About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since childhood and truly treat every pet like family. Although renting limits the number of pets I can have, it gives me the opportunity to dedicate my time and attention to caring for others’ pets. I’d love to provide loving, dependable care for your furry friend while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom with flexible availability and a love for animals. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including puppies and senior pets. I’m happy to provide check-ins, companionship, and attentive care to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I would love to stay at play with them if they are playful! I am happy to take them on walks and if allowed give extra treats and cuddles!
“Grace is the best! She was very great with our two big dogs! She showed up on time and was very responsive which we appreciated. She sent photo updates daily which gave us peace of mind while we were on our trip. We definitely plan to re book with Grace, she is our go to dog sitter. Thanks again Grace!”
“Alex took great care of Myra and Clifford this past weekend! They kept us updated with regular check-ins, sent lots of photos, and followed all of our care instructions. I was especially nervous because Clifford can be reactive around other dogs, but Alex handled everything so well and gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear our pups were in great hands, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend!”

She sent many pictures of Mylo in each one he looked very happy! When we got home my house was clean & my dog was happy! That is the best thing to come home too.”
“Gwyneth was outstanding with my 15 year old kitty. She took on the challenge of staying with my kitty for 3 weeks and delivered like a champion. I HIGHLY recommend booking Gwyneth, she is AMAZING!”
“Ellen is absolutely amazing as a pet sitter and very professional! Ellen did a wonderful job house sitting my 2 1/2 yo Frenchie and my 10 yo Maine Coonewhile I was gone for 9 days. She is a great communicator and sent frequent updates, including photos…which helped this pet mama to relax on vacation. The house was immaculate when I returned home and most importantly, my fur babies were happy and well cared for. I can only give my highest recommendation for Ellen❤️”
“After we had family members and a neighbor cancel on us we went searching for a last minute person to watch our animals. We found GOLD with Dayton! He was highly communicative, always responded quickly, sent pics of our animals, and gave updates. I was so relieved to hear my pooch was getting her frisbee time! Plus my daughters loved receiving the pics of their cats. We will definitely ask for Dayton again! He also housesat for us and the place was just as we left it. THANKS DAYTON for taking care of our furbabies and our home!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Farmington
Hanna was so wonderful! I needed a last minute cat sitter for my spunky lil cat who was having skin issues and needed to be in a cone while I was away. Hanna was super responsive and so, so kind. She took excellent care of my cat and left the house spotless. She sent loads of photos and kept me updated on my cat’s antics. I would definitely recommend Hanna to anyone!
Hanna was an absolutely treasure to find on here. She came and met our little family and we immediately knew it was a good fit. Hanna was friendly and curious about our kitties, snakes, and hamster and she genuinely cared about their routines and how to care for them. She stayed in our home while we were on our honeymoon and she was respectful, our house was clean, and made our fur babies comfortable. She sent updates and she has excellent communication. We highly recommend Hanna for your critters needs!
Hanna was amazing with our two Aussie pups! They were pretty anxious with the fireworks, but she did everything she could to keep them calm and comfortable! She gave great updates with pictures throughout the whole weekend, which made me feel much better about leaving our pups at home! She played with them a ton in the backyard (the time lapse videos showed two very happy pups) and even worked on some training with them. We will certainly book with Hanna again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Farmington is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $48 per night. On Rover, 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.

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.
Tip: 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
