“Lindsay is great! We have three big dogs with totally different personalities and interests so they can be a bit of a handful. She followed our routine well, kept us updated, and went above and beyond loving them while we were out of town. Would recommend to anyone :)”
“Anne was amazing! Super communicative and easy going. She cared for and loved on our dogs like they were her own. She even sent picture updates of some of the happenings. I definitely recommend her for your dog sitting needs!”
“Amber did a great job taking care of the house, it looked better than when we left and the pups were all well cared for. We have a couple of tricky doggos one is aggressive with other dogs, outside of his pack, the other guards their food and one is just a bit older and can just be a little needy from time to time. All to say Amber did great and we’d recommend her without question. Thank you!!!”
“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!”
“We have never left our babies alone without a family member watching them. Tammy made us feel so comfortable. She communicated several times a day on how the dogs were doing, which put me at ease being away from them. I would highly recommend Tammy. She definitely treats your babies as her own. I already have our next sitting appointment with her!”
“I would recommend Karlee to anyone looking for a sitter. While she watched our Golden Retriever, she stayed in communication with us while we were away, sent photos with updates, took her on walks, left our space clean, and she took really good care of our girl. With our permission, she even took her over to her house during the day to play with her own dog. We had a great experience with Karlee and would book with her again!”
“Liz did a wonderful job watching our kids. We have one large dog and one small dog. Liz did a great job of catering to each of their needs. We could see through the pics that she sent with updates that they were happy and well cared for making it easy to relax while on vacation. And we came home to a clean house and happy dogs. We will definately reach out to her again when we need a sitter.”
“Lexi was great! She left the house as if she had never been there and sent pictures of our pup. It was nice to be stress free while away from home knowing our pup was in good hands!”
“Melia really connected with our cats (which is not always the case for sitters). She also handled a completely crazy situation that popped up with calm and professionalism. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Madison was incredible! We felt so comfortable having her in our home. Our pitty is a senior with some medical issues. Madison was so confident in giving her medicine and giving her extra love while we were away. We also got regular messages to let us know that things were going well and photos! It’s always so fun to get photos! Madison also happily helped a neighbor that needed help with a package. We have a close knit neighborhood, so it was so nice that she would help. We will definitely use Madison in the future and will recommend her to our dog friends!”
About: I've had animals in my household for the past 14 years. I currently have 3 cats and 1 dog, and I've cared for rabbits and fish in the past. I am comfortable with administering medications and handling special needs. I am available for dog boarding from Friday evening though Sunday evening. I can come over to your home and hang out with your animals every evening in the weekdays and a short check-in in the mornings as well I am flexible for whatever your fur babies require in their own home. I can keep them company if they're homebodies or take them on adventures outside the home of they like that as well
“We’ve used multiple dog/house sitters but this was our first experience with McKenna. We are THRILLED with this first experience and certainly will be hiring her again in the future! Not only did we come home to our two frenchies being safe and healthy, she also cleaned, vacuumed, and laundered the sheets from the bed she slept in! I’m giving her a 5 star review but only because there aren’t more stars I can give her! 😍”
“We couldn’t be happier with Zoe’s incredible care for our baby doggie, Caramel, while we were away on a family trip to Hawaii! From the moment we left, we knew Caramel was in the best hands. Zoe treated her like royalty, giving her so much love and snuggles that it almost made us jealous! We especially appreciated the regular updates, complete with photos of Caramel’s adorable antics and health check-ins. It brought us so much peace of mind knowing our sweet girl was happy and thriving while we were away. Zoe went above and beyond in every way, and we can’t recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pet as much as you do, Zoe is the one!”
“Thankful for the availability, communication and response time in finding a sitter for the dogs. The meet and greet was nice with Trista beforehand and for her to feel comfortable with the dogs/home. It looks like food got mixed up during the weekend and I also had to deep clean upon return home for some pet messes. I'd consider Trista for when we are in a pinch but with better written instructions.”
“Amber was extremely flexible with her schedule and after a last minute cancellation from my other dog sitter, she responded quickly to my Rover request. She was very attentive to the dogs but also the house and cleaning up. She put away my dishes and loaded the dishwasher and started it for me. We were just gone one evening but it was nice to come home to a clean home and happy fur babies. Thank you, Amber!”
“Laura took amazing care of my dog and was so easy to work with. This was my first time using Rover and Laura’s attention to detail made it so easy to enjoy my vacation! She’s awesome!”
“The dogs, and cats, absolutely loved Cameron. Which is quite impressive for my babies! And he sent updates by photo and messages letting us know what fun activities they were doing. Will definitely book with Cameron next time we leave town!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a kid. I would feed, walk and scoop the poop of my childhood dog for years. I also sitted for my sisters dog every day for a summer when she was a puppy. I currently have two cats and one kitten that enjoy a happy home full of treats, catnip and toys. I also have experience administering an inhaler to cats which I do morning and night for one of mine. I have open availability and can work Monday-Friday. I feed, clean the litter box, and play with my three cats daily and always make time to make sure they are happy and healthy. I have two cat trees for my cats to rest and relax on as well as plenty of toys, treats, and hard and wet food for them. I make sure to give them plenty of belly rubs and attention. I can assure that your cats and dogs will be happy, safe, and well fed with me in their care.

At risk of losing an amazing sitter, I must give her a 5-star rating. She not only provided daily photos and updates, but also kept my puppies in great health and spirit. She was able to administer some tricky meds and a special diet, to the point where I would say my senior dog, who was ill, was healthier upon my return. I have all the confidence in the world that she would be an asset to any person seeking her services.
Madison was incredible! We felt so comfortable having her in our home. Our pitty is a senior with some medical issues. Madison was so confident in giving her medicine and giving her extra love while we were away. We also got regular messages to let us know that things were going well and photos! It’s always so fun to get photos! Madison also happily helped a neighbor that needed help with a package. We have a close knit neighborhood, so it was so nice that she would help. We will definitely use Madison in the future and will recommend her to our dog friends!
McKenna is the real deal! I went out of country for a vacation super worried of my oversized, over-energetic dog would be well cared for - and McKenna more than met my expectations! She provided constant reports on how he was doing, with pictures, and made sure she followed the instructions I left to the letter. McKenna is a wonderful house AND dog sitter and I’m so glad I now have someone I can trust. My dog had a great time. Thank you McKenna!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Farmington on Rover is $31.08 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,522 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Farmington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Farmington. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
