“Kandace was great! I didn’t worry at all about leaving my dog with her for a week. He’s a social fella, so I was glad he could stay with a family and have some dog friends to play with. 10/10 would book again”

“Eric and June were great with Bandit. June sent frequent updates, with pictures of Bandit being a snuggle bug. Seems like Bandit was very happy with his stay.”

“Amazing pet sitter! Olivia has boarded my cat, Charlie, in her home twice now, and both times have been a fantastic experience. She's always great at communicating and sends consistent updates and pictures. She's patient with Charlie when he's shy or nervous about the new place and people, and she lets him adjust at his own pace (which was, thankfully, faster the second time around. Haha). It's awesome having a reliable pet sitter that I can trust to take care of my cat. I highly recommend her, and I will definitely continue to book with her in the future!”

“Jessica is the best! She took good care of my dog last minute and kept me updated throughout. Very professional. The drop-off and pick-up process was smooth too. Would highly recommend!”


“Leslie is the best!! I know Charlie has a blast there because when I drop him off, he zooms from my car to her front door and he prances in like he lives there. I get pictures and updates, everything to keep me at ease. When I pick him up, he’s a happy, tuckered out pup.”

“Roy was wonderful with my dog. I was initially worried since my dog has epilepsy, but Roy understands the condition and took excellent care of him. The place also has a nice backyard for dogs to run and play. Highly recommended!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs basicly all my life. I currently have an Australian Shepherd that is five years old. He is good with other dogs. He has separation anxiety, so I know how to take care of that as well. I work full-time at the University. I go on daily walks with my own dogs. I’m pretty free after work. You’re dog will feel at home:) I have a fenced in yard and I live in a house, so I have plenty of space for your pet. I also make sure that they get plenty of exercise.
“Miranda was especially flexible and communicative the entire time. This was my first time boarding my pup and she seemed to do well, I don’t have much experience to base a full review off of. But she seems happy and well so I appreciate that! Thanks Miranda”

“Maria was very responsive and I received photos daily of my dog. He is the nervous type and I believe she and her husband were both accommodating to my dog in helping him through a nervous time. I am very appreciative of their attentiveness to his needs and care.”

“BearOtis and LuLu had a great weekend with Ms. Heather! They got to play outside so much since the weather was beautiful! They came home exhausted but happy. They even got to meet a new friend this visit! I can’t say enough about the peace of mind we have when we leave them with Heather. I don’t have to worry at all!”
About: I have owned and cared for dogs throughout my entire life, beginning when I was six years old. Over the past nine years of my military career, I have also gained extensive experience caring for pets while service members were away for field exercises, missions or other military obligations. These experiences have taught me to be responsible, dependable and attentive to individual needs of each animal. I understand the importance of providing consistent care, maintaining routines, and ensuring that pets are safe, comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. Although I work full time, I have flexible availability outside of work. I am available for pet care and boarding on weekends and on weekdays after 6:00 p.m., allowing me to provide your pets with attentive and reliable care during my available hours. I have a fully fenced yard where pets can safely play and enjoy some outdoor time. Our neighborhood also has several nearby parks and a large open field close to our home, providing plenty of opportunities for walks, exercise, and exploration. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I will follow the owners instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and other daily routines. I will also treat the home with the same care and respect I would want for my own home, keeping the space clean and secure while providing the pet with plenty of attention and companionship.
“I cannot thank her enough for helping me with my puppy! He stayed over the weekend and she took great care of him. He was a little shy and she did great at keeping him comfortable. She sent me lots of pictures and updates as well. Definitely will be asking for her again!”

“We LOVE using A'Briana to watch Jackson! We have used her for multiple overnight camps, daycare, and dog walking. He gets along with her dogs and she treats him like a part of her family. He knows when we are pulling into her driveway and will run up to her door with his tail happily wagging.”

About: I already have two great dogs! A yorkie(4yrs old) and pitbull(8-9yrs old), I have a great backyard with lots of space to run around in. I’m able to take dogs that need time outside alone away from other dogs. As a dedicated stay-at-home dad managing our family's homeschool schedule and running a home artisan sourdough bakery, I am consistently on-site and present throughout the entire day. My daily routine allows me to seamlessly integrate hands-on pet care into our everyday rhythm, ensuring visiting dogs receive frequent check-ins, consistent supervision, and plenty of attention alongside my daily baking and family responsibilities. Because I do not commute for work, I maintain steady availability and flexible scheduling for both first-time and recurring clients, giving pet parents complete peace of mind knowing their dog is never left unattended. Welcome! My boarding setup is designed specifically for outdoor dogs who thrive in the open air and love spending their days active. Your pup will enjoy full run of a massive fenced backyard with continuous access to fresh water from large water troughs, alongside periodic leash walks to keep them exercised and engaged. Because this is strictly an outdoor boarding environment during the day, guests must be comfortable outside and friendly toward both other dogs and kids. Dogs are only crated at night for sleeping, or brought into shelter in their crates if severe weather hits with bathroom breaks provided every two hours whenever crated. Please remember to bring your dog's crate, food, a sturdy leash, and a secure collar or harness at drop-off
“Alexis treats our girl like her own and we love her! She communicates daily and shares pictures of their adventures. We absolutely love Alexis, thank you for keeping our girl safe and happy!”

“Jennifer did an amazing job taking care of my 6 month old GSP Elton! She went above and beyond to stimulate him mentally and physically while also training him. After the boarding, she provided an overview on what training they worked on together, talked about recommended training leashes/collars, and gave me three puzzles for him to keep and enjoy! Elton was very well taken care of and I cannot say enough positive things about his stay!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Herndon home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Herndon.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Herndon sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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 .
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 KY 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
