Jade was wonderful with morning check-ins for our cat and giving her medication during a 10 day trip! She was incredibly thorough and sent tons of pictures and great updates. She even went above and behind to treat a stain on our couch after said cat decided to leave a hairball on it. Couldn’t have asked for more!!

About: I have had dogs my whole life. My job has been to feed them, give them water, clean up after them, take them for walks, and give them medication. I also currently have a senior dog, so I have some experience with them! I have experience with small and big dogs alike. I am a college student who is home for the summer, so I have full availability. During the school year, I will work around my class schedule. Evenings and weekends will be free for sure. We have a fenced yard at home. Still, I watch my dogs just in case. In spring/summer I check for ticks every time they go out. When we go on walks, I am always diligent when we pass another dog. If my dogs aren't up for walks, especially my senior dog, we go out into the backyard and play fetch or run around.

About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets including dogs, cats, and birds. While it has been quite a few years, I was a veterinary technician in high school and college. I love all animals and feel comfortable around dogs of all sizes. I am a second grade teacher looking to share my love of animals while earning extra income during the summer. I am a second-grade teacher with two high school children. I can be available most days during the summer due to my career. I am also available most afternoons/evenings during the school year. I will ensure any specific instructions are followed with care and accuracy and make your pet feel comfortable and loved. I can support the needs of both active and relaxed dogs, and love to provide a cozy lap and/or be a throwing companion for your furry family member.

Elizabeth was great! Our furkids loved her and she loved them! She gave them plenty of attention and followed all of the instructions left for her and sent a ton of great pictures which made us feel very comfortable having left them in her care! I hesitate to give such a good review because I don’t want everyone to book her up and make her too busy for us - but she was great!

Kelsey is wonderful. We knew Kelsey was a good match BUT we were 100% in when our two dogs were instantly relaxed with her . This is not the case more often than not for our Chi mix . Kelsey provides updates when she arrives and based on pictures she sends Milo and Lili are on totally board with their new friend. Even with current higher than normal temps, she is aware of the heat , pavement temp and keeping Lili and Milo in the shade so they do not overheat. Thank you Kelsey! This has been a huge help to us and we appreciate you taking good care of our furbabies. PS our cat, Waffles, seems to be passing on his overly rambunctious love to Kelsey also!!

Emily is a life saver! I have two somewhat high maintenance kitties that can’t be left alone when I travel. She feeds them and keeps me updated while I’m away with what’s going on. I have a special needs cat who sometimes has health issues and Emily makes sure to let me know if anything seems off or changes with her at all. She also is able to keep up with my very rambunctious kitten - which is definitely a lot!

About: I currently have two cats and a senior dog. I recently took in a stray and have learned all about how to acclimate new cats to a new home and how to acclimate him to the resident cat. I love animals and can assure you that I will take care of your animals like they are my own. My most recent experience is with a senior dog I've had for the past 4 years but I've taken care of dogs for family of all ages and energy levels. I work in an elementary school, I am working part-time until school starts up again but have open availability until the end of August 2025. I am a very active person and will be ready for an energetic dog that needs to walk. I am excellent at taking directions from the parents of the pets and will do my best to make sure they have everything they need, whether that be a walk, play stimulation, regular feedings, or light grooming.

About: Hi! I love animals and have years of experience caring for pets. My very first job was walking my neighbor's dog every day after school throughout middle and high school. Since then, I've trained my own dog, regularly pet sat for neighbors, and have volunteered and advocated for animal welfare. One of my favorite activities is animal yoga—I’ve been to both puppy yoga and goat yoga! I'm currently starting medical school, and while my career is focused on caring for people, I've always had a passion for caring for animals. You can count on me to be responsible, attentive, and patient. I'll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members, and I'd love the opportunity to give you that peace of mind. I'm currently in my gap year before starting medical school, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I also work part-time at a restaurant, which gives me flexibility during the day. I love spending time outside, so dog walks and outdoor play are something I genuinely enjoy. Caring for pets is the perfect way for me to spend my free time while helping owners. I always do my best to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable while you're away. I'm experienced with walking dogs, feeding, refilling water, crating when needed. At home, my dog enjoys daily walks and time playing in our fenced-in yard, so I understand how important exercise is. I will always make sure your pets get the love and care they need. I am also happy to keep you updated with photos and messages.

Nicola was a HUGE help coming on short notice to check on our critters while away. She had no problem with my lengthy list which included feeding and watering the chickens. She was quick to communicate and sent pictures showing me that everything was taken care of according to my wishes. Great job Nicola!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Farmington on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 1,225 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Farmington. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
