“Liz and Jeffrey were so wonderful with Lola and Daisy! It was fairly last minute and they were incredibly understanding. They provided a lot of information about their home and care that made me feel so much better about dropping my girls off with them. They even got to attend the eclipse viewing party with some fabulous kids!! They provided lots of updates and videos which helped me enjoy a long day at work. One of the best Rover experiences I've ever had, if not the very best!!”
“Robin made it really easy to drop my dog off and pick him up. He had a great playdate while we were going out for lunch. Robin sent lots of cute pictures and videos.”

“Naya is AMAZING! My husband and I have a long commute and needed someone to take care of our pup during the way while we're at work. Before we found Naya, we were really concerned about leaving him somewhere else for so long during the day. But we really lucked out in finding Naya! Naya has her own 2 dogs and a huge backyard that our pup loves to play in! She takes him for walks, teaches him tricks, and helps us so much by training with him as well! Our pup comes home every day happy and tired, and is excited to go back in the morning. Naya is so attentive, caring, and loving to our pup and we feel so lucky that we found her!”

“Kelly and George were amazing. They helped ease some of my anxiety of leaving my new pup at daycare. We even had a meet & greet for us before booking. My pup had already experienced a rough first year before adoption and I didn't want the experience to be triggering for him. When we arrived, my pup was excited to see George again and ran right to him. Both Kelly and George did a great job of keeping me updated and sending pics. I will certainly book again.”
““Absolutely amazing experience! caring, and genuinely loves the dogs. From the moment we walked in, I felt comfortable leaving my fur baby in Lanese care. I received updates and could tell my dog was having a great time. My pup came home happy, tired, and excited to return—which says a lot Highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe and loving doggy daycare”

“Aviah was so nice to accept a last minute daycare request. She has a large area for the dogs and a wonderful fenced back yard. We really appreciated the time she took with us when dropping off our dogs, the care that they received, the communications, and photos. Highly recommend! Very professional!”
About: I’ve owned cats for 30+ years. I helped care for a family dog in my young adulthood for 4+ years. Our family just started dog sitting for friends when needed and all parties involved adjust well to bringing new pets temporarily into the home. Even though we do not have our own dog we love and enjoy dogs. We are flexible with the type, age and size of dog. My kids and I love going on walks and being out in our big back yard. Having a dog join us for these times just makes it even more enjoyable! We understand that a pet is a part of the family and therefore we will treat your pet like part of our family for the duration of their stay. I am a stay at home mom. My schedule is flexible and we are usually not out of the house for more than a couple hours at a time and this is just occasionally. We have an excellent yard that any dog would go crazy for. I have young kids who will love on and play with your dogs. I am happy to go by any instructions you give me on how best to care for your pet. I am flexible in my schedule. I am a stay at home mom. This allows me to be available for your pet and their needs. We will treat your pet like they are part of the family while they stay with us. My kids and I will engage with them throughout the day by playing outside/inside and going on walks.

Jazmin was responsive and accepted my last minute request. She sent photos and videos while my dog was in her care, which I really appreciated since it was the first time she had been with anyone besides family. I would definitely use Jazmin’s services again.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Ferndale commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 3,751 sitters in Ferndale, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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 sitter.
