Pet Sitting in Herndon

“Jenn did a great job caring for our cats while we were away! She always kept us updated on how they were doing. We are looking forward to using her again!”

About: Since I was little, dogs have always been part of my life. They’ve been with me through moves, college years, and even rescue adventures—and one very good girl even played matchmaker and helped me meet my husband. I know how hard it can be to be away from your pet, and how much anxiety it can cause for both dogs and their humans. That’s why I love sending frequent photo and video updates, so you always know your pup is happy, safe, and having a great time. I care for every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while their family is away. I’m a teacher, so I’m home early on weekdays and fully available on weekends. There is always someone at home, which means your dog will never be left alone for long periods. I also have very active kids (teenager) who love pets and happily provide extra snuggles and attention to the dogs we babysit. I’m a runner and know many great, safe trails around Reston and Herndon, perfect for walks and exercise. We also live near the Town Center, so there are plenty of fun, dog-friendly places for your pup to explore. Your dog will get a great mix of activity, companionship, and love while staying with us. I’m very active and physically strong, which allows me to safely walk and handle dogs of different sizes in our area. We have access to many beautiful trails nearby, perfect for safe and enriching walks. By default, we take dogs on three walks per day, but if your dog needs more frequent potty breaks or extra exercise, we’re more than happy to accommodate their routine. My husband is also home and helps with walks and care, so your dog will always have multiple attentive adults making sure they’re safe, loved, and well cared for. I live in an apartment surrounded by green spaces in a very pet-friendly neighborhood. Inside our home, there’s a cozy bed by a window with lots of activity—my dog Layla’s favorite spot to keep an eye on the neighborhood—and many dogs enjoy relaxing there too. Your dog will be in a calm, secure, and loving environment where they can truly feel at home.

“I seriously cannot imagine anyone who does a better job. She is professional, cheery, accommodating, and very sweet to my kitty cats. Not only did she clean the litter box each visit, but she also vacuumed, and gave my cats a lot of attention. I will definitely be working with her again.”

“Claire was great with our dogs. Punctual, caring, and a great communicator. Will book her again.”

Ken R.

“Leanna's communication was excellent, she kept us up-to-date with pictures and comments. Wonderful reliable loving service. My Sheepadoodle was well taken care of.”

Dan F.

“Manasa was thorough, communicative, and the dogs loved her. She took lots of adorable photos and played with them really well. Thank you Manasa!”

“Our pet Buddy takes time to meet new people. But when Buddy met Carl for the first time, he sniffed Carl and instantly connected with him and enjoyed Carl’s company. The next time we are in need of a pet sitter, we will definitely call Carl again.”

Sudha M.

“LaurieBeth did an amazing job with my two 20-pound dogs. Her care was only exceeded by her communication through Rover. I was incredibly lucky to find a caregiver like LaurieBeth on short notice. I was able to relax and enjoy a last-minute trip. I did not worry about my pups once. They were in great hands. I would hire LaurieBeth and plan to!”

Bryan B.

“Leslie is lovely and my doggo loves her!”

Camilla M.

“Maeghan was fantastic! I’m always nervous having someone new watch our animals but she was very flexible, communicative and attentive. We will definitely have her back to take care of our pets ☺️”

Emily C.

“Laura was great with my two cats! One of my boys needs meds twice a day, and she administered everything perfectly. She was sweet and kind and even gave them a special treat on the last day. Highly recommend and will be calling on Laura again next time we travel!”

Allison M.

“Kayleigh was extremely communicative which gave me piece of mind while traveling. Ralph took extremely well to her. She even got him a Christmas present. 10/10.”

Hannah A.

“Keara loves animals and they love her! She took amazing care of my three cats, including my elderly kitty who requires daily insulin and medication. Keara was gentle, patient, and attentive, ensuring all of my pets were comfortable and well cared for. It was clear from the start that she has a natural connection with animals—my cats absolutely loved her! She kept me updated throughout her visits, giving me peace of mind while I was away. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for your pets, Keara is the one!”

Christina T.

“Shauna is great! She’s been really helpful in integrating our puppy into our home and getting him on a schedule. She’s wonderful with Ducky, our 4 1/2 month old handful. She’s punctual, communicative, and specifically works on the things Ducky needs help with. Highly recommend!!!”

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life, and dog-sat and cared for many different dogs over the years. I will treat your pup like family. They will feel secure and safe and get a lot of attention and affection. I work from home full time and have a very flexible schedule between 8-5. In addition to a great walk, your fur-baby gets cuddles, play time, and loads of love. Your dog will never be left unattended or alone in a yard. In my house, your dog can sleep in the bed if they like (and you OK it). My own dog is a 9 year old trained therapy dog. She is calm, sweet, and gets along with all dogs both big and small, chill or playful. She'll be happy to share her home. I use positive reinforcement only.

“Amazing as always! Took such great care of our pets and had superb attention to detail. Thank you so much for having my baby boys again”

Serene G.

“Absolutely wonderful pet carer! This was the longest we have left our Siamese for a vacation and she was not only got to need food and water but some companionship as well. Carey was just that! She sent me regular updates and even scooped the litter which she didn't have to do. I even got some great photos that I am trying to download because they are so cute! Definitely securing her for the next time away!”

Hilary S.

“Heather is awesome! She takes good care of my 3 kitties while I'm gone and sends pictures that I love. Cheeto, Diesel and California don't like strangers so the fact that she is able to get 2 out of the 3 to interact with her is awesome. Even if it's just coming out long enough for her to get pics. This is the second time I've used her and not disappointed”

Corine G.

“Nicole was attentive and energetic with our very very love-driven cat! She clearly is a cat-lover like us and took such good care of Bess. We will absolutely be choosing her again for the future!”
