Scale suggestions:
D minor pentatonic scale - D F G A C
D minor blues scale - D F G G# A C
D minor scale - D E F G A Bb C
D harmonic minor scale - D E F G A Bb C#
You can treat the A7 as an altered chord and use the altered scale:
A altered scale - A Bb C C# Eb F G
The altered scale is the mode which starts on the 7th step of the melodic minor scale, so in other words - the notes of A altered scale are the same as those of Bb melodic minor scale :)
The basic arpeggios will come in useful:
Dm - D F A
Gm - G Bb D
Bbmaj7 - Bb D F A
A7 - A C# E G
