Alexa is super fast to respond and very caring with my puppy! She always makes sure that he is comfortable and happy when she takes him on his walks, and she takes the best pictures of him to keep me up to date.

Freckles was a happy boy after his walk. Acacia is reliable, caring, and clearly great with dogs. I'd happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker.

Finding a new pet partner to take care of your fur babies is isn’t always easy but I am confident to say that we found a perfect pet partnership with Laura. Laura arranged a meet in greet over the phone and then in person to get to know my two dogs. I could tell right away that Laura would be a great fit and it definitely showed when we returned from our trip and our dogs were happy and not stressed by our departure. Laura was always on time and her communication was incredibly helpful while we were away. I appreciated Laura’s flexibility in our schedules if something came up and know that our pups were in great hands ☺️. I’m only hesitant to write this post because I don’t want to lose her to other interested people! She’s great. We’ll definitely be rebooking with her in the future.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs of every kind since I was 14 years old. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to check in on their pets. Yes, I watched cats as well. Don’t tell my dog! In my house our lives revolve around them. That of course doesn’t mean that they run the house, but we plan around them. My favorite sound and site are when they are eating: because to me it means they are safe and happy! I am working from home so I can be there for the dogs. Other than shopping and chores, im around. I can make my schedule flexible to accommodate 4 legged guests. I have a fenced yard so your dog can go out to sniff and do their business. I am also walking the dogs at least once a day, sometimes 2 short walks

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: 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’m a remote worker who has been lucky enough to love and care for my own cat, dog, hamster, and horse, as well as numerous other critters in kennels, barns, and animal shelters. I work remotely, so my time is very flexible. I’m happy to drop in for a visit or walk any time of day, rain, blizzard, or shine! I live in a quiet house with an eleven-year-old Miniature Schnauzer who loves playing tug-of-war and snuggling with his furry buddies. When I’m working with a pet, I always play off of the animal’s behavior and respect their boundaries. The health, safety, and cleanliness of your pet are my top priorities.

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.

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: I am experienced in senior pets, and reactive dogs. I can walk reactive dogs up to 30 pounds. I avoid busy times and know to look for triggers before the pup notices. I do not have a weight limit for non-reactive dogs. Additionally, I have experience with freshwater aquariums, parrots, hamsters, and mice! Play, cuddles (or space), and leashed walks will keep us quite busy! Expect a lot of photos. I do have a peanut allergy so I am not able to offer peanut based treats, and ask that they be put away beforehand. Thank you! I work full-time Thursday-Sunday so I have full availability to watch your pets on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday without distractions! Walks, drop-ins, and meet and greet availability would be anytime Monday-Wednesday or after 6pm on my work days. I will follow your instructions, set alarms for potty breaks and walks, and be available to send photo and text updates. During house sitting, I will let you know about my drop-in visit schedule. Your pet will never be alone without notice.

Maddie took a last minute booking for me when I found out my husband was going to be home really late and I had just had surgery. She wore the dogs out and they came back so happy. Super appreciative of her being willing to do it on short notice and take such great care of the dogs.

Sarah walked my two dogs weekly for 6 months and did a great job. She showed up when it was cold and took great care of the dogs. Her communication was great too, letting me know if she couldn’t make it, which was rare. Sarah is very trustworthy and great with the dogs.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Farmington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Farmington on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 4,870 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Farmington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Farmington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Farmington.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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 .

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

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.

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 walker.
