“Idalis is a great hostess for our dog Daisy. She is a cream lab and Idalis’s pet golden Logan was a great playmate for her. She spent 5 days there for doggie day care. The first day she was scared when we dropped her off. But the next 4 days she was super happy as soon as she saw us picked up the leash. She was ready to go! She seemed to enjoy being out of the house for some playtime and walk, and when she comes home she is tired. I know she will miss Idalis and her whole family. When we go vacation we will definitely take daisy there for boarding.”
“My dog had a great day with Alexandria. He was comfortable from the beginning and received the care and attention he needed. She did an awesome job caring for Lucky. Not to mention the picture updates throughout the day (my favorite part of his stay). Alexandria was consistent with keeping me posted during his stay and he was happy!”
“A great experience. Our two darlings were calm, at ease, and adjusted so well due to the calm and welcoming atmosphere. A bonus was the large yard for them to explore and romp in. The friendly welcome Heather exhibited grounded the fact we made the right connection for our dogs. Already for another visit.”
“So happy I found Jennifer & Mitchell and so is my pup! She comes home happy and exhausted after getting a day of play with her friends. Communication is so easy and they are so helpful!”
“We would highly recommend Helene to any one. She was so caring and loving to our 15 year old Havanese. Has a very clean home, let’s your pet roam free. Has a great fenced in yard to do their business. She was wonderful. Cora and Denny”
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

About: I grew up with and have taken care of dogs my entire life. I’ve always had an a soft spot for dogs and think they deserve all the love and attention in the world! I treat my dog like he’s my child - and would treat yours the same! I am home full-time and have a fenced backyard for the dogs to run around and play. I also love taking the dogs on walks through the neighborhood. The dogs would have free rein of the house and furniture - couches, beds, etc. I’m happy to accommodate any specific feeding instructions, medications, or overall care your dog needs. Safety is my top priority so I’ll make sure your dog is well cared for, feels comfortable, and ultimately has lots of fun!
“Brittany does such a great job with my pup! He loves going to her house for day care and boarding where he gets to run around with her 2 dogs. Brittany does well with sending me photos and letting me know how Kairo is throughout the day which eases my mom guilt when I have to leave him. Brittany is so kind and willing to help if you’re in a pinch! I would recommend her for sure!”
“I could tell Candie knows how to handle dogs. I just wish I had thought to ask ahead of time how many dogs she would have the day I took mine. Mine is a little bit too submissive to a big pack and she was a bit stressed at the end of the day. Not sure I understand why only one potty break for the 7 hours she was there with a fenced in yard in spite of the extreme heat. But overall I think Candie is a great dog sitter.”
“Maria had a great way with Onyx. It was his first time doing any daycare in his time with me, and I wasn’t sure how he’d feel about it. He did great! Onyx will be staying with Maria any time I need a sitter, and in fact I’ve already booked Maria for a family trip in July.”
About: I’ve walked and taken care of pets in my family, for friends and neighbors. They trust me and love the way I care for their animals as one of my own! 💕🐶 I am unavailable from 8am until 2:45pm Monday-Friday after that I am available for drop in/walks. I am available anytime after that. I do weekends as well just contact me to further discuss timing if interested. In my home I have a Jack Russel that stays and sleeps inside. He has a crate but we don’t usually use it because he’s well behaved.
“What a great experience! Dwain, Brenda and their sweet girls were so kind and loving towards Mya! They kept us up to date and sent fun pics while we were away! We truly appreciate them watching Mya on such short notice! Thanks again!!!!”
About: I have always had pets in my home. Life is complete with the 4 legged friends around and makes a home complete. Your fur babies will get unconditional love ❤️ I'm currently home and have all my time to spend with all the fur babies. They will get love and attention as long as they are with me.

He is missed dearly and I look forward to having some in my home
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. I have been around large dogs my entire life. I grew up around boxers, Dobermans and Labrador/pit bull mixes. I myself have had a pit bull/Labrador mix, a Dutch shepherd mix and cats. When I was younger I would pet sit for my neighbors from aquariums to bunnies, birds, chickens etc.. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I provide reliable, attentive pet sitting. My genuine love for animals means your pets receive not only expert care but plenty of affection and attention, too. I work from home and I make my own schedule so I have PLENTY of time to care and stay attentive to your furry friend. I will follow whatever schedule you give me for what your pet is used to. Keeping a consistent schedule is the key to a happy homie. I have lots of walking space in my neighborhood. I also am able to take your dog to a dog park if needed and I am very attentive. My neighborhood is dog friendly and safe. I am able to follow your instructions when I come into your space for how you’d like me to take care of your animals. Constant walks, lots of play time, keeping up with crate training, whatever you need.
“She’s absolutely amazing! It was my baby’s first time in day care and I was scared on how she was going to behave since she’s just a puppy. But Wannena was incredible! And the 2 doggies she have, played with my baby all the time so by the time we got home she went straight to sleep 😭😂”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Ferndale commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,064 sitters in Ferndale, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
