About: Hello to every cynophile and ailurophile on here. My name is Carmen and I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California and if you are familiar with people from LA, you know we LOVE ALL animals. I grew up with a big family who loves animals and since I can remember we’ve always had pets at home. Back in LA we have 4 dogs, 1 turtle and now added to that 5 love birds! Anyways, I no longer live there and moved to the east coast with my partner about 2 years ago. Our new home now houses just 2 cats. One of them is a tabby cat who is 6 years old named Blinchik. He is a very outgoing cat that loves everyone and everything. My other cat is named Nala (Siamese/Tabby) and she is quite the opposite from Blinny boy. She loves to keep to herself and takes a while to trust anyone but once she is warmed up you can see her beautiful shy personality. I used to be a nanny which also meant I took care of their pets as well. I have lots experience taking care of other families pets as well as administering medications when needed. Since I’ve been a dog and cat mom, I treat other families pets like they are my own. I’m currently in grad school to become a Speech-Language Pathologist which gives me a lot of extra time to take care of your fur babies 🩷 I’m currently in my graduate program to become a Speech-Language Pathologist. I’m in school Monday-Thursday with only one class a day. That being said, it gives me lots of extra time in the afternoon/evening to fill up with some dog walking, pet sitting, and playing time. My home has a fenced yard so if your fur baby is staying with me, they will have the yard all to themselves to run around and have fun. If I am coming to your home, know that I will respect it and get the job done as well as loving your pet as if they were my own.
About: I've had dogs (and cats) all my life and love their company. I have always been friends and family's go to person to take care of their dogs. I also have been to several dog training classes so I have a good understanding of dogs and what I'm doing in general. I'm good at running around with high energy dogs and sitting back and chilling with low energy dogs as well. I currently have a lab/pug mix who I love like crazy so I completely understand how important your dog is to you. I am currently a student and available all week and have a very flexible schedule. I take dogs on several long walks every day of the week. My yard isn’t fenced but I have a friendly dog who gets several long walks a day. I’m in a quiet neighborhood and right by a lot of Reston trails that dogs love. My dog is a friendly 10 year old pup who gets along with dogs and cats alike.
“Keara was so patient and attentive with my pup! He’s a bit nervous so she can prepared with treats and knew exactly how to get him comfortable! I would totally book again! Thank you for taking such great care of my pup!”
“Leah was fantastic. So communicative and helpful with giving our doggo a nice long walk and making sure she has everything she needs while we’re at work. Will definitely be rebooking.”
“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.”
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and hamsters. Currently have a dog and a cat that I love very much. The dogs I had were mostly medium to big size (German shepherd, Rottweiler, and Lab). I’m flexible with my time since I work remotely so happy to do drop ins or host pets at my house. I work full time but from home most days and have the flexibility and space to care for pets. Happy to help with overnight care as well. I have a fenced back yard for the pets to play in and I personally love animals but don’t have the time to care for one on my own at the moment
“Went above and beyond! Our puppy had so much fun! We will definitely be using Skylar’s services when we need. This had been the best experience with a dog walker. He is also very knowledgeable and noticed when our pup wasn’t feeling well.”
“Susan was wonderful. Our dog was battling cancer and required extra patience, attention, and assistance with her mobility. I’m glad that she had Susan and her daughter Lucy to love on her in her last weeks of life. Thank you Susan!!!”
“I have two dogs, one rescue who can be anxious and one beagle. We had two sets of walks. Katherine was on time and provided updates through the day. She took great care of both my dogs. I’m very happy with my service and will be contacting Katherine the next time I need someone to walk and care for our pets.”
“Julianne has helped us a few times now with our very needy pup. She was wonderful during an overnight stay previously, and has since helped us with drop-in/walks. She’s very responsive and flexible to changing plans!”
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: I’m an active individual that will ensure your pup gets his/hers needed daily exercise. I’ve volunteered with dogs of all sizes, 10 pounds to 100 pounds! Throughout our walk I will make sure to be aware of our surroundings and protect your pup as if they were my own! Ps I do not mind providing updates throughout our walk! I’m an early bird so I can walk your dog as early as 6 or 6:30 am. I work hybrid and can even go during my lunch hour to take your dog out for a quick walk or pee break. If not, evenings are perfectly fine as well. I will be sure to follow every and all instructions you provide for your pup. You know them best so I will make sure they stay in routine while having some fun!
About: I have experience taking out dogs during the day, walking them for long periods. I have a car so I would be willing to drive them to dog parks or just parks to walk if that is what you wanted. If any messes happen I will be willing to clean them up in no time! If your dog just needs time for someone to hangout with them and play inside I can be their best friend! I am working part time so I would love to come care for your dog when I can! I love walking daily so it is no issue to include your dog in my schedule! I am very respectful of your space and intend to care for your dog and your space as my own. I have my own plants I care for and tend to always be very cleanly.
About: Calendar is currently up to date through Feb 2027! Growing up we had outdoor cats, until a tiny 5lb chihuahua came around and stole our hearts. We had her for 15 resilient years. I went on to foster a handful of dogs through my college years at a local rescue.I then helped my roommate from 2018 to 2020, Rover pets until we went our separate ways and I adopted the sweetest 10 year old pup, Rocky. We had 2 wonderful years together until my boyfriend and I had to unexpectedly put her down in September 2022. Love found it’s way back into our hearts a few months later; when we met our new pup Ozzy. He has brought so much joy and energy into our home. I am WFH M-T-Th-F and available most weekends! I have a few meetings a week, but the rest of my work is project based. This makes it so I can stop in for a quick walk, or just to hang for a bit relatively easily. I can also work from your home and spend some time with your pet if they require more one on one time. When doing in-house stays, drop-ins, and walks I will always be respectful of your space and your home. I am very flexible and will follow any instructions you asks for while I’m taking care of your pup.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Herndon
I have used Raymond before, and it was great! He is very nice, patient with Kai, and a great communicator. He took Kai for a nice walk and also spent some time playing tug-of-war with him afterward. He gave Kai treats and fresh water too. I really appreciate how caring and attentive he is with Kai. I would definitely recommend Ray!
Anna is incredibly reliable, prompt, a great communicator, and great with the animals. Even my somewhat curmudgeonly senior dog is happy to see her. lol She’s helped us out short notice, sent plenty of pics, and left the house as it was when she got there. Nothing I’d change or add ! I’d definitely recommend her to friends and family. ☺️
Paige was amazing! I needed to find a dog walker last minutes and she was so nice and responsive that I felt totally comfortable with her walking my nervous girl Gretchen. She was so patient with Gretchen, who takes a while to warm up to people. She sent updates and took cute photos to share the walk with me. Will definitely hire her again :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Herndon is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 15,565 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 Herndon. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Herndon after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
