About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve had dogs and all kinds of small animals since I was very young, and I genuinely can’t imagine life without them. When I’m not spending time with my own pets, I’m usually caring for someone else’s—whether that’s pet sitting for friends and family or working my full-time job caring for horses. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality, and I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own. After all, I’m here to be your pet’s professional best friend! I’m available every day from 9:00am-8:00pm for drop-ins and walkings. I may be available earlier or later on weekdays and possibly on weekends depending on my schedule. I’m able to feed/water your pet, let them out into a fenced backyard, play with them inside or outside the house, provide minimal grooming, administer medications, and take them on a walk. I also may be able to stop by multiple times a day depending on the time.
About: Hello! I've had and cared for dogs and cats since I was a kid. I am a sucker for any 4 legged friend. I will treat your pet as if it were my own. I'm currently off work for the summer until school starts again so I have a pretty open schedule. Let's connect and see what works! Thanks! I love taking dogs for a long walk or jog to burn off that energy. If you don't have a yard I can bring them out to the dog park or my yard for some fetch or tug of war!
“Nina is the best 🫶 My boys love to see her. Nina takes the time to give them love and attention while with them. She has proven to be trustworthy while on my home. I would highly recommend Nina to care for your pets.”

About: I was raised with dogs and had them around ever since. I have been volunteering at multiple shelter/rescue organizations for several years and have extensive experience with all sizes, breeds and dispositions. I have been the lead trainer at a shelter with troubled dogs and look forward to meeting your family member soon! I work 4 AM - Noon, Sunday-Thursday and am available anytime after work. I do still try and volunteer on my days off but am flexible! I have a love for all animals but dogs especially, and my experience has taught me that dogs recognize this in people. Whatever your needs are I can accommodate, whether that be just a walk, playing, training or just hanging around and loving!
About: I have been in the pet care industry since my first dog when I was 6, our family dog Skeeter was my best friend. Growing up I got my own dog in college my 3 year old black lab Otis who is as outgoing and loving as I am. I just recently brought a new wild one into. My home, my sweet German Shepherd Kiya! I currently work in a vet clinic and have worked in boarding/day care facilities. I own a home close to a big park and we love to walk there 2 times a day if not more and we love the outdoors. I work full time, I have half days every other Tuesday. Off every Wednesday. Half day every other Saturday. And I’m off on Sundays! I do have three sizes of crates if needed, however my dogs are now free roam and use their crates as safe spaces or nap time spots. Dogs are allowed on the furniture, it wouldn’t be called FURniture if they weren’t! However I do understand some parents may prefer their pets not on the bed or couch and I can continue that! I believe in structure for my dogs and will continue to follow your structure and “rules” you have set for your babies!

On days when I have off I am free anytime I am trustworthy and respectful of your home! Just let me know your specifics! I don’t see clients pets in my own home due to my own cats
About: I’ve had the privilege of growing up with dogs! Whether it be friends or family, I was always offering walks, baths, or even long hikes. I have experience with all stages of life! My current dog was a puppy when we got him, so puppies are my jam! My previous dog had varying health issues, so I have experience with older dogs that may need a little more help than others. I've got a healthy amount of experience with all different types of dogs. Regardless of their size, I assure you that the dogs in my care will have a blast no matter what we do. I’m a college student at the University of Minnesota Duluth, so I have lots of time to get out and about with your pups! I’d love to have more companions to walk with me. Since I am not offering in-home service, as I am a college student living with other students, I hope you can find the provider you need!

About: We have owned dogs for over 25 years, including one service dog, a beagle, for the hard of hearing. They are our family. Two Chocolate Labs are part of the mix too. I just recently retired and am looking for something to fill the void. Dogs have been a huge part of our lives for many years and they bring such joy and happiness to us. I have a 10 year old Chocolate Lab named Dakota and she is a gem. I have a large backyard, not fenced, but a long rope for when the dogs need to do their business. I am home full time so I will always be around for the dogs. My dog loves to play frisbee 😁

About: Hi! My name is Phouthavone, but I go by Kat! 🐾 I’ve been around and cared for dogs my entire life. I currently have a 7-year-old rescue dog who’s been part of my family for five years, as well as a 2-year-old cat—so I’m very familiar with caring for both dogs and cats and all their different personalities! Both of my fur babies have sensitive stomachs, so I understand how important it is to follow feeding instructions, dietary restrictions, and routines carefully. I’ll make sure your pets are happy, healthy, and well-fed while they’re in my care. I also have previous experience as a human caregiver, which has taught me a lot of skills that transfer naturally into pet care—patience, attentiveness, responsibility, following routines, and making sure the person (or pet!) in my care is comfortable and safe. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and will treat your fur babies like they’re my own. Whether they want playtime, walks, company, or just lots and lots of cuddles, I’m happy to give them all the attention they need. 🐶🐱💕 I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! I currently work part-time, so my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your fur babies! I’m available throughout the week and can work around different feeding, walking, and potty schedules. I’m also happy to spend extra time playing with them or just keeping them company and giving them lots of cuddles. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I’ll always follow any instructions you leave for me. I’m very attentive when it comes to feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, medications, walks, and anything else your pet may need. I also have a dog and cat of my own, so I know how nerve-racking it can be trusting someone else with your babies! I’ll treat them like I would want someone to treat mine and keep you updated while you’re away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Farmington
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!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s 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 pet’s 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.
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 .
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.
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 .
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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
