“Emily was wonderful. I old her the concerns I had with my fur babies before leaving and she made sure to focus on those things and was communicative with me the whole time. I will definitely be using Emily again in the future!!”
“Cynthia was amazing with my cat while I was away. She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated the whole time, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. My cat was happy and comfortable when I got back, and it was clear Cynthia genuinely cared for him. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Tess has been doing a great job walking my dogs regularly the last few weeks, so I knew I could trust her with my babies while I was out of town for a week. She sent regular photo updates of them eating, going outside and snuggling. She was considerate of the house and made sure to leave everything better than she found it. Her communication was great! I will be using her again.”
“Carlie took great care of my dogs, Kuvi and Ziva. She communicated regularly and was flexible with the end of care time. Carlie left my house well cared for as well. I would highly recommend her.”
About: As a runner from the super humid state of Arkansas, I can accommodate any level of exercise your dog may need to achieve. Also, I have always been the most responsible person in my group (many of my friends joke and call me mom). In addition, I pay close attention to details, and can follow any level of instruction (including strict feeding rules) you could give me. I was raised around animals my whole life, working with them on my farm, as well as enjoying their company indoors. I believe that's why I'm so good with animals. Animals love me and I enjoy spending time with them as well; so it's really a win-win situation! Can't wait to meet your little *or big* best friend! I will prioritize your pet! Whatever you need, I will accommodate! I know that pets are like our babies! Your furry buddy will always be happy with me around, and I will always make time for them. I will do absolutely anything you need! Even if yard work, house cleaning, litter boxes, and puppy pad duty is included! I can handle anything!
“We had a wonderful experience with Sakara! She took great care of our dogs and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was obvious our pups were very happy being with her. We came home to relaxed, well cared for dogs, which says everything. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter! Thank you so much!”
“Katelyn took such great care of our 3 dogs! They are a handful! She took pictures daily and sent them to us, so we could see they were having a great time! Katelyn was prompt in getting back to us via the app, anytime we reached out! We already have her booked again in August! Highly recommend her as a sitter!!”
“Shannon is an excellent communicator and so good to my babies! She sent several pics and messages each day and I can see that my dog is getting great care. I think he’s going to really miss her☺️ Thank you so much Shannon!”
“Tyler was absolutely wonderful with our dogs and cat He was incredibly kind, attentive, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear he genuinely cared about them and took great care of their needs. We really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We came home to happy, well-cared-for animals and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would happily book with Tyler again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🐾❤️”
“This was my first time leaving my doggo with strangers but Blake seemed to understand my anxiety around it. He responds quickly and professionally to questions and sent pics several times during the stay. My pup was so happy when I got home and clearly well taken care of. My home was also as clean when I returned as when I left. Highly recommend.”
“Wow!! I wish I could give her more stars!!! Clare was absolutely amazing!! She took great care of our dogs, and we trusted her to be unattended in our house. Our dogs grew to love her, and trust her (which is huge for our dogs with trust issues.) Not only did she do a great job with the dogs, she also did a great job communicating with us, and sending us photos of the dogs, and frequent updates to give us peace of mind. Can not recommend her enough!! We will definitely use her again!! :)”
“Lilly was wonderful! She is very sweet and took great care of my dog. Charlie loved her. I could tell when I got back that he had bonded with her and she was now his friend.”
“Lauren was great with my pitbull Isla! She was very attentive and prepared to learn all about her and took great care of her and my house while I was away. I would highly recommend her and will plan to contact her again in the future.”
“Jenna was so great! My dog is standoffish with new people, but Jenna made sure to keep me updated and made my dog her best friend by the end of the stay. I received videos and pictures every day along with updates on how she was doing. I was 100% happy with her and will definitely book with Jenna again in the future!”
“Amirah was great! She was very communicative and responsive, and she was very attentive to making us feel as comfortable as possible with someone else taking care of our fur babies. Our 9 month old puppy can be pretty needy, and Amirah handled everything really well!”

Siddha was great! She came over a few weeks to meet the dogs, and then again the night before we left so we could go over everything in detail. Our pups were loved and played hard! House was clean when we returned, and she'd even thrown towels/sheets in the washer before she left. We'll definitely be asking Siddha to sit for us again!
She did an amazing job taking care of Coco and truly went above and beyond. She took her on long walks, sent plenty of pictures, and kept me proactively updated the entire time. She was reliable, caring, and great to work with, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.
Christopher was absolutely amazing with house sitting Jax!! He stayed in constant communication with us and would send us daily pictures of him. We felt like Jax was super at home with Christopher caring for him and could not recommend him to other pet parents enough. We will definitely be rebooking with him in the future 😊
Will did a great job with our two labs. We were new to the area and were worried about who was going to watch them while we traveled for our son’s wedding. There was never a concern while we were away. Will sent us updates and pictures daily. I highly recommend him and will use him again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Farmington on Rover is $55.5 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 House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 542 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Farmington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Farmington walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Farmington maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Farmington. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
