“Rohit is a great guy and really knows what he's doing when it comes to shelter animals. It's clear he loves dogs and cats and understands how to care for them. His visits with Munchkin were timely, communicative, and helped us be at ease regarding her well-being while we were away.”
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.
“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!”
“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”
“Theresa was awesome. She made sure our fur baby was taken care of, and we greatly appreciate her communication, kindness, and professionalism. Highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“Aixa is amazing! Great communication, which puts us at ease while we’re at work. Our dogs were so happy when we got home from their walk and playtime with Aixa. I would highly recommend to anyone in the area looking for a great & nice person to look after their dogs!”
“Sarah is the best , she went over and above for my fur baby, she came and did a meet and greet, from that moment I felt her spirit and energy was truly and genuinely the best fit for my fur baby.”
About: I have had dogs in my life for many years now! I adore dogs. My family has own three goldens, one German Shepard, and one black lab! I’ve cared for them my whole life, including feeding, bathing, playing with them, working on training, etc. I work part-time until school starts in the fall. I have tons of time to see and play with your babies! I have my own form of transportation so I’m accessible at all times of the day! I will always make sure to ask questions when I’m not sure on something because I know how nerve racking it can be to leave your baby with someone you don’t know. I will also always double check any instructions to make sure I’m doing things perfectly to ensure nothing goes wrong. I am always up for playing with them and cuddling whenever they allow me to.

About: We have been life long animal lovers - raising a combined 30+ animals (both domestic and farm). We recently lost our 2 dogs, after raising them from puppies and cherishing every moment! Now with our kids, we've decided the best way to fill our hearts is by helping care for other families' beloved pets. With years of hands-on experience (and the added insight of having a father who's a large & small animal veterinarian), we bring both loving care & extra peace of mind to every walk, play session, and cuddle. We have two adults who work full-time from home, so our availability and presence within the house is very flexible. Our children are school aged (Kindergarten & 1st Grade) so they are home during non-school hours. The largest animals we have owned are Rottweilers down to most recently a Pomeranian, so experience in safety is vast! We have a fully fenced in yard (or fenced in deck if your animal prefers to be off the grass) - both offer plenty of shade for potty breaks outside. We have a dedicated dog room for safe sleep and rest - which is on the same floor as our normal living area and primary bedroom. We definitely consider pets & animals to be an extension of family and are treated as so - with attention and free roam of the home and furniture.
“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!”
About: Hi, I am your pet's next best friend! My friends even call me Snow White because I adore animals of all sizes. I have spent my whole life with dogs and bring a lifetime of personal experience. Plus, as a rescue volunteer, I have fostered, trained, and found forever homes for many dogs. Your pet's safety, health, and happiness are my top goals. I promise to love them like my own and send plenty of fun photo updates! I cannot wait to meet your fur babies! Send a message today to book a meet-and-greet. I typically have a very flexible daily schedule, so I am able to tailor your pets care for their specific needs! I'm usually available daily between 10 am-8 pm. I understand that safety is your top priority for your pet when leaving them with me. I have experience working with many different types of animal temperaments. I aim to keep pets calm, happy, and stress-free so we don’t find ourselves in an unsafe position.
“Merritt was AWESOME with our little girls, Roxy and Jessie! Thank you very much, Merritt for being so reliable and sweet with them. You helped us get Jessie acclimated in her first month home from rescue! We will definitely call on you again in the future.”

Pet 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!
Beatrice once again came to my rescue and took wonderful care of my sweet, senior cat. Every time we leave town I live in hope that Beatrice is available (which she typically is). She's communicative, kind, easy to work with, and fantastic with our cat. I recommend her unreservedly to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
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!!
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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 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 4,486 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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
