Dog Sitting Herndon

About: I grew up with pets in my household, so I absolutely adore animals and have been taking care of them since I was a child. Additionally, for the last several years, I have taken care of my friends and neighbors pets. I work full-time; my schedule can vary slightly, but typically I work 7:30-3:30 Monday-Friday in McLean. I am available after those times, on the weekends, and over holidays! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special care instructions so they feel secure and well cared for. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while maintaining a calm, clean, and safe environment. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care that I would give my own.

“Amazing experience. Rosemary is punctual, knowledgeable, and truly listens to individual dog needs. My dogs loved her right away, and she was so nurturing during her time with them. We will be booking again!”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs all my life and love pets of all kinds. I currently have a 10-year old dog, so I am experienced with senior needs. I love going for long walks with furry friends and always make sure they get lots of play time. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to play with your dogs or cats. Need early morning, lunch break, or evening walks or drop-ins I'm there! I will work with the schedule you outline and ensure your pet is getting the attention and care they need. Busy walks, treats, feedings if needed, I can take care of it all.

“Abby took wonderful care of my cat, in every way; both kind and reliable - highly recommend her!! I instantly felt at ease with her when leaving my newly-adopted older kitty for the first time, which made traveling less worrisome for me. She stayed in great communication with me and even helped to secure my cat when apartment maintenance needed to enter my place. I’m grateful to her, and we look forward to working with her again.”

About: I have 15+ years of experience caring for cats, and 5 years of experience caring for dogs. My priorities are keeping your pets active and engaged, and maintaining a consistent environment for whatever training program you may have in place. I am always working to find new ways to make my own pets happy, and I will do the same for yours! I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds, with any medical and / or dietary needs, including administering medicine if that is necessary. I have lots of experience with elderly cats and young puppies, so I'm very comfortable with accidents and grumpiness! I'm currently working part time in the midday, so I have plenty of time for longer drop ins and walks in the morning or afternoon. I appreciate detailed notes, so I can maintain your pets best home environment. I will always do my best to clean up any messes, and to respect your home the same way I do mine.

“Even though she came in for a simple drop in visit as I was out of the house the whole day, she still did a phenomenal job with feeding the animals, administering my cats specific medication, and walking my dog around the neighborhood! I also have a pet toad in which she helped feed him as well:) All in all, i recommend booking her for your pets!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience of over 15 years in caring for dogs, alongside my commitment to their physical activity and nutritional well-being. I engage dogs in a variety of activities, such as hiking, backyard playtime, ensuring they are not only physically active but mentally stimulated. During inclement weather, I have numerous dog toys at home to keep them entertained and active indoors. Moreover, I have skills in administering medications such as pills and ear solutions, a requirement that may arise in caring for senior dogs or those with medical conditions. Perhaps what distinguishes me the most is my passion for making healthy dog treats from scratch. I firmly believe in providing dogs with nutritious and healthier food options, and this homemade approach is a testament to that. Additionally, I offer a beautiful, spacious home environment, surrounded by woods and walking trails, providing dogs with an extensive area for exploration and play. My approach to pet care combines both love and professional skills, ensuring your dog would be in the best possible hands. I currently work hybrid and very flexible with timings either late night or early morningsI So I have plenty of time to play with your pup! I also have two gorgeous English cream retriever dogs named Misty (6yrs) and Maya (2yrs) that are super duper calm, playful and very well behaved! I never leave pets un-attended even if it's fenced to make sure they are ok. My home has a beautiful walking trail right behind my backyard! I always make sure their water bowl is full and pay attention to the toys/chewables they put in their mouth so I can act quick in case they choke. If they feel sick, I keep them next to me all the time and they go on my office bed when I'm at work and totally open to taking the pet to the recommended veterinarian if needed and will be in communication with the owner at all times, I wouldn't mind being away from my work for few hours! I’d prefer all communications to be through Rover only and not exchange personal numbers/emails.

“Emily took great care of my cat while we were away for the weekend. She sent plenty of updates and pictures and u could tell cinnamon had a great time. Thank you again!”

“Delaney does a great job -- she has done mid day visits for us in the past, as well as overnight stays in our home. We have a dog & a cat ... and they have done great with Delaney! She's great about sharing updates while we're gone too. We will continue booking with her! :-)”

About: Hi! I’m Kelly 😊 Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them truly comes naturally to me. I have 3+ years of experience working in a vet clinic and 2 years in a boarding facility, along with lifelong experience as a dog owner. Your pup will be in experienced, attentive, and genuinely loving hands. I share my home with my own dogs, so I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust. I focus on making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home, while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I work from home and spend most of my day with the dogs, so they get plenty of attention and supervision. If I do go out, they are left alone for no more than 2 hours. I can provide Crating if that’s part of your dog’s normal routine. I’m very attentive to safety and understand dog behavior and health needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, including insulin, and always follow care instructions closely. Your dog will be in a calm, safe environment where they’re truly loved and cared for like family.

About: I provide thoughtful, home-based care for dogs who thrive in a calm and structured environment. As a work-from-home sitter, I’m able to give consistent attention, supervision, and a steady routine throughout the day. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs with different energy levels and temperaments, and I pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and safety. What sets me apart is that I keep things intentionally small and controlled. I take the time to understand each dog’s needs, and prioritize a low-stress experience with plenty of outdoor time, gentle structure, and a secure fenced yard. I also require a meet-and-greet to ensure the right fit, so every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after.I keep my care intentionally small so each dog gets consistent attention and a calm environment. Doggy care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and am able to provide consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day.Dogs in my care are part of a calm, structured routine that includes regular outdoor time in my fenced yard, walks on nearby trails ( My fenced backyard opens directly to walking trails for easy access to outdoor time and walks) along with plenty of time to rest and relax indoors. I build my schedule around the dogs I’m caring for, making sure they get a good balance of activity, attention, and downtime. On a weekly basis, I keep things predictable and low-stress, which helps dogs settle in comfortably. I’m mindful about not overbooking, so each dog receives the time and attention they need without feeling overwhelmed. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, their care and routine remain consistent so they feel safe and at ease... When pets stay in my home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow each dog’s feeding schedule, potty routine, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. Dogs have regular access to my fenced yard for bathroom breaks and outdoor time, along with walks on nearby trails depending on their energy level. Inside the home, dogs are given a calm space to relax and are never left unsupervised for long periods since I work from home. I introduce dogs thoughtfully and only take on a small number at a time to maintain a safe and low-stress environment. I also pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and overall comfort, and I communicate with owners if anything seems off. My goal is to make their stay feel predictable, safe, and as close to their home routine as possible.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for friends, family, and family friends, including paid dog walking and pet sitting. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I’m committed to providing dependable care and keeping owners updated while they’re away. I’ll treat your pet with the same attention and care they receive at home. Besides my job, pet care fits well into my weekly routine, allowing me to provide reliable and flexible care. I make time for what they need and I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is doing well. I always follow the owner’s instructions and keep their routine as consistent as possible. I make sure pets have fresh water, receive meals on schedule, get plenty of exercise and attention, and keep them in a safe environment. During walks, pets securely leashed, and treat every home and pet with respect and care.

“Another great experience with Katherine! She takes such good care of our 2 high maintenance dogs. She always sends pics and provides updates. We love being able to go away stress free because we know our dogs are in good hands.”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by a variety of animals—dogs, cats, gerbils, fish, and even horses—so caring for them is second nature to me. I’m comfortable looking after multiple pets at once, and I truly believe every animal is awesome in its own way! Whether it’s a playful pup, a curious kitty, or anything in between, I love spending quality time with every pet I meet. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I don’t just “let them out” for a quick break. I’m here to make sure they get some exercise, fun, and lots of attention while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply giving them some affection, I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own. With flexible scheduling, reliability, and a commitment to ensuring your pets are happy and well-cared for, you can rest assured knowing I’m always ready to lend a helping hand (or paw!). Let me take care of your furry, feathery, or scaly friend while you’re at work or on vacation—I’m excited to meet them! I have a flexible schedule and am available everyday, morning, daytime, and in the evening. Pet sitting, boarding and walking fits seamlessly into my schedule. Your pets will be treated like my own while staying with me and while being cared for by me. Rest assured your fur baby will be like family.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including raising and training my 110lb male German Shepherd from puppyhood. He has a gentle mouth, reliably responds to his commands, and has been trained in loose leash heel walking and attentive manners. I’m comfortable providing walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and companionship, and I understand the importance of following each dog’s individual routine and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week. I’m able to accommodate different routines and schedules, and I have plenty of time to give each pet attentive, unhurried care. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs and routine. I’m very comfortable caring for pets in their own home and understand how important it is for them to feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, walks, potty breaks, routines, and house rules. I’m respectful of your home and will keep it clean, secure, and cared for while you’re away. Most importantly, I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and individual needs so they receive patient, reliable, and loving care.

“Thanks for taking care of Meadow!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, so I’ve had years of experience caring for animals and learning how to handle different personalities and needs. I’ve dog sat before and really enjoyed it—it made me realize how much I love being around animals. I love both dogs and cats, and I feel really comfortable caring for either. I’m a trustworthy, responsible person who takes pet care seriously, whether that means sticking to routines, going on walks, or just making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, not just “watching” them. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits pretty easily into my routine. I’m flexible with my schedule, so I can plan around walks, feeding times, and whatever each pet needs day to day. I’m already someone who likes staying active and being out and about, so I don’t mind making time for drop-ins, walks, or longer stays. I’m good with sticking to routines and making sure pets get consistent care and attention while their owners are away. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and sticking closely to their normal routine, feeding, walks, meds if needed, and any specific instructions. I’m very mindful about safety, like making sure doors are locked, leashes are secure, and always keeping a close eye on pets. I treat every animal like my own, so I’m really attentive to their behavior and needs. I also respect the home I’m in and keep things clean and organized. Overall, I try to create a calm, safe environment where pets feel cared for while their owners are away.

About: I’m a great listener, I know every pet is unique & I want them to be comfortable. We had a pitbull for 14 years who passed and now looking for other pets to love on. I work a full time job but I’m remote Monday and Friday and off evenings 7pm and weekends. For weekends, I prefer a few days heads up. I have a clean and safe home, big yard (not fully fenced) , lots of trails near me. I also don’t mind staying in other peoples homes.
