“Entei had such an amazing time! Viviana and her husband are very friendly! They showed me around their home so I knew the environment my baby would be staying in. They made me feel very comfortable and safe knowing my dog is in good hands! They sent lots of pics of his stay and kept me update to date during his stay! My dog is very energetic and they were okay with it as well. A bonus was my dog slept like a baby when I brought him home! Thank you so much for having him again! Can’t wait to bring him again soon! ❤️”
“I just wanted to say how much I appreciate everything. Seriously, when it comes to the practical stuff, I never have a single worry; everything always feels super secure and well-managed. And honestly, the Idalis team , they’re just the absolute best! I have such immense trust in them, and they always make everything so pleasant and easygoing. Plus, my dog absolutely *adores* coming over. He always has the most fantastic time playing with all the other pups – he practically begs to go 😄. It's such a wonderful spot for him (and for me, too!).”
“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!”
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
“Helene was incredible! My partner and I decided to spend a few weeks near Orlando and brought our pup Cedric along for the ride. We wanted to go to Universal Studios for a day so needed a dog sitter. Helene met with us for a meet and greet a few days before our boarding so that we were all very comfortable and Cedric would be okay spending time at her house. On the day Helene was fantastic. She sent us photo updates and let us know he was eating his meals. Gave us some peace of mind during our trip. Cannot recommend Helene highly enough.”
“Jen was a great dog-sitter! Our dog was excited to explore her home, which seemed very dog-friendly, and there was a great long road to take walks on. Jen sent us updates, pictures, and was overall an easy-going and conscientious person! She asked us how we wanted our dog to be treated, what rules we have at home, what he can and can't play with, etc. She seemed to be really confident around dogs, and our dog liked her immediately.”
“Great experience! Elisabeth is terrific with Henry, my 2 yr old miniature poodle mix. Henry is timid and not used to being away from me at home. He did exceptionally well with Elisabeth. She sent pictures and videos so we could see how he was doing. He was playing and was 100% happy when I picked him up. Her house is very clean and there’s a lovely fenced yard. I will definitely use Elisabeth for our upcoming trips!”
“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!”
“Julie is simply amazing! Loving, caring, understanding and very long experience with dogs and also served in the military for a long time!! She’s also backed by a supportive husband and lovely family. Having her watch your dog is simply a breeze and a priceless peace of mind.. Thank you Julie and Kevin for what you do and also for your service 🫡!!”
“Estephanie is the best. Her, her husband and her children are all great with our dog. Our dog loves going there. Her dog is also a sweetheart and my dog has fun with him. You won't go wrong with this sitter..”
“Home away from home! Jolie was the happiest pup, Poliana was attentive, communicative and also provided great at home tips! 5 out 5 stars will book again with Poliana!!”

“Daisy recently had a very bad experience at a local franchised daycare. I wanted to find a more loving environment and smaller play group for her. I am so relieved to have found Rebecca. She is sweet, gentle, and made sure Daisy settled comfortably into a new space with her new friends. She updated me during the visit, and I'm confident Daisy will love days with Rebecca.”
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. I have a pet friendly home and a fenced yard. I don't currently have any pets of my own at this time. Unfortunately my fur baby crossed not long ago. He is missed dearly and I look forward to having some in my home
“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.”
“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.”

I recently graduated ABC as a dog trainer. ABCDT, CPR certified. I am also available to day train. I am available for play dates/dog walking 7 days a week. My two dogs spend time inside and outside in my fenced in yard and look forward to playing with your dog! My main passion has always been dogs. I have a fenced yard. I can easily crate my older dog If needed...my puppy gets along with everyone. Walk, feed, play, medication(s) if needed. My older dog is on heart medication.
“Norman’s still a puppy, so this isn’t an easy job, but she was fantastic. Super flexible with timing, quick and easy to communicate with, and totally reliable, so I didn’t have to sweat the details. She kept me posted with lots of updates and photos, her whole family was kind and welcoming, and Norman had such a great time. I felt completely at ease leaving him with her, and I’m so grateful for the care she gave.”

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 2,047 sitters in Ferndale, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.

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.
