“Andrew and his family pampered and took fabulous care of Archie! We highly recommend them! It is clear that Archie just adores being with them. We look forward to booking with them again!”
“Leslie is THE BEST! We were a little worried because this was the first time we left our dog with someone new, but after doing a meet and greet we knew our dog Roxy would be in great hands. During the stay she sent us plenty of pictures and videos updates and Roxy was smiling on them haha we could tell she was happy and enjoying her time with Leslie. She took her on walks, concert, dog park and gave her plenty of cuddles, which Roxy is a big fan! I would/will recommend Leslie to friends and family and here too! She will be the best person to take care of your furry baby with lots of love and fun! Again, thank you Leslie!!!”
“Perry was an amazing sitter for our pluto. Very sweet and thoughtful ☺️ She made sure pluto was comfortable in every possible way, plus pluto gained a friend in Perry and Caesar 💕 Communicating with her was very easy and she always kept us updated the whole time. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Karen has watched Ruby & Albert a couple of times & she is fabulous. She takes them for lots of walks and snuggles them. Plus she is great communicating with us and telling us how they are doing. Karen is wonderful.”
“We are incredibly grateful to Sujan and Kuzu for welcoming our Tobi into their home. As a pet parent, I am always a bit anxious about leaving our furry baby with someone new, especially since Tobi struggles with anxiety. However, Sujan and Kuzu made us feel completely at ease. From the very beginning, Sujan created a calm and safe environment, introducing Tobi and Kuzu to each other in a way that made them instant friends. Also, Sujan was very flexible and accommodating when our flight got delayed, which we greatly appreciated. Tobi even got a bath, and his bed and pillow were washed. This level of attention and care speaks volumes about the excellent service Sujan provided. The drop-off process was smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Sujan and Kuzu and will definitely consider them for future dog-sitting needs.”
“This is the second time Joanna is taking care of my Maltese dog, it was an amazing experience with such careful attention. She sent me constant updates and also is helping to train her while sitting my dog. It is so nice to have someone to trust to take care of our dog when needed. I am already booking the next time. Awesome experience!!!”
“Highly Recommended! I couldn't be happier with the care Barfie received! Nalleli did an incredible job socializing him and kept me updated with daily photos and videos, which I truly appreciated. It was so clear he was happy, well-exercised, and loved—I'll definitely be booking again!”
“We love Ninfa and so did our cavapoo Lucy !!! It was our first time leaving our 9 year old girl so we were a bit nervous, but Ninfa was so sweet we knew she was in good hands . We got lots of updates on how Lucy’s weekend was going . We are so happy to have found such a caring, loving pet sitter. We will definitely be calling Ninfa again.”
“Kaylyn and Naman are fantastic pet sitters. They treated our Huskey like family and she loved her stay. I would definitely rebook! Thanks-for taking such good care of our Lily.”
“Derek and his family were wonderful with Jace. This was my first time ever using Rover for boarding my dog, and they made the experience so comfortable and easy. I received pictures and updates throughout the stay, letting me know he was doing well and having a good time. Will definitely have Jace stay with them again!”
“We are SO glad that we boarded Valentina with Erica and Kyle! They have the sweetest family and Valentina loved her time with them so much that she didn’t want to leave! She had tons of play time with their little dog and their children and lots of training time with Erica and Kyle. They also kept us updated with daily photos, videos, and texts. They are the best!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Baxter received from Ray! Since this was our first time leaving Baxter with Ray, we were a little nervous, especially since Baxter was staying for only two days. But Ray immediately made us feel comfortable and reassured us that Baxter was in good hands. Throughout his stay, Ray kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was wonderful seeing Baxter looking happy, relaxed, and comfortable. Ray was attentive to his needs, gave him plenty of love and attention, and made sure he was well cared for. When we picked Baxter up, he was happy and completely at ease, which told us everything we needed to know. We could tell he had a great time and was genuinely cared for. Thank you, Ray, for taking such wonderful care of Baxter and making his first stay with you such a positive experience. We truly appreciate the updates, love, and attention you gave him. We’re so glad we found someone we can trust, and we would definitely book with you again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Herndon
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.
We felt very comfortable leaving our pup under the care of this wonderful dog boarder. We received photos of our pup walking, resting, and interacting with the house pup. This gave us peace of mind that our pup was enjoying her time. Our pup came home brushed, clean, and happily tired. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again if the need arises.
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!
Leslie is very thoughtful and really enjoys spending time with dogs. She did a meet and greet so that our 16 yr old little guy felt comfortable in her home. She even had a dog stroller for him to get some fresh air since he can’t walk too long these days. We’re looking forward to working with Leslie again!
Jim and Dwight absolutely loved their time with Lisa. She treats our dogs like they’re her own, showering them with love, playtime, and attention the whole time we’re away. Her communication and photos were excellent, so we never had to wonder how the boys were doing.
Nalleli and her family welcomed my baby girl Sinder like one of the family! It gave me the peace of mind during my travels and I would definitely recommend trusting her with your fur babies! I got many photos and updates and she was super happy and loved! Thank you Nalleli!
Kendall was amazing! We were nervous about leaving our senior dog for the first time and Kendall instantly put us at ease. She was great with our dog, provided walks to match the weather and our dog's needs, and sent daily updates. We would rebook again without hesitation.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Herndon on Rover is $55 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 7,376 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.
