“Marliez took amazing care of Ozzie. He walked with her Husky Wolf several times a day receiving plenty of needed exercise. Oz was received as part of her family.

“My doggies love going to Robin’s house! She takes incredible care of my two dogs and she made the entire experience stress-free. Not only was she and her family kind and attentive, but they were also incredibly flexible—willing to take my dogs at the last minute when I needed help. It was clear from the start that my dogs felt comfortable and well cared for, and I appreciated the updates and communication throughout their stay. Knowing they were in such good hands gave my family peace of mind. If you’re looking for a reliable, compassionate, and accommodating dog boarder, I highly recommend Robin. I will definitely be using her services again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ferndale
Jasmine was more than accommodating with my dog Yumi and was extremely flexible. I had a 5 hour delay on my return flight and Jasmine remained professional and attentive to my dog Yumi and accommodated my unfortunate circumstances. If you’re looking for a responsible dog sitter whose also flexible look no further than Jasmine.
Elizabeth was wonderful with our pups Penny and Reggie, and she was great with communicating to us how their days went and how they were settling in, etc. She also sent tons of pictures and you can tell from the pictures that the puppers were having the times of their little lives! We’ll definitely be repeat visitors!!
Liz and Jeffrey were AMAZING! I cannot say enough wonderful things about them and the way they took care of our fur baby! He was treated like a prince: treats, car rides, time for zoomies, play dates with other dogs and sleeping on the sofa. I was worried he would not want to come home with us after the 3.5 days he was with them. We received videos, pictures and updates every single day. I trusted them and felt like I could relax on my vacation and not worry about the dog. They were so kind and hospitable to our family for drop off and pick up as well. They are wonderful humans who take magnificent care of canines!
Brinda and her husband were excellent with Gabby. Gabby is a senior with a heart ❤️ condition and I had no worries at all. Gabby received her medication. She had lots of love. I received so many great pictures of Gabby enjoying herself. I was afraid she may not want to come home!!! I am definitely going to rebook with Brinda
Kathryn was awesome! She took such good care of our dog, Bear. She sent pictures and it reassured us while we were away! Drop off and pick up was convenient and easy. Bear felt right at home quickly because of Kathryn’s ease and attention. I would definitely book Kathryn to watch our dog again!

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.
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.
94% of sitters in Ferndale can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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, we recommend 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.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ferndale. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 MD 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
