About: Hiya! My name is Tyana, I’ve been working with animals since 2018 and haven’t stopped since. If your fur baby needs to be groomed while they’re enjoying their staycation you’re in luck! I’ve been grooming dogs of all shapes and sizes for over six years and have noticed a lot of pups do better on with a one-on-one environment and the conform of their own home. This would be something part time for me and a great way to help spread my awareness that there’s a local groomer in town I would love to build a relationship with my clients and their babies By giving them my undivided love, care and attention to support dogs with or without anxiety a ease of mind that everything is ok as grooming if necessary

About: I’ve been caring for animals practically my whole life! I started taking care of my birds back in 3rd grade, and as I got older, I became the go-to person in my neighborhood for watching everyone’s dogs and cats. Caring for animals is truly second nature to me I understand their needs, moods, and how much love and attention they deserve. Now that I have a cat of my own, I completely understand the worries that come with leaving your pet in someone else’s care. That’s why I treat every fur (or feathered!) baby like my own with patience, warmth, and plenty of cuddles. You can always count on me to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to focus on your fur babies! 🐾 I’m available anytime after 3–4 PM on weekdays and most weekends, except Tuesdays when I have college classes. take safety seriously from double-checking doors and leashes to keeping routines consistent. I make sure your pets feel at home, whether in your space or mine. I also love keeping pet parents updated with pictures and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and cared for!
About: I provide more than just a place for your dog to stay. I strive to make every pup feel comfortable, safe, and truly at home while you’re away. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your best friend. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I’m comfortable working with young dogs who need patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I’m also happy to maintain established routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and other care instructions. My home is a cozy, attentive environment where dogs receive plenty of love, supervision, and one-on-one attention. I also have a friendly, playful pup, and I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable and gets along. My goal is for your dog to feel like they’re spending time with family, not simply being boarded. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m committed to making sure every pet receives plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I’m available for boarding on weekends and on weekdays after 4:30 PM. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications, and plenty of cuddles. I want your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away, with someone available to check on them and provide attention 24/7. I provide a comfortable, safe, and loving home environment where pets can feel relaxed while their families are away. I have a partially fenced yard where pets can enjoy supervised outdoor time, along with plenty of opportunities for walks, play, and relaxation indoors. I also have a friendly pup who enjoys having other pets around and can provide companionship when appropriate. I always respect each pet’s individual personality and comfort level, so introductions are done gradually and pets are never pressured to interact. I have a small dog crate in home if needed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. My goal is to make their stay feel as comfortable and familiar as possible while giving you peace of mind that they’re being well cared for.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was in middle school and love spending time with them! I love having conversations with them and learning their personalities :( I currently work a full time job and I am only available on weekends. My weekends are typically completely free so my schedule is very flexible and I can be an early riser or a night owl! I am used to having to give space when they are anxious or being high energy to match their excitement. I always approach them with a soft tone to know that they are safe and I love giving treats to win their hearts over!

I care for a dog in my home by being kind to the pet, making sure the dog is happy, fed, hydrated and taken great care of.
“I think Charlize has a new best friend, because she wasn’t as excited to see me after a week away with Asal dropping in! Asal is a real pro and gave me peace of mind while I was away for the holidays, with her very thorough updates and photo shoots with Charlize. We can’t wait to book her again!”

“Nicole was wonderful taking care of my cat, Kafka, while I was out of town. She made sure he had his food, gave him his medication, and spent time playing with him and also send me pictures of him.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Herndon
Laura was kind, attentive and responsive. She went out of her way to make sure our pet was comfy, and made sure to send pictures. She also accepted a booking on short notice, and was able to administer oral medicine. You can definitely trust her with your pets needs!
Jenn is seriously the best! We have three big dogs, so finding someone we trust who is comfortable with all of them isn’t always easy, but she is absolutely wonderful with each of them—and our dogs LOVE her! Her communication is great, and if she isn’t available at the exact time we request, she always lets us know what times she can do so we can adjust if needed, which is incredibly helpful. Good, reliable dog care can be so hard to find, and we’re so grateful to know we can always count on Jenn!
Nalelli and Alvaro were amazing and took such great care of our Remi! They were very caring, went the extra mile every chance they could get and made us feel so comfortable and relaxed while we travelled, sending us lots of pictures and status updates on how Remi was doing. Highly highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Herndon is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 15,252 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Herndon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Herndon choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Herndon with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
sitters 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 sitter.
