About: Love all animals I’ve had cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, birds and raised pigs. 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: I have been caring for animals since the age of 10, developing a deep understanding of pet behavior, needs, and well-being over the years. In addition to my extensive hands-on experience, my primary profession in international pet transportation has equipped me with a unique skill set that sets me apart from other sitters. Through my work, I have built strong relationships with veterinarians and established access to reliable resources for emergency situations, ensuring pets are always in safe and capable hands. I am highly experienced in handling dogs with anxiety and specialize in helping them become calmer and more comfortable through structured care and basic training techniques. I am also confident in caring for puppies and senior pets, understanding the extra attention, patience, and specific routines they require. My background allows me to provide not just supervision, but a safe, structured, and stress-free environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine, as my primary work in pet relocation requires me to be home and actively caring for animals throughout the day. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, timely feeding, regular exercise, and attentive monitoring of each pet’s well-being. Because I am home nearly 24/7, pets in my care receive a high level of attention, structure, and companionship. My schedule is naturally built around their needs, ensuring they are comfortable, safe, and well-cared for at all times. I provide a safe, structured, and clean environment for pets in my care, whether in my home or a client’s home. My property features a spacious, fully fenced yard with a secure gate, allowing pets to exercise and play safely under supervision. For added security and peace of mind, the home is equipped with surveillance cameras. I accommodate each pet based on the owner’s preferences and the pet’s needs. Crate accommodations are available for pets who are crate-trained or when owners prefer that added level of safety and routine. Cleanliness and hygiene are a top priority. All areas are sanitized daily using pet-safe cleaning products to ensure a healthy environment. I maintain a consistent routine that includes feeding, exercise, rest, and attentive monitoring to keep pets comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times.
“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.”
About: Since I can remember, I've always been surrounded by animals. I not only grew up with them, but have taken care of and fostered animals from the SPCA. Parents and family joke that I have a gift when it comes to getting along with animals, and I've always been there to watch and care for animals of extensive breeds while family and friends are out of town! I'm currently attending school, so past 4:00pm and weekends work well for me! I have lots of free time during the summer to help families keep a steady mind on vacation when it comes to their beloved pets! I am excellent at following directions and specific orders given from owners, and will respect and perform any instructions given concerning pets. I care for pets exactly as necessary to create as little disruption and as much comfortability as possible in the home. However animals are cared for by owners, are how they will be cared for by me. Any schedule concerning food, walks, bedtime, and activities, will always be completed exactly how the owner intends.
About: I’ve always had dogs ever since I can remember; we’ve had big and small dogs. I give my dogs food at a timed time, I walk them, I bathe them and I play with them. I take care of my aunts cat I feed her, play with her and I also clean her litter. I am able to give multiple updates of your pet throughout the day to allow you to have a peace of mind, I know I would be worried if my dogs were away from me for too long as well :). I have a big back yard where your little ones can play and run. I am currently doing summer school for Fresno state I am available in the afternoons after 2pm, I’ll have plenty of time afterwards. Since it’s hot right now I typically go on walks at night. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space to run and play with, I have one senior dog who sleeps all day and one puppy who is playful but if needed I also have a crate and a dog fence.

I am available when you need someone any day/night of the week. In my home, there is another pet parent which frees me to be there for yours when you need a sitter, feeder, or walks. We have cats and dogs in our immediate area, and I provide sitting services already for my neighbors. You provide instructions for your loved one(s) and I'll follow them!

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.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 10 years old. I’ve had dogs in my house since I was 10 and have taken care of puppies before as well. I’m currently unemployed and at home for the summer, so I have a lot of free time to devote to taking care of your babies! Any and all types of service I can do, from overnight stays to drop ins and check ups. I have experience taking care of untrained puppies and I can keep up with very energetic dogs. I can walk, feed and play with dogs or give them space as needed. I’m very respectful of animals and their owners’ wishes.
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.
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.

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. 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 .

- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise

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.
