“We have a pretty demanding routine with three cats and a Guinea pig, but Vai and Adam were more than up for it. They communicated well, sent pictures, and went above and beyond when one of our cats got sick. We would definitely recommend them because it’s clear that they care.”
“Elizabeth was wonderful!! I am a very nervous kitty momma and she made my husband and I feel very reassured and comfortable that our babies would be well taken care of. She was very accommodating of my many strange requests. She stayed in contact and sent photos as promised. When we returned home, we found all 4 kitties happy, healthy, and content. We would definitely recommend Elizabeth if you need a kitty sitter and we plan to hire her again the next time we go out of town. A+++++”
About: I have grown up with dogs and have had dogs pretty much my entire adult life. My dogs have traveled with me from New York to Hawaii, Colorado and now Portland. Our dogs are family and they should be treated and loved as such! I work from home as a wedding photo editor and a children’s book artist so my schedule is extremely flexible. Just say the word and I can be there. Safety is an utmost concern. I served in the military for 7 years as a water treatment specialist. Situational awareness, discipline and the ability to adapt on the fly are things I still carry with me to this day. I will take care of your dog as though they are my own whether that’s playing, walking, engagement, or training.
“Melanie was amazing! She came to help Otie on short notice on Halloween and arrived right away. She was so warm and welcoming with him, and they became fast friends. She sent me photo and video updates, and Otie even gave her several kisses—which he usually saves for me and his dad! I’m especially grateful that Melanie stayed the full hour to make sure Otie ate a complete meal after he’d thrown up bile on an empty stomach. Her kindness, attentiveness, and genuine care put me at ease. I’m so thankful she was there for him, and I would absolutely recommend her!”
“Emily took great care of our cats and chickens! Our cats are 18 years old and require medications twice a day. She sent notes (via Rover cards) after every visit and also sent us many photos. This gave us such peace of mind and heart. Thank you, Emily!”
About: I moved back to Aloha in 2023 after 6 years in Central Oregon, where I first got involved with dog rescue and animal care. If there’s one thing people know about me, it’s that I’m a huge animal person. I don’t just "watch" pets; I really enjoy getting to know their personalities and making sure they feel safe while their owners are away. I have a lot of experience with the "tricky" stuff—dogs with high anxiety, medical needs, or those that just need a little extra patience. I'm used to following strict feeding schedules and making sure meds are taken on time, so you don't have to worry about their routine being disturbed. In addition to dogs and cats, I also have exposure to horses, pigs, goats, and chickens. I’m reliable, I’m a great communicator, and I’ll treat your animals like they’re my own. My goal is always to make sure they’re happy and you’re stress-free while you're gone! **References Available** Ps — Tell your dog I said, "Hi!" I currently focus my time on providing care for people's pets and I have a fairly open schedule to accommodate client needs. I spend my days outside and working with dogs, cats, chickens - you name it! I love what I do and look forward to caring for your pets too! In your home or mine, I respect the rules and routines you have in place for your pets. The dogs in my home will be kept separate from client dogs unless otherwise noted by the owner. Given the schedule I have for work and my personal dogs, your routine may vary slightly in my home. I have space for guest dogs so I can keep on a crate rotation to be able to meet and respect all the dogs' needs.
“Ganna was so wonderful with our new puppy! She sent photos and updates and took such good care of our dog. We have a puppy and were anxious to leave her for the first time, and Ganna made us feel at ease. She’s the best!”
“She was awesome with Newt, my 7 mo old kitten and Lola, my 10 year old parrot ♥️ I really appreciate how well she cared for them while we were gone. She was extremely communicative and put our minds at ease as it was our first time booking a pet sitter”
About: I've been dog sitting for friends and family for over 7 years. I love dogs and love going on walks with them! I have experience with nervous dogs and higher energy dogs, I've dog-sat rescues, 1-year-olds with their bouncing off the walls, and seniors. I help my mom with in-home child care during the week from Monday to Thursday but I have free time outside of that. I usually can start the day by 7am but will start moving earlier if the dog needs it! I have a smaller fenced backyard with some dog neighbors. We have some guinea pigs in our home but they're upstairs in an elevated cage with a gate at the bottom of the stairs. The neighborhood has a variety of routes I can go on of different lengths to fit your dog's needs.
About: Hello 👋🏻 I’ve been a pet lover my whole life! I grew up with cats, birds, rodents, and became a dog mom as a college student in 2015. I know how hard it can be to juggle the demands of life, work, family, and travel while still feeling like your pets are well cared for. My current household has a Husky/Malamute mix, an American Hairless Terrier, and two domestic cats, one long furred and one standard. I’ve also had the joy of being a paw-rent to guinea pigs, gerbils, birds, and hermit crabs! I have experience with all ages of animals. I’ve seen critters through stomach bugs, skin conditions, anxiety - you name it! I’ve been trusted by friends, family members, neighbors, and other community members for many years to care for their pets. Every critter deserves attentive care. If you just need someone to take pet meal time or playtime off your plate, I’m your gal! You can trust that I will care for your furry (or furrless) family member as well as if they were my own. Please note, walks are no included in drop-in services. I am open to caring for animals that are not cats or dogs, as long as they fall within the River terms of service! Please feel free to message me regarding small or other animal care. While I do not offer training services, I am a firm believer in positive reinforcement and fear-free training practices and utilize only those methods with my own critter crew. I’m a student and a part time worker. Most of my availability is in the mornings, or evenings. The days of the week can vary, but my schedule is updated frequently for accuracy. I’m usually available for meal time drop ins, or play and socialization. I am always careful to leave a home how I found it. I am a double-checker! That includes double-checking that all pets are accounted for, safe, cared for, and comfortable as well as that all the doors are locked, keys are left in the correct place, and pet parents are kept informed. I am also no stranger to an escape artist pet, and I am always cautious when entering or leaving.
“Found a new reliable dog walker for our sweet Gooby and we could not be happier! Lynden provided updates, photos, and videos every step of the way! We will definitely be staying with Lynden for dog care from here on out, and highly recommend her services!”
“Sydney is always incredibly thoughtful in how she cares for our pets. We always know they are in good hands with get. She is incredibly communicative while we're away. We will continue to book her.”
About: I love animals and my partner won't let me get more. To satisfy my need to be around animals, I figured it's best to take care of other people's. So I'll never give you trouble about rates because I'm just happy to get snuggles and kisses from your pet... I'm a stickler for rules, so If you give me a list of everything your pup needs, I will provide and I will do it happily. I wouldn't want less than A1 care for my own pup, so I can guarantee to show yours the same love My schedule is flexible. I work from home for my own business all 7 days of the week, so there's not a lot to have to work around, depending on your needs For boarding: I have a fenced home and my dog doesn't get along with other dogs BUT she is very content staying in my bedroom all day, so I see no issues there. She won't bark all day and is well trained. I work from home so I can very easily take any pets out to the bathroom as frequently as needed. I tend to walk my own dog 2x/day morning and night. For the client's home, I will abide by any rules you may have for me
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life. Most recently I had two wonderful Boxers who both had medical conditions and required medication every day. One of which had a very specific routine requiring multiple special feedings a day. I am a first responder, am first aid and CPR trained, and will treat your furry companion like family. I recently lost my soul dog so am very flexible on the days I don’t work. Unfortunately I work 12 hours shifts so I can’t commit to the first half of the week. I will treat your pet as my own, and will respect your home like I would want someone to respect mine. I will follow all rules you set forth meticulously.
About: I have been walking dogs for the past 7 years ago and I have been pet sitting for about 5 years. I have experience working with with all ages of dogs from puppies to seniors, and various sizes and breeds. I love caring for people's pets while they are away and making sure that the animals are comfortable and happy! I also have experience cat sitting and love cats just as much as dogs!! I have two cats of my own, and grew up having dogs! I also currently work with puppies on the weekends :) I work on the weekends and have off most of the week, so I have a pretty open schedule Monday through Friday! I’d love to spend time hanging with and caring for other peoples animal during the week! I care for pets by introducing myself to them, letting them sniff me, and building trust and a relationship. I am happy to follow any directions given to provide quality care to clients’ pets! I also make sure to do unspoken things, like refill water bowls, etc. Since I’ve had pets all my life, I am very familiar with how to care for them :)
About: Hi! I’m Tiffany, and I’ll be staying in the Beaverton area from October 01 through October 12 (I’m originally from Hawaii but in the process of moving to Oregon) I’d love to spend some of my time caring for pets while I’m here! I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone new, so I’ll always follow your instructions carefully and respect your pet’s normal routine. I’m happy to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and keeping your pet company. I can also send photos and updates during each visit so you know how your pet is doing. Every animal has their own personality, so I’m comfortable taking things slowly with pets who need a little extra time to warm up. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind. 🐶 I’m currently on-call with my other jobs but I have PLENTY of free time. My schedule is super flexible and always at home or on the go! I live in a two story home which is gated all around the house. There are 8 family members that I live with which love dogs! So your pet will be given extra love and care! I have two dogs living in my home as well and are super friendly when it comes to other pets coming to play!
About: I’ve unofficially trained my parents dog, and currently training my puppy! I am learning a lot along the way, and more than willing to share. I am currently working on my masters online! Dropping in on your pet and getting out of the house fits really well with my schedule! My program is flexible. I am very attentive, making sure they meet all of their enrichment needs and mental stimulation. I’ll learn your dog’s favorite way of plays and bring one of my DIYs enrichment toys if needed!
About: We adopted our dog Mandu when he was just 8 weeks old. He's almost 5, and is a very happy, healthy, and active dog. Our experience raising Mandu ensures that we can take great care of your pup. Both my husband and I are passionate dog lovers. We take Mnadu to hikes, long walks and beach days. I cook wet meals for Mandu for a month of supply. Our home will be your pet's home away from home! I am a full-time office worker, available to board or walk your pup on weekends. We always take our dog on trail hikes or long walks around the neighborhood during the weekends. My husband is more flexible and he would be able spend more time with pets during the weekdays.

Any special care requests are welcomed.

We had a wonderful experience with Adam! We were a bit nervous about leaving our newly adopted kitties for the first time, but Adam handled everything smoothly. He followed our care instructions and sent adorable picture updates during every visit. He was always quick to respond and came over for a meet-and-greet beforehand to get acquainted with the cats. We highly recommend Adam and will definitely be booking with him again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Farmington is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $24 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 6,796 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Farmington. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
