“Leslie took such wonderful care of my two senior pups who have various special needs. She stayed in close contact with me in the lead up to their stay to ensure she had all instructions and that she had all the appropriate information she needed from me. While I was gone, she sent photos and videos every day, as well as updates about how they were doing and if she saw anything potentially abnormal. She has a great set up at her house with plenty of trails for walks during the day. Leslie is a true professional and I highly recommend her!”
“Sujan was a joy to work with from the initial booking to picking up my dog at the end of my trip. He was so attentive and intuitive to my dog and even fed him home-cooked meals! I cannot recommend Sujan enough if you want peace of mind while away. I will definitely (and hopefully,) use his services in the future. Thank you, Sujan!”
“Lisa is the absolute best! She takes excellent care of our Gus, loves and spoils him, and keeps us updated throughout his stay. Our boy happily goes to her and we are so grateful to know that he is safe, well cared for, and loved while we are away!”
“Leanna was an absolute delight. Our meet-and-greet prior to my pup's stay was very professional, and her calm demeanor made me feel at ease. She was extremely transparent about her schedule with the other dogs and asked all the right questions to ensure I felt comfortable leaving my baby with her for a few days. During my pup's stay, I received updates and photos, which further reassured me. Communication was always prompt. I highly recommend Leanna and her cozy home.”
“So appreciative of Emily’s care of our pup Ozzy! She kept us in the loop and sent great photos. Ozzy has a history of eating small toys and she was receptive to make sure he didn’t. Looked like Ozzy had a great time, he was tired and happy when he got home. Thanks Emily, can’t wait come back!!”
“I contacted Gail when I needed a sitter for Nala as I was very happy with the last time Nala stayed with her and Creagh. She is so nice and took very good care of Nala. She sent us pictures of her everyday with a text and that was so great. It makes you feel so good and at ease when you know your dog is being cared for with such love and kindness as Gail does. We will definitely contact Gail again when we need a sitter for Nala.”
“Shiva and her family took great care of our dog and you can feel "the passion in the air". We received pictures and Shiva was flexible and kind and I am looking forward to another visit!”
“Karen is the best! My long time sitter is less available due to family issues and I feel so lucky to have found Karen. My little guy has stayed with her three times and I completely trust her. Bonus: she sends regular pics/updates.”
“This was our first time boarding our dogs with Ksenia. She was communicative, organized, and sent a lot of pictures ! Definitely will recommend her to anyone and will be utilizing her services in the future !”
“Our dog had a two week vacation with Staci and was very comfortable with her. It was great receiving updates and pictures and I was completely confident that Staci was taking great care of our baby.”
“Musa and his family are wonderful with our dog, who can be quite quirky. He was extremely excited to see Musa when I dropped him off... which has never happened with a sitter before. Thank you for caring for him so well!”
“Renata provided exceptional care for Timothy. Following a strict potty training schedule, she successfully ensured that he returned fully potty trained. Additionally, Renata took him on extended walks, encouraging his curiosity to lead the way. Renata will be my go to sitter moving forward!”
“We are so thankful to have Kayla watch our Lucy! She goes above and beyond. We always know she's in good hands. Lucy just loves her and gets excited to see her when we drop her off!”
“Kelly was amazing! JJ had such a great time and a friend to play with the whole time. Kelly sent me many pictures which I appreciate, and they were always of JJ comfy or having a great time. Highly recommend!”
“We've boarded our dog with Nina and Kon before and I missed my chance to leave a review the first time. They are the absolute best. They truly treat our dog as one of their own and provide frequent updates on all the activities—daily walks, trick-or-treating, and playtime with the pack. Trusting anyone with your pet is a difficult thing to do, but with Nina and Kon, we can truly relax knowing he’s in excellent hands and being well taken care of.”
“Our little Bean came back to us healthy & happy! Ivan gave us a tour of his home where Bean would be, including a great backyard for her to run around. He followed Bean's care instructions & kept us updated with photos as we were out of the country. We would definitely ask him to be our dogsitter again. Thank you Ivan.”
“Our pups love going to Veronica’s. They love being around other dogs and must play a lot. They come home ready for a nap. We never worry about them while we are away. She sends photos to update. It’s their doggie vacation.”
“Carl was a great sitter! He set me tons of photos while we were away, took him to a park to play fetch, and even gave him a doggy bag of treats to take home. We will absolutely use Carl again!”
“Piri's Place is nothing short of amazing! We left our sweet senior cocker spaniel with Jane for a 10 night stay while we were traveling internationally for our wedding. I have followed Jane and Piri's Place for over 5 years on social media and I knew she would be the ONLY person I could trust with the care of our baby while we were gone for such a long time. We drove an hour and a half just so Teddy could stay there and wow was it worth it! Her attention to detail with her daily reports along with beautiful photos kept us completely at ease while we were away. I knew Teddy had such a fun time hanging out there. I wish we lived closer so we could take him to Piri's Place more often. THANK YOU, JANE!”
“Hoa is an amazing caretaker. Her passion for caring for senior dogs is evident. She is conscientious, responsive, and timely, and was diligent in administering medication to my dog as requested. She also kept Hallie active, providing plenty of walks and outdoor activity. I would be happy to use Hoa’s services again.”

Another wonderful experience with Tatiana. She takes great care of my girl and sends photos and videos every day. I am able to enjoy my trip knowing that my sweet girl is in great hands. in addition, my dog gets to spend time with her dog and cat and other dogs which gives her great company and socialization. Tatiana is the best!
Excellent dog walker! Very reliable, caring, and professional. Kisanet treated my dog with so much attention and kindness, and I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. Communication was great, and she was always dependable and on time. I would definitely recommend Kisanet to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their dog!
Nathalie is a fantastic sitter!! Our dog can be very anxious, but she warmed up immediately and had a great time. She took wonderful care of her, ensuring she ate even when hesitant and giving her plenty of outdoor play time. We will definitely be booking with her again 😊
Omar was fantastic with our two dogs during a two-week stay. He sent lots of photos throughout and kept us fully updated the entire time, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. He was consistently responsive to messages and clearly took great care of both dogs. We highly recommend Omar and will definitely book him again!
Kaylyn and Naman are amazing!! My dog Maggie had the most amazing time staying with them and sent me daily photos of Maggie throughout her stay. They are both so sweet and accommodating. I will definitely use their services again and would recommend anyone to book them! Very happy customer indeed!!
April took excellent care of Tiza, my high-energy 6-year-old puppy. She kept us informed throughout the stay, shared plenty of photos, and made us feel completely at ease. Tiza came home happy and relaxed. Maple, April’s dog, is such a sweetheart and got along great with Tiza, which made the experience even better. I highly recommend April and look forward to booking with her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Herndon on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 7,360 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Herndon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Herndon sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Herndon landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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 VA 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.
