About: During the day, I am a full time homemaker. I can provide drop ins or boarding nearly any day during the week and also last minute. My son desires to earn spending cash. He's very responsible and will be supervised by me on all walks. He is looking to find 1-3 local families to Newburyport that he could come in the afterschool hours for walking, playing, feeding, etc. He is also available for weekends, puppy sitting/training, and energetic play time such as throwing a ball, going for runs, or long walks around the neighborhood. We have 1 (friendly) cat at home who has been around dogs in the past. She mainly just avoids them. We also have 2 (caged) rats that stay caged at all times. I’m currently working part time so I am very free to walk dogs and take care of cats along with both at once. All animals are welcome I have cameras and fences all around my yard I also have very nice neighbors who have fences and will always tell me if I’m missing a dog lol
About: Hi my name is Jean! I am a dedicated and reliable pet sitter who treats every animal like family! Weather it's playful puppies or a senior pet needing extra care, I provide reliable, loving attention tailored to each pet's unique needs. I understand how important peace of mind is when you are away, so I prioritize safety, communication, and affections. Your pers will be in caring, capable hands every moment! I work 5:30am-12:30pm so I have time in the morning, afternoon, and at night to spend plenty of time taking care of your animals! I have 2 cats and a dog of my own as well that I take care of. I make sure to set aside time out of my day to serve the needs of my animals. I have plenty of time in the afternoon to spend time with my animals and when I get home from work I have plenty of time for walks, dinner, and of course play time.
“Lisa was amazing! Helped us out last minute and was amazing with Roscoe. Sent us pictures and that was greatly appreciated. Our first time away from the boy, difficult for all of us. This will be easier next time for sure thanks to Lisa. We will definitely be using Lisa again. Kind, courtesy and professional. Thank you Lisa.”

“Amanda was so great for drop-ins with our senior dog when we had to travel! We got thorough updates and progress reports and the cutest pictures. She kept up with her medications and routine. After our first meet and greet I knew she'd be great with our dog and she definitely was!”
About: When I’m not boarding, walking, or doing doggy daycare I’m hanging out with my kiddos. Occasionally I also foster puppies at 8 weeks old and start the potty training process and prepare them to go to their furever home. Does your dogs like to sleep on the couch? Perfect! I do too! Do they prefer to sleep in bed with you at night? Not a problem, come on in! Does your dog need daily walks? You got it! I live on a quiet road off the beaten path. I tend to treat all animals with the respect and love I give my children and I teach my children the same morals. Pets aren’t just pets in my eyes, each dog has needs they need to have met and it’s my job to make that happen when they are in my care. During my high school years I spent my time after school volunteering at the local veterinary clinic assisting the vet techs preform their daily tasks. Growing up I worked on a dairy farm. I know how to administer medications, potty train, bathe, and trim nails. I’m a stay at home mom during the week so I am always home to give my furbabies all the love and attention they want. When I’m home and need to leave your pups will tag along with me through my daily routine and hangout with me. Or if they’d prefer to relax at home and have free range they can! I try to keep a potty and feeding schedule the same as when they are with you. I live in a lake house so if your pups love to swim then this is the place to be! I also have a decent size yard (unfenced) for playing. My two dogs will keep your furbaby company in a doggy sense. My children will also play with your babies so they will definitely have a lot of attention. Inside my house is baby proof so it is also dog proof. Do you want to FaceTime your dog while they are with me? Not a problem, call whenever. I will send pictures and updates throughout the day for you so you know they are okay. Your pets truly are treated like family in my care.
“This is the second time Jessica has catsat for Woody during a vacation and it was another fantastic experience for all involved. She is very reliable and sends great pictures every time she visits along with helpful updates. She even brought in my packages from the deck. Highly recommended again!”

“Betsy was able to accommodate a last minute drop in request and followed directions wonderfully! My pup can be a little shy/anxious around new people but I know he appreciated the company too! Thanks so much!”

“Beth was wonderful! She did a last minute drop in for our two dogs which I am grateful for. She stayed in contact, sent lots of pics, and followed all directions. I'd definitely book Beth again. Thank you!”


About: I've never owned a dog, however I've grown up around them with friends and family members owning multiple dogs at one time. My aunt always had three or more dogs at one time which I helped to care for, ranging from giving medications to feeding to playing in the yard. I worked at a pet store for over 5 years where we were trained in nutrition as well as some behavioral signs. During my time at the pet store, I met someone who was looking for a sitter for their 10 month old alaskan malamute. I was offered the opportunity to watch her multiple times over the course of a year and a half which I took her on many hikes, beach trips, car rides, barn adventures, and spoiled her with toys and love. My boyfriend has a lab/dane/pointer who I take out for "mother-son" dates where we go for an outdoor adventure than reward with a pup cup. I've been working as an Animal Care Technician at a veterinary clinic for almost 2 years now where I care for patients before, during, and after their procedures ensuring they receive the best care and love during their stay at the clinic. I currently work full-time at a veterinary clinic in Dover NH. I have a four day work week consisting of Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at three 11 hour days and one 8 hour usually. I own a horse who I care for everyday after work most of the time or in the mornings on the days I have off (weekends and Wednesday). I always keep an eye on the pet whenever I am present by observing them and learning what is normal and abnormal for them. I watch the pets with no one else present so that I don’t have a human distraction which would hinder my ability to give the pet the best, safe experience. I limit the usage of my phone for social media or other distractions so I am present for the pets in the event of an emergency or any other incidences that may occur.
About: Hi! I’m Samara and I am a HUGE animal lover. I’ve been taking care of and been around sorts of animals since I was 13. From farm animals (chickens, goats, horses) to household pets such as dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles and fish. I have experience with many different breads as well as ages of animals. I am comfortable taking care of animals that need medications as well as I have cared for diabetic animals that need injections, seizure medication and eye meds. With my extensive background and love for animals I ensure I am always extremely attentive to their needs and behaviors. I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and any pet I care for, I treat it like my own. There is nothing more special than are furbabies and I want you to know that I will give them 110% care each and every time I care for them! I am a morning person and work from home. I have 1 young cat (who basically acts like a dog) in my home along with an 2 month old corgi pup and an 12 year old lab mix. Always make sure there are fresh, clean and filled water bowls! Sometimes on the weekend I will take them to a walking trail or dog park. I always ensure my pets are taken care of first and since I work from home it really allows me to cater my schedule around their needs. My animals are truly my world. Comfort is the most important part! A lot of our time is always great, off leash and the ability to be free and sniff around. I always keep and eye on the pets to make sure everyone is acting appropriately and behaving. I will send videos and pictures and make sure you are always kept in the loop on your pets status. I am also a very active person so enjoy going for walks and runs!
About: Iv had pets my whole life and have pet sat for friends and family many times in the past. I live on the second floor so it might be hard for senior dogs unless they don’t mind being carried, I’m relatively strong so heavier pets won’t be a problem, I can provide puppy pads for puppies and have a large litter box that is sanitized between uses. I am not currently working so I have all the extra time in the world, My children are at school for 8 hours of the day so if your pet(s) prefer no kids the morning/afternoon would be best for you, they’re older and calm kids who love pets so if your pet is ok with kids they’ll get along great. I have an unfenced yard but not many neighbors, I have a fenced in balcony and lots of trails for walking dogs if that’s what they would like to do.
About: I have owned animals all my life and have plenty of enrichment activities- snuffle matts, snuffle balls, puzzle toys, regular toys, and a big yard to play in! I love animals and this is currently a full time job for me being a pet sitter and owner. I make my dog my life and we go for walks and adventures daily. I make a schedule for my own dog, which includes puzzle toys for breakfast, an afternoon walk or adventure, snuffle mats and balls for later, and plenty of cuddles throughout the day!
About: Animal lover with a passion for caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Reliable, patient, and attentive, with a focus on keeping pets safe, active, and happy on every walk. I'm currently not working, so I have plenty of time to cuddle and take care of your pets! My availability is wide open! Limited weekend hours. My home isn't pet friendly as my cats don't like friends. So any pet watching would have to be at your house or outside or another location.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 937 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Farmington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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. 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.
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
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
