and went above and beyond with extra requests today to get him some water and put him in his crate when they got back from their walk. Thank you, Lexi!”

About: I have had experience watching dogs since I was 12. My neighbors often have me walk their dogs when they are unable, and about a year ago I started watching my family and friend’s dogs when they are out of town. I currently work part-time and I don’t have school during the summer so I am free most week days. I am also available on various weekends depending on my other job’s schedule. I create a safe environment in client’s homes by ensuring the dog has nothing dangerous within reach. Keeping a clean and safe space helps the both the dog and owner feel more at ease.

About: With years of experience in pet care, I go beyond just watching your dog - I create a personalized, fun, and safe environment tailored to your pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or cuddles, I offer a loving, attentive approach that ensures your dog feels right at home. Pet care is a natural part of my daily lifestyle. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m responsible for, making sure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and affection. For dogs, I build in time each morning, afternoon, and evening for walks, play, potty breaks, feeding, and enrichment. I’m active, reliable, and intentional about keeping them on their normal routine so they feel secure and cared for. For cats, I schedule dedicated visits for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and calm companionship. I’m patient with shy or independent cats and love giving extra enrichment to the social ones. I also create time for medication or special-care needs if required. I’m very routine-oriented, so adding pet care into my week fits naturally. Whether it’s multiple check-ins a day or longer stays, I make sure each visit is consistent, on time, and focused fully on your pet’s well-being. I create a safe space whether it be at my course or my client’s house by making sure they feel secure while also establishing a routine and sticking with what is familiar to them.

About: Hi there! My name is Abby and I am a major dog lover! I have owned a dog (or two) almost my entire life along with volunteering to transport, babysit and foster dogs for local rescues. I’ve been a go-to for my friends when they need a sitter and training advice. I’ve worked with some great sitters in the area to learn as much as I can about training and behavior techniques. I currently have two pups that I adore and would love to help you out with your busy schedule to be sure your pups get everything they need. I will treat them as my own if I stop by to let them out, feed them, exercise them, walk them or even stay over with them when you’re out of town. I look forward to meeting you and your pooches!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,447 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Arlington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Arlington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Arlington.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Arlington. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
