“What a life saver Kandace was for our family this past week. Last minute text, 2 dogs, snow storm coming, elderly parent hospitalized, etc. not only is she an awesome sitter but caring as well. Thank You!!!”
“This is our second time with Jessica, Great experience! I had to book last minute to take a quick trip. Our dog was happy, well cared for, We would absolutely book again and highly recommend!”
“I had to make last minute accommodations for my dog. Roy was very accommodating and easy to communicate with throughout the process. I would definitely use his services again.”
“Miranda was an excellent choice to board our dog Freddie. We received daily updates with pictures and videos of him having a blast running around her yard. It was a huge relief during the hectic holiday season. We will absolutely choose Miranda again, thank you !!”
“Elizabeth is amazing! My dog fits right in to her pack and I feel comfortable leaving her there. She sends pics and keeps me updated on my dogs health as well. I recommend!”
“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 have always had at least one dog during my life. I grew up surrounded by animals. Dogs, cats, rabbits, and horses. I also volunteered at a veterinary practice and a cat kennel when I was a young adult. I currently work during the week, but my weekends are completely open. I can board Friday evening until Sunday evening. Or I can walk your furbaby anytime over the weekend. I live on a 2 acre lot that Gracie and I walk several times a day. We also go on hikes to explore further afield. Gracie sleeps on my bed and we share a sofa.
“Megan is wonderful! We had never used Rover before and she made it so easy. The minute I met her and her family I knew our dog would be in good hands and we would have nothing to worry about. Will definitely use her again!”
“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 was phenomenal with our pup. She communicates daily and provides you with so many photos to make it feel comfortable leaving your pup with her. I will definitely be using her again. :)”
“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!”
About: I have pet sit my whole life. I love animals of all kinds and am happy to provide love and care to your fur babies. I work full time, but will be able to tend to the pets every 4-8 hours. I take daily walks so your dogs will get plenty of exercise with me! I have a fenced in yard and do not have pets in the home. I have plenty of room for the animals to roam free. I am also capable of handling pets with medical issues.
About: Hi, I’m Leslie! I’ve had pets my entire life, so I understand how much trust it takes to place your dog in someone else’s care. I share my home with Bowie, my French bulldog, and Gordon and Ramsay, my two cats. Caring for Bowie has made me especially attentive to the little things—changes in breathing, appetite, mobility, behavior, or comfort—and taught me how important it is to follow each dog’s individual routine closely. I’m comfortable caring for dogs who need extra patience or individualized attention, including seniors and dogs with special feeding, mobility, or medication. I’m dependable, organized, and comfortable following detailed instructions. Although I’m not a veterinary professional, I am calm, observant, and serious about following owner and veterinarian guidance carefully. Whether your dog stays in my home or I care for them in yours, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. You can expect dependable care, clear communication, regular photos, and honest updates—because I know how much peace of mind matters when you’re away. My daytime schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, doggy day care, and boarding without rushing through visits. I plan each booking carefully so I can give your dog individual attention while maintaining their normal feeding, potty, exercise, medication, and rest schedule. For house sitting and extended stays, I’ll confirm timing and expectations with you before booking. For boarding and day care, dogs have supervised access to my fenced yard. My home is also shared with Bowie, my French bulldog, and Gordon and Ramsay, my two cats. A meet-and-greet is important so we can make sure everyone is a safe and comfortable match. Guest dogs must be able to coexist safely with both dogs and cats. Introductions are gradual and closely supervised. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, crating, leashing, sleeping arrangements, and household boundaries. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both their routine and their space. I double-check doors, gates, leashes, and care instructions and provide updates throughout the visit. I’m especially mindful of heat sensitivity, breathing limitations, and mobility needs in flat-faced, senior, and special-needs dogs.

About: I have experience with all types of animals including cats, dogs, birds, and more. I have been pet sitting for 8 years for neighbors and friends. I currently work 6 am- 2 pm but my hours are somewhat flexible so I may be available for morning if needed. Afternoons and evenings preferred I am unable to accommodate pets in my home unless they are kept in an enclosure. During home visits I typically adhere to instructions by the owner and always enjoy bonding with pets that I visit on a frequent basis.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
97% of sitters in Herndon can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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.
Tip: 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
