Personal recommendations for dog sitters

[WoodNatalie]

Hey folks! I'm heading out of town for a few days and need someone trustworthy to look after my pup. I'm based in Arlington and would really prefer a sitter who's local—maybe around Clarendon or Ballston. I'm not a fan of kennels, so ideally someone who can offer home-style care without charging a ton. Has anyone here found a great dog sitter they'd recommend?

Hey! We recently found an amazing sitter through a platform FlatRover that connects you with local dog sitters Arlington residents actually trust. We used it for a weekend trip, and it went perfectly—no nightly fees, just friendly, professional care. The sitter lived near Clarendon, had great reviews, and our dog came home totally relaxed. If you're looking for stress-free care, I'd definitely recommend checking them out!
