About: I have pet sat from puppies that were not even housebroken all the way up to geriatric doggies and I love them all! I honestly just love pets! I am currently a full-time nursing student so I can watch your pet pets after 2:30 PM Monday through Thursday and then all day Friday Saturday Sunday! I love being around animals in general. I love to cuddle play outside go on walks whatever your pet needs! I have also pet at all age ranges of animals so I feel like I’m pretty good with whatever you won’t be needing!
About: I am currently earning my master’s in Veterinary Sciences before I start vet school in August. Previously I worked providing animal care to A&M’s research and teaching animals for 3 years while in undergrad. Here I improved my skills at providing specialized care, following specific directions, and assisted vet staff with treatments and medication. I served as President for the A&M Animal Welfare & Behavior club where I improved my knowledge to care for animals of all behaviors. Whether scared, aggressive, high-energy or somewhere in between I look forward to meeting all personalities and helping them be fear-free and comfortable. I have experience with a wide variety of species, highlighted below: Exotics- I help a leadership role in A&M’s Zoological Society where I gained hands-on experiences Reptiles and amphibians- I volunteered with a reptile rescue group cleaning enclosures and feeding 4-H & FFA projects– I showed livestock for many years and have experience with goats, hogs, rabbits, steers and poultry Fish- I worked at a TPWD fish hatchery and have had personal freshwater aquariums. I am comfortable with daily maintenance and care, water changes, and emergency treatments. Equine- I provided daily care and treatment for the horses at A&M’s veterinary medical park. I assisted with a mare-foal research project as well. Livestock – I earned my bachelor's in animal science from Texas A&M with a minor in poultry science. Welfare - While away from your pet, I have plenty of enrichment toys to keep them entertained & active Plants & Gardens – No need to worry about your horticulture while away from home, I have previous experience with house plants and gardens. Previous work experience at an arboretum Photography- I participated in photography projects through 4-H so I will do my best to send you pictures of your pet having fun while you’re away! Pet care is the first thing I do every morning and often the way I end my day. In between, I spend most of my time as a student learning about veterinary medicine and animal husbandry. As needed, I take study breaks to exercise animals in my care. When treatments/specialized care is relevant a prioritize it into my schedule. As a safety precaution for my personal dogs, I have chosen not to offer services at my home. For dogs that might be a flight risk, I have tracking collars that can be used as well as harnesses for extra restraint. I prefer training and exercising animals in an environment they are familiar with but will adjust depending on walk duration and proximity to busy roads. My first dog and most recent loss, was hit by a car at home by a distracted family member. Knowing the pain this causes, I practice extreme caution when it comes to removing animals from a fenced yard. Different homes have different rules so I will make sure to accommodate specifics for your pets regarding indoor/outdoor animals, treats, kenneling, tv time, and being on furniture. I believe our homes are indicative of our hard work/accomplishments in life, it is an honor to be trusted with your pet and home, I will treat both with respect. I have landscaping/lawn care experience, which I am happy to offer while you are away for an extended time.
About: I've had dogs by my side for as long as I can remember, and they’re truly a part of my family. The lifelong experience has taught me how to understand their needs and personalities. I’m passionate about giving them the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’m here to make sure your dogs feel happy and well-cared for while you’re away! I attend classes at A-State part-time and work part-time, I’ve never gone for more than four consecutive hours and spend at least 50% of my time at home. I dedicate a lot of time to giving my fur babies attention and I will do the same for yours. Day-to-day routines while boarding would depend on your animals habits and routines! My apartment complex has a fenced in doggy park with unlimited access and lots of space for walks! Inside, there's plenty of room for lounging, with cozy spots for napping and a variety of toys to keep them entertained. The environment is pet-friendly and designed to provide a calm, loving atmosphere where your pets can feel at home and enjoy their time with me! I also provide attentive care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, ensuring they feel relaxed and secure while you’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 58 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Herndon. 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 Herndon. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Herndon after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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.

- 96% of walkers can help with special care needs

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
