Amy was fantastic! We appreciated her updates and pictures, and especially her wonderful care of Theodore. It's always hard to leave him when we travel, and coming home to him purring and happy from having been well-loved while we're gone makes us feel better about being away.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. My experience caring for pets began when I was a toddler and has continued throughout every stage of my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals and have built lasting relationships with many happy clients who trust me with their beloved pets time and time again. One of the first things people notice about me when animals are around is just how much I genuinely love and adore them. Whether it’s stopping to say hello to a dog on a walk, earning the trust of a shy cat, or spending extra time making sure a pet feels comfortable and loved, caring for animals is something that comes naturally to me. My home is filled with furry family members, giving me hands-on experience with pets of all personalities, ages, and needs. I have my own dog and currently live with two dogs and five cats, so I understand the daily commitment, patience, and attention that excellent pet care requires. From energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise and playtime to independent cats who appreciate a calm and caring presence, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique personality and routine. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I don’t see pet care as just a job—it’s something I truly enjoy. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who will treat them like family, not just another appointment on a schedule. I take the time to learn their routines, understand their quirks, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is not only to give pet owners peace of mind, but to make sure their pets are happy, relaxed, and excited to see me again. When your pet is in my care, they receive the same level of attention, affection, and dedication that I give my own. Pet sitting is a part-time job for me, which allows me to maintain a fairly flexible schedule and dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. I do my best to accommodate each pet owner’s needs and can often work with a variety of schedules, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays when available. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, I make it a priority to provide dependable care, timely communication, and plenty of attention for every pet. If you have specific scheduling needs, feel free to reach out—I’m always happy to discuss availability and find a solution that works for both you and your pet. Safety is always my top priority when caring for pets in a client’s home. Before walks, I make sure collars, harnesses, and leashes fit properly and are securely fastened. I’m careful when entering and leaving the home to ensure doors are closed so pets can’t accidentally escape. If pets have access to a fenced yard, I always check that gates are closed and the area is secure before letting them outside. During walks, I stay aware of our surroundings and do not allow dogs to approach unfamiliar dogs, helping avoid unnecessary stress or potential conflicts. Along with keeping pets safe, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and consistency with their normal routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of family/friends/other people’s pets since I was 13. I can feed, let out, walk, and provide enrichment/care for animals. I also have experience with administering medication to animals as well. I am a college student on break for the summer, so my availability is pretty open! I am available both weeks and weekends for most of the summer. I will care for your pets as if they were my own (I love my dogs)! I want to ensure that your pet feels safe and comfortable in my care, while also respecting your rules, such as keeping fence gates shut or crating pets when I am not there.

About: I volunteer at the APA animal shelter where I walk and play with all types of dogs.

Emma was amazing! She updated me everyday how my cats were doing and sent the best photos of my girls each day too. The house was clean when I got home. But most importantly she really loved on both of the girls fulfilling their individual needs while I was away. My playful cat got time to play each day and my older cat even warmed up enough to lay on her chest and get some extra pets and kisses each day. I was halfway around the world in a country and I was not worried about the wellbeing of my cats or my house while I was away and that meant everything! I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend using Emma if you need a sitter! ❤️

About: I am a very loving person all around. I have many years and experience in pet sitting and in pet therapy, rescue and fostering. My friends and family trust me completely to take care of their animals. Myself and my husband and side kick Bob, love all kinds of fur babies and decided to turn our passion into a business, where both of us have the pleasure of meeting you, your pets, and doing drop in visits in your home. Mostly, we will treat and love your fur babies just like they are our own. I for sure will make visiting your home and your pets a top priority. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to meet your needs. I have a safe and clean environment. I have plenty of toys and cat treats. I have lots of playtime and keep a regular routine for them. I get down to their level and give them lots of love and attention, as I would with your pets as well. I also have a husband who is a great cat daddy and is a wonderful wingman and he loves animals including dogs as much as I do. We would treat our pet sitting responsibilities seriously, as well as respecting your home and pets for pet sitting.

About: When your pet stays with me, they are family, and treated as such. I have experience with elderly and hospice pets as well as special-needs pets, young puppies, medication management and administration (liquid, pill, and injections) and some training experience as well. Well versed in pets with special care requirements (i.e. animals with anxiety, reactivity and/or other behavioral challenges). Because I work from home, I can be with your pet throughout the workday, and can easily step away to give your pet potty breaks and attention. I prefer to do house-sitting based pet care, as I’ve found that animals are most comfortable in their home environments. I am also happy to water any plants that may need it, as long as instructions are provided. Happy to work with large animals, amphibians, fish, and reptiles as well. Do note that house-sitting based pet care includes light house maintenance/cleaning as well such as vacuuming and laundering the guest sheets used. I like to leave the houses I care for as neat (if not neater) than they were upon my arrival. I work from home and can easily step away to care for your pet. When pet sitting, I generally don’t leave the house I’m sitting at for more than a few hours at a time, so your pet has reliable supervision and company. I am pet CPR and first aid certified through Red Cross. I am a very cautious and risk-aware person, always mindful of keeping doors and gates shut and ensuring the environment I’m pet-sitting in is safe and secure.

About: Hello! We are an active family with a young son and an almost three year old Aussie Doodle named Marley and our newest addition is a cat named Moon. When it is nice out, you will find us outside! Marley loves having other dogs around whether it be a playmate or a snuggle buddy. Moon is usually hiding and can be kept in a separate area of the house, if needed. My partner and I have opposite schedules and Grandparents that double as babysitters. That means there is someone at the house the majority of the time to help take special care of your pet. We can be pretty flexible with drop off and pick up times. We have lots of love to give out and they will be pampered on their doggy vacation! I can also accommodate if your dog would prefer them to be the only pet in the house. Marley frequently stays at his Grandparent's house and plays with his Cousin- Pongo :) If it is your first time booking with me, use promo code KIMS56130 for $20 off.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every dog like they’re my own. I’m patient, reliable, and experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and different personalities. Whether your dog needs extra playtime, medication reminders, walks, or just comfort while you’re away, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently working part time so i can be with them early in the morning, mid-day, and at night! I love being able to make sure they feel safe all day! I have two dogs of my own, so caring for pets is already a big part of my daily routine. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and a comfortable environment. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible to help them feel safe and stress-free while their owner is away. I treat every pet like family and make sure they get lots of love and care.

Nicole was so incredibly kind and attentive when we were giving directions on how to care for our 14-year old Kira. This was our First experience with Rover and transparently k was very very nervous- but Nicole came to meet Kira(and us) effort the day she was actually getting paid to stop by. That same dedication and love translated directly over to Kira’s care while we were away. We got pictures every day and Nicole went above and beyond to make sure Kira was comfortable and happy. I can’t thank her enough for taking such wonderful care of our baby girl <3!

This was our first experience using a sitter and it was the best. We felt so comfortable with Emma, and the way she loved our babies. She went above and beyond making sure they were taken care of and gave them so much attention. They were not used to strangers but the loved Emma! Would definitely use her again and again! Thanks Emma!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Farmington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Farmington on Rover is $22.2 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 2,474 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Farmington. On Rover:

  • 93% 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.

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.
