“Linda was great! We reached out last minute and on a holiday no less and she was timely, communicative, and very friendly. She went above and beyond and even texted hours later to check in on our fur babies. Would absolutely recommend!”

About: I have always been a dog lover. My husband and I have have dogs for our entire marriage. 22yrs!! They are such a part of the family!!! I'm a stay at home Mom. I'm at the house most all of the day. Always available for potty breaks, walks, and snuggles ❤️ 💕 I am always diligent on making sure leashes and harness are on and secure. All doors and gates are always double checked to make sure they're locked.
About: Hey! My name is Camilla, I go by Rosie. I am a big animal lover! I am a sophomore in college and would love to take care of your fur baby! Growing up I have always had either a cat or a dog in my home. I currently have two dogs (Martha and Augie) and one cat (Sirius Black). In the past and currently I have helped pet sit for friends, family members and those in my community! Because of my past of having both cats and dogs I have prior knowledge on both species and how to take care of them. I have worked with dogs that can be a bit territorial and cats that seem a bit defensive when it comes to new people, from those experiences I have learned how to handle situations in a manner that relieve the stress of both the animal and care taker. My dog Augie is young and I have taught him all of his commands in French! My other dog Martha is older in age, from watching her grow in age since being a puppy I have learned the behaviors of older dogs and how to take care of their needs so they feel comfortable. I have given medication to dogs and cats before and understand the importance of keeping them happy and healthy. I am sophomore in college and currently not working a full time job. Which gives me free time to be able to help take care of your fur babies! My availability can be flexible and I can be available during the day or evenings for both weekdays and weekends. Times may vary, Monday mostly during the day and evening but I will be able to check in on both cats and dogs twice a day at least. More if needed. Would love to discuss more information if needed. I can assure you that your home will be treated with the most up respect and cleanliness. When checking in on your pet I will make sure that they will have clean water and food. If they make a mess or have an accident I will clean it up and make sure they are left in a clean environment. With the knowledge of taking care of dogs and cats in the past I understand the seriousness of making sure nothing is in reach of them getting into something they shouldn’t.
About: I've always wanted to care for and work with all kinds of animals since a young girl. I have trained horses, dog/cat sat for friends and family, and have loved spending any and all free time with animals since I was 7 years old. I'm currently a student at UARK studying psychology, and hoping to become an equine assisted therapist someday in the future :) I would love to spend my free time throughout the week caring for your critters, aiming for at least a few hours a week on dog walking! I will always put the animal and their owner's needs, safety, and happiness above all else, and do everything I can to make it a comfortable experience for all parties involved. Of course I am also happy to discuss any extra needs of your households and of your pets.

“Marilyn did a great job communicating ahead of time and during her visits. She sent lots of pictures of our cats, their food being filled, and their water running. This gave us peace of mind while we were away! I’d definitely recommend her for anyone’s fur babies!”

My home isn’t available for pets, but I’d love to work with your schedule and their schedule! It’s easy for animals to get stressed out when they’re not in their environment. I’d would love making them feel comfortable and accommodate to your animals schedule!

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions provided by owners and make sure pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I am patient and allow them time to become comfortable with me.

About: I’m retired so this is not a side gig for me! I am reliable and punctual, have experience with different breeds/sizes, and I treat every dog like family. We have an English Mastiff and our most recent addition, a Rescue Saint Bernard. I will guarantee you that I will care for your furry loved ones, as if they were my own! Recently retired - I'm very happy I get to hang out with these furry guys whenever I want! I can make myself available pretty much anytime as a result!

“Kirsten was wonderful! I got pictures everytime she visited my pups. They seemed to enjoy Kirsten dropping in for visits and having playtime. She really does a great job of taking care of my girls, especially my old dog. If your pet needs extra care, I highly recomend asking for Kirsten's services!”


About: My experience comes from years of caring for my own dog "Griffey" and cat "Miss Kitty", along with pets belonging to friends and family. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and committed to following your instructions carefully. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, or a calm presence, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own and keep you updated so you can feel completely at ease. I joined Rover because I miss having my dog in my everyday life. He is currently staying with my parents back home in north-central Kansas. My dad’s health isn’t the best, and my dog brings him a great deal of comfort, so I know he is where he needs to be for now. I return home about once a month to visit them. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Best Shawn Phelps I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I can often accommodate short-notice requests and easily work around your pet’s regular feeding, playtime, and care routine. I prefer caring for pets in their own homes, where they can feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in familiar surroundings. I will follow each pet’s normal routine, carefully secure doors and gates, respect the client’s home, and provide regular updates and photos. I have a friendly cat at home who gets along well with dogs but prefers not to be around other cats. Because of that, I would care for cats in their own homes but may welcome dogs into mine after a meet-and-greet. I’m flexible and always willing to discuss the safest arrangement for each pet.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for family members and neighbors throughout my life. This includes over night sitting and stopping by to walk, feed, or any other needs the owner has.

I am also available for over night sitting if needed! I do not work weekends, so I am available all day Saturday and Sunday! I have a fenced in yard and clean home, along with my cat. I can crate dogs if needed. Your pets will be completely safe with me!

About: I have had several animals growing up so I am familiar with taking care of animals. I cannot have animals where I live, so I pet sit a lot for my friends and family. I have taken care of animals of all ages and I can read their body language pretty well. I am a house cleaner and work Monday-Friday, but my hours vary depending on the cleans for the day. I may go into work later in the day or get off earlier, so I’m pretty flexible. During the weekends I don’t usually do anything so I would be available all weekend. I can care for your pets in home. I understand and can perform specific duties based on the instructions left for their care. I am experienced in giving animals medication and crating them if necessary.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Farmington
I had a great experience with my dog sitter! They took excellent care of my dogs and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after. Communication was great, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave them, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend!

Katelyn is very responsible and attentive. She noticed that we had left a knob turned on our stove emitting a gas odor. She turned it off and aired out the house and of course made sure our Ozzie was okay. She contacted me as soon as she arrived at our house and made sure everything was safe before she left. We are SO grateful to her.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Farmington choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
