“Kris was so helpful! All questions I asked were answered promptly and clearly, and while Aniol my nearly two year old dog stayed at Kris's family home, he seemed to have a safe and comfortable experience! I was so grateful for updates in words and pictures! We will certainly bring Aniol to Kris's again.”
“Sophia was wonderful! Our puppy can be a little bit nervous about new people and unfamiliar situations. Sophia planned for us to meet beforehand for a puppy play date, where my dog had a great time playing with hers. She is flexible, kind, and took great care of our puppy. She sent lots of photos of Albee over the weekend. We are definitely bringing Albee back to her soon. She came highly recommended from another friend and definitely lives up to every kind word.”
About: I've worked with all sorts of dog breeds; from terriers, to retrievers, to herders, to energetic working breeds. I have experience with dog training, with reactive / special needs dogs, as well as administered medication to pets. I also have experience with cats. I'd love to get to know your best friend! At present I am available most weekday afternoons. Weekends can be scheduled ahead as needed, as well as extended pet sitting periods or periodic visits for client travel. We often remark at my household that our animals eat better than we do! While I am not currently offering pet sitting at my own home (as we currently have a puppy we're training who recently turned 1 year old), I have a multi-sectioned fenced backyard with plenty of grass to run around and play in.
“Adrienne and her two boys provided the kind of love and care I want my dog to receive when we are away. Adrienne is flexible, responsible and a delight to work with and accommodated us upon our return due to a delay in air travel. I received many photos and was immediately assured that our sweetie was in a great place. Thank you Adrienne ( and your sons) for being so darn nice.”
“Deborah/Mark- were excellent with Texas and had great communication with me through the entire stay. Lots of walks and play time with taking Texas to the dog park several times. The home was very clean and homely.”
“Dolly is so kind and always takes such good care of our special needs dog. We have used Dolly twice now and already have her booked for a 3rd stay. Super pleased with the care our dogs get with Dolly.”
“Morgan is great!! She was on time to pick up our pups, sent loads of photos and updates! You for sure won’t worry about your pups with her! Thank you Morgan!!”
“The best dog minder ever. Our Toby loves playing with Archie and gets excited when I mention going over to stay with him. Holly has become almost family to us. Very reliable, friendly.”
“Amber was great with my dog and easy to deal with. Very kind and patient while giving lots of friendly updates. You can trust her to take care of your animal and give them a fantastic experience”
“Alexandra was amazing! My work schedule changed last minute and she was very flexible and quick to reply to messages making the last minute change smooth and stress-free. She sent updates with photos regularly and my dog was super happy in her care and loved her dog Katara.”
“Kristyn was such a great dog sitter and very flexible and helpful when we had to change plans due to a flight cancellation. Our dog was in good hands. Really appreciate her!”
“April and her husband were great with my corgi! They really made the effort to learn as much about my dog as possible so that they can keep him on the same routine and boundaries :) They have a wonderful backyard for dogs to play in and my dog definitely had a blast! Thanks for taking such great care of Biscuit 😊”
“Karrin was wonderful. She sent daily, or near daily, updates or photos. When my travel plans were unexpected delayed a few hours, Karrin was willing to work with me around pick up (which I greatly appreciate).”
“Nathan and Elise were wonderful. We met with them both and had our pup go over for a trial day, then when everything went well, signed him up for a full stay. We got pictures of our guy having a ball he even got bathed and brushed! They were super relaxed, flexible on drop off and pick up times and location and even had previous experience with german shepherds. Overall a great experience, would highly recommend!”
“Absolutely Wonderful Dog Sitters – So Grateful! I hadn’t left my dog Louis with a sitter in many years, so I was incredibly anxious about being away from him while I traveled overseas. But from the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in the best care. The sitters went above and beyond to make both Louis and me feel completely at ease. They provided regular updates several times a day with photos, videos, and detailed messages, keeping me in the loop about his walks, meals, bedtime and how he was settling in. Despite being in a completely different time zone, they made sure I never felt out of touch. Louis was clearly happy and comfortable the entire time. It was such a relief to know he was being so well cared for and understood, especially with all his little quirks and needs. I’m incredibly grateful to have found dog sitters I can trust. Knowing Louis is in such loving and capable hands makes any future trips so much easier. Highly, highly recommend Mykyta and Michelle to look after your loved ones!”
“Clara took great care of our dog! It was so nice to hear updates from her about their day and activities. In addition to the great care and attention she gave our dog, she was great communicator for planning and throughout the my dog’s stay. I will definitely ask her to dog sit again in the future!”
“I have to be honest, I was hesitant to leave my two best friends with a complete stranger. Addison didn’t feel like a stranger within 5 seconds of meeting him in person. Him and his family took such great care of my boys, and put my mind completely at ease while I was out of town for Christmas. Daily pictures and check-ins were sent to me unprompted, which I could not have been more appreciative of. Rover, I’m not sure if you read these reviews, but you have a gem in your hands with Addison. I will 100% be using Addison’s services in the future. Great guy, great family, and a great disposition around dogs.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ferndale
Heather did a great job of looking after our blind, diabetic dog. She was able to give her insulin injection without any problems and no issue with her special feeding schedule. Our dog enjoyed being around heathers dogs. She communicated with us if she had any questions or concerns.
Jennifer is my only go-to for my little guy. He has pretty severe separation anxiety, and over the past year, Jennifer has been amazing with continually working with him to make sure he has a safe place to stay when I need to go out of town. So incredibly grateful to have found her!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Ferndale is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 227 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Ferndale can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ferndale home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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 WA 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.
