“Swetha and her husband took such good care of my rescue puppy over two back to back stays. This was my first time leaving her with a sitter, and after meeting Swetha I felt very assured that she could handle her while I was out of the country. Swetha sent regular updates with pictures, and my puppy had so much fun playing with her dog Pepper. If you are looking for someone who can handle energetic dogs and provide a loving and engaging environment, book with Swetha!!”

“I boarded my dog Buddy and my cat Kitty with Renata and it was a great experience. It was one of the first times I felt like I didn’t need to worry about leaving my pets behind while going on a trip and it was a big relief. I received pictures everyday to see how they were doing and I could tell that they felt right at home. My dog and cat prefer a calm environment and I could tell that they had just that. Would definitely board again if I ever need it in the future! Thank you again!”
“Keira took wonderful care of our dogs for three overnight stays! They were happy to get to know her and her dog Mokka. She took time to learn my dogs personalities and schedules. Highly recommend!”
“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.”

“Hommer and Hellen were fantastic! They went above and beyond taking care of our dog and genuinely love and enjoy all the dogs they watch. They took care of our dog for about 2 weeks and made her feel right at home instantly with plenty of walks, attention, and cuddles. They were very considerate of any requests for the care of our dog and had great continuous communication with updates throughout her stay. We even had a great meet and greet beforehand that made us confident she would be well taken care of and it was a good fit (both for them and our dog!) before the stay even began. We would highly recommend Hommer and Hellen for any of your pet care needs! (Turtle 10 out of 10 recommends them too!)”

“Priscilla was absolutely amazing with our Chihuahua, Peanut! From the moment we met her, she made us feel comfortable and confident that Peanut would be in great hands. Leaving your dog with someone else can be stressful, but she made the entire experience so easy and reassuring. She sent us thoughtful updates every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Peanut and took the time to get to know his personality and needs. She was incredibly gentle, patient, and attentive with him, and her knowledge and experience really showed throughout his stay. We truly appreciate the love and care she gave Peanut, and we’re so grateful to have found someone we can completely trust. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Priscilla again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you so much, Priscilla!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Herndon
Lauren is a great sitter. My dog felt at home at her place. Her dog lulu is such a gentle dog. I got updates on daily basis. They followed all his schedules. He stayed with them for 7 days. And my dog has not picked any bad habits. I am grateful she was available during this time.
Tatiana was a very sweet caregiver for both my dog and cat. She provided them with walks and exercise. I think they both were spoiled with the amount of care they each received. My dog seemed to love having other dogs around to play with or was was just happy to relax. I think they didn’t want to come home. Tatiana communicate very well with me photos and videos of each of them playing or laying around just so I can see they were OK. I would highly recommend her to anyone if they ask me where should they go for a pet sitter.
Perry did great with Moo! She is very attentive and sent us lots of photos every day, all of which indicated that Moo was very comfortable and calm - a big deal for a dog with anxiety! Definitely a testament to how great of a sitter Perry is. Perry also managed a course of ear drops for us when we found out Moo had an ear infection the day we were scheduled to leave, which was extremely helpful! We’re very grateful to have found a sitter that made our girl so comfortable.
Selina took wonderful care of my senior dog, Scooter, while I was traveling. She was kind, flexible, and very easy to communicate with, including when I needed to extend his stay. She sent sweet updates and photos, and it was obvious Scooter was comfortable and loved while he was there. He even got attached to their “dog blanket,” which was adorable. I really appreciated the extra care, flexibility with pickup times, and how safe I felt leaving him with her. I would definitely book with Selina again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter. Thank you!
Sherina has been an awesome dog sitter. She was sending updates everyday and our dog Leo was super happy going to her. Leo was very happy coming home and I could tell Leo was well taken care. I would leave Leo with Sherina in a heartbeat. I would highly recommend Sherina for all your doggy care needs.
This was my first time using Rover! Michelle made this experience very easy and made us feel comfortable to leave our dog for the first time. She was very communicative and max seems to really love her! Definitely will use her again in the future! Great experience! Awesome job!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Herndon home-away-from-home, 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.

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.
