“Jasleen took our last minute day care booking graciously and promptly. She saved our day. She is so nice and accommodating to us and our dogs’ need. She treated our pets like family. Which is everything I could ask for when I’m unable to take care of them myself and have to leave them under someone else’s care. The photos and videos we received while we were away are much appreciated! We are thankful to Jasleen and will not hesitate to trust her with our pets whenever we are in town.”
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.
“I cannot say enough amazing things about Jennifer! They took such incredible care of my Jace, while I was away. From the moment we met, I knew Jace was in loving, capable hands. They kept me updated with daily photos and messages that made me feel completely at ease—and honestly, Jace looked like he fit it right at home. It was clear they treated him like family, giving him plenty of playtime and attention. He came home happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. If you’re looking for a sitter who is reliable, communicative, and will treat your pup like their own, look no further. We’ll 100% be booking with Jennifer again!”
“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.”
“Thank you so much for feeding them and so sorry it was such a long day! I can’t remember when but will give you lots of notice but I have to go back for permanent crowns. That should be much quicker than today.”

“Kaitlin and Ryan were lovely with our pup, Mac. We initially planned to leave him in LA but at the last minute I decided I didn’t want to leave Mac behind. We booked very last minute and they were willing to take Mac and accommodate our schedule until 10-11 pm. They provided photos and updates throughout the evening. I live in LA but visit family in Fresno often and I’m grateful to have found Kaitlin & Ryan to leave Mac with when needed.”
“Ellen is amazing! I have a 7lb Yorkie, Archie and he just LOVES HER! He stayed at her house for a week, 10 hour days and he would jump out of the car and run to her front door to get into her house! I am still amazed by that because he doesn’t act that way with anyone but me. That says it ALL! If I could give her 6 or 10 stars I would!”
“Thanh-Mai was so lovely with our dogs. Maple and Chloe have only stayed with my parents so we were nervous about finding a dog sitter for our wedding night. We met her and the dogs instantly loved her as if they already knew her. She came to the wedding venue to pick up our dogs promptly and kept us in the loop with how our dogs were doing. She took great care of them and we are so happy we found her.”
“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 :)”
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.

“My dog Ralphie loves Heather and her dog, Timber. I never have to worry about Ralphie during the day when he is with Heather, and she always sends me pictures of him playing and having fun at her house. Heather is very responsive and flexible. I'm glad I found her!”
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 7 years of experience caring for my own dog, providing daily walks and ensuring he has a happy, healthy routine. My dog always enjoys the walks I take him on, and I am committed to giving the same level of care and attention to your pets. I have experience caring for my cousins' dogs every summer for two weeks each year. They have consistently been well cared for under my supervision. I love taking care of pets and making sure they have a great time. I feed them, provide water, and always ensure they are happy and stress-free. You can count on me to look after your pets. I let pets out into the backyard to play and take them on frequent walks. I always make sure they are safe and well-cared for.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Herndon
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.
Kaitlin and Ryan were lovely with our pup, Mac. We initially planned to leave him in LA but at the last minute I decided I didn’t want to leave Mac behind.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Herndon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Herndon on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 240 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Herndon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 240 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.
