About: I truly love spending time with pets, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have lots of experience caring for pets and am comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your pup needs an active playmate, a long walk, lots of cuddles, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them happiest. I’m responsible, patient, and very attentive to their needs, and I’ll make sure you receive regular updates and photos while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding, including weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m a dog owner myself, so I understand how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone you can trust. I provide a clean, safe, and comfortable environment and will follow your pet’s usual routine for meals, walks, playtime, and rest. I’ll give your pup plenty of attention and supervision, while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re happy and doing well.
“We had a great experience with LaurieBeth, and our pup Max loved her. From start to finish, everything went smoothly and we felt confident leaving him in her care. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly took the time to make sure Max was comfortable and well cared for. Most importantly, Max seemed really happy and relaxed when we picked him up, which says a lot. It’s obvious he enjoyed his time there. We didn’t have any issues at all and would absolutely trust her to watch him again in the future. Highly recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Herndon
Akshata is very sweet and caring. Kai is usually very shy, but he seemed to get comfortable with her and her place almost immediately. She even sent me photos of him settling in, which gave me great peace of mind. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

Erica was able to provide last minute doggie daycare for Scout without any issues. She was flexible, responsive, and clearly has a heart for caring for dogs. I had to adjust timings and our schedule with changes at work, and she was extremely accommodating and flexible. Would highly recommend her to look after your furry friend!

Kelsie has been an absolute gem of a dog sitter for our Juju 🐶 She’s always available whenever we need her, which gives us so much peace of mind. Juju genuinely loves going to her—he has the best time playing with her dog and even her two cats! It’s such a relief knowing he’s not just being watched, but actually having fun and being cared for like family. We’re so grateful to have found her. Highly recommend Kelsie to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!

Deeksha was very sweet and patient with Kai. My dog is very shy, but he quickly felt comfortable around her. She also sent me many pictures of Kai as updates, which I really appreciated. Another thing I truly value about her is that she is punctual and always on time. My schedule is usually very busy, so I don’t have much time to waste. She even waited outside for me during pickups, which was incredibly helpful. I 1000% recommend her!

Lauren was great and communicative before actually meeting. This made drop-off easy, and she took great care of our little Moose with updates and pictures. Lauren was willing to drop off our dog at the end of the day, which helped since we had quite a busy day. I would definitely rebook with Lauren again in the future!

Diba is such a nurturing person to my WALL-E. The family opened their home up with great hospitality. She kept up with daily routines, photos and interaction throughout the day. I would recommend her to anyone looking for the best service needed for your fur baby! . Thank you so much Diba. WALL-E hope to see you in the future Quiana

Phobos had a great time at Jen’s! He loved playing in the backyard with his new buddy Henry, hanging out on the couch, and settling in for dinner. Jen took photos throughout his stay and was incredibly welcoming and kind to both Phobos and me. Thanks Jen, we’ll definitely be back!

Burrata stayed with Jessica today while my husband and I ran a race a couple hours away. She had such a great time! Jessica kept us updated with lots of pictures and Burrata got walks and treats and had fun! Jessica was wonderful and watched Burrata’s cues to go potty and she had no accidents which I really appreciate since she’s 5 months and still learning. I highly recommend Jessica and will definitely be using her in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Herndon on Rover is $48.15 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Herndon commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in VA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 5,110 sitters in Herndon, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.

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 sitter.
