“This was our first time using this sitter, and we had a great experience! They were very nice and took great care of my dog. He seemed happy and comfortable, and we would definitely consider booking with them again”
“Ruidi took wonderful care of my pitbull mix Sunny. She sent lots of nice pictures during the stay, and she took the time to cook yummy chicken and broccoli for Sunny to enjoy. Sunny usually eats dog food. So I'm sure this was a lovely vacation for her. Ruidi is a loving and caring dogsitter, and I would recommend her!”
“It was our 1st experience with them, we cannot thank them enough!!! Prior to Onboarding, they asked about Rosie to get to know her better with every detail such as medical conditions, medication schedules, and personality. They uploaded Photos and Videos with summary on Rosie every day. We are relieved during our trip due to their thorough care. We felt lucky to meet them, and would like to ask them to sit Rosie again. Thank you very much again for your care.”
“We cannot thank Catherine enough for the service that she provides. Our pup is always very happy to arrive at Catherine’s and, more importantly, happy and relaxed when he returns home. Catherine was so kind and flexible when our flight was canceled, resulting in what we anticipated would be a very, very late pick up. You should not hesitate to make a booking with her. She will take very good care of your fur baby.”
“6 stars!! I just started using Rover and can’t believe my great luck. Aastha was so incredible with my dog. She sent texts and videos and was so loving to my dog. She walked him on a regular schedule and of course has a fenced yard to run around in. Aside, from the great care, she and her family made me feel so welcome in their home. Her family is just so kind. I highly recommend Aastha for all your dog sitting needs!!!”
“Brianna was great with Nalu! She listened to what she needed and followed instructions. I received updates and photos throughout the visit, and Nalu seemed so happy in the photos 😊. I even received the cutest photo collage during pick up, which I’m putting up on my fridge!”
“Pluto had a wonderful time with Lauren and her kids. Lauren has a beautiful fenced backyard it’s just a pleasure for pets to run around. Lauren took pluto for morning and evening walks, regularly sent me videos and photos of pluto . Lauren took care of every detail requested for pluto. Would definitely love to board pluto again. Thanks Lauren and family.”
“Our dog Penny loved spending a few days with Juli at her house. She has a great house and yard plus made Penny feel like she was just right at home. Penny loved spending time with her dog too for extra play time. We would definitely use Juli again!”
“I recently left my Lab Simba in Jordan’s care. During his stay, Jordan sent us daily updates on Simba. Simba was very happy and comfortable with Jordan and this has been one of the best boarding experiences for Simba yet. Would definitely recommend Jordan as she is a wonderful pet-sitter. Jordon will be our go to option in future.”
“Ms. Karmen is a dream come true. I could not ask for a more wonderful caretaker for my big boy Clover. She showed Clover so much love and cared for him as if he were her own. I sincerely appreciated all the care shown to Clover. Karmen definitely deserves a 10 + +. Thank you so much Karmen!”
“Mia had a great time with Praneet, Venkata, and their dog. Upon drop-off, she immediately ran to their dog like she was greeting an old friend and rolled onto her back for a belly rub. She enjoyed lots of cuddles and walks during the visit. Another great stay with two very attentive and responsive dog sitters.”
“Tracey and her family took care of my dog with so much love and attention! We started with a Day Care trial, followed by a weekend stay, and now a longer period. I felt completely relaxed while we were traveling because Tracey knows how to take care of animals. She sent photos and kept us informed about Harry's routine. Harry loves to cuddle and I feel like he has found a family that keeps him happy while we are away. I recommend her without hesitation!”
“Tiffany had another great stay! Jane sent updates and adorable pictures of Tiffany relaxing and lounging with the pack. Jane is great with preparing Tiffany's meals, which includes many steps and special supplements. Jane also administered Tiffany's prescription eye drops as needed. We were delayed in our return back into town, and Jane was so understanding and flexible. Thank you Jane!!!”
“Angela was amazing! They took such great care of my dog sending regular updates and adorable photos. It was clear my pet was happy, comfortable, and well-loved while I was away. Communication was easy and reassuring from start to finish. I would absolutely book with Angela again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet care!”

Cesar came through for me on a last minute request. I was able to meet him and have Sammy visit the home a day or two before, which was very nice. Cesar’s yard is large and fenced off, which is perfect for a wandering Beagle. Sammy appeared to get along with Cesar’s dog, and that is an added bonus because Sammy loves to be with other dogs. I received updates with photos throughout the weekend and I was able to relax and have a good time knowing that Sammy was in good hands and well taken care of. Sammy is elderly and needs a little extra attention like doggy diapers while in the house and sometimes wanting to go out to out to pee in the middle of the night. Cesar was very nice to assure me that he understood Sammy’s needs and could handle Sammy with NO problem. I appreciate that Cesar was very welcoming, and willing to accommodate my last minute request. I will absolutely consider Cesar again in the future if I need boarding for Sammy. THANK YOU CESAR!
Jodie was amazing. Our cat Millie had an awesome time with her. Millie is a shy kitty and takes her time to settle in with someone new. But once she is comfortable with you, the biscuit factory and purring factory gets going and that is what happened with Millie under Jodie’s care. Jodie kept us updated on what was going on with Millie at all times. We would highly recommend Jodie for anyone considering to board their Cat.
Alicia and Joseph did a great job taking care of our dog. They responded quickly to texts and we received daily updates/photos. They were careful to follow our care instructions. I feel lucky that we found them and wouldn't hesitate to use them again next time we need a sitter.
Beyza took wonderful care of our 11-year-old kitty, Rosie, while my husband and I were away on bereavement leave. She regularly sent photos, videos, and thoughtful updates about how Rosie was doing, including sweet moments of her exploring and getting comfortable in her home. I also loved that Beyza had a couple of other sweet kitties for Rosie to get to know and socialize with. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Rosie was in a loving, caring environment while we were away. I’m so grateful for the care and attention Beyza gave Rosie! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again!

There are 7,576 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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
