Nicole stopped by and let my babies out during lunch and sent pictures of them playing out side with huge smiles on their faces. It made my days so much easier.

Megan was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond in caring for our cats and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly cared about making sure everything was perfect. It's obvious she genuinely loves animals, and they loved her right back. We came home to happy cats and a well-cared-for home, which means the world to us. I wouldn't hesitate to book Megan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and exceptional sitter. Thank you, Megan, for everything!

Kassandra continually goes above and beyond every single time we go out of town, up to 3 weeks at a time. Our fur babies absolutely adore her as can be seen in the multiple photos she sends each visit. So thankful to have found her, we are repeat customers and will continue to use her for all of our pet needs as long as she’ll have us. ❤️❤️❤️

Katelyn was very friendly and attentive. She was kind enough to come and meet the dogs before our trip. There were several pictures of the dogs each day for us to see how well they were doing. She took really good care our three dogs. Our pups loved her.

She did a great job with my dogs Sutton and Chaz for weekend drop-ins! I honestly don’t know how she managed to walk both of them together, because Sutton can be a terrible walker, but I came home to two very happy dogs. Everything was taken care of, and it was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. I’d definitely recommend her!

About: I have been an animal lover since I was a baby. I’ve had around 10 dogs and cats throughout my life. Ozzie is my doggie right now. He’s lovely and I have been his parent for the last year. If you need someone who will not only take care of your pet but understand them I’m the ideal person for you. They’ll have fun while being safe and care for. I currently work from home. I’ll have plenty of time for your loved ones. My days off are Tuesdays and Sundays, therefore those days I’m not available for boarding. Any other day feel more than welcome to contact me! I live in 16 acres of beautiful grass, nature and plenty of space for your dog. Most of it is unfenced but I also have a fenced area. I’ll take care of your pet like it was my own baby. Either here at my home or yours! I have 10yrs+ of dogs and cats experience. I’m the best at this and you’ll have peace of mind like no other sitter can give.

About: I have been dog sitting or walking for the last seven years. Also, I worked for a dog daycare for about 2 years. I'm experienced in giving medication and getting stubborn dogs to eat their food. I'm comfortable walking any size or breed of dog. I will be available through the summer and possibly during the school year. The daily or weekly care depends on how many pets I'm caring for at a time. Between the end of August to the beginning of May, I can sit on the weekends. I do require a meeting with owners and the dogs before I dog sit. I'm comfortable to come to my clients home to care for them. If that is taking for a walk or just spending some time with them. I have two friendly beagles that love anyone and a fenced in back yard. I do have a crate of it is need.

About: I've grown up with animals my entire life and have been caring for them as long as I can remember. For the past three years, I've worked at a local animal shelter, giving me experience in caring for cats and dogs with a range of personalities and behavioral needs. I'm also comfortable giving medication to pets if needed. In addition, I have dog sat for family friends before, so I have experience in this type of care. I have also foster four different dogs that have all gotten adopted, so I'm used to many different personalities. I work part-time four days a week so I can easily find time to care for your animals around that! On Sundays and Mondays I can drop in before 7:30 am or after 12 pm and on Tuesdays and Fridays I can drop in before 2 pm or after 6pm. I am willing to do whatever fits your pet's routine during my drop in visits. I would love to spend time with them each day and make sure they have a great time while you're away. I can crate pets as needed. I'm very flexible on the type of care I'm asked to provide.

Mary worked so hard with Piper and we finally had a breakthrough! Our Piper is pretty stubborn, but Mary was so patient with her and finally was able to get Piper out of her shell. This is a huge accomplishment because Piper is still nervous around people since she is a rescue. We are so thankful and would highly recommend Mary.

Vicki was absolutely amazing with our diabetic cat, and we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Giving insulin and caring for a diabetic pet requires experience, patience, and attention to detail, and Vicki handled everything with confidence and compassion. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our cat’s well-being and treated him like one of her own. Knowing our cat was in such capable, loving hands allowed us to truly relax on our trip. We highly recommend Vicki to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and caring pet sitter, especially if your pet has special medical needs. We will definitely be booking with her again!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Farmington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Farmington on Rover is $17.62 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 12,768 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:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
