“Aish and her family were so sweet and attentive to our fur baby. I was a little bit concerned (but expecting) that our pup will probably not eat at first due to new surroundings. But I was wrong. He felt welcome and secure and had a lot of fun playing with Scooby that he felt at ease immediately and was eating regularly. Aish sent me lots of pictures of him. :) I would definitely recommend Aish!”
“We had a great stay with Amanda and Michael! Our dog was there for 9 nights and we got updates daily as well as they reached out with any questions or concerns that came up which I really appreciated! Our dog came back happy and they seemed to treat her like family.”
“Liana and family took great care of my doggie. Her dog Winston was a nice companion for my dog, Freckles. Freckles enjoyed her walks. Liana sent many pictures during Freckles 2 week stay. I highly recommend Liana to watch over your fur baby!”
About: I’m a dedicated dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I grew up with both dogs and horses, and our animals were always treated as part of the family. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pet while you’re away. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower, gentler pace. Every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. At home, I have two Australian Cattle Dogs, Sydney (4) and Roo (2), both rescues. They’re active, social, and always happy to welcome new companions. Before them, I raised my dog Cooper from 7 weeks old through 14 wonderful years. I also regularly provide in-home dog sitting for friends and family, with stays ranging from a few days to several weeks. I work from home which provides me plenty of time to keep an eye on your pup and let them out for potty breaks. I also try to work in some play time during the day where I can. My dogs insist the ball is thrown for them a lot! I feed my my own dogs around 6:30/7am and 3:30/4pm daily. I have a nice big yard with a privacy fence and 2 well socialized, friendly and playful dogs. I have good size kitchen and living room areas that can be gated off the pups need some quiet time to themselves.
“Perla did a great job with our pups and provided pictures and updates on a daily basis. She was always very quick to respond to any questions. I would definitely use her pet sitting services again and would recommend to friends looking for a pet sitter!”
“This is Mochi's second time staying with Lan. Mochi was so happy to see her again! Mochi and Lan's pup Lucy also get along well - so we know that Mochi is having a great time while we're gone. Thank you, Lan!”
“Vanessa and Michael provide exceptional care for my dog. They are consistently our top pick. Having employed their services for several years, I am confident that my dog is always well cared for and cherished. Their flexibility with any changes we've needed to make is also greatly appreciated. I wholeheartedly recommend them!”
“Elizabeth and her family were absolutely wonderful. Rose is typically shy around new people. however Rose took to Elizabeth right away. she felt right at home. I think rose is missing her new friends. Elizabeth sent pictures and you could see how happy rose was.”
“Dropping off my pup with John & Teri felt like leaving him with family. They are incredibly kind, and geniunely care for and love your dog like their own. It helps that they speak doodle, too. The one caution is if you leave your dog there for too many days, they might end up not wanting to come back home. If you have a doodle and need a sitter, you’re doing your dog a disservice if you choose anyone else! 11/10 recommend.”
“Eileen was great with Maisey! She is incredible with dogs and sent pics/texts throughout Maisey’s stay. We felt very relaxed knowing Maisey was in such good care while we were away. We will definitely be re-booking!”
“Larry and Laura took very special care of our dog while we were away for a long weekend. Great communication and you can tell their love for dogs - it shows! We will definitely be booking with them again! Hugs and Wags, John and Brittany”
“Mckenzie took great care of our dogs and let them play with the other dogs after getting introduced. We got a good amount of updates and lots of cute photos!”
“Our dog Rio had a BLAST with Rachelle and Dan. They were very detailed oriented when it came to Rio’s special needs. They also sent the perfect amount of updates and pictures throughout the stay. Definitely will book again!”
“Peg and Greg gave our elderly dog Finnegan lots of attention and kept us informed with photos and comments. Finnegan got to go on walks every day and was happy and calm when we picked him up. A great stay!”
“Nellie has hosted our dog Tony on multiple occasions and she has been fantastic. She is very good at learning about what makes Tony comfortable and making sure he has everything he needs. We are 100% comfortable with leaving our dog with Nellie.”

Alex was incredible with my two dogs! They have different needs and she managed them with ease. I felt super comfortable with her care, especially since I was without any service or ability to contact her while my dogs were at her home. Neither dog wanted to leave her place! I highly recommend calling Alex to care for your dogs!
Amanda and her family were absolutely amazing with Skywalker! 🥰🐾 I felt so comfortable leaving him with them and knew he was in great hands the whole time. They treated him like part of their family, gave him lots of love and attention, and kept me updated with pictures and messages while I was away. Skywalker looked so happy and comfortable with them, which made it so much easier for me to relax and enjoy my trip without worrying about him. I’m so thankful for how well they took care of my boy! ❤️ I would absolutely trust Amanda and her family with Skywalker again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving and caring sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of him! 🥹🐶❤️
Kathi has provided the ultimate care for our aging yellow labrador Hank. He arrived for his latest stay with an upset tummy probably caused by watching us pack our bags! Kathi checked in with us and then took the extra steps you would take at home, preparing rice and meat to ease his tummy back to normal. We are so grateful to have found her! We appreciate her communication skills, including daily updates and pictures which put our minds at ease. We highly recommend Kathi's services, you will be so pleased with her care!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Farmington is $46 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $59 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Farmington can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Farmington home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Farmington.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Farmington sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
