“Always reliable! Every visit Danielle provides great notes and pics of our pets and she spends quality time with them too! I would highly recommend Danielle!”
“Jason was amazing. I would recommend him as a sitter for your dog, cats and as a chicken checker...lol.

“I can always count on Annie to make my cat happy when I’m away from home. He sits on her lap most of the visit, getting pets from her and I love seeing the photos she sends. Highly recommend this cat sitter, she’s been my go-to since 2017.”
“Our girls love recess with Kelly! In addition to knowing that our dogs are well cared for while we are at work, we receive such great photos that often provide a necessary pick-me-up. Kelly is communicative and reliable and it’s obvious from the pictures she sends that our pups thoroughly enjoy her drop in visits.”

She too such good care of our 2 cats when we were away and sent is lots of pictures while we were away. She did an amazing job and we will definitely recommend her to friends and family.”
“Audrey was a lifesaver as I needed to find someone last minute to drop-in on Henry a few nights this week. I could tell he would be in good hands as soon as we met. Henry took to her immediately. Could not recommend her more!”
“Tara is a great cat sitter! She was very patient with and loving toward my standoffish cat, very prepared for everything required for catsitting, and willing to go above and beyond when I needed it while I was away. I would definitely recommend her as a catsitter and am looking forward to working with her again in the future!”
“Jackie was excellent with our dog Alaska. Patient, Kind, prompt and she listened to what our needs for our dog were and acted on those needs. Our dog is in her final years of life and Jackie responded to these needs. I would definitely ask her to watch Alaska again.”
“Suzanne did a wonderful job with our fur babies. Our girl cat can be cranky or a sweetheart and Suzanne knew how to bring the sweetheart out of her. She sent delightful photos of Peanut rubbing all up and down her leg in greeting and running around the house excitedly playing or having zoomies. We knew our cat was in good hands with her from the very beginning - just a vibe - but she proved to be responsible, attentive, and definitely went the extra mile to make sure we knew Peanut was being loved, food and maintenance was being taken care of, and that our other pets were also safe.”

“We can always rely on Jess to come check in on our cat when we are out of town. She consistently goes above and beyond to take care of Gwen as well as our house. Highly recommend!”
About: I love all animals and grew up with dogs, both rescues, one big one small. Although I don’t have a pet of my own now, Rover gives me the chance to give care and spend time with the furry friends that give us unconditional love. I’m currently working freelance so I have the flexibility of making my own schedule, and time to spend giving attention to your pets and whatever needs they have. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe in their own space. My first priority is to make your dog or cat feel comfortable with me.
“Lavina did a great job taking care of my cats. Even when they were being shy and hiding under the bed, she spent time in the room with them. She gives good updates and responds quickly to questions.”
“very communicative! i love that jennifer was able to tolerate my pebble's neediness and even check on moose who happened to be hiding under blankets! would definitely book with her again!”
“Lizzi is a loving caring responsible life saver for my pup. Great at accessing needs. Flexible to add service when i was out of state. Professional and reputable. Can't compliment or say enough about her capabilities to take care of my difficult unique trauma relief sassing pup. Any questions about feeling confident with leaving your pet alone. Lizzie is the one!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ferndale
Madeleine was very nice, respectful, and helpful while taking care of my cats. There were a couple of minor hiccups—she arrived late on the first day and spent quite a bit of time on her phone rather than actively playing with the cats—but overall, she provided good care, and everything went well.
Charlie and Kat have a wonderful relationship and she is always as delighted to see him as he is to see her. I am truly eternally grateful to know that this little guy is in great hands and he has a wonderful time every time they are together. She takes extra care of him, cleans his water rolls, cleans up after his messes, even that’s not my expectation! Thank you so much for your caring of my little guy!
Hannah is always the best with our kitties! She gives them such good care and provides me with really great updates and photos. She’s also extremely patient and understanding with our semi-incontinent senior kitty, which we appreciate more than words can express.
My cat is very shy around new people, but he warmed up so quickly to Ally! Previous sitters only saw glimpses of my cat, but Ally had a magic touch that had my cat rolling over to be pet and he nuzzled all over her. She was very responsive and sent detailed updates and pictures. I highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Ferndale on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,842 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ferndale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ferndale stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ferndale. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 pet, 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.
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.
