About: Growing up on a ranch, I cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, horses, and exotic animals—so very little surprises me! 😊 Pet sitting was actually my first neighborhood “business” as a kid, which tells you this has always been more passion than side gig. Being away from home for school these past few years, I’ve dearly missed caring for animals— so this is my way of staying connected to something I love. I’m a naturally curious person and take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routines so I can give them attentive, enriching care while you’re away. 😊 I’ll be working remotely for the foreseeable future, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care naturally into my day. I can accommodate different feeding and walking schedules, playtime, medication, check-ins, and plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Since my work travels with me, I’m also flexible with longer stays and can be around much more than someone working outside the home. I know how important it is to trust someone not only with your pet, but with your home. I take both seriously and will follow your instructions and your pet’s usual routine closely. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and always prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and secure. I’m also more than happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away😊
About: I volunteer at the Stockton Animal Shelter. Also, I have a Pomeranian chihuahua mix so I’m used to smaller animals. My dog is 14-16 so he’s very old and is becoming more immobile and blind. I’m used to feeding him and helping him around the house. I’m currently working part time so most I’m completely free on the weekend as well as Monday and Tuesday. Also I have plenty of time on Thursday as a half day. I’m very respectful in others space. I will be very attentive to the rules that you lay out because you know your pet best
About: I’ve taken care of puppies, kittens dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors friends and family have relied on me to check in, feed and play with their pets. I am currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and or cats. I am available to care for your pet or pets on weekends, weekdays and holidays. I cannot currently board animals at my home due to various reasons. I will be sure to offer that if I can in the future. Thank you.
“Over the moon happy with Rachel. She did a great job handling our many cats and foster cats too. My house was cleaner than I left it too. All the cats loved her. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Daniella did a fantastic job with Stark !! She has been responsive and on time every time. She kept up with the updates and stayed in touch with me throughout the visits. Great to have her as the sitter for my cat and I will rebook her again next time I need”
About: My mother worked at a zoo when I was a child. I love all animals and they love me. I'm patient and kind. I'm compassionate and genuinely take my time. I can be trusted with your family pet.

“Weilin was great with my kitties! She was professional, responsible, and so caring! I recommend her to every pet parents out there and will definitely come back for her service!”
About: I've always had dogs and crate trained my dogs. I know how to train basic commands but nothing really beyond that. I do love playing with dogs and also relaxing with them as well. I do work full time but I do work from home most of the week. So my schedule is pretty flexible for the most part. I have a fenced yard, and 4 friendly dogs. We do have 2 cats but they stay outside as they don't like our dogs. I make sure the the pet I babysit is comfortable and listen to instructions on the owners requests.
About: Hi, I’m Ethan! I’m 19 and I’m ready to make sure your pets are happy, healthy, and entertained under my care! I have had pets of my own since I was young and love animals. I am most experienced in cat and dog care (all ages), but can care for smaller animals as well! I am always ready and willing to learn your pet’s exact needs and wants in order to fulfill them. Though I have my own pets I am well experienced in taking care of other people’s as well! I have been providing pet and house care services for friends and family since my pre teen years- it’s something I’m passionate about! Thank you for reading and I hope to care for your fur baby soon! :) I just graduated (class of 2025) and am looking forward to making this my part time job during this gap year, and hopefully in the long run! I love animals/pets and helping others, and am ready to dedicate my time to this important work for you and your pets included! I am prepared to learn your pets needs no matter how simple or complex they are- my top concern is your pets happiness and health! I promise any instructions discussed and or left for your pets and home will be followed to a T! This includes pets who are particular about how things are done, such as walks, meal time, Potty breaks, and etc (such as my own pets are- lol!) I understand that being welcomed into somebody’s home and taking care of their fur babies is a privilege.
“I will definitely use Kelsee's services the next time we travel. She was always pleasant and flexible. I could not have asked for better. She gave us just enough contact with text and photos to keep us comfortable. We knew our 20-year-old cat was in good hands. She also kept the wild birds fed and potted plants watered. Thank you Kelsee!”
“Thank you Coralie! We were at ease knowing you were taking care of Tuna and Oatis while we were gone, and we loved seeing all the photos of the cats. Tuna clearly loves you 🥰 Hope to book you again next time!”
“I was out of town for two weeks and didn’t have anyone to take care of my dogs. I hired Gonzalo who had never met my dogs and he did great. He was a huge help he also takes and sends pictures with every visit which I liked a lot. I highly recommend his services.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 430 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Farmington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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. 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.
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 .

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 , 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.
