“Tabitha is an incredible sitter and companion for my dog Scout. I can see the care and detail she takes in playing with him and making him feel important. I travel a lot for work and it’s just me so it’s always stressful knowing I have to leave my dog behind. But I’m always assured he’s in great hands with Tabitha. Thank you for all that you do. It truly matters.”

“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!!!”

I’m available during the weekdays and weekends during the morning, afternoon, and evening for check ins and walks so I’ll be able to care for your fur babies as needed!

“Fennel is an outstanding sitter! They always keep me informed about the status of my pet and provide feedback and photos even when it is just for a short walk. They were also extremely helpful and reliable when I booked them for an all day stay. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, extra playtime, or a little patience and encouragement, I’m happy to provide attentive care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and bathroom breaks while making sure each pet receives the attention and care they need. I’m committed to being reliable, punctual, and communicative so pet parents always know their furry family member is in good hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and walking preferences. During walks, I remain attentive to my surroundings and keep pets securely leashed unless otherwise instructed in a safe, enclosed area. In your home, I will respect your space, maintain your pet’s routine, and provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident your pet is receiving excellent care while you’re away.
About: Hey! My name is Briana and I grew up with groomers and animal rescuers for parents. I was taught how to birth, wean, potty train, and care for many types of animals. I have worked in my parents grooming shop to help over the years and this included walking and bathing dogs. I have not only work experience and lived experience but also my passion for animals especially being a cat/dog mom myself. I have special experience with senior dogs and puppies, including wound care, medicine needs and dedicated time/attention. I can't wait to meet your furry loved one! I work Mon-Sat 7am-12pm at my fulltime job but am able to house sit and do drop ins around that schedule. I would be leaving around 6/630am and back around 12:30/1pm to handle any care needs. I am unable to host animals inside of my home due to my own cat not being a friendly guy. In my clients home I follow all rules set in place as well as keeping your furry loved one comfortable in their existing routines or whatever the client's expectations would be. I prefer taking written directions just so I have something I can always check back to ensure the most efficient care.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ferndale
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!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Ferndale.

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 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.
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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ferndale. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
