âTheresa did an great job taking care of our dogs while we were away. She stopped by five times over the week to feed them and let them out, and everything went smoothly. Her communication was outstandingâshe kept us updated and gave us peace of mind the entire time. It was clear our dogs were well cared for and comfortable. We would absolutely recommend Theresa to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy dog sitter.â

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.
About: While Iâve never had a dog of my own, Iâve hosted several friendsâ dogs in my home over the years. I love getting to know their unique personalities and making them feel comfortable and loved. Iâll make sure your pup feels right at home while youâre away! My schedule is currently very flexible, so I can accommodate most pet care needs and adjust to your pupâs routine. Iâm happy to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout their stay! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while respecting their routines and personalities. Iâm happy to accommodate special needs, including administering medication, and provide regular photo updates for your peace of mind!
âKristina 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 Kristinaâ

About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized care and attention I give every dog. I take the time to understand their routines, personalities, and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I treat every pup like family, keep communication open with regular updates and photos, and make sure their time with me feels like a vacation, not a separation. I am away from home about 2-4 hours on any weekday as I am back in school. I am usually home on the weekends and will be sure to adjust my schedule as needed for any dog's requirements during their stays. Any dogs in my care will get a ton of attention and I will learn their nuances. I will stick strictly to any instructions provided to me by the pet's parents and otherwise just make sure they have a good time and don't get into any trouble.
About: I will give your pets all of the love, attention, and cuddles that they want. I will take them on daily walks and all follow all the/rules guidelines you have surronding your pets. I'm currently in between jobs so can come over for daily potty breaks and interactions as needed. When I am working, I am currently working, I will spend evenings and weekends with them when I am not at work or fufilling other obligations. I will follow all rules/guidelines you have and check on them periodically when they're outside. I will play with them, engage with them, cuddle with them, and make sure they feel loved.
âColleen 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.â

About: We recently had to say goodbye to my 13 year old best friend & fur baby Gabe, so caring for other dogs brings some comfort! We have a fenced in yard.

Pictures of fur-babies will definitely be sent frequently if desired. We will make sure your dog is happy and healthy :) Stay at home mom available most times of day. Just let me know your pets temperament and schedules, likes and dislikes. We do have 2 children in the home.

About: Iâve 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. Iâm 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 Iâm 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. Iâm dependable, organized, and flexible when it comes to sticking to your petâs normal routine. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, happy, and loved while youâre away! Your petâs 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 theyâre safe, happy, and in good hands while youâre away.
About: I love and care for all types of pets. I began dog sitting and walking for neighbors, friends, and family when I was 14, but I learned how to care for pets at home from a very young age. I grew up around dogs and cats, and my family has always had at least two pets at a time. I recently graduated with my masterâs degree and started working in my field. My job is hybrid, with 50% of my time in the office and 50% working from home, so my schedule is currently very flexible. I also love hiking and exploring new trails! Iâm excited to have my own puppy one day, but in the meantime, I would be more than happy to care for your fur baby so you can enjoy your vacation or work trips worry-free. I understand that every pet has different needs, and every home has different rules. I will make sure to carefully follow all safety instructions and house rules while caring for your furry baby/babies. My schedule is very flexible because I work a hybrid job, spending part of my week working from home. This allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. Iâm available for morning, evening, and weekend care, and I always make time to follow each petâs normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while youâre away. Safety is my biggest priority. I have been watching dogs for a few years now, and one thing I notice is every dog owner has their own definition of what safety looks like for their pet. I always try my best to keep the routine that the dog owners have already established for their pet, so that the pet does not feel unsafe or stressed.
About: I have experience pet sitting, housesitting, and live with three dogs of my own. I love animals and helping people with their pets. I offer photography services, lots of cuddles, and will love your dogs like you do! I work during the week and choose to relax by taking care of and playing with dogs! There's nothing I enjoy more than helping people and caring for pups. I always make sure to spend time with dogs while not leaving them alone for long periods of time. When their family leaves, it can be stressful for pets and I do everything I can to make it easier for them.

Rachel is an absolute dream come true! My dog Kate has been through a lot this year. Lots of changes and new people. Rachel was patient and Kate responded so well to her kind nature! They got along great! Rachel is amazing. Super experienced with dog handling! I will definitely have Rachel visit again!
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!

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.

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 wasnât 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 weâre away. Heâs 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! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Farmington is $20 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 petâs 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.
As of November 2026, there are 4,340 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Farmington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your petâs routine and the sitterâs availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. 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 petâs 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.
If you would like updates while youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
