About: Hello! My name is Sydney and I am 22. I have had multiple dogs and cats during my lifetime whom I’ve helped train and care for. I have also taken care of many neighbors, coaches, and friend’s pets for extended periods of time and I can handle just about any kind of dog from a little dachshund to a pitbull. I am currently available most days of the week with pretty big flexibility. I would love to fill up as much time as I can with your furry friends, so reach out with any request and we can likely make it work! I am very active and love to take dogs on walks or runs around the neighborhood with me and have experience with less friendly pets. I can also easily crate your dog if needed.
“Magen was so wonderful with our two kitties while we were away for a week! She not only gave medications, different food schedules, and obviously lots of love and care, she also updated us frequently so we knew they were being well taken care of! I would highly recommend hiring Magen to anyone seeking housesitting services!”
“Nina stayed with our dog for four nights. She sent us an update with photos every night and provided lots of exercise and love for our girl and took great care of the house too! Highly recommend.”
“Bri was a great sitter for my 2 boys! She communicated great and responded back quickly. I got daily photos/videos and my boys seemed to have a great time! She left the house super clean and even washed and changed out the bed sheets and towels, which is such a wonderful thing to come home to after a day of travel! I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Kris did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Tommy! She met with us a couple times before we left for our vacation trip to get to know Tommy and his routine. She gave us multiple updates each day on their plan and what was happening. Also took good care of the house! We would not hesitate to book her again and highly recommend to others! :)”
About: I have used Rover as a dog owner for a few years and always wanted to reciprocate helping especially now that my guy passed away. I’m not ready for a new dog myself but I want to help others with theirs. I’m currently working from home so am around a majority of the day, as well as, evenings. I’ve got a very flexible schedule so can accommodate. I take pride in treating your animals like my own! I want you to feel comfortable and confident that your pet is well cared for.
“It’s always nerve wracking having someone watch your dog who has trouble with strangers, but Rachel made it stress free! She was patient and kind, which helped our dog warm up to her quickly. We can’t wait to have Rachel come again!”
“Michelle took excellent care of my high-maintenance elderly baby for 3 nights. She followed his routines (directions), treat and feeding habits, his need to go potty a LOT, and kept him calm and happy. She also kept me updated while I was away and sent pictures. I didn't worry while I was gone, and my baby seemed so relaxed when I got home. She also kept my house clean, which I appreciate!! I would highly recommend Michelle!!”
About: I've grown up with dogs and have always loved caring for them. Through taking care of my own dogs, I've learned the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, fresh water, and lots of love. I'm responsible, dependable, and will always treat your pet like they're part of my own family. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I currently work part-time Friday through Sunday, but I have flexibility throughout the rest of the week. I'm committed to providing dependable care and will always communicate clearly about my availability before accepting a booking. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I'll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect that I would my own. I also believe in providing regular photo and text updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“I highly recommend Sophie!. I booked at the last minute when I forgot to make arrangements for our dog when we were going to be away all day. She was gracious and accepted the job, even with only a few hours notice. She took great care of our dog (large Boxer) and our two cats. They were happy and healthy when we finally got back home. I wouod definitely use her again.”
About: I have grown up with dogs in the household while I currently do not have any dogs due to my two cats and living in a rental that doesn’t allow any more than two pets. I love dog sitting for my friends and family when they go out of town! I have worked with small to large dogs, dogs with special medication need's, dogs with behavioral issues/needs and puppies. I currently work from home Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday anywhere between 8 AM to 7 PM depending on my work schedule it changes weekly but I’m more then flexible it fit in walks or drop in visits. My weekends normally consist of just relaxing at home so I thought why not look into helping people with their beloved pets in the evening and on Saturdays and Sundays. Unfortunately, with my two cats living in a townhome rental, I won’t be doing services in my home, however, if I dog sit in your home I will make sure that your pet gets all the correct meals needed, on time medication‘s if needed, and plenty of play times and cuddles with walks throughout the day or as requested!
About: I have always loved animals (more than the average person, I would argue!) and have helped care for my family and friends’ pets for over a decade. I meet pets where they are at, respecting their boundaries and their home environment to make them feel safe and loved. I will treat your pet as if they were my own! My schedule is flexible. Some days I work my full time job mornings (8:30-4) and some days I work second shift (2-10pm), so that is something to factor in when considering your pet’s schedule. I am available most weekends for overnight stays, and free for check ins and overnight stays on weekdays as well. I am also available most days for walks or drop-ins. Time of day will depend on my other work schedule. When I care for your pet, I also care for your home. I am very responsible, trustworthy, and mindful of my environment and understand the privilege of being welcomed into a client’s home. I am also a professional cleaner, so whether or not you’d like my cleaning services, I will make sure to leave your home in the very best condition.
About: I’ve worked with dogs of all ages as a receptionist at a busy doggy daycare and animal hospital, where I got to know pups of every personality and need. I have basic training in puppy care which I use positive reinforcement techniques to help puppies learn good behavior and socialization, making their experience fun and stress-free. For senior dogs, I provide gentle, patient care tailored to their health needs and comfort, including administering medications and adjusting activities to their pace. Every pup are treated like they’re my own with love and patience. I will ensures every dog feels safe, happy, and well supported while you’re away. I’m fully available to provide attentive pet care throughout the weekdays and on weekends. While I’m actively working on building my design business, my schedule remains flexible. I will inform you immediately if any changes occur. Until then, I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! *As a reminder, please make sure you and your pup is okay being around my small 12lb pup and having my husband around.* All dogs will safely be in my secure, fenced yard where my 3 year old Min Pin mix loves to play with new friends. In clients’ homes, I follow instructions closely, provide exercise, companionship, and maintain a clean, comfortable environment.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Farmington
We left our dog just a few days after her spay surgery, and Noelle handled all the post-op care with ease —she administered medications, monitored our dog’s incision, and kept up with her daily walks to keep her moving. We especially appreciated Noelle’s communication. She sent daily photo updates and left quick messages on our Ring camera, which was above and beyond what we expected, but it gave us great peace of mind to be able to truly enjoy our time away! We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog as well as a house that was cleaner than we left it. We were very impressed with Noelle’s care and would highly recommend her for any dog-sitting needs!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Farmington walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Farmington maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
