“Definitely recommend. My dogs were very happy and relaxed at Audra's. I felt comfortable leaving them and everything went perfectly. We have been to doggy daycare with Audra three times and would return without hesitation.”
“Our dog was very well cared for. He went on a couple of walks, got along well with their other dogs, and receive lots of compliments from the Adrianna. When you know, your dog is a handful. It’s really nice to hear other people say nice things about him!!!”
“If I could gatekeep a doggie sitter, this would be the one. Everyday my puppers would be excited to get out of the car to greet Heather. She would offer potty breaks based on his schedule, updates throughout the day and even did medication administration when my puppers was having diarrhea. Heather demonstrates professional across the board. 10/10 would recommend her services due to her trustworthiness and accountability!”
“Derek was great with our Bruce! He is very knowledgeable about puppies and dogs of all breeds. Bruce had a great time at doggy daycare under the care of Derek. Derek was very kind to send updates and pictures and he also summarized each day of Bruce’s stay. He definitely made me feel at ease by asking questions about Bruce’s daily routine and habits. In addition, the tips I received from Derek are invaluable. We will definitely continue to use Derek for future daycare needs.”

“This is my first time leaving my dog 🐶 to Krystle and she was amazing! My dog is very timid and afraid and he tends to snap at strangers. But Krystle was nothing but patient with him! She was also sending me pictures and updates throughout the day and I feel relieved. I definitely recommend Krystle and go back to her :)”
“Thanh-Mai is an AMAZING sitter! My dog, Muffin, adores her. I can always expect clear and frequent communication about how Muffin is doing throughout the day. Thanh-Mai is the best peace of mind that Muffin is being taken care of & is happy! Would recommend her to anyone I know.”
“Clarissa was beyond wonderful. She sent me updates and pictures. I could not be happier. Sam, my poodle, was calm and cool when I picked her up. Thank you so much Clarissa. I will recommend Clarissa to all my friends.”
“My two pups had so much fun at Jasleen’s. I was lucky enough to book her on Thanksgiving day. Jasleen sent the cutest pictures of my babies throughout the day. I was able to relax and enjoy my out of town family knowing they were having fun.”
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was young and have owned and cared for my own pets for over 7 years. Through caring for my pets, as well as those of friends, family, and neighbors, I've gained experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, energy levels, and personalities. I also volunteered at an SPCA shelter, where I worked with a variety of animals and learned the importance of patience, consistency, and attentive care. I fostered a pup from this shelter for 5 months. I'm physically active and enjoy long walks, outdoor activities, and playtime, so energetic dogs will get plenty of exercise and attention. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while providing owners with regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I currently have open availability and can easily work around your pet's routine. Whether they enjoy long walks, playtime, or a quieter day with plenty of attention, I'll make sure they get the care and companionship they need. I'm active and enjoy being outdoors, so dogs who love exercise and adventure are always welcome. I also have experience fostering pets! I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I follow each owner's instructions closely regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and house rules. I take a patient approach with every animal and make sure they feel comfortable and secure in my care. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners, with regular updates and photos throughout their stay.
“We sent our pet to Scott for the 2nd time and like the first time, we are very satisfied with his pet sitter service. We are so happy to have found a dog sitter who we know takes such good care of our dog Carly. We were given updates with photos/videos about our pet’s wellbeing. We will be sending Carly to him again soon. Thank you! 😊”
About: I love dogs and owning 2 has inspired me to work with more. I am a graduate of Animal Behavior College where I earned my certification as a Dog Trainer. Animal Behavior College (ABC) is approved by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education and is an internationally recognized institution. My year long commitment to this program has provided me with a formal education in canine obedience training and a professional understanding of canine behavior. My certification and skills will ensure your dog is in good hands. I am available 7 days a week because I own 2 dogs of my own and I also work from home. Availability may vary during holidays. For boarding and daycare clients must be crate trained to ensure the safety of everyone. Facilities include an outdoor run that is turfed and equipped with showers to keep clean and a misting fan system for hot days, along with an assortment of chew toys and snacks and elevated beds. All clients sleep indoors in an air conditioned room.
“My dogs were well taken care of by Vicente! I appreciate the pictures and the warmth and caring that he had towards my pups. I will definitely call Vicente in the future for doggy day care ♥️”
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: I was raised on a ranch with numerous pets, including many dogs from a young age. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience in training puppies and caring for senior dogs. I have a genuine passion for puppy training and continuously seek out new methods to effectively teach them. Additionally, I am well-versed in giving medication to dogs when they require it. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom with a 1-year-old while also attending school. Most of the care happens throughout the day alongside my normal responsibilities at home. I make time for feeding, letting the pet outside or going on walks, cleaning up after them, and making sure they get attention and exercise. Since I am home most of the day, I am able to monitor their needs and keep a consistent schedule. I usually plan pet care around my child’s routine and my schoolwork, such as feeding in the morning and evening and taking care of walks or playtime during breaks or nap times. Being home gives me the flexibility to balance caring for both my child and my pet while staying organized with school responsibilities. I have a secure, fenced patio and two friendly dogs to keep your pups company. If necessary, I can separate them. My dogs and I take daily walks, and we would be thrilled to have your furry friend join us. Visits to the dog park are also on the agenda if it's an activity your pup enjoys!

Our dog Karma had a very nice playdate with Jennifer and her dog Daisy. Karma and Daisy became fast friends. It couldn't have gone smoother. I could see that Karma seemed at home as soon as we brought her to Jennifer's. Jennifer's home is clean and safe. She sent me photos and updates. My husband is a worry wort and now his mind is at ease leaving Karma. We would never hesitate to recommend her.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Herndon commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 242 sitters in Herndon, 91% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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 sitter.
