“Super duper sweet and friendly! Provided great updates on my animals and cute pictures! So glad I could find someone to trust with my babies while I’m out of town”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of my boys, Zion and Zeus! 🥹❤️ They look so happy and well loved in every picture. It truly warmed my heart seeing them enjoying themselves. Shana did such an amazing job looking after my babies, and I’m so grateful for the love, care, and attention she gave them. Thank you again for taking care of my boys and giving me peace of mind while I was away. It means more than you know! 🐾💕”
“Karen always provides excellent service. We can always count on her and never have any worries when our kitty Elsa is in her care. She really cares and goes above and beyond!”
“This review is a tad late but I wanted to ensure others obtain genuine feedback from a very satisfied client. Alexandria & Dan were wonderful to work with! Over Thanksgiving week I booked a last minute reservation for them to care for my cats. They did a great job at communicating & sending pictures. Since the liter/food/water trays are all automated Dan just felt like he needed to do something for the time he spent with them, other than simply cuddle ? I was able to ship some toys to my house & he unboxed them and tried a variety of them. I felt comfortable having him my home & looking after my babies. I look forward to booking with them again!”
“Niki was awesome! I appreciated that she brought her husband to the meet and greet so my cats would be familiar in case he needed to sub in :) My cats were big fans and even let her give one the medicine he needs for his ear without any issues, which was the biggest relief for me while away! Definitely recommend, great communication and pictures too!!”
“Jeff took great care of our elderly cat Santana, and Santana seemed to appreciate his pets and attention. Good communication and definitely good at listening to the pet.”
“She does a great job of checking in on our 3 cats! It brings us a lot of comfort when we are out of town to know they are well taken care of. She is extremely reliable and communicative. She is flexible and was able to adjust whenever our one cat needed medicine.”
About: My hands-on experience comes from caring for my own three cats, each with a different age, personality, and routine. I have experience with senior cats, shy cats, food sensitivities, automatic litter boxes, microchip feeders, and detailed feeding instructions. I pay close attention to changes in appetite, behavior, and litter box habits. I understand that every cat has different boundaries, so I am patient and allow them to interact at their own pace. Although I am new to professional pet sitting, I am responsible, organized, and committed to following each pet parent’s instructions carefully. I will provide thoughtful care, photos, and detailed updates during every visit. I have a flexible schedule and can provide drop-in visits on weekdays and weekends. I keep my Rover availability updated and only accept bookings when I can give each pet the time, attention, and care they need. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home and carefully follow all feeding, water, bathroom, and safety instructions. I respect each pet’s personality and give shy or nervous pets time and space to feel comfortable. During every visit, I pay attention to their appetite, behavior, and bathroom habits. If I notice anything unusual, I will contact the pet parent immediately and follow their emergency instructions.
“Ashley was amazing with our pups!! One of our dogs is very shy and Ashley was extremely patient, friendly and kind with him, which made us feel very happy and comfortable during our quick trip. Highly suggest & will use again!”
“Alli was absolutely wonderful for my two cats! She had them well taken care of while I was gone making vacation time much more relaxing knowing they were in good hands! I will absolutely use her again and would recommend booking with Alli if you ever need a sitter!!”
“This was our first time leaving our baby girl Ela ( 2.5 yr old kitty) and having Jennifer being there to take care of her made it a little easier. Jennifer was amazing, her communication was spectacular, she really went above and beyond to make us feel at ease with missing our baby. She was sweet, caring and very loving towards our baby. I wrote out a book of directions (LOL) and she followed them exactly. Jennifer, Thank you so much for caring for our little Ela ❤️ We will definitely reach out again in the future.”
“Tracy did an excellent job caring for my achnauzers. She was attentive, responsible, and went above and beyond by keeping the crate area clean and organized after every visit. I truly appreciated her professionalism, communication, and the care she showed to my pets and my home. I would absolutely recommend Tracy to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.”
“Kiara visited my cats while I was away. She did a wonderful job. Kept me updated and really took good care of my kitties. I’m so grateful I found her on Rover. Truly kind animal loving person.”
“This was my first time using Rover and it was a wonderful experience. I needed someone last minute and Julie came to save the day. I came home to a happy cat, everything was clean and spotless……which allowed me to spend ample playtime with my boy. I will definitely use her again very soon. I Highly Recommend Julie as the “Go To” person.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats most of my life, I own 2 dogs and 5 cats of my own! The rest of my family owns pets of all kinds, so I’ve grown up around all types of animals. I’ve spent a lot of time helping out friends and family when they need someone to watch their pets, I’m always a go to for them! I’m always willing to do whatever is needed of me when it comes to helping out with animals. I have experience with dogs and cats all the way from puppy to end of life moments. I’m currently unemployed, so my schedule is very flexible for all of your pet needs. I’m available most days of the week, weekends and nights. I am extremely careful when it comes to watching animals, I know that an animal is a precious member of any family and I will do all I can to keep your pets safe and happy while feeling loved. I never bring pets into my own home because I am very cautious about how my cats and dogs will react. When I enter other people's homes, I try to work with the owner first to make sure their pet is comfortable with me before leaving. I treat all pets as if they are my own, so rest assured that your pet will be just as spoiled as mine for the times I am with them! I follow ALL instructions given to me by pet parents, and check in anytime I have questions.

Alexis was extremely clean taking care of all my furbabys’ needs. This was my young cat’s first time alone since we lost her older playmate. I’m so happy my cat has a new friend in Alexis that’s she loved ‘talking’ to and about now. Looking forward to seeing her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Ferndale on Rover is $15.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 2,293 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ferndale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 cat, 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.

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.
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.
