“Gabriel did a great job at looking after our kitties and following our instructions, even with construction going on in our house while we were gone! He is nice and pleasant and I thoroughly appreciated his help. We had no issues at all! Recommend booking for drop in cat visits!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of friends and families pets for well over 15 years. If you’re looking for someone to provide that same attention and patience for your pets that you do, I’m your guy! I give your pets the ground to take their time to warm up to me and earn their trust. I am calm around animals and understand that each pet is different and deserves to be treated as such. I am able to accommodate large and small breeds as well as special needs. I also provide any updates as requested throughout they day! Pet care is a part time stress reliever for myself but a full time interest and commitment for those that I look after. I can assure you I will care for your pets in the most respectable and fun manner possible. I give your pets the chance to warm up to me every single visit even if they fully know me or recognize me. While our days are long to your pet it’s can feel like an eternity. I will give my full undivided attention. Distraction free from devices and setting them up comfortably upon my departure. I am able to accolade certain special needs or requests which may be discussed prior to care beginning.
“Karen was very responsive to communication and kept me up on her schedule. She showed up as planned and made sure our 3 cats had everything they needed in our absence. I would definitely recommend Karen to anyone needing a trusted caregiver.”
“Katie is very good with my dog and puppy. She is very kind and easy to work with. I’ve only just started using Katie but I know my fur babies are in good hands with her. I definitely recommend her!”
“Katrina did an amazing job at taking care of our kitty and sending us pictures to know she was okay! I would 100% recommend her to anyone and definitely reach out to her again for future needs!”
About: I’ve had experience petsitting since 2018 for my parents petsitting business. I have two children, a three year old and a one year old. One 8month old chow chow her name is Sushi. I have a pretty open availability right now. Just send a message to confirm with me but overall my availability should be pretty open these days. Pretty easy going. I ensure to lock all doors prior to leaving premises. Ensure area is clean and safe for pets if not crated while away.
“Emily did a wonderful job taking care of my 3 girls- Her dedication to ensuring my girls was safe and feed for the time I was gone was outstanding- truly a great caregiver for my three dogs - I would recommend her to anyone - she goes above and beyond. definitely will book with her again”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I have three large dogs of my own, and my family breeds dogs, so I have experience caring for entire litters of puppies. I understand how much patience, attention, and care puppies need as they grow. I’m comfortable around large dogs and love getting to know each dog's unique personality. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will always do my best to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away! I recently switched to PRN at the hospital, which gives me more flexibility with my schedule. I’m starting nursing school in January, so pet sitting is a great way for me to spend my free time doing something I love while earning extra income. I have three dogs of my own, so caring for animals is already a part of my daily life. I’m able to work with pet owners to find a schedule that works best for them and their pets, and I look forward to giving every pet plenty of love, attention, and care while their owners are away! I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I follow the owner's instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications if needed, and playtime to keep their pet's routine as normal as possible. Since I have three large dogs of my own and experience helping my family care for litters of puppies, I'm comfortable handling different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a clean, safe space. I also love sending updates and pictures so owners can feel at ease knowing their pets are being well cared for!
About: I am a lifelong dog enthusiast. I have taken care of my own or others dogs since I began schooling. I have worked with high energy dogs that need a large amount of exercise to taking care of my own 17 year old golden and the geriatric challenges that come with old age. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and needs. Whether your pup is a couch potato or an adventure seeker, I'm happy to match their pace and provide the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Outside of my current work schedule from 8 am to 5:30 pm I am open to assisting with your pet care needs. My weekends are free all day for help. My jobs involves physical labor so however long your pet wants to play I have the energy to back it up. Whatever instructions you have I will follow them to the letter and be respectful of your home!
About: I myself have a deaf and anxious pup. From her, I have learned how to navigate certain tough situations. I have had to put so much time and effort into her training and am watching her become an amazingly happy and well behaved dog (she even knows a bit of sign language!) I also lost a buddy back in July. He was 14 years old and required medication administration many times a day. With him I learned a lot about helping the old guys feel as happy and safe as possible because they are probably scared of the changes they are experiencing in their lives. I am very active and love going on long walks, so having a dog there would just be an extra bit of fun! I am currently in school but only taking a few classes. I'll have time to play with your pups in the evening especially if you need a night off but they still need a walk! I live in an apartment so leashes are crucial. I would never let my own dog off the leash, so I would never put your dog in a situation where something could go wrong. My own dog is quite reactive on the leash, so if I sense that we are approaching a person/dog/object that might trigger her reactivity I usually steer clear of it to avoid any kind of avoidable altercation. I want every dog to feel safe so i will adjust based on what your dog’s body language is telling me.
“We had such a wonderful experience with Maria watching our cat! She was incredibly attentive, caring, and went above and beyond to make sure our cat was happy and comfortable. She spent lots of quality time with her and sent us frequent updates and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and loving to care for their pet. We would definitely book with her again!”
About: This will be my first experience of pet care. I have a passion for treating pets with the care they deserve and give them lots of love. I will treat them as if they were my own. This would be an exciting experience to meet and take care of all different breeds of pets. I am curious of how other breeds act as I, myself have two chihuahuas and a french bulldog that are completely separate from each other. I would love nothing more than to help take care of other people's pets while also enjoying the time of playing and caring for the pet itself. I am care-free and easy going. If you ever needed more time for me to watch the pet, I would be more than happy to do so. I work full time but i’m an early bird and have all evenings free! I like to be active and go on walks anyways and it will be lovely to do it with a furry friend! I do not care for pets inside my own home but in a client home, I will do anything necessary for the pet under owners orders! I work best with a schedule.
“Amaya was very attentive to our cat while we were out of town! She went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone with an eye for detail and love for animals!”
“Kirsten was great! She stepped in to help with some cat-sitting in a last-minute situation and was very responsive and kind. She took lots of pictures and videos and was able to get a shy, skittish cat to be playful and fun during the time she spent with her. Kirsten is obviously great at what she does and I'd recommend her to anyone needed their dogs or cats watched. She is caring, attentive and communicative and I knew my cat was in good hands while I was away!”
About: I have had the fun of owning my own pups for twenty years! I 💕 love dogs and will love your doggy like it was my own!:) I am home 24/7 so your pup will get lots of attention.My neighborhood is excellent for walks! It would my pleasure to make sure your furry baby is super happy!🐶 My house 🏠 has plenty of room for your dog to roam around. I can crate if needed. Your dog can be on the coach, too!
About: My full time job allows for flexibility during the work day and allows me to work anywhere with wifi. I can often be in the home caring for your animals or taking them out more often than a traditional sitter who works a 9-5. I dog sit for many members of my family and have had dogs since I was 2 years old. I have a lot of experience giving medication and working with elderly animals. If I am available, I would love to set up a meet and greet to see if I would be a good fit! I am also insured! I work a flexible 9-5 and can drop in to walk or spend additional time caring for your animal(s) because of the flexibility! I wake up early as well! I treat each home like I am a true guest there and treat it and the animals if they were my own. I am very respectful of the rules and furniture.
“Lexie was great! She was really accommodating for a late-night potty break and followed all the directions perfectly. I appreciated her reliability and care with my two fur babies. Communication was above & beyond. I would definitely book again!”
“Megan was amazing and took such good care of my pup while I was gone! She gave very detailed updates with pictures and communicated with me so well! I will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,287 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Farmington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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. 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.

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 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.
