“Maritza & Daniel did a wonderful job taking care of our Border Collie, Kaylee, while we were out of town for a few days. The updates and pictures they sent kept us informed as to how Kaylee was settling in and showed how happy she was to become a regular part of their day!”
“Lavina is a great sitter/pet boarder. She took excellent care of my cat. I received detailed messages and pictures of my cat every day for the entire month! I will definitely reuse her service anytime I need pet sitting. And I plan to recommend her to all my friends.”
“We are new to the area and finding a good dog sitter is always a bit stressful. Kadi put me and my dog, Phoebe, at ease almost immediately upon meeting her. She is friendly, welcoming, and truly cares! Kadi asked important questions about my dog to ensure the boarding was tailored to Phoebe's needs. Throughout her stay, we received updates and pictures that gave us peace of mind that Phoebe was not an after thought, but part of the family!”
“Joan of Bark stayed with Anna and it was great - sometimes Joan gets nervous and doesn’t eat or drink well, but Joan felt comfortable and was eating all her meals and drinking early in into her stay!! We got tons of pictures and updates which always helps. We would highly recommend Anna!”
“Allesha has been an exceptional host for Rex. She fully understood his requirements and provided care tailored to his needs. I highly recommend her without hesitation.”

“Karen was a great sitter. This was a return visit for us. She sent a lot of pictures and updates. She was able to handle my anxious dog with ease and even helped when our flight was delayed. Will use again.”
“This was my first time using Cody's services and I couldn't be happier. He was great with communication and sending pictures. My fur baby came home happy and tired from all the play time and attention he got. Will definitely go back. Thanks Cody”
“Alisa was awesome. She keeps you informed on how your pet is doing. My dog loved her and she took very good care of his needs. I would definitely use her again. And i recommend her to any pet owner. It was my first time using a pet sitter. It was a good experience. Our pets are family and it's comforting to know they are treated good. Thanks again.??”
“Blue had a great stay at Vicki and William’s house! They are both so kind and I felt no worries at all when leaving him in their care. The amount of communication, updates, and photos are amazing and are so helpful when I miss my pup. Their dog Bentley is also very sweet so I’m glad Blue has a friend!”
“Jess has watched our dogs a few times now! She really does a great job, and is always informative about how the dogs were and the care they received. 5/5, 10/10 would recommend :)”
“Samantha was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, she provided exceptional care for our pupppy. She kept us updated with a ton of pictures and videos and was always quick to respond to any questions we had, giving us peace of mind while we were away. Her home is clean and welcoming, and it’s clear that she takes great pride in providing a safe and loving environment for the pets she cares for. Her professionalism and dedication truly stood out. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with her again in the future! Highly recommend!”
“I am so grateful to have found Amanda. She is such a sweet person and her care of my dog was exceptional, administering meds and food at specific times. She sent photos and messages to keep me updated. I felt very confident that Carly was being cared for with the same love and concern I have for her. I will use her services again and highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for the best dog sitter in the area.”
“We are really lucky to have found Angelina and her husband. They are excellent caregivers. The dogs are walled multiple times a day and they send pictures and communicate throughout the day. It’s always nice to see my dogs happy and loved while I’m away. Thank you!”
“Our dogs had a great time with Shree and her dog Zusa. She made us feel comfortable and at ease with all the update videos and great communication. Our dogs were treated as if they were parts of her family. Definitely recommend Shree!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ferndale
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter in Whitley! Our dog, Pepper, had the best time and was so well cared for. The communication was fantastic, and we loved knowing she got to play with Ollie the whole time—they became the best of friends! We’ll absolutely have Pepper stay again. Highly recommend!
Sam did an amazing job watching Rouge while I was out of town! This was my first time leaving her with someone through Rover, and he made the entire experience so easy and reassuring. His communication was GREAT! He kept me informed throughout her stay and sent me pictures of Rouge every single day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He followed all of the instructions I left for her care and feeding, and I genuinely felt like he treated Rouge as if she were his own dog. His space was also very clean and well kept, which I really appreciated. Rouge was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of when I picked her up. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience with Rover. I would absolutely book with Sam again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and caring to watch their dog!
Camille was great with my little Winnie!! After Winnie’s surgery 7 months ago, trusting a sitter to take care of her with her quirks has been tricky. Camille eased all of my concerns and was AMAZING with my lil girl and gave her lots of walks, cuddles and love. Will def be using her again!
Vicki and William were great with Eddie and Gabbie! For their first visit, Vicki was kind, loving, patient, and made sure they were comfortable. After losing our sitter of over 20 years, we feel very happy and grateful to have found Vicki and William. Eddie and Gabbie look forward to spending more time with them.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ferndale on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,569 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.
95% 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.
