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!
“Amy is fantastic, we have a borderline special needs cat and she did a great job taking care of her, along with the other cats in the house. Easily 10/10 and already rebooked to take care of our pets during our next trip.”
“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!”
“Magen was incredibly helpful. She made us feel much more comfortable leaving town. She gave our cats lots of love and attention and made sure their litter boxes were clean and that they got their treats. Leaving us updates and pictures after each visit.”
“Layne was kind and caring to our dog Star! She was very thorough in asking questions about Star and her habits. I felt very comfortable leaving our dog in her care and would rebook her again for future visits! ☺️”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful! She took such good care of our cats and went above and beyond. 😄Pictures every day and little notes about how our cats were doing really put our minds at ease!”

About: I genuinely love animals and spending time with them, I don't have any pets but taking care of others' is such a great opportunity to fill that furry void ❤️ Not having my own pets, I'm happy to spend some of my down time with yours, whether it be sleepovers, day playing, or a random hangout sesh. Hygiene is very important to me, as well as catering to your pets' specific needs, I'm more than willing to follow any instructions given including a wide range of needs such as measuring medication, logging certain details, or monitoring a pregnant or ill pet.
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.
“Emma was amazing! She updated me everyday how my cats were doing and sent the best photos of my girls each day too. The house was clean when I got home. But most importantly she really loved on both of the girls fulfilling their individual needs while I was away. My playful cat got time to play each day and my older cat even warmed up enough to lay on her chest and get some extra pets and kisses each day. I was halfway around the world in a country and I was not worried about the wellbeing of my cats or my house while I was away and that meant everything! I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend using Emma if you need a sitter! ❤️”
“Nicole was great! Very attentive and kept me informed with how everyone was doing. She is very reliable and is definitely an animal person. My cat who dislikes almost everyone warmed right up to her. I definitely recommend her!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for neighbors for over 10 years and have also worked at a doggy daycare in Columbia Heights. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide reliable pet care. I’m very experienced with managing my schedule and making sure each dog’s needs come first. I make time for regular feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their care instructions and give their pets everything they need. During visits, I’ll feed them, let them outside or take them for a walk, and spend time playing with them to help get their energy out. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and are comfortable before I leave.
“Melissa is exceptionally caring and had a wonderful approach with our Great Dane, Kota. She left the perfect level of details after each of her visits and was thoughtful about our dogs knee (recovering from surgery) while still giving her plenty of time to play. Our dog was clearly comfortable and happy to see Melissa each visit- which is saying a lot for an anxious pup! Could not recommend Melissa more highly!!”
About: Hello! We are an active family with a young son and an almost three year old Aussie Doodle named Marley and our newest addition is a cat named Moon. When it is nice out, you will find us outside! Marley loves having other dogs around whether it be a playmate or a snuggle buddy. Moon is usually hiding and can be kept in a separate area of the house, if needed. My partner and I have opposite schedules and Grandparents that double as babysitters. That means there is someone at the house the majority of the time to help take special care of your pet. We can be pretty flexible with drop off and pick up times. We have lots of love to give out and they will be pampered on their doggy vacation! I can also accommodate if your dog would prefer them to be the only pet in the house. Marley frequently stays at his Grandparent's house and plays with his Cousin- Pongo :) If it is your first time booking with me, use promo code KIMS56130 for $20 off.
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: 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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Farmington
Emma was wonderful. From the moment we met I knew our kitties were in good hands. She truly loves cats and understands their quirky personalities. She took care of everything I asked her to do, including a few “gifts” the kitties left her. I got updates on them and pictures as well. She was very attentive to their needs. It was clear from the pictures they loved their time with her. I highly recommend her and will user her again.
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!

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.

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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 pet, 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.
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.
