“This is the absolute best puppy sitter!!! I would not take my best friend anywhere else. This is his second home and is shown more love than he could ever want. Viv is the very best and your family member is safe with her. She should get 10 stars out of 5!!!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Idalis and her family! Such a kind and caring family. It was a first time when I was leaving my pup somewhere and they were sending me messages and photos. My pup was so happy to go back next day and didn’t want to leave when we came to pick him up. Thank you Idalis!”
“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!”
“Our girl Tilly had an amazing time with Heather and her family! Our pet sitter fell through the night before heading to Disney World and they were able to accommodate with barely any notice. They were so welcoming and sweet! They made us feel so secure about leaving our girl there and sent tons of photos. We will definitely be returning customers! ❤️❤️❤️”
“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.”
“Valeria did a wonderful job taking care of Arthur. I loved that she was thoughtful at introducing Arthur individually to her dogs not to overwhelm him. Valeria was good at sending updates and photo's of Arthur making new friends and playing. Arthur came home happy and exhausted. Highly recommend Valeria to take care of your pup.”
“Thank you for taking such good care of Texas Poliana. It was his first trip to a day care/pet sitter and you made Texas feel very comfortable and cared for. We are looking forward to using your service again in future. The pictures were also great. Thanks for sharing and happy holidays.”
“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!”

“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!!!!”
“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.”
“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 😭😂”
“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!”
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.
About: I've had the utter joy of dog sitting for over 10 years for friends, family, and word of mouth. Caring for dogs brings me much pleasure and I’m able to do so as I work from home. My work is very flexible and I’m able to go for walks on my breaks with your dog. I love dogs of every breed in particular. I have one Pomeranian fur-baby that is pretty shy and will probably want to just stay in her own space. You can rest assured that your fur baby will be comfortable and well loved in my home. I work from home full-time and have a very flexible work load that allows me to give attention to your fur-baby and take them on nice walks I have one small Pomeranian that stays to herself. I live in a quiet safe neighborhood and will take your dog for a nice walk if desired.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Ferndale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 2,067 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Ferndale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 2,067 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.
