I am currently taking classes online so i will be home all day with your fury little friend! I am very flexible and I can work around what works best for you. I have a pup named Potter who love to go to the park. He is overly friendly and love to play. We go on daily walks and park trips and occasionally play in his puppy pool.

“Im so thankful Kendra is able to walk my dogs. She responded right away when I first contact her and was able to walk them the next day. I love seeing the report cards with the pictures. I feel better knowing my dogs get out for a walk during the day.”

About: My wife and I did pet sitting in Virginia for a little over 3 years before moving to Tennessee. Our pet parents loved us and recommended us highly. We have never met a dog or cat that didn't like us and some even called my wife the dog whisperer because she has a very calming demeanor. We have taken care of dogs from toy poodles to boxers (3 boxers at one time for the weekend). We love to play and snuggle and we will treat them like they are our own. I work nights but my wife is a stay at home grandmother and between us we have plenty of time to give your dog(s) or cat(s) the special time they need and we would love the chance to get to know yours. I am home full time so I have plenty of time to love on your pet(s) except when I have to go to other clients homes to love on theirs. I have a fenced in yard and take them out regularly and I go out with them to make sure they are safe and secure.
About: Thanks for checking out my profile! I have a deep love for all animals, cats dogs rats reptiles you name it. I have a lot of experience with seniors, medication administration, and am willing to take on any challenge. I’ve had dogs, cats, rats and ferrets growing up my whole life! I’m currently studying in college to be a wildlife biologist. Please be transparent about your animals behaviors! It will help them have a better experience. I currently work part time, so I’m home most days of the week. I have lots of time to take care and love on your fur babies! I’m also available on the weekends and most holidays. I have a big yard, and my own friendly fur babies to keep yours company when I’m away. If your animal needs to be crated, or separated from other animals, that’s okay just let me know!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since the day I can remember, big dogs, small dogs, all kind. I used to pet walks for neighbors, and have been doing dog visit since I was 11. I have 2 of my own pets so I know all the love towards our furry friends, and will always treats yours like my own! I’m currently a college student, and work part time. I try to keep my availability as open as possible to help out everyone. I do work a lot of mornings but, when my morning is open I’m more than happy to stop by. Other then that I have afternoons clear, and school doesn’t effect this due to having classes online. If you ever need me to stop by and visit I will gladly keep them in their normal routine of stuff so it doesn’t feel like a stranger is trying to mess things up. My animals have their own schedules so I get it, like when they get fed, or if they take anything, and when we have actual walk times and not just taking them out to the yard.

About: I’m a firm believer that our pets are family and deserve to be treated with love and respect. I’ve had dogs in my family my entire life and Im currently a dog mom to a handsome Belgian Malinois and a beautiful german shepherd. I’ve had experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I’ve also had experience caring for pets that are deaf, blind, and that require medications and even eye drops. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom, so I have the flexibility to check on your dogs throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, run, dog park, or even a casual hang out for a few hours. Because of my dogs, I’m very specific on if I’ll do overnights at my house. My boys are very dog friendly and love to play, but it can be a little much for other dogs. I prefer to take care of your pet in their home, so they are in a familiar and comfortable environment.

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch. While serving in the military, I became my company’s go-to pet sitter, trusted to provide reliable care for both dogs and cats during long trainings and deployments, sometimes up to a month at a time. I’m experienced with overnight care, senior pet routines, administering medication, and making shy or anxious animals feel safe and loved. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extended care, I treat every pet like family. I transitioned out of the military a year ago, and my schedule is very flexible right now. I welcomed my first baby about a month ago, and just two weeks before she was born, I lost my father. This has been a huge season of change for my family, and I’m looking for a positive way to stay active, get outside, and ease into my postpartum routine. Dog walking has become something I’m really looking forward to. I love getting fresh air, staying active, and spending time with dogs, and I think having regular walks built into my week will be good for both me and the pups I get to care for. I’m currently offering dog walks only and have plenty of flexibility during the day to work around your schedule. My goal is to make every walk enjoyable, safe, and consistent while giving your dog some one-on-one attention and exercise. Since I’m currently offering dog walks, my main priority is making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy while we’re together. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and take the time to learn their dog’s routine, personality, and walking preferences. Before every walk, I double-check that their leash and harness are secure and that doors and gates are safely closed. During the walk, I stay attentive to my surroundings and to the dog’s behavior, making sure they’re comfortable and never rushing them. I know how much trust it takes to have someone care for your dog, so I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m also happy to send updates after walks so you know how your pup did and can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I've taken care of my own dog for the past 8 years, but before that I was raised around dogs and other animals. My grandparents and uncle always had multiple dogs for hunting, so I am very comfortable around and them and developed a love for dogs at a young age. I have dog sat on various occasions over the past 10 years, and I would love to continue to do it while I’m on the job search. I have a relatively flexible schedule throughout the week since I am pregnant and out of work for the moment, so in most cases would be more than willing to try and work something out. I am currently living in a house with my own dog so I would rather not be doing home services on my end but it is possible for well behaved dogs since my dog is very friendly.

About: I have owned two dog in the past 7 years. Each one had their own personalities that provided hardships and beautiful memories. I have experience raising and training my dogs from when they were puppies. I am currently a college student. I am home for the summer and have ample free time to take care of our lovable pets. Including walking, playing, checking in on them, etc. I have owned two dogs within the past 8 years and I love them so much. The care for the dog depends on the size and breed. If the dog needs more exercise and attention, than walks and outdoors time will be heavy. If the dog is small and does not need a lot of exercise, than there will still be walks and outdoors time just not in excessive amounts. All dogs will be cared for in the best way possible.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 401 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Herndon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Herndon. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Herndon after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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 .

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers 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 walker.
