“Amber went above and beyond for our senior dog the two weeks we were gone. She put socks on his feet daily to keep him from sliding on our floor, gave him his pain medicine, took him on several walks a day, and was a fantastic companion for him. I have raved about her to our neighborhood and they are already booking her and giving the same praise.”
About: I’m a mom to 4 rambunctious children and 1 kid friendly chihuahua(14) and 1 loving husky pit mix(1). When most people meet my dog they are surprised at how friendly he is and how good he is with our young children. We used to have two dogs but we had to put older one down due to seizures and brain issues. In high school I worked in an army veterinary clinic as a veterinary assistant for a cooperative work experience program. My original plan in life was to be a veterinarian but after having to assist with some tough cases I decided just being a good pet owner and caregiver was more my speed. I’m a full time stay at home mom and love playing with my dogs and kids in my spare time. I’d love to help you care for your fur baby as well. I’m pretty flexible. I’m home days once I get my kids get off to school during the day. In the evenings and on weekends I take them to their respective practices or games but that doesn’t mean I don’t have time to care for and give your fur baby some love as well. I like to take my fur babies for about a mile walk in the morning and then my younger pup will go on another half mile walk with me in the after noon. My older guys stays home and chills but he gets lots of love and snuggles at home.
“Lily was fantastic and we would absolutely book her again in the future. She was a superb communicator, kept us updated throughout the day, and sent lots of pictures. She ensured that our pups stayed on their normal schedules and provided lots of love to each of them. Lily even provided attentive care to our senior pup who was on the mend with a paw infection while we were away. Our younger pup thoroughly enjoyed his multiple walks a day as well. She also left our home spotless upon our return as well. My husband and I highly recommend Lily for your booking!”
“Sabrina was a wonderful pet sitter .She has enough experience with animals and works well with my pets. She gave my dog medicine and did wound care ! Cleaned the house !! Great pet sitter .”
About: I provide quality service that meets your specific needs. Including washing your dishes, taking your trash out, and brining in your mail! I am very understanding. I will always try to work around your schedule on short notice. I accept same day cancellations! Currently a part time pharmacy technician and college student! Currently in school pursuing a radiology technologist degree. But will always make time for your pets!! I will always try my best to work around YOUR schedule 💕 I have a fenced yard and have a friendly dog of my own. I am always happy to stay over at a client’s house if needed.
About: I've loved dogs my entire life! In my 20s, my family members, friends and colleagues all knew me to be their "go-to" dog sitter. I looked forward to every opportunity I had to love on someone's fur baby! Due to my living situation at the time, I was not able to have a dog of my own. My heart baby, a Pomeranian named Myles, passed in May 2026. He was 15.5 years old, and my spoiled only child. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your beloved fur child as if he/she were my own. For drop ins and overnight house sitting, I am able to sit for dogs over 25 pounds as long as they can be let out in a fenced backyard and does not require walks. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns. I look forward to hearing from you, and meeting your fur child! My schedule is fairly flexible, with the exception of being unavailable on Sundays. Regarding "drop-ins", if you need someone to "sit" with your fur baby for a longer period of time in your home, I am available for that as well. My fur baby, Myles, had separation anxiety, so we would have someone "sit" with him if we're away from home for more than 4+ hrs at a time. Feel free to reach out to me. I will be sure to care for your fur baby as if he/she is one of my own. Please let me know what his/her individual likes or dislikes are, etc.
“Alyssa took care of our cat and dog when my family and I were out of town. Alyssa was great, gave our pets lot of love and attention. She communicated very well and we were very happy with the care of our pets. We will definitely use Alyssa again.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats through the years since I was 3years old. Im gentle and loving and treat all pets like my own making sure they are cared for, loved, and I communicate with pics/ videos of ur pets happy and being cared for when they are anxious without their human. I work 3 days a week in Sugar Hill ga. I’m free on the weekends and off any two days during the weekday. I’m a homebody and a hiker if your dog needs some activity:) if something is damaged or if I notice weird activity with a pet, I will communicate it to the owner. I make sure the house was just as clean as it was left to me. I build trust by showing pictures and videos through out the day. I treat every pet as my baby, even if it’s an old baby lolol
“Abby did an amazing job! She is prompt with her responses and is an excellent communicator. She kept us updated with our dogs and our home and even helped troubleshoot our AC after a brief power outage. She was patient and understanding through it all! She took excellent care of our home and left it cleaner than we left it haha. I would highly recommend her and will be using her again!”
“Leah is absolutely amazing!! She is so kind and very thoughtful. She took such great care of our pets and our house while we were gone. 100% plan on rebooking with her for our next trip!!”
“Serenity took wonderful care of our animals just as requested. She came a day before to meet them, was on time, and our dog took to her immediately. Would definitely rebook with her in the future is needed!”
“This was our first time using George, and it definitely won't be the last. He provided exceptional care for our energetic golden retriever, and even gave him a bath when the rain made a few tempting mud puddles. He is a vet assistant, so I'm sure he gave a more efficient bath than we do. He was very conscientious about sending daily updates and pictures, and our pup seemed happy and not stressed when we got home. We really lucked out with George!”
“Reese was amazing! Very attentive to instructions. Great communication skills. Went above & beyond the call of duty. Great with my two exotic cats who need alot of attention. A delicate situation with one kitten & a nervous adult cat. I came back from my vacation and the cats were happy and healthy and calm like I never left. I highly recommend Reese.”
About: I grew up on a local farm in Georgia, so animals and animal care have been a part of my life for as long as I remember. Growing up, I had several cats and dogs! I currently live in Woodstock, Georgia with my amazing miniature dachshund named Butters. I dog sit for friends and family all the time and will treat your fur babies like my own :) I have a hybrid work schedule. I am only in office two days a week being Tuesday and Wednesday. Besides that my schedule is open as long as my availability is there. I live in a nice complex in Woodstock. There are dog parks in my community. Some would say my own dog is the most spoiled dog ever, I over care and aim to make your fur baby feel right at home!
“The few times we had left Jamie was always with a close friend (through their dog) so we were a bit nervous in leaving him with anybody. We did a meet and greet with Summer and in just a few minutes of interaction she dispelled any concerns we might have. She always wanted to know what we want and expect and never told us this was "her way". Communications and images were much more than we could have ever expected. Jamie was in good and loving hands. We and Jamie now look forward to our next trip.”
“Had a last minute family emergency and Aubrey was willing to step in on short notice. Took good care of my dog and most importantly communicated well in terms of how my dog was doing and in addition when she wanted to take my dog somewhere asked first. I had no issues with that and my dog had a good time but asking first for things like that is important.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Farmington is $50

Lily was absolutely wonderful with Clover! My girl has some anxiety and can take a little time to warm up to new people, but Lily was so patient and intentional about making her feel comfortable and coaxing her out of her shell. She communicated throughout my trip, sent pictures and updates, and never hesitated to ask questions the moment they came up, which I really appreciated! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Clover was not only comfortable in her own home but also had a new friend in Lily. I could tell Clover was happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away. I’m so grateful for the love and attention Lily gave her, and we will absolutely be using her again in the future! Highly recommend!
Alexis did an awesome job with our pets (two dogs and a cat)! She sent pictures and/or videos daily. My cat indoor/outdoor wouldn’t come home one night and she stayed outside until my cat was found! That was a huge relief to me while I was gone on vacation. My house was clean when I got home, including washing the used bedding and towels. I will use Alexis again in the future.
This was our first time leaving our dog at home with a sitter instead of boarding. It went great and Verna did a great job! Honey was happier and we could enjoy our vacation knowing she was being well taken care of. Verna communicated with us each day and let us know Honey was doing great and eating. We would definitely love to use Verna again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Farmington is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $54 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.
As of October 2026, there are 4,430 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
