“This was our first time having Madalyne watch our three kitties. We have a few shy cats and they managed to come out for Madalyne which was really amazing. She took really good care of everybody and sent some pictures. I would highly recommend.”
“Cammi was terrific! She took such good care of our two kitties, playing with them every day and sending us pics and notes about how they were doing. She also cheerfully cleaned up a hairball and brought in our mail. We’re glad we found Cammi and will definitely book her again!”

I very much appreciate Brit's willingness to be flexible with last-minute schedule changes and that she communicates with us regularly. She clearly loves working with pets, and I highly recommend her.”

Kelsey shared lots of photos and updates to make sure we could relax on vacation knowing our cat was safe and comfortable. I highly recommend Kelsey for your Rover needs!”

I’m a committed person to jobs and take them very seriously. I am an avid walker and love the outdoors! I’m used to picking up and cleaning any vomit after my pets and have become extremely numb to it! Nothing can gross me out! I work about 35-40 hours a week and I commit myself to working hard and being present, so by scheduling with me please be reminded that while I am extremely busy, I am very responsible and always do my best! Animals are close to my heart and when I’m dog sitting, dog walking, I’m not “working”. It’s a great way to relieve stress and also keep active! I also love to help out and meet new doggies/kitties.

My home has a fenced in backyard and we also have a very walkable neighborhood. Our community is very safe and clean as well as my house. Our basement is the perfect indoor space for pets of any size so they can have their very own room in the house, but of course they are welcome anywhere.

We have space indoors and outdoors for any pet and I pride myself on being a very attentive caregiver.

“Haley did a very good job of taking care of my little girl. I got a picture and an update every day along with my Rover card, which made me feel a lot better.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Farmington
Tricia did a wonderful job taking care of our cats while we were away. She really took the time to get to know them, which meant a lot to us. She was dependable, attentive and sent regular updates and photos so we always knew how they were doing. It gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were gone and we would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!
We absolutely loved having LeAnna take care of our cats! She was so sweet and caring with all of them, and we really appreciated that she was comfortable giving our senior cat her medication. It made being away so much easier knowing they were in such good hands. She kept us updated and we could tell our cats were happy and well taken care of when we got home. We would definitely have LeAnna watch them again!
Maria was wonderful with my two kitties! She was friendly, responsive, and stopped by for check-ins while we were away. She followed all of the instructions I left, and my cats have quite a few gadgets (a Litter Robot, microchip feeders, etc.), which wasn’t a problem for her at all. Most importantly, my super shy kitty (who never comes out for strangers) came out to see her right away! I was so happy that he felt comfortable with her, especially since he gets extremely anxious when we’re away. He’s had sitters in the past who never see him because he likes to hide, yet he was eating treats out of her hand. I would absolutely recommend Maria and would happily book with her again! :)

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Farmington is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 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.

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 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.

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 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.
