“Madison was great and went above and beyond during her visits. Our Cat Mocha is doing great and things are in order, we did not have any issues or questions . We will definitely keep her in mind for the upcoming trips/plan, as well as refer her to others. We really appreciate Madison's help. The whole process was very smooth. Thanks Rover and Madison!”
About: I have had pets and have been around animals my whole life. I have pet sit dogs of all sizes. I don’t mind cleaning up after accidents lol. I have experience taking pups to their grooming appointments. If you have any special requests such as administering meds let me know. I am currently a college student studying pre-med. I also have a part-time job that is very flexible, so if you notify me in advance I can definitely accommodate. I am pretty much completely free throughout the holiday season. It all depends on the pet. I am very accommodating. I like playing with the energetic pups, but I also love cuddling with the shy ones too. If it’s a drop in, i’ll pass by 3-4 times a day for an hour or so.
“Katie has been amazing with our house full of pets, providing regular care for several months now, from quick check-ins to short visits to overnight stays to longer stays while we are away. Katie has been INCREDIBLY kind and supportive during our present and difficult time of loss as we’ve recently had to say goodbye to our beloved 12-year-old dog Bastian. Her empathy and understanding has been such a comfort for us, and she has gone far above and beyond to make us - and our remaining pack of cats and dogs - feel supported and well cared for. She even took time out of her busy schedule to come and say a personal and heartfelt goodbye to our beloved Mr. B. He was overjoyed to see her, even in his final (painful) days, because of the sweet relationship they’d built over time. I cannot possibly recommend Katie more highly. 💛”
“Tara took such good care of our Cat! Right from the start she communicated well with us and provided expert care for our older cat who needs medication twice daily. We could see in the photos he enjoyed her visits and playtime. He was calm and relaxed when we returned home. Tara went above beyond!”
“Chloe is always so wonderful to have do drop in visits for my cats while I’m out of town. She’s extremely reliable and very communicative. I appreciate her every time she stops in and always look to her first to rebook.”
“Sarah saved the day with a last-minute pet sit for our cats, and they absolutely loved her! She was super flexible, kept us updated, and took fantastic care of our furry crew while we were away. We could tell our cats were completely relaxed and happy around her. We highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!”
“This was Augies first time meeting Ella, and he was a happy camper! He got a great walk and a few treats. He loved spending time with her! Her communication was wonderful, and she sent great pictures of what was going on throughout the visit! Highly recommend!”
“Sherri was wonderful with our dogs while we vacationed in Mexico. She arrived on time, treated my pups as her own, and looked after all their needs. I will not hesitate hiring Sherri when we plan our next vacation. Thank you Sherri!”
About: Hi! I'm Kate, a lifelong dog lover based in Woodstock, Georgia. My husband and I share our home with three spoiled pups—Scout, Olive, and Frank—who are truly part of our family. Caring for them has taught me that every dog has their own personality, routine, and unique needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply sticking to a familiar routine, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm naturally organized, dependable, and communicative, so you'll always receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication throughout your pet's stay or visit. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your pet behind, and I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing they're being treated like one of my own. Safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests to make your pet's experience as stress-free as possible. I have experience caring for: • Puppies • Senior dogs • Large breeds • Multiple dogs at once • High-energy dogs • Dogs with special routines I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! I'm currently home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I can easily accommodate your pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. Whether your pup enjoys being active or prefers relaxing at home, I'll make sure they receive personalized care and lots of love while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. We have a secure, fully fenced backyard for supervised play and three friendly, well-socialized dogs. I carefully introduce dogs based on temperament and can easily separate pets or use crates if preferred or needed. I follow each owner's care instructions closely, maintain a clean and safe environment, and provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your furry family member is doing. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and at home from the moment they arrive.
About: I've always loved animals and dogs especially. I have experience with different sizes and breeds of dogs. I'm dependable, attentive, and treat every pet like they are a part of my family! My schedule is flexible, and I'm happy to worth with you to accommodate your pet's routine. I am available during the weekdays and weekends! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether it is in their own home or mine. At mine I have a fenced in yard, one sweet dog to play with and two kids.
“Violeta & Georgi are the best! They are so wonderful to our pups and went above and beyond by bringing in mail, etc. Its a vacation for our pets as well as us!”
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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Farmington is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $31 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 7,023 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Farmington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
