“Whitley was amazing!! Otis is an active guy and there were no shortage of action packed adventures. Otis and Whitley's dog Ollie had a fun and became best buddies. Whitely shared updates 2 times daily and I had complete peace of mind! I highly recommend her! We will be back for sure!!”
“Steven was great, very responsive and sent daily updates. I was happy to see my dog getting along with all the other dogs with no issues. My plane was delayed and Steven was very understanding. My dog had a great time, because she was whining when she got in the car. I will most definitely use him again. Thanks Steven”

“Kadi was soo sweet and accommodating! Definitely recommend her if anyone is looking for a good and loving pet sitter! I will ask her to watch my dog Millie again in the future!! 😍😇🥰”

“SYDNEY IS THE BEST! This was the first time our dog, Primo, stayed with someone who wasn’t already familiar with him, so naturally, we were a little nervous about leaving him while we were away on vacation. From the very beginning, Sydney completely put our minds at ease. She took the time to address every concern we had, answered all of our questions, and reassured us that Primo would be safe, comfortable, and very well taken care of. Sydney was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and professional throughout Primo’s entire stay. What we appreciated most was her communication. Every morning and evening, she sent us pictures along with updates and notes about how Primo was doing. Being able to see him happy and comfortable allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. It was clear that Sydney treated Primo with genuine care and attention, and that means everything to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience leaving him with someone new. Sydney has definitely earned our trust, and we will absolutely be using her services again in the future. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, communicative, and trustworthy to care for your pet, we highly recommend Sydney. Thank you, Sydney!”
“Very warm and caring sitter. She messaged me with picture, video's and text updates throughout her time with him. That made my family feel even more comfortable with leaving our Leo. Highly recommend!”
“Luna had a wonderful time at Vicki’s house! She went on walks, enjoyed her time with their dog and felt completely comfortable there! We were also sent lots of pictures and updates. We would definitely have Luna stay there again!”
“Once again he was amazing! Cobra was very happy and excited to see him again! He will definitely continue being my sitter! He treated him like a part of his on family! 🥰”
“Such a steady support system - attentive, creative and loving to my pup over the holiday weekend. Jeff and Rachel are reliable and arguably the best place for pups to know a loving home away from home.”
“Bee was super happy to see me when I picked her up but not “oh my god get me out of here “. Audrey is her new buddy and next time we travel they’ll get another hang. ❤️”
“Zenon loved her stay with Angela! She was so great and communicative, and I could tell Zenon was very comfortable right away from the meet and greet. She went above and beyond to make sure Zenon was feeling at home, even with other dogs staying at the house at the same time. Will definitely be back. 🙂”
“Enaes did a fantastic job handling my very nervous pooch and was very flexible when I was stuck out of town due to the weather. She provided updates and I felt comfortable having Pheo in her care.”
“Emily watched Ariel for us in her home for 3 nights/4 days. Ariel had such a great time! We loved the photo updates. Emily just seems like a genuine, good person. Emily also has a dog, and they were two peas in a pod! She even gifted her bone to take home. :) We will definitely use her services again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ferndale
Our girls always have the best time with Rachel! Their tails start wagging when we turn onto her street and they don’t stop for hours after we bring them home. Rachel keeps our girls safe, happy and entertained with creative enrichment activities. She’s the most popular sitter in our neighborhood!
Sydney took exceptional care of our 7yr. old, mini golden doodle. She is prompt, courteous and wonderfully warm with people and pets alike. From our first meeting, I knew our dog was in great hands, which made our time away relaxing and worry-free. Her communication and photo updates were top-notch throughout the stay. This was our dog's first time staying with Sydney and we look forward to booking with her again!
Andrea was amazing and I cannot recommend enough! She helped me out when I was in a last minute bind and took my dog with one day notice. She sent me pictures and updates daily and kept me in the loop on how my dog was doing. Andrea is the most kind and my pup came home happy! We will absolutely use her in the future.
Sam was absolutely amazing with my dog while I was away camping! I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands, which made it so much easier to relax and enjoy my trip. Sam was dependable, caring, and treated her like she was his own. I really appreciate the care and attention he gave her, and I would absolutely trust Sam to watch my Baobao again. Highly recommend!
Jackie cared for my pup, Obie, so well while we were gone! She was extremely responsive, sent tons of pictures ans updates and she went above and beyond to ensure he was comfortable. Will book with Jackie again 1000%! Her dog, Pinky, is also such a sweetheart and very welcoming!
I can’t say enough good things! I have a geriatric dog with respiratory allergies. Shree was able to accommodate the additional care without question. Videos were provided daily and I felt so comfortable with Ruby in Shree’s care. Shree will be my go-to pet sitter moving forward.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ferndale on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,555 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ferndale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Ferndale sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Ferndale landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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 MI 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.
