About: I've had pets my entire life. My pets were a Tabby named Mischief (always got in trouble), her son Harddrive (born next to a desktop), and a black cat named Lucky. I have house sat overnight multiple times, including pets that had to have medicine and special diets. My friends always ask me to watch their pets, which I happily do. I have dealt with a 4 cat household, as well a two dog two cat household. I enjoy taking dogs for walks, a highlight of which was walking a young, lovely, and hyper German Shepard named Iris for several weeks while her family vacationed. I used to work at a pet store that specialized in healthy food, where I learned useful information in regards of proper care and diets.
“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!”
“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!”
“Shane and Brittany have been so great with me and my dog! I’m a worrier, especially when it comes to my dog, since she isn’t always a walk in the park. Shane and Brittany have been very patient with answering all my questions and giving feedback on Gucci’s daily walks. They have also been very attentive to Gucci’s needs. I couldn’t ask for better!”
About: Have taken care of and LOVED any household pet you can think of. I am comfortable with dogs of any size, cats, rabbits, gerbils, lizards etc. Right now I am a mother of two very adorable bunnies, and two very active cats. I have a lot of love to give, and would be delighted to share it with your fur baby. I'm big on communication, so I am happy to send you daily update pictures of your pet while you are away. I have experience working with animals who have medication and/or mobility needs. One of my favorite things when pet-sitting is taking cat-naps or hanging out with your furbaby if they're just feeling lonely and need some additional attention. Happy to love on your pet and make them feel happy and comfortable while you are away. I am typically free after 3pm monday thursday friday. Then after 4pm on tuesday and wednesday. My weekends are fairly flexible. Just send me a message and we can chat schedules! Safety of your pet will be top priority. I understand that every pet is different and will follow owners guidance on what works best for them and their pet. If you have a pet that needs to be crated during the day, I will follow the care as directed. Furthermore, if you have a pet that is free roam during the day I will ensure that the environment is safe for them to roam without harm or injury.
“My dog is a happy girl when I come home from work, after she gets her midday walks with Courtney! Consistent and timely communication, sent pictures, all is great!”
“Erica is absolutely wonderful, and takes such good care of my very needy girl! And her notes on the walks are hilarious. I've already recommended her to some friends.”
About: *MY BOOKING FOR NEW CLIENTS IS FULLY CLOSED AT THIS TIME* 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.
“Emma was great ! She answered every message quickly , checked in each walk and made sure cai was well taken care of. It was a last minute request which she came and met Cai the same week! It was also cold and bad weather but she still made sure he was able to get outside ! Highly reccomend”
“Chris has been a wonderful walker. He treats my dog with such kindness and patience. He is responsive and alert. I have complete trust in Chris and the care he gives to my older dog. I highly recommend!”
About: Hiiii my name is Martina, I have a few pets of my own including two very cute dogs, one turtle and a cat!!! I have had dogs all throughout my life growing up and a few other animals, I’m looking to make some extra cash while also doing something I love and animals are the best companions!!! While I am myself new to this app. I used to help out my mom all the time when she did Rover, along with fostering pets/ shelter pets with my parents. I currently work part-time as a hairstylist, so in the days I’m not doing much. I’d love to spend some time with some very cute animals. As I stated, I do have pets of my own. I love so very much. I even consider my babies to be my best friends lol, but in my house we’re very good with our feeding times and keeping our dogs on a routine,making sure that our dogs are able to get enough outside time and that they have a good amount of enrichment through toys and playtime.
About: Hi! My name is Jazmin. I've had dogs my whole life, I absolutely love all animals. Ive been working with animals (professionally) for about 9 years now. Before COVID, I was an assistant general manager for a restaurant. When the pandemic hit and the world shut down, I decided to open up my own pet sitting business. Its been such a blessing because now I can focus all my energy and time into what I love! Which is caring for all animals! I am experienced and comfortable in administering medications to dogs and cats. My beagle, Buster was epileptic and had thyroid issues that he was on medication for. He was very picky and had to get medication twice a day. I've also watched cats that needed insulin injections, as well as other clients that needed timley medications to control seizures. I am a full time pet sitter and stay at home mom. This means your baby gets unlimited playtime, as well as one on one cuddles! This also allows me to be very flexible to accommodate any pet sitting requests! Drop off times start as early as 6:00 AM, and pickup can be as late as 9:00 PM. I leave out for brief periods of time, to take my son to school or husband to work and to pick them up! During these times pups will either be crated or put into a playpen to keep themselves from getting into trouble! I have two dogs of my own that love to play with your pups and help keep them company! I have a fully fenced (6ft high) yard to keep your baby safe and contained while they play. I have a bunch of toys - from ropes,to balls and bones, that get sanitized between stays. On rainy days pups will get their stimulation by doing treat puzzles. Dogs are welcome on all furniture! I have gates blocking them from the bedrooms and bathrooms but other then that they have free roam of the house! There are crates always open and set up with blankets and beds, if any pup is feeling overwhelmed or needs a break, they can retreat to a nice comfy spot.
About: I have owned pets all my life, have worked in a pet rescue and have fostered around 100+ dogs ranging in age, size, breed and gender. I love spending time with animals and giving them a loving environment. My background in the pet industry has taught me how to properly care for different breeds, different temperaments and training of young pets. I have had experience for dogs with many health issues including tripods, dogs with one eye, dogs with broken bones needed daily physical therapy performed by me as well as different issues with puppies. I am able to take on any breed, and am not intimidated by any type of temperament. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding my knowledge or experience.
About: Two dog lovers with lots of experience caring for dogs and other animals. We are happy to watch your dog in our home or yours, or to just come take them out for walks and exercise. We'll work to meet your dog's specific needs! Our own dog, Tiger, loves to play and is always happy to have a new friend but can also be kept separate if necessary. Dogs are allowed wherever they want in the house, including beds and furniture, and have frequent access to the gated backyard. One or both of us is home most of the day so your pup would not be left alone! Let us know your dog's needs and we'll make sure to keep them happy and well cared for.
About: With 7 years of pet sitting experience, I’ve had the opportunity to care for all kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles, and birds. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to understand and respect those differences. Your pet’s care and comfort genuinely means a lot to me. I prioritize their needs, follow their routines, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring, dependable hands. I spent 6 years working in veterinary care, gaining hands on experience caring for animals and learning how to recognize and respond to their individual needs. I’m now a stay at home mom to my 14 month old son, which has given me the flexibility to continue doing what I love through pet care. For most visits, my son will accompany me, or his father will watch him when he’s home from work. Your pets safety, comfort, and routine will always be my priority. I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I’d want for my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ferndale
Cheyenne is kind, flexible, and quick to respond. My dog can be a little shy at first, and Cheyenne was more than happy to do a meet and greet beforehand to get to know her and understand her needs before their walk. I really appreciated her willingness to make sure my dog felt comfortable. Would definitely recommend!
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!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Ferndale is $18 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $22 per walk.

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 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.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Ferndale after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
