About: I have always loved caring for animals, my pets or not. I have more experience with cats and dogs, and can work with reptiles, amphibians, and birds as well. I used to own my pet sitting business, exclusive to my former apartment complex. I have cared for animals with various health issues and am comfortable taking on the extra responsibility. I am adaptable to how you love your pet. I work from home but I do have a flexible schedule. I could on very rare occasion, host your pet. I am available Sunday, Thursday-Saturday. I am consistent with schedules and I am punctual. I am adaptable to how you care for you pet, plus some extra love. I am very mindful of any specific type of pet and I do research before each sit. I am loving and also respectful is the pet is not affectionate.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. I grew up on a farm, and at one point we had 12 indoor dogs, from tiny Yorkies to Great Danes. They were never “just pets” to us; they were family, and that’s how I’ve always believed animals should be treated. I’ve also cared for cats and have experience dog sitting, so I’m comfortable looking after pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll care for yours the same way I’d care for my own. I take classes two days a week and spend the rest of my time at home, so I have a flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention and care. I'm also available most weekends, making it easy to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for by following their usual routine as closely as possible. I'll follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions provided by the owner and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I don't have any pets of my own at the moment, so I truly enjoy spending time with animals and giving them the love and companionship they deserve. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Taylor did such a great job with our 2 crazy furries! She updated me on their visit and sent pictures - definitely helps mom feel at ease when away ? thanks, Taylor!”
“This is my first time using Rover. Elizabeth did a great job taking care of our dog while we were out of town. We received photos on each visit. When she noticed a possible issue with him, she notified us immediately which was appreciated.”
About: I’m majoring in business and I own a long haired chihuahua. I’ve cared for neighbor’s and family’s dogs in the past by walking and dog sitting. I’m on a very flexible schedule, so most times during week days I will be able to walk your dog! I’m excited to take them on walks :) For dog walking, I like to make sure we walk in areas with sidewalks that are safe. I’d bring water to keep your dog hydrated, especially if it is warm out!
About: I have taken care of dogs professionaly for the past two years. throughout this time I had plenty of experience working with all kinds of dogs, from puppies to seniors and small to large! I am currently working full time 9-5:30 M-F, but am more than willing to take visits before or after my shifts, as well as on the weekends. I enjoy spending time with animals and it is always the highlight of my day! When I offer services for clients and their pets, something I will do every single time is rinse and refill their pets water. If needed, I will give the pet food or treats as requested by the owner. If there is a mess or accident I will clean it right away!

Monday to Thursday, 5-7 pm Working Friday 5-7 pm Off Friday (Every other Friday), 9am - 5pm Weekend, 9am - 5pm My schedule is flexible on holidays if I am not traveling. I will follow the rules or requirements from the owners to take care of pets. I will keep the living area of pets as clean as possible.
“LeAnna is kind and caring. She took excellent care of my cats. Both are shy, but came out to greet her. I loved getting the pictures. Everything was neat and clean. I came home to relaxed kitties.”
“Arden did a wonderful job taking care of our cats while we were out of town. She is clearly an animal lover and went above and beyond what was necessary, taking the time to get to know our cats, make them feel comfortable with her, and even spent time playing with them. She is an excellent communicator and was very patient when I caused some issues with her access to our house. She was even nice enough to bring some packages in for us. Arden will be our first choice for a pet sitter going forward!”
“Colleen was able to do a drop in visit very short notice for my dog, who can be nervous around new people and she did a great job! Really helped me out short notice which is so appreciated, and even sent me photos of my dog during the drop in visit. She responded quick and was very professional and kind. I will 100% be a repeat customer, and highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone to dog sit.”
“My first time using Rover. Have a Corgi and Havanese and needed someone to let them out once a day during the work week, a reoccurring schedule.Andrew responded quickly to set up a meet and greet. MEET & GREET - The Havanese is more hesitant and nervous. As soon as Andrew came through the door she was right there at his legs. We went outside with the dogs where we spoke about Rover and he interacted with both dogs. They were surrounding and running around for him to play. We eventually came back inside. We sat in family room and both dogs were still wanting to play with him. The Havanese was on his lap and ready to give kisses. ONE WEEK of SERVICE - more than I expected. Andrew always on time, fed them, always commented on what ladies did during potty break, cleaned up after them and he played with them. He calls them furry tornadoes. I laugh as they are busy bodies. I am VERY happy with my experiences with Andrew. I feel fortunate to have him for the ongoing weekly occurrences.”
About: I’ve been caring for and pet sitting dogs since I was 20, with experience caring for a variety of breeds, including Great Pyrenees, Australian Shepherds, and Brittanys/Pit mixes. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs I have a busy work schedule, but I’m great at planning ahead and making time for the pets I care for. I build pet care into my daily routine so they get the attention, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles they need. I’m dependable, organized, and flexible when it comes to sticking to your pet’s normal routine. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced-in home, providing a secure space for pets to enjoy some fresh air and playtime. My home is also equipped with an alarm system and security cameras, adding an extra layer of safety and peace of mind. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I treat every pet like my own and want you to feel confident knowing they’re safe, happy, and in good hands while you’re away.
“I enthusiastically recommend Brit! We have a 20-year old cat with dementia and some vision loss, and normally I'd hesitate to leave her with someone she doesn't know. Brit was very responsive to my texts throughout the weekend, and she kept us updated on her visits with notes and pictures. We arrived home to find a calm and obviously very well cared for kitty! I'd happily hire Brit again!”
About: I provide attentive, warm, and trustworthy care for your dog’s routine. Whether it’s high-energy walks, daily playtime, or just quiet companionship, I ensure your pet feels loved and secure. I pride myself on being responsible, punctual, and maintaining clear communication so you have complete peace of mind. Since I work a main job during the day, pet sitting fits smoothly into my schedule on weekdays after 4:00 PM. I love using that time for evening play and walks! For weekends, I have open availability and can easily adjust my hours according to your pet’s needs. I offer in-home pet care at the client’s house. I keep your dog happy, safe, and comfortable in their familiar surroundings by following their daily routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. Being in their own home helps them stay relaxed and stress-free
“Jessica took such great care of our sweet giant dog. We so appreciate the detailed communication, the thoughtful questions and accommodating the dynamic needs of our pup. She went up and beyond, thank you!”
“Kristina has watched our babies twice so far. She is definitely trustworthy and caring with them. She is on time and sends us cute pictures which helps ease our minds knowing they're safe. Our English Bulldog is a bit shy and skittish, and she definitely warmed up to her right very quickly! I highly recommend Kristina”
“Was very pleased with Laura. My one dog never warms up to anyone. She loved Laura. Will definitely use Laura again. It was nice knowing that our first vacation after my daughter’s death went so well.”
About: I have been training and taking care of my own dogs for 25 years now and have dog/house sat for many of my friends and family members as well. My sister was a vet technician and she taught me a lot about proper training of puppies. I have always been a dog person. I often dog/house sit for my own family members and friends when they go on vacation. I always worry about finding a trustworthy person to watch my own dog when going on vacation, so I know how important providing these services are.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Farmington
I cannot say enough good things about Tricia. I had never used Rover before and honestly never planned to, as I have always relied on friends and family to care for Nash. Nash is nervous around new people and has significant separation, and is currently on crate rest, so his care is a little more complicated than a typical drop-in. Tricia has completely gone above and beyond. She is extremely responsive, follows my instructions, provides updates and photos, and has even made thoughtful suggestions to help with his anxiety. Most importantly, Nash is incredibly comfortable with her. You can genuinely tell that Tricia loves dogs and truly cares about them, so seeing how relaxed my dog is with her, especially given his situation, gives me so much peace of mind. I have already used her several times within the past week and will absolutely continue to use her as my go-to-sitter. If you are reading this review wondering if you should book Tricia, just do it. You won't regret it!
Edimari is extremely sweet and professional when it comes to taking care of your pup! She helped me on short notice when I was leaving the country, and helped keep my anxious dog happy and healthy while I was gone. She went above and beyond for me doing drop in visits while also ensuring my house was in order. She is reliable, punctual and had great communication while I was away. I could not be more happy with the service she provided!! Thank you again Edimari and I will definitely be booking you again.
Lauren was EXCELLENT! Sometimes when I'm not home my little old lady dog refuses to eat, but Lauren got her to eat almost her full bowl every meal! And, bless her heart, I'm worried about letting my dogs out at night because of a skunk in my yard... Lauren went out there every night with the flashlight and made noise to scare the skunk away. She truly went above and beyond! She is very knowledgeable about animals of all kinds and she was super sweet. My dogs absolutely loved her. We will definitely be booking her again. Thank you Lauren!
Aixa, was very responsive and made a special trip to meet me and Luna that Saturday before her appointment. Luna takes a while to get used to new people and Aixa was very patient with her and able to coax Luna into her harness and take her for a long walk. Aixa sent very detailed updates and even video footage! I will definitely use her again!

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.
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!
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.

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 .
