Jolynn was a life saver when I injured my ankle and was suddenly unable to walk my very active pup. She was very responsive to my dog’s needs (and mine) and went above and beyond to provide my dog with fun adventures along with the exercise she needed. I will definitely book her again!

Megan was great with my dog Finn! She walked him longer than I expected, which was wonderful. She came on short notice and was very kind. I will absolutely use her again. I recommend you book her for your dog too.

I am willing to work around your schedule to meet your needs in a way that works the best for you. When house sitting, I will spend as much time at your home with your pet as I can, as well as taking care of any other obligations you need me too.

I have no problem giving your pets medicine or following special requests. When I am watching your pet, I make sure that they are comfortable and happy at all times. I follow the routine they are used to as outlined by their owners instructions, and make sure they have had their meals for the day, walks, and bedtime all according to plan.

I truly love caring for animals and their comfort, happiness, and safety is my biggest priority.

About: I truly believe that our pets deserve the best care that we can provide, and I know how stressful it can be to trust someone else to show the same level of love and attention for your furry family members as you do! Through pet sitting for the last 10 years, I’ve been able to care for a variety of pets and learn about each of their individual needs. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, and birds, and would love to meet your pets next! I have experience caring for young and old pets, and administering some types of medications (oral/topical, eyes/ears). I will provide enrichment activities and exercise for your pet while you’re away on a trip or just at work for a long day! I’m very comfortable around horses, and can provide feedings, stall cleanings, and exercise if desired. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to drop by for walks, playtimes, or feedings that best fit you and your pets schedule. I live locally in downtown Ferndale and have consistent transportation if you’re located farther out of town! I’m always respectful of my clients homes, their privacy and individual needs. I try to adhere to your pets normal routine. Whether it’s preparing their food *just* right, taking their favorite route on a walk, or playing their favorite game, your pet deserves the best care and attention while you’re away!

About: Experienced and flexible. Well reviewed! Happy to provide references. I volunteered at Thundering Paws Animal Sanctuary all through my High School years in Austin TX. There isn't much I can't handle but I'm also aware dogs can have different personalities and different needs. I'd love to cater to your pet specifically! I am 100% self employed, and a part time stay-at-home pet/ plant dad! I'd love to make time to care for your pets as well! Obviously your pets are top priority but please let me know what I can do to keep your home safe and sound as well :)

About: I've been looking after dogs since I was a kid. I've always had dogs, I've worked for vets and for pet supply stores, and one side of my family is littered with vets and farm type folks. I have a ton of experience with all sorts of animals, but I love dogs the most. Right now I'm not doing anything else that requires me to be anywhere at any particular time, so I am incredibly flexible as far as scheduling goes. I live in an apartment with my 35 pound wonder mutt named Puck, and we're not allowed to have any animal guests, but I am more than willing to come to your place and follow your rules. Puck can also be left with a sitter if his presence would be an issue. I follow your directions and I care for your pets and your home as instructed. I am a fairly fastidious person. I believe in returning your place and your pets to you in at least as good a condition as I find them.

I have most of my experience with cats and dogs. I treat them with love and respect always. Sometimes I sing to them and brighten their spirits. I have many references for housesitting and pet sitting. I enjoy caretaking and stewarding peoples homes. I also enjoy being a helper and lightning others’ loads. My family dog passed away one year ago and I love any opportunity to connect with more dogs. They bring me so much joy and happiness. I am very patient and positive. Easy to communicate with. I am currently self-employed, doing jobs like dogsitting, dog walking, doula support, meal prepping and personal chef work so my schedule is very flexible and I can cater to your needs. I am a very respectful guest in other’s homes. I love to leave places better than when I first arrived. I enjoy playing with pets with their favorite toys or throwing the ball in the backyard. I am very available and flexible with my schedule so that provides ample opportunity for potty breaks, walking, playing and overall catering to pets’ needs.

About: Dogs are more than pets, they are part of the family. I have always loved animals, and I will love yours just the same. Life can get busy!

About: Hello! My name is Imogen! I have lived in Humboldt for about a year now, and I’m excited to start caring for pets in our community. I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience caring for all kinds of pets, animals, and livestock. I’m comfortable with animals of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m responsible, patient, and detail-oriented, and I understand how important it is to feel comfortable trusting someone with your pets and your home. I’m also very clean and respectful of other people’s spaces. I’ll keep your pets’ areas clean, pick up after them, clean up any messes they make, and make sure your home is left tidy and cared for. I’m happy to follow your pets’ normal routines and instructions closely, and I’ll keep you updated so you can have peace of mind knowing how they’re doing. I also have extensive equine experience, including teaching riding lessons and summer camps and working as a working student at two different barns. I’m familiar with all aspects of large-animal care and can provide my résumé and professional equine references upon request. My schedule is very flexible, so I’m happy to work with your pets’ routines and needs! I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays, and I’m always happy to spend extra time playing and giving your pets attention. For longer stays, I’m also happy to water plants, bring in mail, and help keep things tidy around the home. I love giving pets more than just the basics! I’m happy to play, go on walks, and give them plenty of attention and enrichment. If you’re comfortable with it, I’d also love to take your dog on local adventures, whether that’s a walk through Sequoia Park or a trip to the beach. I’ll always follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine while making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 208 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ferndale. 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 your Ferndale. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Ferndale.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Ferndale. On Rover:

  • 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.

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 walker.
