Whitney was excellent with our two dogs, Sadie and Joey, while we were away for a week. She is very trustworthy and communicates well. We will be using her again in the future! Thank you Whitney for taking such great care of our fur babies!

About: Im a pet owner myself with 2 kitties and a bully breed. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets including reptiles and birds as well as doing nail clippings with non aggressive pets. I taught my dog a few tricks like shake and spin. Overall very flexible with care on my days off. Thanks for looking! I currently work full-time 3 days a week, 12 hr shifts. Aside from that I’m free weekends to care for your babies while you take a vacation or a quick break! My pets are always supervised as they tend to be velcro babies. I take my pets out on a schedule as well as have a feeding schedule twice a day. Trips to the dog park are an option so long as safety is kept in mind, I tend to go when the park is less busy to avoid any potential fights. Pets are allowed on furniture and beds as they are family.

Shannon was fantastic with our pups! We were a last minute booking due to other plans falling through and I couldn’t have asked for better care for the dogs! She sent us many pictures throughout her 30 minute visit. I knew my dogs were well cared for. I will definitely use Shannon again in the future. :)

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have cared for two of my own since I was little, so being around dogs feels completely natural to me. I currently work at a dog boarding and daycare facility, where I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, playtime, basic handling, and reading dog behavior. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, and I’m excited to use my experience to give your dogs safe, reliable, and affectionate care. I’m a high school student but free all summer! I only work a few days every 2 weeks at a dog daycare and boarding facility so I have plenty of time to stop by and walk or check in on your pet! I have so much experience with all situations pets can get into I know first aid or even how to calm a pet down. I’m experienced in all sizes and personalities and can handle anything!

About: Hi! I'm Elle and I am a "pet-deprived" student at who recently graduated from UWEC. I did Rover a bunch while in Eau Claire and absolutely loved it. I have a special soft spot for labs, goldens, and vizelas but will love all breeds and sizes. Right now I’m mostly looking for dog walking and house sitting, but may be able to be flexible if needed. I would love to love your dog! As a 4th year student, I have a fairly limited on-campus class schedule. I am not gone more than two hours at a time each day for classes. If for some reason I am unable to get home within a two-hour block, either of my roommates would be happy to provide care and let them out if needed. I would love to take walks around campus with your pet or stay in your home as well! I have a few classes online and would be happy to work out of your home with your pet cuddled up with me. I adore walks around the UWEC campus area and surrounding neighborhoods, so having your pet with me would make them even better! I prefer caring for your pet in your home so that they feel more comfortable, but I am willing and able to care for them in my home if needed. I am very organized and responsible with feeding and medicine schedules if that is what your pet requires.

About: Hi! I’m Alex, and I’d love to be your dog’s next best friend! ❤️🐶 Animals have been a huge part of my life from day one—my dad was a veterinarian, we had multiple cats and dogs at home and I spent much of my childhood helping out in his clinic. That early experience gave me a deep understanding of animal behavior, care, and most of all—a serious soft spot for furry friends. Sorry scaly guys, you just aren’t for me. ❌🐍🦎 I’ve had many different breeds in my home and I currently have a sweet English Setter who loves to run and snuggle as much as I do. I’ve helped potty train and teach basic obedience to my puppies, so I’m comfortable with high-energy dogs and understand their needs. Whether it’s a long walk, a drop-in visit, or a cozy day at my home, your pup will be treated like family—spoiled with love, attention, and plenty of belly rubs. I’m an active person and a runner, so if your dog loves to get outside and burn energy, I’m your girl! I offer: ✅ Dog walking ✅ Early morning or afternoon drop-ins ✅ Doggy daycare ✅ Limited boarding (non-reactive dogs and kid-friendly dogs only – I have two young children at home) I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment and truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I know how much your pets mean to you, and I promise to treat them with the same care and love I give my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! 🐾 I work school hours giving me flexibility to care for your dog in the early morning, mid afternoon or evening during the school year and greater flexibility during the summer months. I have limited availability for boarding during the week but please inquire with specific times. I hope to become a part of your pet care routine. I treat your pet as my own. I ensure a secure leash when walking and I have a fenced in yard at my home in a quiet residential area. I am also able to crate your pet as needed.

About: Passionate Pet Care for Your Furry Friend! As a lifelong dog lover, I've spent years caring for our canine companions and creating unforgettable experiences. Whether it's a leisurely stroll or an energetic play session, I adore spending quality time with our furry friends. I understand that schedules are crucial for many dogs, and I'm dedicated to ensuring their routines are met with precision and care. Beyond just walks, I'm passionate about keeping our pup clean and happy. From grooming to playtime, every moment is an opportunity to show your dog the love and attention they deserve. Let me help provide your pet with the care and companionship they need to thrive! Imagine your furry friend enjoying a day filled with comfort and companionship. As a remote worker, I have the flexibility to care for your pet throughout the day, providing them with a cozy and welcoming space in my home office. They'll feel right at ease as they lounge nearby while I work. But the fun doesn't stop there! In the evenings, my family joins in on the fun, showering your pet with love and playtime. We create a warm and lively atmosphere that's perfect for socializing and making unforgettable memories. Your pet will feel like part of the family, receiving all the attention and affection they deserve. Let us provide your beloved companion with a second home where they can thrive and feel loved!

About: We are a couple that just recently got married and moved into our first house! We are approved fosters for The Bond Between and have had the privilege of helping 5 dogs so far find their forever homes! We have no pets of our own, however we both grew up with dogs in the home and frequently dog sit for our families! Jeremy works from home full time, so we are able to do walks and potty breaks frequently. We are rarely out of the house for longer than a few hours. We are able to provide a comfy and welcoming environment for any dog and it ends up being the highlight of our day too! We look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I am a teacher who works a normal school year schedule, with summers fully off. Jeremy works from home full time year round. We are available for let outs at lunch, weekend sleepovers and have very flexible schedules! We have a fully fenced backyard. When taking a potty break or going on a walk, your dog will stay safely leashed at all times. We have no other pets in the household, so all of our attention will stay focused on your animals! We would follow owner directions on crating when leaving and at night.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, personalities, and needs. I grew up in a family that always had dogs, and caring for them has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Today, I share my home with two wonderful dogs—a Cocker Spaniel and a Bulldog—who keep life fun, active, and full of love. Over the years, I've gained experience raising two puppies of different breeds, giving me a strong understanding of puppy care, training consistency, socialization, and the patience that young dogs need as they grow and learn. I've also cared for senior dogs, including administering medications and accommodating age-related mobility and health needs. In addition, I have experience working with special-needs and disabled dogs, and I understand the importance of providing compassionate, individualized care tailored to each dog's unique situation. As a teacher on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing with a caring companion, I'll make sure they receive the attention, affection, and care they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I'll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, secure, and loved—just like they do with you. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and providing the same level of care I would want for my own pets! I am currently not working a set schedule so I have plenty of time for all of your pet care needs! I can do house sitting, dog walking and drop ins on any day of the week. When I stay in someone’s home to care for their pet, I will treat it with the upmost respect, leaving it better than I found it. I am clean, respectful and responsible.

About: As a dog owner of two and lifelong animal lover, I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve had dogs since I was 12 and am familiar with everything from puppy energy to senior dog needs. I enjoy staying active outside and making sure pets get exercise, attention, and lots of affection — including great puppy cuddles. Your pet’s comfort and routine are always my priority. I work from home and can work from anywhere so I have almost unlimited flexibility and can’t wait to meet and get to know your oets! I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. In my client’s home, I aim to keep pets’ schedules as consistent as possible with regular feeding times, walks, play, and plenty of affection. I know how important familiarity is, so I work to create a calm, safe environment while you’re away. I treat every pet like one of my own and understand the trust it takes to have someone care for them in your home. I’m respectful of your space, communicative, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved.

About: I have pet sat for family members and friends. I also have worked at Wag’n Wash and have a lot of experience with all different types of breeds and temperaments. I know how to properly handle and deal with most if not all situations. I am home for the summer from college in the middle of May, and after I’m home I will be free most of the week with some errands and stuff I have to do in between some days. So I will be able to house sit during the week or just take them on walks or check up on them, depending on what the client wants to do. I work weekends but am able to take breaks and stop by the house if needed. I will insure all the care is specialized to each animal and what service I provide for them. With each pet I will come up with a specific care plan for them and review it with the owner to insure they get a say in what happened while they are gone.

We had a wonderful experience with Emma! She was incredibly attentive to both of our dogs, making sure they were well cared for, played with, and comfortable while we were away. She was always on time and communicated clearly, which gave great peace of mind. Her thoroughness and genuine care truly stood out. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated pet sitter!

This was my first time using Rov. services as Bailey does not like boarding when we take him! I am glad I chose Rov. services and Amy as the caregiver. Amy was very detailed on Baileys activities from the time she entered until leaving. She provided pictures of Bailey as well. I will diffently be using Rov.moving forward, and having Amy as our permanent caregiver for Bailey! Thank you Amy for a wonderful experience!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Farmington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 4,918 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.

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.

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
  • 96% 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.
