This enables me to provide visiting dogs with the attention, love, and exercise they require, while also creating a nurturing and comfortable environment. Additionally, it offers my son valuable opportunities to learn about animal care and responsibility. My home features a fenced backyard with chickens, providing a stimulating and natural environment for dogs to explore and roam.

Additionally, I follow the specific care instructions provided by pet owners, customizing my approach to meet the unique needs and preferences of each pet.
About: I have grown up with dogs quite literally my entire life, both big and small. I have more experience with bigger dogs as well as puppies. I know how to feed, walk, bathe, and most importantly, entertain them! I used to live in a house where I was a full-time dog nanny to a Husky and Dalmatian while their owners were away at work. Dogs are my life, and I can’t wait to hang out with the cutest things on earth! I currently work in retail, so my schedule can vary. However, I am committed to ensuring your dog receives plenty of attention and care. On days when I work more, I will start my morning by giving your dog ample playtime and affection. After my shift, I enjoy going for a walk to stay active, which would also be a great opportunity for your dog to get some exercise. Despite my work schedule, I will always prioritize your pet’s well-being, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. I treat any dog as if they are my own. I also believe in open communication so you will be updated with lots of pictures and responses throughout my time with them.
“This was the first time someone other than family watched my 2 doggies while out of town. Lexi put me at ease with daily notifications and pictures! I will definitely book Lexi again to watch my pups. Hopefully they didn’t scare her away 🤣”
“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.”
“Tiffany was fantastic—attentive, reliable, and clearly cared a lot about my cat’s well-being. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Kaylee was so helpful and great with my dogs. It’s so nice to know they are well taken care off! She is a quick communicator and very thorough. Thank you - we’ll see you again soon”
About: My whole life I’ve grown up taking care of lots of animals! Such as dogs, cats, rodents, chickens, tortoises, chinchillas, and fish! I currently have 3 fish tanks, 3 chinchillas and a cat, I pride myself on taking the absolute best care of all animals! Currently I am looking for a new job so I am available all hours and have the time to be able to provide lots of love to your animals! I have tons of practice giving medication to all sizes of dogs(biggest I’ve given meds to was an Irish wolf hound), as well as kittens and adult cats and for a year straight my chinchilla required syringe feeding and medication. As well as i absolutely love playing with the animals and making sure they are properly looked after and all their requirements are met!
“Amber provided amazing care for our cat while we were out of town for a few days! We were so relieved our cat warmed up to her right away as he is very picky about who he lets in his space. He has his own way of letting us know if he wants pets or not and she was very good at reading his cues and body language. She is very communicative and sent us a lot of pictures and videos while we were gone. Definitely would recommend!”
About: I’m a high school senior who’s grown up with animals of every kind — dogs, cats, ferrets, hamsters, even fish — and I love caring for them all. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Between school and dance I stay busy, but I always make time for furry (or fluffy!) friends. I have my own car, so it’s easy for me to come to you for walks or drop-ins, or boarding at my home. I’m a student with a set school and dance schedule, but I’m available most mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m great at working around routines and can usually make things fit if I have a little notice. I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for — keeping things clean and sticking to their usual routine as much as possible. I have a big fenced yard and two friendly, fixed large dogs (one male, one female), so any pets who stay here just need to be good with other dogs. Everyone’s comfort comes first.
About: I’ve been a dog person my entire life and love being able to assist them in their needs love on them and many more. Fun. I currently work but my availability is open to make sure I’m there when the dogs need me and love them and play with them. I’m such a fun Person to be around I have 4 dogs myself and love them so much and I can’t imagine loving someone else’s.
“Isela was our 1st Rover sitter and tremendous with my 2 large dogs. I had so much anxiety about traveling because my special needs pittie has a million special needs. Additionally, German Shepards and pitbulls aren’t for everyone. They are big, vocal, and a handful. Isela was extraordinarily attentive, and meticulous with ALL my “helicopter dog mom” lists. She went above and beyond. Her reports were more detailed than I could have ever expected. She noted EVERYTHING for me. Isela cared for my dogs exactly the way I would have, and allowed me to feel relaxed on vacation. When we got home, the dogs almost seemed bummed we weren’t Isela!! They LOVED her!! I cannot thank her enough!!”
About: I have 2 years of experience working in dog daycare and boarding facilities. I’m knowledgeable about a variety of breeds and temperaments. I’m experienced with senior care as I have a little senior of my own. I’m currently working early mornings at a dog daycare which keeps my nights free for drops in visits and walks. I usually have open availability on the weekends. I have a fenced yard and a schnauzer/ yorkie mix who does well with small dogs. I also have a border collie/Aussie Mix who loves all dogs. I love of all animals and you can trust me to treat your dog as if they were my own.
“JESSICA IS THE BEST!!! Not only did my cats receive extremely fantastic care, but she also made sure that the entire visit from the moment she came into the house from the moment she left was very kind and caring!! She went above and beyond our expectations, will DEFINITELY be using her again!! 😁”

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.
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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Farmington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
