About: I have been an animal lover since childhood and a pet parent for many years. I will bring all my experience to taking care of your pets. As I have flexibility to work remotely I will be able to take care of your pets on weekdays and weekends. I have enough time for walks and playtime. I have an extremely friendly dog and a dog friendly cat. They will keep your pet company. There is sufficient space in the house to run around and play.
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.
“Stephanie did a fantastic job taking care of our two large dogs! She spent quality time with them, sent us pictures every day, took care of any messes and left our house nice and clean! I would highly recommend Stephanie and we will definitely call in her again.”
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.
About: There is no amount of words that I can use to describe my passion for our four legged furry friends. Each one of us chooses a dog based off of our characteristics.I love seeing the human-dog relationship. My dog Scout is now 8 and a rescued pure bred mutt! She is one of a kind. Dogs bring out my passion, they are such smart creatures. It is a blessing the Lord created them because I can not imagine a world without our precious friends in our lives. My love for dogs started when I was six, my grandma had a beautiful collie named Shadow, but I was his shadow: I followed him absolutely everywhere. I remember each christmas I would fall asleep with him under the christmas tree. Having to put him down was honestly the hardest and most saddening events that I can remember. They work their way into our hearts and families. I have taken care of many breeds of dogs from the smallest pomeranian to Chief the great dane! They do get quite pampered care with me I have to say. The owners I work with have all loved the care and passion I put into taking individual care of each other pets. Its like taking care of a child. No child is the same. You have to love and treat them each in their own special way to make them feel at home and protected. Every animal deserves the utmost care! I take pride in being able to say I truly love to make every dogs day a pampered one! I currently am working part time in my evenings as a caregiver for two young adults with physical and cognitive disabilities. So my day schedule is pretty open. Thursdays I work 10 to 7 but can work in a break in the day for your dog and then just feed before or after work. My dog scout is a princess, not overly fond of sharing her space, but that comes from her past as a rescue. So I am willing to care for your pup in their home environment. Helping them feel safe and loved when owners are away.
“Becky was a wonderful sitter for our two cats while we were away. She fed and played with them and sent us photos of the visit. She was also very quick to respond to all communications, and brought our mail inside even though I had forgotten to ask. Highly recommended.”
About: I’m a girl that enjoys spending my free time with furry friends! I have 10+ years of experience working pets of all kinds. Family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors rely on me for their pet sitting needs, and I have experience as a vet assistant, kennel technician, and veterinary receptionist. I am currently working on my undergrad to become a Veterinary Technician as well :) I am available for dog walking, house check-ins, potty time and bathing/nail trims on Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday's after 5pm. I have open availability for all services on Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday's. Caring for pets whether they're canines or felines in my home or at a client's home is very important. As always, they will have access to water at all times, receive their meals and medications (will be documented to keep track), and be loved as if they're my own. All pets will go potty regularly, spend time doing enrichment activities and go on walks to stretch their legs. Regarding our kitty friends, their litter boxes will be checked twice a day to ensure urine and bowel production, and they will receive the same care as our pups.
“Jessica was amazing, responded straight away and was very responsible, she took great care of Gizmo and went above and beyond of what was asked, I would definitely recommend her and will be using her again in the future. Thank you Jessica, so glad I found you 😁 Mandy B”
“This was the first time leaving our cats since we moved up here, and Madalyne was great! She was thorough in her notes and communicated often. Will def use her for our future cat-sitting needs!”
“Hannah was great with my two cats! One of my cats can be a bit shy, but Hannah charmed him very quickly. She was consistent, and I felt very comfortable, leaving them in her care. Great job.”
“Maria was available on short notice and did an amazing job. I was heading out of town and she not only came over for a meet & greet the night of the booking, but she was able to check in on my dogs over the upcoming weekend.”
“Erica is the absolute best. She is always on time and provides plenty of pictures and feedback about the visit. We travel a lot and have never had any concerns having Erica help take care of our dog. She brings peace of mind that everything is being taken care of and our little girl is happy.”
“Brit and her boyfriend are AMAZING! They are professional, extremely detailed with their reviews, and are so incredible with my dogs. My one dog is more difficult with strangers and my other dog is a love bug to everyone. They are mindful with my recommendations for Shelby and were not intimidated by her. Rather, they treat her with respect and lots of love, giving her space and allowing her to warm up to them on her terms. They are incredible and I can’t recommend them enough. Top notch for sure!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Farmington
Sarahcate was once again absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, communication was seamless. I received regular updates, detailed Rover cards, and plenty of great photos of my dog Buddy. It gave me total peace of mind knowing Buddy was in such caring and capable hands. Truly reliable, professional, and attentive. I will absolutely be booking Sarahcate again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-tier walker!
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!
This was our second time having Noah take care of our Dog, Ghost. I was so impressed with Noah the first time, he is an 'Exceptional Young Man". Very caring, always in communication with us while we are away, letting us know how Ghost is doing. Noah is very punctual and really loves animals, it shows in everything he does for Ghost. Thank You, so much Noah, for taking excellent care of Ghost for a second time! BB

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.
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.
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Farmington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
