“Idalis and her family took amazing care of my baby Penny. It was my first time leaving her with someone “unknown” and Idalis made everything feel so comfortable by setting up a meet up before and showing us all she has to offer to take care of our beloved girl. Her house and backyard are amazing, Penny was able to socialize with other dogs and she kept sending me pictures of everything they were doing while she had Penny. Overall, I’d recommend Idalis and her family to take care of your dog and would definitely be using her services again when needed! Thank you Idalis and Alex.”

“Connor was fantastic with Grace so much so she’s knocked out. He treated her as if she was his, he sent lots of photos and made me feel very comfortable leaving her with him. We will be returning.”


“Jennifer was great at letting the dogs warm up to her on their time. She kept us up to date our whole trip on how they were doing with our daily pupdates and pictures! Even when they got a little tummy trouble. She made our first time boarding outside our home a great experience”


“This was the first time we left our dog with a sitter and Kayla made the experience extremely pleasant. Kayla has an awesome personality, communicates well, and is very responsive. We previously used a dog hotel when we went on vacation, but upon our return I noticed our dog very sad and it would take him a few hours to go back to his old self. He’s a rescued dog, so it may be that the environment with other dogs brought back memories. However, when we picked up our dog from Kayla’s he didn’t have that quiet/sad period. It seems like he had a great time and felt right at home. Kayla sent pictures/videos daily, so we could see him.”

“They offer a great service. Lindsey kept me informed with pictures, texts and videos of my precious babies. My fur babies returned to me with clean faces and surprisingly calm. They are usually very nervous away from home, but Lindsey's home must have been rather soothing. I prefer this service over large commercial boarding. It was very personalized. Thank you guys. I'll see you again on my next trip!”


“Boarding Tucker with Chen was a delight. She kept me informed with plenty of photos and messages about how he was doing and I was assured that he was safe and loved while he was with her.”

“Andrew and his family were amazing boarders for my 2 young, rambunctious dogs. Booking and communication were simple and easy. Drop and pick-up easy. Andrew was accommodation and always ready for the exchange. His home is safe and spacious. His yard is amazing, grassy and of course, fenced. Pictures of their antics we so reassuring. I could not be happier that we found Andrew for my fur babies. Highly recommend.”

“Margarita was great! We will definitely be using her again! She was always super quick to respond whenever we checked in and sent multiple updates with pictures so we were always at ease. We had a personal emergency come up before leaving town and she was so flexible and easy to work with through the whole situation. We would 100% recommend her for all of your dog watching needs!”

“Mara and Marco are the best ! Our girl cora had the best time and was so well taken care of . Their home has a spacious backyard for lots of play time and lizard chasing for our girl ! So glad to have found them And will continue to use them any time we need someone to watch Cora”

About: I have lifelong experience with dogs combined with my background as a registered nurse. I've had dogs all my life, so I understand their needs at every stage, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who may require extra patience and care. I'm comfortable administering medications and following any special care instructions to keep your pet healthy and happy. Since I work from home, your dog will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day, giving you peace of mind while you're away. I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where pets are treated like family. My home features a large fenced backyard for play and exercise, along with two friendly, well socialized dogs who enjoy the company of other pets. This is a crate free home to allow dogs to relax and feel at home; however, I am happy to crate your dog if requested or if it is part of their normal routine. I follow each pet's regular feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special care instructions to help them feel comfortable and maintain consistency while you're away.

“Lena was such a pleasure. She treated Corvo with such care and love. I was very nervous since this was his first time being away from me but I immediately felt better seeing pictures and video of him while I was away. I would recommend Lena and would book her again!”

“Monica was so incredibly sweet and caring with our boy Dante. She gave lots you updates and he had a great time! I highly recommend her, I couldn’t have trusted anyone else with my boy as much as I did her. He missed her! I can tell 🫶🏾❣️”


“Another great experience for my fur baby. He really enjoys time with Sarah and her family. I can enjoy my vacation and not worry because he’s in great hands and she keeps in touch with photos. I highly recommend.”

“5/5 Stars! Kallee was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Koda. They were incredibly reliable, sent great updates, and we came home to a very happy, relaxed pup. We will definitely be booking them again!”

“Excellent dog sitter. We had no worries she gave updates and treated our dog like family. She is a true dog lover and our pet felt comfortable which put our minds at ease during our vacation.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by cats and dogs my entire life, and I can’t imagine a home without them. Your fur babies will be treated like my own – with Love, Patience, and Plenty of Attention. I had the flexibility to accommodate the individual needs of each pet in my care, ensuring their routines and well-being remain a priority. I’m currently not caring for pets in my home. But, I’m happy to make adjustments when necessary to provide consistent and attentive care that works for everyone. Keeping pets comfortable, and in their normal routine is important to me. I will follow their usual schedule, talk to them throughout my visit, give plenty of love, and provide reassurance. When appropriate, I may leave calming music after I leave.
“Alia was wonderful with our kitten for the 2 days we were away on a quick family getaway and was very responsive when I checked in! She even sent us pictures to ebsure he was comfortable. My family felt that our kitten was in great hands with Alia and I will definitely come back to her again if I need a sitter in the future 😊”


“This was our first time boarding our pet. We were kept informed at all times and it was clear that Lucas was having a great time and most importantly, cared for with love. Happy we found genuine, caring people.”


About: Hi! My name is Alyssa. I am a lifelong dog owner and former dog foster parent. I have experience caring for dogs of all natures - senior dogs, reactive dogs, and administering medications. I know the anxiety that comes with leaving your fur baby. Leave that worry at the door when your pet stays in my home! I will love and care for you let as if they are our own! My work allows me to be home all day, allowing me to provide personalized care and attention, never miss medication doses, and plenty of cuddles! My husband also works remotely two days a week. Although he will not be responsible for care, he shares my love and compassion for dogs and will love your pet like his own too! We own a 5 year old, 80lb Catahoula Leopard Dog Mix named Duke. He is neutered, well-trained (he talks with buttons!), very socialized, and adapts well to visiting dogs. He will lie down when playing with smaller dogs and respects boundaries when playtime is over. My home is currently child-free, creating a quiet environment with a perfectly sized, fenced in backyard. My home and yard provide a variety of enrichment and separate spaces for dogs who prefer their own area. I look forward to welcoming and caring for your pet in our home! I am incredibly grateful to be able to be fully remote 7 days a week. My husband works remotely two days a week, in office 3 days. My dog and I love spending time outdoors, either playing out in the yard or relaxing in our screened in porch! When my husband gets home from work we like to take family walks around our quiet, safe community. I provide a safe, calm, and structured environment where every dog can feel comfortable and secure. My home is child-free with minimal clutter for dogs to get into. We have a full fenced backyard with no neighboring dogs, for supervised outdoor playtime. I am home throughout the day, allowing me to closely monitor pets, maintain routines to elevate stress, administer medication, and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and love. We have crate trained my dog and can give him crate time to provide separate spaces and help all dogs feel comfortable. My dog may be big but he is incredibly intelligent and empathetic. He has been noted to comfort and welcome new dogs at his day care. He is impressive with understanding boundaries and can either give your dog space or be your dog’s new BFF (best furry friend!)! I
“Charli has been taking care of our dog Jack since 2019, and he always has the best time. She has always gone above and beyond, for example: taking him on walks, bringing him along on outings like trips to Renninger’s, and making sure he feels comfortable and loved while we’re away. Now that Jack is a 15 year old senior, it means even more to us to have someone we trust completely. Charli took exceptional care of him during our most recent mini-vacation, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares for him. We can tell Jack is happy and relaxed in her care, and she treats him like part of her own family. She even gives him a bath when on longer stays. We highly recommend Charli to anyone looking for care for their loved ones!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ferndale
Melanie was the best! She provided updates without us even asking and our corgi, Royce, felt pretty comfortable with her at the initial meet & greet - which was a good sign since he’s always timid of new people. Her place is very clean, cozy and her backyard provided the perfect place for him to let out energy and play fetch. Melanie is our go-to sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ferndale home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Ferndale.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Ferndale sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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 FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
