“I booked Reakha very last minute. Reakha was very flexible and worked with my needs. I initially booked her for 2 nights but my dog seemed very happy and got along with her dogs so I extended the stay for 2 more nights. I definitely did not bring enough food for my dog, but Reakha took care of her like her own dog. My dog didn’t want to come home after the stay! I’m very satisfied and highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Michael was fantastic! He followed all instructions for Peanut perfectly, especially regarding feeding and routine. Peanut was happy and relaxed when he got home, which made me happy. I would highly recommended Michael and will book again!"”

“Our first time with Linda was a wonderful experience. Our boy Noah loved being with her, and she was excellent to work with. We would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“WE. LOVE. ROSALI!!! Rosali was so kind to take care of our little Gerdie- and she worked us in, quite last minute. Gerdie is a really sensitive little rescue dog- she was badly abused before we adopted her and Rosali was so so careful and patient in letting Gerdie learn to trust her. We were on our first camping trip in our camper, and we spent a lot of time with Gerdie in the camper in the weeks before we left to get her acclamated, but she had terrible separation anxiety anytime we tried to leave, even just for a few minutes. We knew we needed to find her someone to love her while we were at Disney. Rosali welcomed us so warmly and introduced us to her sweet puppy girls and let Gerdie explore and get to know her house while we were there. She asked lots of good questions about Gerdie, and showed us the wonderful homemade, REAL food doggie food she makes for her pups and her guests, checking to make sure if it was ok. She sent pictures throughout Gerdie's visit and sent great updates. She was SO loving and patient! She creates a really playful and joyful atmosphere... Expect your pup to come home happy and tired from the good walks and playtime. Gerdie made lots of new puppy friends- Getting video or picture updates of her playing with her new friends was a real treat!! I can't recommend Rosali highly enough. She is truly a beautiful person and a joy to have met!!! I'm just sad we aren't local, I'd surely be a regular!”
“Anastasia did an excellent job taking care of our dogs. She went above and beyond to make sure our dogs ate and went on long walks which make them happy. Highly recommend Anastasia!!!”
“Cheri is AWESOME!!! Our flight was delayed and we didn’t get out of the airport until after midnight. She gladly allowed Reese to stay over another night and we were able to pick him up in the morning. I would give her 100 🌟if I could. We are so thankful that God has blessed us to have her in our lives. Reese loves her.”
“Jonathon & Aimee Such a beautiful experience letting our baby on your hands, we are very lucky to find you and be able to be away from him having the peace of mind of knowing he was totally fine. You guys were awesome from the day we contacted you, you were always available for us and keep us updated about Brownie the whole time, we know how comfortable he felt the whole time with you. We loved how attentive, caring, reliable and loving you were throughout this weekend! We really appreciate it. Thank you also for taking the time to send all those cute pics and send brownie home with a goody bag to keep having fun. WHOEVER IS OUT THERE LOOKING FOR A HOME AWAY FROM HOME FOR YOUR BABIES. JONATHON AND AIMEE ARE THE ONES. Thank you guys!🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼”
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.
