“We are so pleased with Taryns dog sitting with our dog it was his first time staying with someone because we always take him unfortunately us flying we had no option but to leave him. I’m so happy that I was told by my friend about Rover and my friend also recommended her to me. I am overall pleased with how she was able to care for my dog. She was able to give me updates on him also sent photos which was so amazing as well! Us being away for about almost a whole week I highly recommend Taryn! I will and definitely will be using her again!!! Thank you again Taryn!!!”
“Victoria took amazing care of our Bruno. From the moment we dropped him off, we could tell he felt safe, comfortable, and genuinely happy with her. She kept us updated, was very attentive to his needs, and treated him with so much love. It gave us so much peace knowing he was in great hands. We will definitely be rebooking with her - Bruno absolutely adores her.”
“She did an awesome job with my little terror Chico. I had used other boarding places before and he recieved a warning for guarding but according to Audra. He did great with other dogs. Tells me same dog different care takers Audra knows her stuff and trully works with your pet. 💕 highly recommend her.”
“Amy boarded my two dogs for a week. She is an excellent sitter. She provided several updates and pictures each day, took the dogs on evening walks and made sure that they were comfortable in a new environment. The dogs also got along well with her dog Bingo. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Will definitely rebook with Amy. She is an amazing sitter.”
“Clarissa has always been reliable & available when I needed a pet sitter for my bunny. Very quick replies from Clarissa & she gives consistent updates of how my bunny is doing along with some pictures. I would definitely recommend Clarissa as your pet sitter!”
“If you’re an anxious dog parent looking for a dependable first-time Rover sitter, Derek and Danielle are amazing! I was nervous about leaving my dog for the weekend, especially around other dogs and cats, but Derek reassured me with his careful introduction process. They took exceptional care of her and made sure she felt comfortable and safe. Their dogs were also wonderful companions! I highly recommend them. 🩷”
“We absolutely love Krystal! She was so sweet and welcoming. Krystal took really great care of our pups and communicated above and beyond with us throughout their entire stay which I really appreciate. We will definitely be using Krystal in the future! Thanks again!! 😊”
“Thor loved his stay with Corrinna and I really appreciated all the updates and videos while I was away. It was nice knowing he had other pups to play with and was cared for by someone with a lot of experience. I’m sure he’ll be excited to go back next time we need a sitter!”
“Vincent was great! Very communicative and sent me pics of my pups and updates throughout the week he was caring for them. He seems to really have a heart for animals and I know my dogs were in good hands with him. I will definitely utilize his services again!”
“All I can say is WOW! Was visiting a friend in Fresno and needed a place for my Chihuahua to hang out overnight as the dog and my friend’s cat ate not that fond of each other. What a fortuitous find in Reza. So welcoming. He made everything so easy. He was wonderful at accommodating me at the last minute.Terrific communication—I think I got more pictures and updates on her overnight stay than I’ve gotten in an entire week-long stay elsewhere And his teenage daughter was great with her. And Reza was so understanding when I was late to pick her up. I so appreciate that as I was a little frantic about it and he reassured me it was OK. Highly recommend this wonderful, kind dog sitter. A perfect, worry free stay!”
“My baby had a blast! He’s usually a lazy sleepy type of guy but he was out swimming enjoying his lil life! His stay was perfect! I got multiple updates and videos of him Throughout the day! Definitely will be coming back really soon!”
“My dogs seemed to really enjoy staying with Nicole. I received pictures of the dogs during the stay. My puppy Leroy can be skittish with people, but he was cuddling with Nicole and her boyfriend within the first hour. And Leroy loves to wrestle and chase/be chased by other dogs - and he had a blast playing with Nicole's dogs.”
“To be honest I was nervous leaving my Lovie with a stranger but the way Samuel presented himself from start to finish was like dropping Lovie off to a family member for the night..as long as Samuel is providing his services I will never leave Lovie with someone else!! Lovie and myself THANK U VERY MUCH!!”
“Such a blessing we found her. She took the request last minute after another sitter canceled. Jasleen answered immediately and was happy to video chat to discuss care instructions for our dogs. She was patient and loving with them. She gave us lots of updates. She is very driven organized, and responsible. We have complete confidence in her and would overwhelmingly recommend her to anyone else.”
“Brinesha is amazing!!! She was great with my spoiled baby!!! I had no worries leaving her plus her pups are soooo sweet and very well trained!! I'm so glad my baby has new friends!! Will definitely book again!!! :)”
About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone who will care for them like family. I have experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels—from playful puppies to sweet senior pups who just want a slower-paced walk and extra cuddles. All my family members and friends rely on me when they are needing their dog to be in safe hands. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and give you peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! I currently work part-time, which means I'm home for most of the day and have plenty of time to give your dog the attention they deserve. Whether it's walks, playtime, potty breaks, or just relaxing together, your pup will have lots of love, companionship, and care throughout their stay. Your pet will be staying in a loving home with two friendly indoor dogs—one is a sweet senior, and the other is a playful four-year-old. They have free roam of the house and plenty of cozy beds for naps throughout the day. I also have a fully fenced backyard where your dog can safely explore and play. All potty breaks are supervised, and your pup will never feel alone—they'll always have me and my two dogs around for company, companionship, and lots of love.
“I couldn’t recommend Thanh-Mai enough! I’m extremely picky about who I leave my dog with, and up until now I’ve only trusted family since he’s such an escape artist. Thanh-Mai went above and beyond. She was amazing and truly better than I could have asked for. She sent updates, photos, and videos throughout the weekend, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog did even better than I expected in her care, and I could tell he was happy and loved on the whole time. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Bowen is very attentive to my dog’s needs & took great care to help Coco adjust to the new environment. He also provided me with frequent updates & photos. Gave Coco a bath so she’s nice & clean when we picked her up. Bowen is also very flexible & accommodated us as our schedule changed. Highly recommend Bowen to anyone who needs to board or doggie daycare. Thanks Bowen!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Herndon
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.
My experience with Vicente was amazing! My Doberman, Beau, can be a handful since he’s a high energy working breed and needs a lot of structure, attention, and exercise every day. Upon drop off, I got updates within the first hour, pictures of their walk, potty breaks, and him relaxing in his crate. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was doing great. Vicente also replied super quickly whenever I asked for an update, which I really appreciated. I felt super confident leaving Beau with him since he clearly has experience with working breeds and knows how to handle their drive and needs. I’ll definitely be boarding Beau with Vicente again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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 , 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 .
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.
