About: Hello, I’m Iyanna, i’ve had plenty of pet care experience. I’ve volunteered with a local animal shelter and have worked with both cats and dogs. I’ve also have excessive experience with dog grooming and walking as well. Since I am currently in school, my calendar is updated monthly.

About: I have experience with house sitting for dogs, cared for puppies since a young age, and assisted with basic training. I am patient, attentive and focused on safe, enjoyable walks. I am currently an architecture student, with a consistent week schedule. Which allows me to offer reliable dog walking times. I’m available for walks Tuesday and Thursday mornings, as well as weekday evenings after 5 pm. I also have availability throughout the day on Tuesday and Thursday before 1pm and after my class (3:30pm onward) I currently work as a server in Roger’s on Saturday evenings, but would like to move my focus to dog walking and pet care during the week days. I’m more then happy to work with you and your dogs routine while providing dependable, consistent care. I live in a safe and pet friendly townhome with plenty of grassy space behind my home and several parks nearby for walks and exercise. While I don’t currently have pets of my own due to being a full time student, I have cared for friends and family members pets in my home many times, including longer stays. I focus on creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable, loved, and enjoy regular walks and outdoor time.
About: I have 3 dogs myself. I have pet sit many times for all different types of dogs and I can accommodate any needs you may have for your dogs! I'm currently in school but I have very open availability and am super flexible! I would be able to check on your dog and spend time with them multiples times a day! I cannot keep dogs in my home so I can only do drops in at other houses. But, I can check on them many times a day!
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.
“Martin has been a great sitter for my dog. Their communication and reliability has been wonderful and I’ve had peace of mind knowing my dog (and cat) gets to see them while I’m away. Thank you Martin!”
About: I love caring for animals - both my own and for others! I have sat dogs for friends on deployment, taken care of mixed pet households (including cats and dogs), cared for senior and disabled dogs, and have experience caring for a wide range of non-traditional pets as well. I'm currently a stay-at-home dad to a wonderful daughter, and my partner works from home, so I have flexibility in my daily and weekly schedules. I understand that different pets need different care and support. Have a super energetic dog? I love playing fetch and going on long walks. Have a kitty that needs silence and space? I'm happy to provide quiet company and respect their boundaries. I'm attentive, consistent, detail-oriented, and responsive. I take caring for your animals as seriously as my own.
“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!”
“Grace is amazing! She is always sending pictures and taking such good care of our cat while we are away. She is always willing to bring in packages that are left too. Mabel loves her!”
About: I had my first dog when I was 8 and raised her from a puppy for 5 years. Also, I’ve been pet/dog (e.g. dogs, cat, reptiles, etc.) and house sitting for several years. I graduated from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, was born and raised in Northwest Arkansas, and currently volunteer with the Fayetteville animal shelter. I’m currently working full-time M-F from 8am-5pm with a few breaks. More than willing to do whatever takes to ensure you and your pet are most comfortable. We have several parks nearby within a quaint neighborhood. I have a 2BR apartment, no pets, and tons of amenities available (dog park, walking trails, etc.).
About: I have house-sat and cared for both dogs and cats, as well growing up and having animals living with me almost my whole life (both my own and roomate’s pets). I have had to administer medicine to both dogs and cats in the past while taking care of them, and am comfortable with doing so. Drop-In Visits: Weekdays, I can typically provide these in the very early morning (630am) and evening (after 5pm). Weekends I will usually have more flexibility. House Sitting: I typically work full time during the week (Monday-Friday), so I am gone 10-11 hours total (up to 45 minute commute each way, and then an 9 hour shift). When you request a booking, I will make sure to give you more specific details on what my schedule looks like during your dates if it varies from my normal availability. I will treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would treat my own! I know pets are like family, and I want you to know they are in good hands!
“Iyari was fantastic!! My dog absolutely loved her, and she left detailed comments about her visits. She also stopped in on time, and I had no worries about hiring her for the weekend. She was also very easy to get in touch with. I will definitely book with her again:)”
“Jocelyn is the very best. Our pets love her and she takes excellent care of them. She has taken care of our dogs many times and there is no one else we trust with them. She is simply the best! Thanks Jocelyn!”
About: I’ve cared for several pets, as well as my own dog, for over 12 years. I have been lucky to have fed, walked, and provided love and affection to so many dogs! I am currently in school at the U of A, so hours it’s days/weeks are flexible. Weekends and in the evenings during the week are most available! I cannot keep pets per my apartment lease, however I would love to make your pet feel safe and loved in their home and keep them safe while you are away!
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! I offer in home visits, walking, overnight stays and basic training. We have had in home pet care for years. The single most important thing for me was always TRUST and RELIABILITY. That is who I am. Our sitters always sent us pics every time they visited - I am happy to offer you the same thing if you wish. I will take care of your pets as if they were my own. My experience has taught me that positive reinforcement ALWAYS works. All these furry friends know instinctually who loves them.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Farmington is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $24 per visit. 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
