About: I have been around animals my entire life. I have been a veterinary assistant for 11 years. When my husband was stationed in Hawaii, we provided an affordable and safe place for other military furry family members to stay while their humans were away. I currently work from 8:00 to 3:00pm and my husband is home in between going to his college classes. Your dogs will be walked in the morning around our neighborhood & again after dinner. My husband will be able to let them out several times during the day. We have a fenced in yard that your dog will be allowed to spend some time in. We have 3 dogs that enjoy the company of other friendly dogs. Your dog will become apart of our family during their stay. We also have 2 cats.
About: I have been around many animals since I was little including, fish, guinea pigs, cats, dogs and horses. Fun fact, I’ve had 19 guinea pigs in my lifetime, and have raised my own puppy who is now 4 years old. I am currently in nursing school, so I have a structured weekly routine that allows plenty of dedicated time for pet care. I’m home often to study, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, feedings, and drop-ins. I make sure pet care is planned into my day so your pets always get reliable attention. Every animal is unique so I’m happy to follow any specific routines, care instructions, or preferences you have to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

I am at home part time for all your fur babies needs and my husband is home multiple times throughout the day I work part time my husband is home all throughout the day until I get home. I have a very flexible schedule and available weekdays and weekends I have a very large, fenced backyard and a fun and friendly little guy Bingo who loves to play, sunbathe and go on walks daily
About: We have been dog owners for over 20 years, and have had a natural affinity for all kinds of animals. We love spending time with our dogs Luna and Stella. They love to play with all dogs and are very friendly. Pet sitting is awesome because we want to spend time with as many wonderful pets as we can. Our pet sitting assistant Savanna, is a precocious six year old that will help provide care and companionship to any pet in our care. Our family will treat them just as well as we would like our pets to be treated since I know how important they are. Your pet will be a member of our family while in our care. Our services are available 7 days a week, additionally, we can also accommodate on short notice. Our family will make sure that your pet has a wonderful experience in our care. I am currently working from home so your pets will always have the care and attention needed daily. Minimum of two walks per day and lots of playtime/ interaction We have a huge, fenced backyard with plenty of space to room and explore. We can also provide a seperate space for those dogs that need a little extra time to warm up to new friends.
About: My sister owns a boarding/training business and I grew up on a farm so I have many experiences with different ages and types of dogs. Including with helping my friends and neighbors with their pets while they are away. I have a flexible work schedule during the week so I can always find time to love on, play with and take care of your amazing pets. Whatever your schedule is for them, I implement that. I'll stick with the times you feed them, walk them and make sure that I follow the rules you have set. I’m friendly, patient and gentle with the animals whether they warm up to me right away or not. I always give them love, pets and walks when needed and will never force anything on them.
“Scott was great! On time to every visit and made sure my pups were well taken care of. They were happy when I got home and seemed to have gotten some well deserved exercise.”
“Yvette is one of the best walkers that we’ve had! She was great and communicating and following up on requests. More importantly, she cared for Xander as if he were her own pup and I could tell he always had a great time with her! She was our daily walker for many months and we’re sad to be moving away from her! Thanks for everything!!”
“I highly recommend Vanessa! She definitely loved, played with, and cared for, my best bud! Vanessa is reliable, trustworthy and updated me every time she was walking my dog with photos and rover map. She listened to all my many requests and "do's and dont's" and executed them perfectly-including hand signal only commands! II would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets who is kind, responsible, and knowledgeable.”
About: I’ve had elderly dogs and took care of them since they were younger. I would care and hold them when they needed it, I would also provide them with wet food to make it easier them for them to eat. But I have experience in taking care of them so if you have any dogs that need elderly care I can do it! And I love to play with younger dogs as well, I have a yokie and she energetic and loves to play with her many toys she has. My dog outside he’s older and I love to just sit and watch everything with him and sometimes when he feels good he likes to run around with me outside. But all in all, I would love to take care of your dogs because I have some of my own and I know how it is to leave them in someone else care, you get scared. But please trust me I will love them and care for them like they are my own babies :) I’m currently doing some online college classes. They don’t require that many hours to do and I usually do my work later in the day so I can spend time with my dogs in the morning and afternoon. My home has a backyard that is fenced and it has RV parking on the side that’s also fenced, I also don’t have an RV so it’s empty and just another space for dogs to run around with me. The inside is a three bedroom, one story house. Two of the rooms the dog can be in. The living room and kitchen are also places the pet can be with me but one of the bedroom is the only place off limits. And we have a front yard that the pets can walk on, also the neighborhood is safe as well so I can take them on walk too.
About: I have a lifetime of experience living with and loving animals! I have always had a dog and a cat in my family, sometimes more than one of each. Because of this I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior to every pet care experience. Personalized care tailored to your furry family member is my utmost priority. You can depend on a calm, happy, and fun time with me! My schedule is open and I am willing to accommodate to any specific needs in order to make sure their furry family member is well taken care of. Any pet I take into my home will need to follow the basic rules I have for all animals that come here. I also understand varying needs client by client and will easily adjust as necessary. Once an acceptable agreement is reached, I will honor that absolutely and totally.
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was about 10 years old, when my very first “job” was pet sitting for neighbors and family friends. I know more than anyone that animals are peoples family members, not just an animal living in the house. I grew up with wiener dogs and have always bonded over spending time playing fetch with them, to waking up and giving kisses to chillin on the couch watching Sunday football. It takes TRUST when it comes to pets. What truly sets me apart is my empathy. I treat every animal as family, tuning into their needs whether that’s extra playtime for a puppy with boundless energy, or gentle patience for a senior pet who moves at a slower pace. I have plenty of experience in both. I make it a priority to provide not just reliable care, but also a nurturing, loving environment that gives pets & their parents peace of mind. I’m a morning person, so starting the day with a nice walk is one of my favorite routines & it's fun to do it with a friend. Pet care naturally fits into my lifestyle.. I enjoy staying active and being outdoors. In the evenings, I love to unwind, whether that’s a calm cuddle session or a relaxing stroll to end the day on a happy note. I’m also open and flexible on weekends, making it easy to provide consistent care that works around your schedule. I believe every pet is unique, so I tailor my care to what works best for them & your preferences. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I follow your preferences closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent and comfortable. From feeding schedules and walks to playtime and cuddle time, I adapt to what each furry family member needs. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe & loved no matter where they are.

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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Herndon.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Herndon. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
