“It was such a relief to have a sitter who gave us updates and we could tell when he was there. Much better then having a friend of my husbands doing it. I could tell by the updates my old gal really grew to be comfortable with Andrew🐶. When I got home too she wasn't overly obsessed and attached like she usually is, this tells me she got the attention she needed!! Would definitely use again 😁”
“Wonderful experience w Lilly watching our kitties while we were away. Our one skittish cat came out each day and was very friendly with her!!! She brought packages in the house too:) Excellent communication, punctual and sent pics each day🐱 Lilly made going away so easy with peace of mind knowing they were cared or so well‼️”
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.
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.
“Both pups were taken care of by Alexandria very well. It was nice to see the pictures and get updates while we were away. I forgot my password so was not able to get in to see them all but saw the ones in the email. Thanks for the excellent care, Jan Hearn”
“Niki is the BEST as always, going above and beyond and leaving the best pics and reports for me so I know my kitty is in the absolute best care. I would trust Niki with any pet and home - she’s your girl!”
“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!”
“Jennifer is fantastic! She is so good with my Rigatoni from the first day I got her up until now. She responds quickly, always is prompt to check in on her, and really gives me peace of mind when going to work that my senior gal will be checked on and cared for during the day.”
“Bethany and Jeff took care of my dog, bunny and cockatiel for more than 20 days when we left for summer vacation. Always showing love with the pets, providing photos and what they did every drop in visit. I recommend a lot of times to all Rovers.”
“Elida was amazing with our Striker. We had a wonderful experience! Elida took such great care of Striker. We got regular updates and photos, and our pet was happy and relaxed when we got home. Highly recommend!””
“Excellent communication with Chella before and after the visit. Arrived when requested and stayed the amount of time I had requested. She sent a couple pictures, and when I contacted her about the visit, she was quick to reply with an update. I appreciate when someone is reliable and can be counted on to take care of my babies when I am unable to be there, and Chella was all of that.”

About: I have taken care of not only my dogs but I have also been relied on to take dogs out during the day, feed and walk them by friends and coworkers! I have been an animal lover from a young age and am open to take care of any animal! When your animal is in my care I will make sure that that animal is safe at all times, I am experienced with all types of leashes and harnesses and I will ensure that your pets safety is number one. I am currently working full time, but I am free after work and on the weekends, for me it is a priority to take care of an animal.

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.

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.

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.
