“Thank you for hanging with Sasha, Sadie and now Winston , for the second time . They love having you. You are dependable and always willing to work with our schedule .”
About: Hi! I’m Kari, a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to two Australian Shepherds. 🐾 I’ve grown up around dogs and have always had a natural love for animals, so caring for pets is something that genuinely brings me joy. I’m active, dependable, and attentive, and I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some playtime, companionship while you’re away, or simply a little extra love and attention, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m also very comfortable with high-energy dogs and enjoy keeping active pups entertained and exercised! As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can completely trust with your furry family members. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away and make sure your pets get plenty of love, attention, and care. I’ll treat your pets the same way I’d want someone to treat mine. ❤️ I work part-time so I can offer plenty of playtime to your furry friends! Overnights - available Friday-Sunday Any other service - any time Sat, Sun & Monday or after 3pm Tuesday-Friday. I will do whatever you prefer to ensure your cat/dog is safe & comfortable. I can crate them if necessary or secure them in a specific location in the house as well.
“Jade is so amazing, I cannot reccomend her more highly. I book her every time I go out of town. She takes the time to get to know each cat's quirks and loves them on their terms. The peace of mind she gives is priceless.”
“Elizabeth was great! We were in the area from out of state for a wedding. We were also first time Rover users. Elizabeth walked us through the process, was an excellent communicator, and took great care of our dogs. We highly recommend her and if we lived in the area, would use her services again.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 12 and have experience with all kinds of personalities and ages, from puppies to senior dogs with medical needs. I currently have a senior dog myself, so I’m very patient, attentive, and comfortable with extra care routines. Friends and family always count on me first for pet sitting because I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like my own. I also have experience caring for cats and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is extremely flexible, so I’m able to accommodate all kinds of pet care needs including walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, puppy care, and senior pets who need extra attention. I make sure pets feel comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or a client’s home, they’ll get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day.
“Midas was awesome and went out of their way to get additional food for my cats when I ran out. Would definitely use them again for my babies. Great sitter!!! 🩷”
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats solely since I was 11 years old. We got both my cat and dog when they were just babies, and I cared for them into their senior years as well. I administered pills for both, and general young, teen, adult, and senior care. I also grew up watching both cats and dogs for friends and family! Your pet will be in great care of someone who treats them like family 🤍 I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability during the week, so I'm happy to work around your pet's usual routine! I'm available for walks and drop in visits on both weekdays and weekends. While I'm not available for overnight stays or weekend house sitting, I'd be happy to stop by throughout the day to make sure your pets get plenty of care, attention, and company while you're away. I have two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe and well cared for while you're away! To keep my own cats comfortable and stress free, I provide care in my clients' home rather than bringing pets into my apartment. With that said, I treat your home with the same respect as my own, and I'll always follow your instructions and your pets usual routine. I'm also happy to provide updates so you know how your pet is doing while you're away. Depending on needs, I'm happy to take dogs for walks, let them outside, give them food and fresh water, clean up after them, play and give them company and attention. For cats, I can take care of feeding, fresh water, litter boxes, playtime, and cuddles... or personal space if that's what they prefer 🐾
“Caroline is an amazing cat sitter. She took care of my cat, made her feel safe, fed her and kept her area clean. She made the whole experience great. I would highly recommend her.”
“I was very nervous to use an app like this since I’m trusting someone with my babies… but Julie put me at ease and was amazing. Both of my kitties were super happy and well taken care of. 10/10 would book again.”
“We will definitely be using Callan in the future! We just adopted a 1-2 year old pup with separation anxiety. Callan was very responsive and very sweet. Our pup loved having a visitor!”
“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!!”
“Jacqueline was wonderful with our older cat! He got lots of attention and played a bit too, and Jacqueline gave us thorough reports. I'm so glad he was in good hands while my husband and I were away. We'll definitely use Jacqueline's services again!”

“Bethany truly went above and beyond for a last-minute drop-in after a schedule change kept us out of town overnight. Not only were our pets taken care of as asked, but they were played with, loved on, and our home was left better than we left it - with dishes and feeding mats washed and cleaned and litter boxes checked and attended to. We were truly blown away and so grateful after a long day. We feel completely confident in this sitter’s abilities and will absolutely be return clients.”
“Olivia was very communicative, friendly, and did great with Yoshi and the cats! All the animals warmed up to her right away and she was able to manage Yoshi’s ridiculous puppy energy really well! Looking forward to booking with her again!”
“Jan and Jamie were great during their drop-ins with our cat and we're respectful to my home during the visit. Would highly recommend their services and reach out again in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Farmington
Maria (and her boyfriend) was a life saver when my partner and I had to leave for the weekend last minute and couldn't bring our pup with us. Despite Hiccups timid behavior and constant barking, Maria was very patient with her and eventually became fast friends with Hiccup once our timid pup realized Maria meant no harm. Maria and her boyfriend were so sweet to Hiccup and sent such adorable photos that let us feel comfortable knowing our pup was in great company. She was very thorough with her visits as Hiccup did require medications and even reached out about our turtle and asked if she should feed it which was just so kind and thoughtful of her. If I could give Maria more than 5 ⭐ I definitely would. Definitely recommend her to anyone who needs their pet(s) taken care of and maybe they'll gain a new bestie just like Hiccup did 😁 A job well done!
Last minute dog care and she was wonderful! She even helped pick up some items that fell outside the house due to a storm while we were away. Plus she communicated anything that she had concerns about our house we were out of town. Very detailed reports and cute pictures of our doggie :) 100% recommend and definitely use her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Farmington on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,584 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Farmington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Farmington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Farmington. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
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.
