“Stephanie was awesome. I needed someone to come walk my puppy, my regular dog walker couldn’t do it and Stephanie was happy to help. She took Willow for a 1/2 hr walk made sure she had water. She sent plenty of pictures was very easy to communicate with just an overall sweet person! I really liked her and will use her in the future! Highly recommend Stephanie!”
“I needed a last minute sitter and Tabitha came to the rescue. At first meeting her and Scout were fast friends. She did such a great job taking care of him. You can tell she truly takes pride and cares about the furry friends in her care. Thank you Tabitha! I appreciate you and would highly recommend!”
“Ryan was reliable and showed up on time and made an extra effort to get to know my dog and make my dog feel comfortable. I really appreciate Ryan walking Eli and will be booking him in the future!”
“Elizabeth is dependable and communicative, which is extremely important to me. She came when she said she would, left cards on Rover with details of Nya's walk, and was a pleasure to deal with. We will be booking with her again!”
“OMG!! Lanese was a last minute lifesaver before my trip! She was very thoughtful and accommodating towards the task of daily walks for Max. Lanese was always on time and made sure she thoroughly fulfilled the walk. Her daily communication while I was away gave me assurance. She is a 10/10 and I definitely recommend her for any one in need of her services! Will definitely call on again in the future! Thanks so much!!!”
“Shane & Brittany did a great job with walking and caring for my dog while I was away on a work trip. My dog requires extra attention (and understanding) which was handled well and made me feel at ease being away from her. I would recommend them to care for anyone’s dog. The daily reports and photos were also appreciated.”
About: I’ve grown up around both small and large dogs, giving me experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. I’ve also cared for and dog sat more dogs than I can count. Me and my partner love dogs and we wish we could have our own - but out jobs are both in person Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday making it impossible to be there for a dog during the week. However, we would love to care for an animal over a weekend! Or even just dog sit! I currently work from home only on Mondays and Fridays. I am in person Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I would be happy to help in baby sitting for long weekends and walks on the weekends! We currently live in a townhome with both a small front and back yard. While neither yard is fenced, your dog’s safety is my top priority. I always keep dogs on a leash when outside and never let them off leash unless they are in a fully fenced, secure area.
“Whitney is an amazing walker for our full of life puppy WALL-E. Her introduction was very friendly. Her communication is great. I would definitely recommend Whitney to anyone and for the new and existing ROVER members that's in the area. Take heed to what's needed for our handsome little guy!! You Rocks Whitney!!”
About: Dogs have always been part of our family, and I have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a family with three friendly dogs, we understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. We provide a clean, structured, and supervised home where dogs receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, potty breaks, and affection throughout the day. We are experienced with puppies, senior dogs, administering oral medications, maintaining feeding schedules, crate-trained dogs, and multi-dog households. Every dog is treated like one of our own. You'll receive regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Our goal is to create an stress-free, loving environment where every dog feels at home. My family and I have a flexible schedule that allows us to provide consistent care and supervision throughout the day. Because we work from home part of the week, there is almost always someone available to monitor, play with, and care for your dog. We maintain regular feeding schedules, frequent potty breaks, daily exercise, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection. We offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times whenever possible and work hard to accommodate each family's needs. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. We have a clean, smoke-free home with a dedicated space designed specifically for boarding dogs, giving them plenty of room to relax, play, and feel comfortable. We have three friendly, well-socialized dogs and always introduce pets carefully to ensure everyone gets along. We closely supervise all interactions and can separate dogs whenever needed for meals, rest, or individual care. We follow each owner's feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise routine, and any special requests. We welcome crate-trained dogs and can accommodate dogs who need extra attention, senior care, or a quieter environment. You'll also receive daily photo and video updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ferndale
Tina is absolutely the BEST! She always shows up on time, and my puppy absolutely LOVES going on walks and playing tug with her. I especially appreciate that she lets him take his time sniffing and exploring while also patiently teaching him not to pull on the leash. When he had an accident in his crate, Tina went above and beyond without hesitation—she cleaned him up and took care of the entire mess! She is incredibly caring, reliable, and will send you the cutest pictures she takes of your puppy during her time there. I HIGHLY recommend Tina to anyone looking for an amazing dog walker!
This was my first time using Rover and I was a little anxious about leaving my fur baby with someone, but Nakea eased my anxiety. She provided pictures upon pick up and drop off for walks, she was extremely communicative throughout the process and answered any questions I had. I highly recommend Nakea and will be using her for future walks!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Ferndale. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

Every walker 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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers 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 walker.
