“Elena is the greatest. My Scrappy had an extended stay with her and she took such good care of him. We got pictures and videos everyday and he was a happy dog. Highly recommend Elena.”
“Lydia took incredible care of our pup while we were out of the country. We had never left him for so long or gone so far away and I was nervous since he is the baby of the family. She sent so many pictures and videos and really went above and beyond to ensure he got lots of love and attention. He always looked happy and I was reassured right away that he was in great hands with her and her family. I would recommend Lydia to anyone!”
“Lauren took such great care of my Teddy while I was out of town. Plenty of walks and play time, he looked so happy in every photo she sent (except for the ones he was peacefully snoozing in). I’d leave Teddy with her again anytime!”
“ Alana was a delight to work with and she took very good care of our dog, Lucky. He was comfortable with her at our first meeting and seemed in excellent spirits when we picked him up. We would recommend Alana very highly. ”
“Nancy and her daughter Elena took really good care of my fur baby! I received a photo every day of my pampered pooch, and she looked to be both happy and comfortable! Travel ended a day earlier than expected, so I arranged for early pick up. Will definitely consider this Rover rep again, however, when planning my summer vacation.”
“Shiva is an amazing dog sitter. Our fur baby is pampered, cuddled, loved, walked, and well cared for throughout her stays with Shiva. She sends wonderful updates and pics each night so we know our dog is thriving while we are away. I am a devoted repeat customer and chose Shiva again and again. She is reliable, trustworthy, and loves our dog as if she was her own.”
“Carla and family is amazing. I boarded biscuit in the last minute and they treated biscuit as their own dog. Biscuit had an amazing time there and Carla sent me a lot of pictures and updates on biscuit. I will highly recommend Carla !!”
“Renata provided exceptional care for Timothy. Following a strict potty training schedule, she successfully ensured that he returned fully potty trained. Additionally, Renata took him on extended walks, encouraging his curiosity to lead the way. Renata will be my go to sitter moving forward!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Baxter received from Ray! Since this was our first time leaving Baxter with Ray, we were a little nervous, especially since Baxter was staying for only two days. But Ray immediately made us feel comfortable and reassured us that Baxter was in good hands. Throughout his stay, Ray kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was wonderful seeing Baxter looking happy, relaxed, and comfortable. Ray was attentive to his needs, gave him plenty of love and attention, and made sure he was well cared for. When we picked Baxter up, he was happy and completely at ease, which told us everything we needed to know. We could tell he had a great time and was genuinely cared for. Thank you, Ray, for taking such wonderful care of Baxter and making his first stay with you such a positive experience. We truly appreciate the updates, love, and attention you gave him. We’re so glad we found someone we can trust, and we would definitely book with you again!”
“Omar and his family took such great care of my Bella while I was away. From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in a warm, welcoming environment. She had a blast playing with the other dogs and soaking up all the attention they gave her. What really stood out was the communication. Omar kept me updated with messages, and pictures which made it so much easier being away from her. I could see she was happy, relaxed, and truly being cared for like one of their own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Bella came home happy, and that says everything.”
“Blanca was an amazing sitter. She helped me out in a pinch with a last minute, kept me updated during my little guys stay, and showed him lots of love. I would definitely recommend her to folks on this platform!”
“William was wonderful to our boy, Mickey! He was so flexible and understanding to coordinate a meet and greet then overnight stay. Lots of updates were sent showing Mickey having a great time with Maui! Thank you for being so welcoming and accommodating!”
“Sri and Aparna were wonderful hosts to Cody. I had a last minute cancellation for coverage and they responded quickly. He enjoyed their fenced in yard and time with the family, including their cute dog. He got treats for entertaining them. Great experience.”
“Ellie had a wonderful stay with Hommer! They genuinely care and treated her like their own. I got lots of pictures and updates, and never felt nervous about leaving her. I will definitely be booking with them again.”
About: Leaving your dog with someone else can feel like a big deal! You want to know that they’re safe, loved, and in good hands. That’s what I’m here for :) I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and love dogs! I’ve been caring for dogs for many years and have experience with the day-to-day responsibilities that come with having a pet. I’m patient and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs, and I want them to have the best time while they’re in my care! Whether your pup wants a good walk, some playtime, or simply a lot of love and attention, I’ll meet them where they are. I have a pup of my own: a blue heeler/pomsky mix, so I’m no stranger to energetic personalities and their little quirks! If you’re looking for someone who will give your dog plenty of care, attention, and love, I’d love to meet you both! I’ll also be sure to send many updates throughout their care. I currently work full-time during the week, so I’m primarily available on weekends (Friday evening to Sunday), with some weekday evening availability depending on the day. I’m happy to work around your dog’s usual routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. Whether you need someone for a walk, a drop-in visit, or weekend dog sitting, I’d be happy to help! I live in a townhouse with a small, unfenced yard, as well as a large grassy area and plenty of walking paths nearby for walks, sniffs, and exploring. I also have my dog, Peter, so our dogs will be sharing a home together. Peter loves making new friends and getting playmates! While I’m sitting, I’ll be home with the dogs most of the time, if not all, aside from the occasional short errand when needed. If you and your pup are comfortable with car rides, I’m also happy to take them to nearby parks and trails to explore! I’ll always follow your instructions and your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. When caring for your pup in their home, I would love to take them for walks, stay in for some playtime and cuddles, or simply follow whatever routine and activities they enjoy the most!
“Andrea is awesome!! It was our first Rover experience and it couldn’t have gone better! She took great care of our dog Ginger and sent lots of cute updates of Ginger and her dogs being the sweetest friends! Andrea is very communicative and takes the time to really get to know the dog she is caring for. We will 100% be a repeat client. Highly recommend! Thank you Andrea!”
“Highly recommend! They took great care of Blue and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Communication was excellent, and it was clear that Blue was well cared for and treated like part of the family. We really appreciated the updates and attention he received. We would definitely book with them again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Blue!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Herndon
Kendall did an incredible job with our 15 year-old dog. Her apartment was perfectly set up for dog sitting with lick mats, treats, and everything a dog could want. She was great about sending us updates and for a 15 year-old dog to wag his tail that much says it all. We 100% endorse Kendall as an excellent sitter.
Sherina has been an awesome dog sitter. She was sending updates everyday and our dog Leo was super happy going to her. Leo was very happy coming home and I could tell Leo was well taken care. I would leave Leo with Sherina in a heartbeat. I would highly recommend Sherina for all your doggy care needs.
This was my first time using Rover! Michelle made this experience very easy and made us feel comfortable to leave our dog for the first time. She was very communicative and max seems to really love her! Definitely will use her again in the future! Great experience! Awesome job!
Jim and Dwight absolutely loved their time with Lisa. She treats our dogs like they’re her own, showering them with love, playtime, and attention the whole time we’re away. Her communication and photos were excellent, so we never had to wonder how the boys were doing.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Herndon on Rover is $54.63 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 7,589 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Herndon. About 91% of Herndon sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 pet, 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.
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 .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
