“My two dogs really enjoy their time with Anna! She goes above and beyond to accommodate last minute requests and it’s very nice knowing I have someone I can trust to be with my fur babies.”
“Kristen is awesome! Coco is enjoying her morning walks with Kristen. Kristen is very attentive to Coco’s needs and makes sure that Coco has a good time as well her tires her out. Coco come back home tired and hungry!”
“Francisco is an outstanding dog walker! He consistently goes above and beyond to make sure our dog is well cared for. After every walk, he communicates with me and provides thoughtful updates about how everything went, including anything he noticed that I should be aware of. What really stood out to me was his attention to detail and genuine care. During our last walk, it started raining, and he reached out to ask where he could find a towel so he could dry our dog off before leaving. That level of thoughtfulness meant a lot to me and showed how much he truly cares about the pets he looks after. I highly recommend Francisco to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker. Your pet will be in great hands!”
About: I've had pets my whole life and know how much it matters to leave yours somewhere you trust. Your dog will be part of the household here — not crated in a back room — with plenty of attention, a regular routine, and photo updates so you know how the day is going. A few things to know about my setup: I have a yard, but it isn't fenced, so all potty breaks and outdoor time are leashed and supervised. Never off-leash. I have one dog of my own, a friendly female Bernedoodle named Dorothy. She's good with other dogs, and I'm happy to do a meet-and-greet first to make sure everyone gets along. I work from home, so your dog won't be alone for long stretches. Comfortable with puppies, senior dogs with special needs, and everything in between. For walks, I'll stick to whatever route and pace your dog is used to, and I'll let you know how it went. Happy to set up a free meet-and-greet before booking anything. My schedule is completely my own so I can tailor my day to what your dog is used to. Our usual routine is a walk/run in the morning and a walk with the whole family in the evening. Dorothy is crate trained and so can be right next to your dog to keep them company. I have a good sized yard where I can let the dogs out on leashes and a fenced in deck if they want to be outside. I live 5 minutes from an animal hospital and am used to the random ailments that come with taking care of dogs.
“Kelsey is the best! She’s kind, gentle, honest, and communicative. I will be using her again in the near future. She was a God-send while I was recovering from an injury.”
About: I'm an animal lover who enjoys making new furry friends! I have always lived with cats and currently own 3. I'm skilled at giving cats medications and trimming their nails if those are services which interest you. My dog experience includes taking care of dozens of puppers and volunteering at the Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center (PRC). I also have experience caring for less common pets such as chinchillas, snakes, and turtles (and plants!) Don't just take my word for it, check out reviews from past pet owners. Shoot me a message if you'd like to utilize my skills! I work full-time and exclusively from home. I'm flexible with scheduling because I know how life can be. My ideal times for services are early mornings (around 7 am) and early evening (around 5 pm) on weekdays in addition to weekends. I often ride my bike to make my visits. If a zero-carbon drop in appeals to you, let me know and I'll make it a priority :D I can only take care of pets outside of my home because I have a cat who hates dogs and will attack them on sight.
“Keila was so amazing and patient with Ollie ! She went above and beyond to make sure Ollie was comfortable with her and he’s always tired after their walks. Highly recommend!”
“Leslie was amazing! She was able to walk our pup Hank in a last minutes time crunch. Sent pics and had great communication throughout the service. We will definitely work with Leslie again!”
“I highly recommend Alison as a dog walker. She was responsible, communicative, attentive to my requests, and went above and beyond to make my two pups comfortable while we were gone for three days. Overall, we had an amazing experience.”
“Jennifer has been walking our dog Leo on a regular Tuesday/Thursday schedule (mornings and afternoons), and she’s been fantastic. She’s extremely dependable and always communicates well in advance if there’s ever a schedule change. I feel completely comfortable having her care for Leo. What really stands out is how attentive she is — when Leo got sick, Jennifer noticed right away and alerted me immediately so I could get him to the vet. That kind of attentiveness and care goes well beyond just walking the dog. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable dog walker!”
“Nikky did an outstanding job walking my two pets. She's patient, especially with one of my dogs who suffers from anxiety during walks. Looking forward to booking with her again.”
About: I’ve been taking care of my friends dogs since I was 14 I trained them how to do tricks and also walked them and gave them food I’m currently not working so I’ll have enough time to take care of your dog and also maybe teach them some tricks. I enjoy being with dogs. I have a big yard where your dog can play outside and also there’s a big fence. Well protected for the dog,the dog can roam around freely.
About: Hello! I’m Catalina. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I love creating a mix of adventure and comfort for them, whether it’s a hike, a long walk, or a relaxing movie night afterwards. My building has a great dog park with lots of toys, so pups get plenty of space and stimulation. I’m available on weekends and always make sure every dog in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. Your baby will get lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles with me! IG: happ_ypawspetsitting I have availability in the afternoons and weekends. During the weekend I can spend the whole day with them and also at night or dog care. I don’t have dogs or cats in my home , so it will be easy if someone needs me to stay at my place with their dog/cat.
“Hana is a superb dog walker. She arrived on time and was gentle with our Patches, immediately connecting with her and putting her at ease. We will definitely be using her again and recommend to anyone needing a reliable and gentle person to handle your little fury one.”
About: I have a 70 lb pitbull that we walk morning and night. I grew up with dogs from maltese to pibulls and make sure to love them as my own. I work part-time and can accomodate dog walking from morning to afternoon. I prefer meeting up with the pet before to make sure it works out. I make sure the dog is fed and they are walked everyday for potty. Paws are wiped clean when they come in and out of the house.
“Edward was wonderful with my dog. He gave her daily walks for a week while I was in town for work. He was one of few dog sitters who actually responded to a request from outside of their area, but we really lucked out. Edward was prompt with updates and I felt comfortable leaving my dog in his care. I’m so relieved to know when I have to travel to VA for work, I can bring my dog with me and she’ll be in good hands.”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Herndon is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Herndon
Meaghan is fabulous because she is fearless! She is not intimidated by barking or negative dog behavior. She just the only person that I have ever seen with this attitude. As a result, I know she will always take care of my dogs no matter what. I unfortunately didn't leave a review in time for the week around the Fourth of July. We are happy to have someone like Meaghan.
I had plans fall through with late notice and needed a few days of dog walks for my 7mo puppy who is going through his second fear phase. Plus, there wasn’t time to meet Kendall ahead of time, or even be there when she met him for the first time. She did an AWESOME job easing in with my pup and getting his trust so quickly, and the second day he was already excited waiting for her return. Feeling so relieved and grateful for her, and this first experience with Rover in general.
Jennifer has been walking our dog Leo on a regular Tuesday/Thursday schedule (mornings and afternoons), and she’s been fantastic. She’s extremely dependable and always communicates well in advance if there’s ever a schedule change. I feel completely comfortable having her care for Leo.

That kind of attentiveness and care goes well beyond just walking the dog. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable dog walker!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Herndon on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 15,844 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Herndon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Herndon. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Herndon.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Herndon. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
