“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.”
“I had such a great experience with Katelyn watching Oakley! She stayed at my house for the weekend and took such great care of her. She was reliable, caring, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing Oakley was in good hands. I came home to a happy pup and everything in the house was just as I left it. Would definitely recommend her and would love to have her watch Oakley again! ❤️”
About: Growing up, there were always animals in the home that I would help take care of. We had 2 birds, 3 dogs (an old Shih Tzu, a German Shepherd, and a young Golden Retriever), along with barn cats. I would help my aunt take care of them and was trusted to pet sit whenever she was out of town. Now that I have moved out, I have an adorable 2 year old cat of my own. For a summer break, I also worked at a pet store, caring for a variety of animals like hamsters, bunnies, reptiles, and birds. I am an engineering student and have an on-campus job, but I am very flexible in my availability! I can do most nights except Monday and Thursday, along with room for visits during the day. I have always had pets in my home and I love to spoil them! I will treat your pets with the same love, and your home with respect!
About: I have always grown up with a variety of pets. Whether is a fish, dog, snake, or turtle. There were at least 2 dogs in my house at all times. My family is for sure a dog family in which it inspired me at one point to look to become a vet since I love animals so much. I am the type to stop someone in the street just to pet their dog because it makes me so happy! I’m a full time college student that is in a sorority. Pet care fits into my early mornings or later afternoon! Weekends are also flexible. I will make sure requirements are up to par! If there’s medications, certain foods, eating times, potty breaks, all will be checked off! And of course, spending time and playing will be a no brainer.
About: I have had dogs my whole life, I couldn’t imagine not having a pet dog! They are such sweet creatures. I work very well with all dogs, and I will love on your babies as much as possible! I am a college student at the University of Arkansas. So after my classes I have plenty of time to play, walk, and stay with your pups! This is my part time job and I want to be able to help out as much as possible! Unfortunately right now I cannot watch any dogs in my home because I live in a dorm! But when I move into my apartment next year I would love to have them stay with me!
About: Ive had dogs my whole life and have been the primary caregiver to my queen Schnauzer Millie since she was born- she’s now 8! I’ve trained 3 puppies and have loved it every time. I was raised in a big dog family- we have three dogs at my mom’s house my sister and brother bring their 3 dogs over at least once a week. I grew up being the primary care for the three dogs. I am a full time student at the U of A but have a lot of free time that I’d love to fill with taking care of dogs! I’m free on the weekends and have evenings/ afternoons off every day. I am always taking my dog for walks and happy to bring any other pups as well as letting them stay the night. I have the friendliest mini schnauzer that will keep your dog company. We go on at least 4 walks a day and she’s very well exercised/ played with!
About: I would love to watch your animals. They will receive the best love and care while with hanging out with me! I love walks and relaxing, whichever they are up for! I am available weekdays and weekends! I have a lot of flexibility with my full time job so I am able to meet your needs. I have an apartment so I would prefer to keep the dog and stay at your home! If it’s just for a night, my apartment would be fine.
“Juliet did an incredible job looking after my pup and taking care of the house. She sent lots of pictures and took care of my pup like it was her own. The house was in great shape. Juliet had collected the mail, water the plants and stripped the bed and washed the sheets she slept on. If you are in North Northwest Arkansas and need a great sitter, you should definitely book her.”
“Ariel took amazing care of our dog and cat while we were away! She also sent us lots of adorable photos and took great care of our home as well. Your pets will be in great hands! Can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Kelsey took the time to get to know my dogs (one elderly Catahoula, one very shy and nervous Catahoula, and a very bouncy one-year-old Retriever) before we booked, and she was incredibly kind and patient. I can’t recommend her enough.”
About: I’m a mature responsible adult with years of experience taking care of other people’s pets and have had several dogs of my own! I currently have 2 standard poodles that are my whole world. I am currently available to care for your pets whenever you need me. My job is as flexible as you need it to be to suite your schedule. I will follow your pet care instructions to the letter. I recognize that routine is important to animals of all types and will do my very best to ensure that they’re comfortable and feel secure.
About: I’ve had 2 dogs for all of my life until very recently! I’ve cared for a senior dog, a service dog, and an active german shepherd / labrador mix who can walk for hours!!! I am genuinely always looking to hang out and care for other’s dogs as I know how much MY dogs love attention, love, and care :) My apartment is a one bedroom apartment but I have boarded other dogs there before, my home is their home!!! As long as you are comfortable, we can play at the park and go for as many walks as the dog cares to! (Natural home, no crazy toxins that’ll harm sweet dogs!) I am an avid volunteer and 16 hour student but my schedule is Tu&Thrusday for school; which leaves more than enough time for your sweet dogs! Even on those days, I am usually home around 6PM or even sooner! Single bedroom apartment, reliable car, CLEAN home! For my family it is important for our dogs to be in a calm, relaxing, and nurturing environment that encourages play. Now that I live on my own, my apartment is exactly that!!!! If there are any preferences for your dogs, let me know so I can make them feel at home! (Perks of me living alone : they can roam the entire apartment, dogs get dibs to lay on ALL the soft furniture, and no extra people that YOU don’t approve to be around your dog!)
“Lauren was the sweetest and made our pups feel like they had family keeping them. We never worried because of her check-ins and she was wonderful with our 1 year old Shihtzu and our 11 year old lab/collie mix. We loved the photos and she made sure our dogs were so well taken care of. We would happily use her again!”
About: I have been fostering my whole life and mainly working with the first 3 weeks of life. During fostering I train puppies at a young age and have also trained older dogs too. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including young pets who need extra patience and guidance, as well as senior pets who may need a slower pace, extra attention, or special care. I also pay close attention to pets’ body language and behavior so I can recognize when they are happy, nervous, stressed, or need some space. My goal is to give every pet the same love, attention, and care I would want for my own, while keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. Pet care fits into my weekly routine because the summer has started for me so therefore I’m out of school and available all the time. I care for pets in my clients home by taking their pet potty and giving the pet love, food, water, and attention most importantly too.
“We were so grateful to have Bri watch our darling dog. It was such a relief to know he was in such good hands and was happy. We realii look y appreciated the photos and updates on our guy!”
“Emma did a great job looking after my two pups! She was on time, provided great care to Milo & Cooper, and provided us with updated throughout the day! She even made sure the house was even cleaner than she found it. We will definitely be using Emma again and recommend you reach out to her the next time you need a dog/house sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Farmington
Being new to the area, finding someone we could trust with our pups was really important to us, and we feel so lucky to have found Breanna! She made us feel completely at ease from the start and took such wonderful care of our fur babies. She updated us daily and ensured that our pups had their meds along with plenty of snuggles! We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust and will definitely be booking with her again!
Carlie was amazing with my pups! Mona usually gets sad when I leave and skips on meal, but she was just so comfortable with Carlie that she ate just fine and my puppy Kali was as happy as she can be with Carlie! Carlie was really good at taking great care of them and give them lots of love and sending updates with pictures! I will be reaching out to Carlie every time I leave town!
Shelby is so amazing! She sent pictures every day of our 3 dogs, she played with them and they were happy! We felt very comfortable leaving them with Shelby. I knew she was going to be great after we met her at the meet and greet, the dogs took to her instantly! We will be using Shelby in the future...there is no doubt!
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!
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 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Farmington is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $70 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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.
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.

- 96% 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.
