“Derek watched my dog Ace for 3 days while I was away for the weekend. He was completely patient with him and tended to his every need. This was my first time leaving Ace with anyone so I was very nervous, but Derek updated me evey day and sent me pictures and videos. I would definitely use Derek again in the future. 10/10!!!!”
“Jassleen was a very attentive and engaged sitter for our two pooches. She provided ongoing updates, photos, and videos. She even provided our dogs her homemade doggie treats. We will definitely call Jassleen next time we go out of town.”
“Luka had an amazing time staying at Brinesha's house while we were gone! She is an amazing dog sitter who deeply cared about our fur baby and that we felt comfortable and happy while we were away. She was so kind and welcoming and her dogs played very well with ours and they had a blast. We will definitely have Brinesha take care of Luka anytime we go somewhere and highly recommend to anyone to do the same. We thank her so much for a wonderful trip because she took such good care of Luka!!”
About: Hi, I’m Megan and have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. I understand that your pet is a cherished member of your family. My life has been shaped by the companionship of dogs, ranging from Chihuahuas to Dalmatians, and I treat every guest with the same deep respect and affection I give my own. I work from home, which means your dog will have constant companionship and supervision inside the house with me. I pride myself on being highly responsible and will strictly abide by any specific rules or medical considerations you have for your pet. I share my home with two calm, small breed Yorkies: Roxy, my 16 year old senior lady who loves to nap, and Dalton, my 8 year old boy who is a "chill" social butterfly. Dalton gets along wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys a gentle play session. * The Environment: My home is a quiet, low stress "zen" space perfect for dogs who prefer a relaxed atmosphere. * The Yard: I have a large, fully enclosed backyard with a pool. For safety, I never allow dogs outside unsupervised. * Safety First: Because I work from home, your dog will spend their day indoors with me, ensuring they stay cool and comfortable. Services & Specialized Care * Senior Care: I have a soft spot for seniors! I am very comfortable administering oral medications. Please note: I do not offer injectable medications. * Active Care: I love taking pups for walks to break up the day and ensure they get the exact level of affection and playtime they crave. For senior pups that cannot walk long distance, I have a pet stroller for pets 20lbs and below to ensure they don’t miss out on outdoor fun. I know how hard it is to leave your fur baby behind while traveling or working. My goal is to provide you with total peace of mind, knowing your pet is in a peaceful, loving, and safe environment where their unique personality is respected. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I work from home Tuesday - Friday, however I can be flexible with drop in visits. Saturday - Mondays I have open so long as I am in town. The sooner I know the better I can plan. I have a fenced in yard and live in a beautiful neighborhood to take your pup out for walks. For senior pups I have a dog stroller to ensure they don’t miss out on getting some fresh air. Pups have free rein in my office and living room to ensure they are comfy during all weather seasons. I can also create your pup if that is yours or your pups preference.
“Taryn took great care of my little Obi for the 5 days I was out of town. She texted me pictures of Obi everyday to let me see he was safe and happy. I will difinitely go through Rover and use Taryn again for Obi. Thank you Taryn and Rover.com”
“Briana took care of our three month old poodle and pug. She was great with them, she gave them baths (when needed), played with them and kept me posted daily on them. I would use her again and recommend her to anyone who is wanting the best care for their babies.”
“This is the first time I used Scott for my lab and was very happy with him. Scott kept me updated with pictures on how Jupiter was doing. I have finally found a home where I can leave Jupiter and not worry about his welfare. Definitely use Scott again.”
“Megan was absolutely great! She took Juliet on a short notice and was able to work with us for pick up and drop off time. She was always communicating and sent pictures of Juliet every day. They went on walks and played toys too. Juliet really loved her and if we are ever in the area another time we would definitely choose her again!!”
“Noelia was very professional and took great care of our French bulldog. If you know how needy these dogs can be, you understand how comforting it is to have someone sweet and kind care for your dog. We are so happy with this experience that we plan on using her services in the future.”
About: I’m patient, reliable, and take the time to understand each dog’s personality and needs, whether they’re playful, shy, or senior pups who need a slow, gentle walk ⸻ Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I am a morning person and love starting my day with a walk. Taking care of pets gives me a reason to get outside early, enjoy the fresh air, and help dogs get their exercise to start the day off right. I’m a reliable, patient dog lover who enjoys helping dogs get the exercise, fresh air, and attention they deserve while you’re busy. Whether your pup loves long walks, gentle strolls, or a quick potty break, I am here to help keep your dog happy and healthy.
“Our usual sitter was unavailable & we trusted Abigail with our dog. It was our first time with her so we did a meet and greet. Abigail provided plenty of updates throughout the day without me having to ask. It gave us so much peace of mind. We will definitely be using Abigail again, she was very sweet & caring.”
“It’s a relief to know we have such a caring and professional caregiver for our doggies! Heather has a comfortable and very dog friendly place for them, they have a great time and even make new friends while they’re there :) Love the updates and pictures too! Thank you Heather!”
“Wonderful sitter, took many pics and videos of our boy and even brushed his thick crazy fur out for us. Had constant access to outside and walked him often. Responded quickly! He seemed very happy when he came home!”
About: I began dogsitting for close friends last year before deciding to make profile on Rover. I’ve had dogs and cats for most of my life. I currently have dogs of my own, and caring for them is part of my everyday life. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including senior dogs. I can give them plenty of love and attention, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and treated like part of the family. Taking care of animals is second nature to me. I have open availability for boarding and can house up to four dogs. I will follow dietary instructions and feeding schedules given. I have a fenced backyard for your dogs to run around and play in, I can feed your dogs separately from mine, and watch them closely.
About: Ive always been an animal lover who has treated animals as their own. They have feelings, they’re no different than us and deserve all the love in the world I have a normal 7-4 work day. I’m usually always looking for walks after work and I’m home no later than 4:15pm. Playing with my own pets makes me so happy and that’s what I look forward to every day I care for them extremely well. I’m kind of an anal person so the cleanliness of it all has to be 10/10. I clean daily, multiple times a day and make sure their foods and waters are always fresh
“Corina was exceptional taking care of our little dog. She kept us up to date with pics and small videos, that gave us the peace of mind to know our dog was well taken care off and enjoy our trip. She was very accommodating while dropping and picking up, she also asked about any alergies, diet restrictions and any other info she might need. At first, our dog was a bit aggressive, but later on she was roaming as if she owned the house, that will tell you that she was being pampered with lots of attention. We will definitely use Corina again when needed.”
“Leena did great watching our dog for a week. Our dog is VERY anxious but she was very attentive to his needs. We received updates and pictures daily which gave us peace of mind. Thank you Leena!”
“My dog Zoey absolutely adores Ashlee! As soon as we turn the corner to her house, Zoey starts with gagging her tail and barking. Ashlee always sends me pictures and updates while I’m away. It gives me such peace of mind knowing my fur baby is well cared for and having a great time playing with Ashlee’s dogs while I’m away.”

Jassleen did an amazing job watching our two dogs for several days! We could tell from the very start that they were in good hands! She provided many updates and kept a close eye on how often and how much they ate, adjusting as necessary. Jassleen helped us out big time by being available to watch our dogs last-minute, and then being willing to keep them longer for us because we ended up getting home later than expected! She’s awesome and we fully recommend her.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Herndon 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 Herndon 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 Herndon.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Herndon. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Herndon 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 CA 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
