“Thank you so much for taking such great care of my boys, Zion and Zeus! 🥹❤️ They look so happy and well loved in every picture. It truly warmed my heart seeing them enjoying themselves. Shana did such an amazing job looking after my babies, and I’m so grateful for the love, care, and attention she gave them. Thank you again for taking care of my boys and giving me peace of mind while I was away. It means more than you know! 🐾💕”
“Andrew does a great job making Buster happy. Buster greets him with a smile and automatically turns to get his butt rubs!! Thank you for once again caring for Buster!!”
“Alexandria met with me a week before my vacation to get acquainted with my dog. I gave her instructions on how to care for him and she stayed in good communication with me. She sent me a picture of him everyday and let me know how he was doing during my vacation. Returning home everything looked great and he was a happy dog. Highly Recommend Alexandria”
About: I have taken care of not only my dogs but I have also been relied on to take dogs out during the day, feed and walk them by friends and coworkers! I have been an animal lover from a young age and am open to take care of any animal! When your animal is in my care I will make sure that that animal is safe at all times, I am experienced with all types of leashes and harnesses and I will ensure that your pets safety is number one. I am currently working full time, but I am free after work and on the weekends, for me it is a priority to take care of your pets to the best of my ability, I am free Monday - Friday 5pm and on Saturday and Sunday any time I am not currently offering in home and client home care. I am working on eventually being able to provide these services down the road.
“Emily was so kind and attentive to my cat. She made sure she was well taken care of and recieved plentt of pets! I loved all the cute photos she sent me. I would feel confident leaving my cat in her care in the future. I highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs!! THANK YOU EMILY!!!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Stormy and Baker receive. Michael is reliable, caring, and treats them like family. It gives us peace of mind knowing they are in such good hands. Stormy and Baker always come home happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Jenn was wonderful with my cat, Oakley, who was sick at the time. While his care needs were simple (feeding, checking the automated litter box, and monitoring for any sickness), I truly appreciated the level of attention and compassion she showed. Many sitters would consider this an “easy” job, but Jenn still honored the full 30 minutes of each visit—keeping Oakley company, which I was able to see both in her updates and through my Ring camera. She also went above and beyond when Oakley got sick on the carpet. Instead of just grabbing whatever was available, she reached out to ask what cleaning products were best to use—showing that she cared about both my cat and my home. Another thoughtful touch was that she offered to do a preliminary meet-and-greet ahead of time to walk through the care plan. I chose to coordinate via text instead, but I really appreciated that she made the option available—it showed how much she values communication and trust. Jenn is personable, reliable, and truly cares. I felt completely at ease leaving Oakley in her care, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who goes the extra mile.”
About: I am currently a volunteer at the local animal shelter called The Animal League. I clean, walk, and play with dogs of all ages and sizes. I work for free at the shelter because of love being able to help dogs in my community. Most of the money from here will be given back as a donation to the shelter! Some will be used for my gas to get your buddy! I work as a medical assistant from 8-5:30 Monday to Thursday. On Fridays I’m off at 12:0. I go to the animal shelter for about 2 hours in the afternoons after work but I between this I can come walk your dog! I don’t have any pets currently I’ve only owned small pets myself. However my experience comes from the animal shelter. I’ve learned how to gain the trust of anxious dogs. How to walk sicker dogs with heart worms. And how to do basic training with puppies including socialization, desensitization (important if they may be around kids), how to walk on a leash, basic tricks.
“First time using Taylor and we are very happy with her communication and how she treated our cat-Koko. We will definitely book her again during our upcoming trips. Thanks!”
“Tracy did an excellent job caring for my achnauzers. She was attentive, responsible, and went above and beyond by keeping the crate area clean and organized after every visit. I truly appreciated her professionalism, communication, and the care she showed to my pets and my home. I would absolutely recommend Tracy to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ferndale is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $21 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 5,103 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ferndale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ferndale. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
