“Very communicative, sent text/photo updates which accommodated me being in/out of phone service. Made sure cats got attention along w/ basic needs at each visit. Highly recommend! Our babies love Victoria & she’s our sitter of choice!”
About: I've been a pet sitter for more than a decade. I am thoroughly proficient with puppies and high energy dogs, such as Golden Retrievers. I enjoy looking after and creating connections with pets and their owners alike. I have open availability to care for your pets! I am currently on the job hunt, and I am pursuing pet setting as a side opportunity. I believe that the best care is around the clock supervision, and clear/concise communication with pet owners. I am always keeping the pets under my care stimulated and enjoying our time together.
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.
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: As a dedicated pet caregiver with experience in a busy pet emergency room, I bring both compassion and expertise to every animal I care for. My background has equipped me to handle various situations with confidence and skill, ensuring that pets receive the highest level of attention and love. I understand the unique needs of each animal and strive to create a safe and nurturing environment. Whether it's a daily walk or providing medical support, I'm committed to keeping your furry friends happy and healthy. I volunteer at local animal shelters during some weekdays and also a full time mom to my four whisker babies. I love to take care of all sorts of animals and pet sitting brings me a lot of happiness! Two of my four cats have special health needs and dietary restrictions so I am very on top of giving the best possible care to my and your animals
About: I would be the perfect cat sitter because I believe every cat is perfect and has never done anything wrong ever! I’ve always had a preference towards cats since I was a little girl. I too have strong boundaries, make people earn my love, and hate loud noises! Please consider me when looking for a cat sitter. I would love to come over and watch your cat while they judge me in the corner the entire time! Jokes aside- I am honest, reliable, and respect animals deeply. Your kitty would be in great hands! I am working part time right now so my schedule is really flexible! Let me know what works with you, and I will try my best to make it happen. My shifts at my other job are never longer than 4-6 hours, so that is the longest I’d ever be away! I love structure. The more specific the better! This is your pet and I want to be you while you’re not there. Any feeding schedule, medication, and/or routine you need me to follow I would be more than happy to oblige!
“Bobbie has been so helpful with my dog Mylo! He is always happy to have her visit and she’s great about following through with my requested tasks and ideas to help Mylo be less anxious while I’m away.”
“Grace was a dream: prompt, on-time, courteous, meticulous, personable, and communicative. She asked great questions prior to our booking to assess my pet’s needs, routines, medical needs, personality quirks, and triggers—and she took very astute notes—which shows her attention to details, her sharp listening and analytical skills, and her thorough 360° approach to pet care (while also respecting the client’s home and property). It was a great sign to see how relaxed my pet was with Grace upon the first meeting! I felt very assured and confident that my pet was in good hands. Highly recommended.”
“This was my 1st experience with cat sitting and Lily & I are super satisfied! I told Jason ahead of time that Lily is very skittish around new people and he may not ever see her in person but one of his daily pictures was of Lily in her cat tree. I’ll most definitely be using Cyrillia and Jason’s services again.”
About: Hey There Fresno! I’m new to the area and absolutely loving it. Although I’m new to the area I have many years of animal care under my belt. I hope to continue loving and caring for fur babies out here in the Central Valley! I’ve been in the game for about 16 years now and my knowledge ranges from Pet Nutrion/Health - all the way to Dog Training. Ive LA I worked with celebrity pups and hiked up to 8 dogs of all sizes on my own. I was trained on how to properly communicate with a dog so that the dog and myself have a fun and rememberable experience. I’ve worked mainly with dogs but I own my own cat and have cared for many cats in my prior job with Sitter4Paws. Sitter4Paws gave me experience not only working with dogs and cats but with reptiles as well. I’m no stranger to caring for a Bearded Dragon. I am aware of the heat in this area and can walk dogs early and for short amounts of time in shaded areas and I always have water and treats ( if owner allows it of course) on hand! I’m available everyday! After Nov 21st I will be working evenings 2/3 nights a week. I’ll adjust schedule as it comes in. Thanks! As I had mentioned before I have been trained from in Pet Nutrition/Health all the way to behavior. Our pets (Cooper (dachshund mix) and Delilah (diluted Calico cat)are happy healthy babies. Lilah a senior cat of 12 years. I can tell when a pet is dehydrated or if they may be allergic to something. I have years of knowledge and can assure you your fur babies will be in great hands.

I trained both of my dogs and they have outstanding behavior! I think is very flexible and I feel like with my schedule now is very good because I can take care of him all day and then class is late at night, at that time my younger brother is home and he stays with the pet till I am home!

About: I am a Veterinary Technician by trade so I know a lot about animals. If you have a pet that needs medication or special needs I would be able to offer that service to you. I love animals and have been around them my entire life. I have quite a few animals I take care of when their families go out of town and can provide references. I do work but can do overnights. I can also do evenings and morning drop ins or walks and my days off. We can work with my schedule easily. I won’t be able to have pets in my home because my dog is a rescue who needed to be the only dog in the household. In other peoples homes I go by whatever rules and wishes they have for me.
“We always travel with our babies, but our eldest is going to be 12 this year, so it’s becoming more difficult to bring her along. I was very hesitant to use Rover, but I sent a request to Tiffany and she responded immediately and eased my concerns and answered all my questions. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats so I wanted to make sure it wasn’t overwhelming. She set up a meet and greet a day before which was very thoughtful and although my dogs are very verbal they seemed relax after a while which was a great sign. Tiffany was punctual and followed all the instructions we left for her, so when we got back home from our day trip our babies seemed content. We are very grateful for Tiffany and highly recommend her for anyone looking for her to take care of their fur babies like we did.”
“Kate provided great care for our two dogs while we were away. She came for four visits and arrived exactly when she said she would. We loved the pictures she sent of our boys playing and appearing to not miss us!”

Love love love Miss Alexis! She is such a sweetheart and genuinely cares for our boy when we’re gone! Every time he pops up on our outdoor cameras he’s looking up at her with a big smile and a wagging tail. I cannot recommend her enough, she makes leaving our goofy boy so much easier!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Herndon is $11 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $18 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 702 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Herndon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Herndon. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
