“Yassy house sat for my dog and two cats for over a week and a half while I was out of the country. She was excellent at keeping a consistent schedule and was quick to ask questions when something wasn't clear. Feedback I would offer her is to send more frequent updates / pictures versus me having to check in, but all in all it was a pleasure. Definitely set my mind at rest with my fur babies.”

About: Dog lover here! Providing dependable, active, and affectionate care. From puppy energy to easygoing senior strolls, I respect your dog’s specific habits, commands, and feeding schedules. I put safety safety first on every walk, lots of positive attention, and keep you updated with fun pictures and visit summaries while you're away. I have a reliable, consistent routine that gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care on evenings, weekends, and early mornings. Since I keep my service radius close to home, I can easily fit in drop-ins, feedings, walks, and playtime without feeling rushed. I make visiting and caring for your animals a dedicated part of my day! I live in Barnstead, but work in Portsmouth so don't me afraid to message me if you appear outside of my radius. Safety and clear communication are my top priorities. When visiting your home, I strictly follow all feeding, medication, leash and other guidelines to keep your pet safe and comfy. I ensure entryways, doors, and gates remain secure at all times, double-check that food and hazardous items are out of reach, and treat your home with respect. During every visit, I provide thorough updates with photos so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well-cared for.

About: I have a lifetime of experience taking care of dogs large and small. Full dog friendly home, I will match your desires and interests with your fur baby, allow animals on furniture and love to be active outdoors. Close to nearby lakes for swim fun, trails for hiking, and fenced backyard to allow plenty of playtime. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. Each day, I make sure your pet has fresh food and water, gets regular exercise, and receives plenty of attention and affection. I also spend time grooming, cleaning up after them, and checking that they are healthy and comfortable. On a weekly basis, I clean their bedding and living areas, restock supplies, and make time for longer walks or play sessions. Keeping up with these responsibilities helps ensure your pet stays happy, healthy, and well cared for. I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for pets in my home. My home has a securely fenced yard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor play and exercise. If requested by the owner, I can crate pets to maintain their normal routine or provide a quiet, secure space. Inside, pets have access to a large dog bed, and they are welcome on the furniture if that is consistent with their family’s rules and preferences. I strive to follow each pet’s established routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special care instructions, to help them feel relaxed, comfortable, and at home during their stay.

If we go on another trip, we will for sure contact her and I recommend her 100%. She also sent us texts and photos of the dogs and cat. Loved that! Thank you Makenzie!”

She has a great presence that commands respect which is important for our pup who needs boundaries during introductions. She provided us with updates and photos while we were gone and we will absolutely have her help us again!!”

“Sydney was a fabulous dog/housesitter for us staying with our dogs in our home for almost two weeks for our first time leaving the dogs alone without a family member. She was prompt, kind, courteous and kept us updated the whole time while our family took a bucket list vacation together. She left the house in great condition and spoiled the girls with snuggles and pets the whole time. Highly recommend her!!!! Thanks for allowing us to have a memorable trip without worrying about the house and dogs!!”

About: I am a responsible, reliable, and intuitive dog enthusiast, who will care for your dog as if they were my own. I understand the importance of showing up when scheduled and tailoring the service to your dog's individual needs. I grew up with family dogs since birth, and have cared for my own dogs over the past 20 years. I started a professional dog walking and sitting business in 2018. I have experience with many different breeds, ages, and abilities. Through my dog walking business, I also have extensive experience walking small groups of dogs off-leash in nature. If you are interested in this service, I have 2 female golden retrievers who would be happy to join your dog on a group nature walk, providing maximum socialization, fun, and exercise! I've recently relocated to Strafford, NH so I'm looking forward to building my clientele in a new area! Dog care is my full-time job and life, so I'm available Monday through Friday, 8am-5pm, with some after-hours availability on an as-needed basis. I will tailor my visits to your dog's needs and provide plenty of love! I can board your dog in my home or overnight sit in your home any day of the week. My dogs are allowed on our couches, so yours would be too. They sleep in my husband's and my bedroom, so your dog would also be welcome to sleep in our bedroom, or downstairs in the living room/kitchen if they prefer. Free-range dogs are welcome and crate training is not required unless your dog is destructive or unsafe when left unattended. We have a fenced in yard to let them out for potty-breaks and to play. If you would prefer me to stay in your home overnight, I have a lot of experience staying in clients' homes with their dogs, and often bring my dogs with me to provide socialization (if you want).

I just moved to the area as I am studying for my Masters Degree! I am currently working part time and attending a Masters Program online so my schedule is very flexible! I am in the lakes region most weekends as well. In my free time I do a lot of walking so taking dogs for long walks is not a problem! I have a car that can fit atleast two XL dogs in the back. My cat has had health issues so I can administer medication for both cats and dogs

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16. I’ve owned a black lab growing up, and a German Shepard that my parents got. I currently own a Black Cat named Lucky for the last 6 Years. Hes sweet. I take care of my girlfriend’s dog all the time who is a 5 year old Morkie. I also have always been a huge help with friends and family in dog care taking, dogs and cats are one of my true passions! My schedule varies, but I always try my best to be open. Most weekends I am free. Some weekdays as well. It all depends. I am a co parent. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I follow the owner’s normal routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications or special instructions. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away.

About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was little. I had cats at home and started horseback riding when I was six. Now, I am living in New Hampshire for 3 years, with my husband, our two dogs, our cat... only our mare stayed in France. I do not work, so I am available to take care of your pets. I can groom them, administer medicine (with clear instructions), walk them or just cuddle them. I may be out 4 hours max for my english lessons. We moved to the United States for my husband's job; I don't work, so I would be delighted to look after your babies as if they were my own. I take English classes twice a week in the morning, but I am completely free the rest of the time. At my home, your dogs will be treated just like mine, with access to the garden and unlimited playtime and naps. Introductions to my own dogs will be handled gently—especially with Flack, who can take a little time to warm up but is used to meeting plenty of doggy friends back in France. At your home, I will follow your instructions; since my English isn't perfect yet, please feel free to leave written notes.

FAQs for House Sitting - Farmington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Farmington on Rover is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $43 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 560 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Farmington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
