“Alexi was wonderful! She and River got along great, she was on time and communicative for every visit, overall a lovely and reassuring experience that eased our minds while we were away! Plus, the pics were adorable! Highly recommend!”
“Becky did a great job watching our 3 cats. We have never used Rover before, but decided to try it. Becky came over for a meet and greet to meet our kitties a few weeks before we left. Some of them are pretty shy, but they actually came out for her which was amazing. Becky showed up timely and was very reliable. I felt very comfortable, leaving our fur babies in her care.”
“We had such a great experience! She took amazing care of our cats while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated with messages and photos, which we really appreciated. It was obvious she genuinely cared about our cats and treated them with so much kindness and love. We came home to happy, well-cared-for kitties, and we couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and communicative!”
“Once again Lauren has come to my rescue. This time she was checking on my cat while I've been out of town and she did great. I will definitely be working with her in the future any time I can!”
About: I grew up with dogs, so caring for them is second nature to me. I am able to do basic grooming as well as bathing! I helped raise my family's current dog, taking her on walks as well as training her. I am not a certified trainer, but I had fun training her and found it relatively easy! I have experience with both large/extra large dogs as well as small dogs, with varying activity levels. I am currently home from college for summer break. I have church on Sunday mornings as well as karate Monday evenings, but other than that I am free to care for your fur babies! I am open and willing to adapt to the needs of your fur babies to the best of my ability. I have experience with fenced in yards and e-collars/invisible fences.
“Nick is always so great with our girls. Feebee can be a lot of energy to handle, an he has no problem playing with her and getting some of that energy out while we are gone. The level of care that goes into our dogs health and safety as well as the amazing communication makes rebooking a no brainer!”
“Theresa dropped in twice a day to care for our cat while we were on vacation for 6 days. Izzy is very shy around people he does not know but by the 3rd day he was very comfortable with Theresa. Throughout the week we looked forward to the pictures that Theresa would send us of him getting head rubs, following her around, eating and talking. Additionally she gave him fresh water, cleaned the litter box and even brought in our mail for us. She did an exceptional job and we will definitely use her again. Thanks Theresa!!!”
“Cammi was absolutely amazing to work with. She took excellent care of our special needs cat. Cammi was also an excellent communicator and took away any fears I had. I would book her again in a heart beat. Thank you so much, Cammi.”
“We highly recommend Sarah. She communicated with us all the time and sent photos. Most of all she was so accommodating when we ran into issues with our travel plans. We will definitely use her again if she's available”
About: I've taken care of various types of dogs, from pit bulls to toy poodles, and have also taken care of cats and turtles. I have experience with all essential needs including walking, feeding, and play time. I also have experience with basic grooming services such as bathing and brushing. I'm currently working part-time and have a fairly flexible schedule to fit your needs. I can be available on short notice including early mornings and late nights. I abide strictly by the pet parents instructions and rules, you know your pet best! I'm happy to play with your pup, go on leashed walks, and can crate them if needed.
“My boyfriend and I have never left our cats before. We haven't taken a trip since adopting them and it was definitely overdue. Finding Lydia was truly luck and fate because she is an angel! She was always on time and made sure they were taken care of. She sent beautiful pictures while watching them. Our cats looked so happy and comfortable around her. You can tell they also appreciated her kind heart and animal expertise :) My boyfriend and I are actually comfortable going on future vacations now that we have found Lydia. I would definitely recommend her for all your pet's needs. We will definitely book her again!”
“Aixa is so kind and just amazing with our dog and a true gem. She’s also very reliable and a great communicator. So glad we found her and it’s great to have peace of mind knowing that our dog is in such good hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing help with their pets.”
About: I've grown up in a compassionate and animal-loving family. Since I was six years old, I volunteered at cat and dog shelters, gaining experience walking, feeding, and cleaning up after rescued animals. I have experience with pets of all ages, having raised both puppies and kittens. I make time each day for feeding, fresh water, walks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also stay on top of any special needs, such as administering medications, following feeding schedules, or reinforcing training routines. My schedule is flexible enough to provide consistent care throughout the week, including weekends when needed, and I enjoy spending quality time with pets to help them feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own and tailor my approach to their individual needs and routine. In my clients' homes, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration if needed, and maintaining the pet's normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners know how their pets are doing. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Pets receive regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, and a consistent routine that matches their needs as closely as possible. My goal is to ensure every pet feels happy, safe, and loved while their family is away.
“Erin is a fantastic sitter for my kittens! She is friendly, knowledgeable, timely, and so good with animals. She is always quick to respond to messages and will go above and beyond to make sure you feel assured that your pets are happy and healthy. She also sent photos and videos, which I really appreciated, and left my house cleaner than I did! We can’t wait to book with Erin again!!”
About: I have had pets pretty much my entire life so I have plenty of experience, particularly with cats. My family is known as the neighbourhood pet sitters, watching dogs, cats, a hamster, and even a bearded dragon. I am a stay-at-home mom of older kids. That allows me plenty of flexibility to drop in for pet visits and dog walking as needed. Since I have my own vehicle, I can drop in easily to check on your baby (or babies). I love taking long walks, so if you have a dog who loves to walk, I am happy to go along for the ride.
“Ramya was wonderful! She did drop in visits with my cat for the weekend. She was responsive, sent great updates with pictures, and my cat really loved her! I would absolutely book with her 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! :)
This is our second time I’m using Madalyne to watch our three kitties. She watched them for three weeks while we went out of the country. Even our shy kitties warmed up to her and allowed her to actually pet them, which was amazing. She did a great job and we will definitely use her again.
Erin is a fantastic sitter for my kittens! She is friendly, knowledgeable, timely, and so good with animals. She is always quick to respond to messages and will go above and beyond to make sure you feel assured that your pets are happy and healthy. She also sent photos and videos, which I really appreciated, and left my house cleaner than I did! We can’t wait to book with Erin again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Farmington on Rover is $19.98 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,142 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Farmington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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 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.
