“Valerie did an amazing job with my two cats. It is such a comfort having someone like her stopping in to check on them. I highly recommend her and would absolutely book again. She's a cat whisperer!”
“Baileigh did a wonderful job with our cat Babette! Babette's mood was warm and happy when we returned. She warmed up to her right away. Baileigh kept us updated with cute pics and our place was just as we left upon return!”
“Outstanding sitter! Great communication throughout the petsit, including photos, which made my heart so happy. Lindsay was clean and tidy, she laundered sheets and towels, washed all her dishes, took out the trash, and our home was freshly vacuumed. In fact, we've already booked our next sit with Lindsay. She is terrific!”
“Hannah is exactly the type caretaker you want for your cat while you are away. She is very loving, kind hearted and thoughtful which puts your pet at ease without stress. It's an immediate attachment between the two. This helped me to not worry as well. I give her my highest recommendation and know that I would readily call upon her again.”
“Tiffany was the best kitty babysitter! She sent us so many photos and videos of our babies while we were gone. One of my cats got scared of the fireworks and Tiffany sat in our unfinished basement with her to help her feel safe. She kept our home clean and did exactly as we asked. The cats were happy when we arrived back home. We will definitely work with Tiffany again in the future!”
About: I am new to formally boarding animals. My son had a cat that passed away (at his dad's house) and he really wants to have pets. Since we don't have a yard to have a pet full time, we are doing Rover to have fun and still let him enjoy animals. We make sure to take pets for walks morning and night and if I am working from home, I can do a lunch one as well. I do not have a fenced yard, but we will take them just down the street to a couple parks. Please provide crates. If we are doing a drop in at your home and you have a yard, we will let your pet out for a break while we are there.
About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been one of the greatest joys in my life. Growing up around a farm taught me that every animal has its own unique personality, needs, and way of communicating. To me, pets are family, and I care for them with the same love, patience, and respect that I would my own. I'm attentive, reliable, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal's routine and personality. I have a strong intuition when it comes to animal behavior and always strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. Whether that means keeping up with exercise, medications, special diets, playtime, or simply providing a calm, reassuring presence, I'm committed to giving every pet the highest level of care. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved companion is in caring, capable hands. I'm self-employed and work part-time in several different roles, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I can easily plan my work around house sitting, dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet care to make sure your pets receive the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. My flexibility allows me to accommodate a variety of schedules and provide dependable, attentive care while you're away. I provide personalized, in-home care based on each pet's unique needs and your preferences. I offer overnight house sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, medications, litter box cleaning, exercise, playtime, and lots of love and attention. Not only do I care for cats and dogs, but I'm also happy to help care for other household pets according to your instructions. I believe in leaving your home just as I found it—or even a little better. I'm happy to help with light household tasks while you're away, and I can provide additional services, such as basic grooming, by request. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible by giving your pets exceptional care and treating both your home and your animals with the same respect I would my own.
“Christine was amazing! She visited our place daily to take great care of our young kitten while we were away. She clearly did a wonderful job and kept us updated, even ensuring our house stayed nice and tidy while we were away. We truly appreciated Christine keeping our kitten happy and our minds at ease while travelling. Thank you Christine!”
“John takes terrific care of Our Lennon. Gives him attention when Lennon, wants it. He takes him for walks outside on his leash to get the exercise and, make sure that he eats OK on schedule. He’s definitely a great animal care person.”
“Ashley really did a great job with my pups. From the first meet and greet to the days she stopped in. She kept in touch with me and send me pictures. She is very professional and loving. I will be using her in the future and highly recommend!!”
About: Pets are members of our family, and our family deserves to be taken care of. I absolutely adore animals, I have pets of my own, and they are my whole world. I have an adorable Maltese named Fizzgig and a Black Cat named Thackery Binx. Prior to this dog, I had a Maltese named Tinkerbell. I just want to be able to care for other animals as I have cared for mine. We all have responsibilities that keep us away from home most days, and we want to be sure our little fur babies are well-cared for in our absence. I can promise you that I will provide to their every need, and maybe even spoil them a little bit! I’m a published author, and I spend way too much time locked up inside writing. I need to get out and walk and have a break from the soul-sucking experience of sitting in front of the screen all day. I hate sitting idle. I have too much energy. Dogs have too much energy. It's a perfect match! I need something else to keep me moving in a day, and playing with precious animals seems like the perfect job! I can crate or leash dogs to ensure they will not run away, and if your cat is exclusively a house cat, I am well accustomed to keeping those quick felines from darting outdoors.
“Deena was the PERFECT sitter for a control freak like myself. She follows instructions and listens well for what’s important to you and your pets. Deena seemed comfortable caring for my elderly cat and the young one, AND left me with TOTAL peace of mind while I travelled. She was on time for her scheduled visits, and made sure to leave detailed notes and photos from each stop in. 10/10 recommend hiring her for reliability and kindness”
“Brandi was amazing to work with. She communicated with me from the very beginning, asked thoughtful questions at our meet and greet, and provided my dog with great care. I never worried while I was away from home. This was my first time using Rover. If it's as easy as Brandi makes it, I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Natasha was great! She made sure our puppy was taken care of and gave it time to play with toys. No accidents when we came home! She responded within a few hours of my initial request, which worked perfectly for us.”
“Kimmie gave me peace of mind that my fur baby would be well taken care of. She sent photos of each visit showing a happy kitty. This is the first time I have used a pet sitting service and I will definitely be using her again in the future if the need arises.”
“They took care of my babies with such care and great pics. They even got good pics of the angry feline we lovingly refer to as “Asscat”. Thank you so much for taking such great care of them. They were very good communicators and quick with responses. Very helpful.”
“Camrie was very nice & made entering very convenient! With all the stuff we thought our cats may need for their first outing, that was a huge plus. Thanks again!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Farmington
Anna is fantastic. She watched our two cats, and was awesome! We'd never had a pet sitter before, and her calm, friendly vibe was very reassuring. Anna's communication is also excellent. She provided regular, detailed updates with photos. She was attentive to our cats' comfort and safety, and even sprayed for ants outside when she saw they'd gotten inside around the cat food. She also took out our trash cans, which was above and beyond. We would definitely choose Anna again, and highly recommend her services.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Farmington is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $26 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
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.
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 .

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.
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.
