“Lauren took beautiful care of our senior beagle. She stepped in on very short notice and provided us with details of the walk. She handled his high powered bark with patience and savvy. Thank you Lauren!!”
“Keara is amazing! And our babies love her! Prompt on visits and walks, and very communicative which we super appreciate. And has been available on short notice a couple times as well which has been great for us, because we know our children will be in good hands.”
“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!”
“Franky has been walking my 57 lb, 12 year old boxer/lab mix for a week now and I’m very pleased. He asked good questions at our meet n greet before the first walk and is taking excellent care of my girl. He’s super nice and clearly loves dogs and knows how to treat them well. 5 stars.”
“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.”
“Kristen is the best! Coco enjoyed her walk with Kristen. She enjoyed her time with Kristen so much that she didn’t wanted Kristen to leave. Will definitely book her again.”
“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.”
“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!”
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.
About: Hi I’m Todd a recently retired professional looking to fill my schedule with caring for both dogs and cats. I have a very open schedule so no rushing off to an office or leaving your pet alone for long hours. I provide reliable, calm, and attentive care for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. I am highly responsible, communicative, and ready to follow your pet's specific routine as needed. There are many paths around my house, which are great for walking dogs. I am not working so I am very flexible in terms of my schedule. I am usually available during most times of the day or even on short notice if needed. I live in a three level townhouse in Reston with a deck and a small backyard that backs to woods. I do not have any pets of my own, but several of my neighbors have pets.
“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!”
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: 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.
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.
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.
“My dog stayed with me for a few months and because of my job, it's hard for me to predict when I will need a dog walker in advance. Despite my many last minute asks, Edward K. helped me by taking care of Oreo. His communication was great. The pictures he sent indicated that Oreo really liked him and had a great walk each time. Most importantly when I got home I could tell that Oreo's walk with Edward made him more peaceful and settled during my long days away from him. Oreo is going back to live with his family in Ohio for a season but I just wanted to thank Edward publically for helping out in this really meaningful way!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Herndon
We have had Maya walk our dog, Rudy, a few times and she is so great with him! Rudy can be very nervous going outside, but Maya is able to make him feel comfortable to enjoy going outside. She is very communicative and gives us lots of updates which definitely puts us at ease when we aren’t home with him. Highly recommend!!
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.
Christine was reliable, punctual, and easy to communicate with. She was always professional and kept me informed when needed. I appreciated her help walking Simba, and the experience was smooth and dependable. I would recommend Christine to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker.

Claire has been wonderful to work with! She came by the day before for a site visit to meet my dog, which I really appreciated. She took the time to ask thoughtful questions, learn about my dog’s routine, and make sure she understood his needs. Communication has been excellent from the start, and she’s been incredibly flexible and accommodating. Her professionalism and attention to detail gave me peace of mind, and I feel confident knowing my dog will be in great hands. I’m looking forward to using her dog walking services and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. Thanks, Claire! 🐾😊

The average cost for Dog Walking in Herndon on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 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 .

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
- 95% 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.
