“Baileigh did an amazing job watching all of our pets. We have a lot and she was able to handle all of their quirks and needs well. She was super communicative and sent a ton of adorable photos of everyone every day. She was fantastic to work with.”


About: I have experience working on a ranch and having animals in my home. I am a big believer that animals deserve to be taken care of and shown love. Whatever your pets needs, I'm happy to accommodate so they get the care they deserve! I am looking for a side gig and my schedule is extremely flexible. My goal is to accommodate your timing needs as much as possible. Willing to negotiate different hours. Since your pet will be staying at your home, you know you can trust their environment. I plan to take pictures every time I interact with your pet to send to you (if you'd like of course) so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is being loved.
“Lexi was great with my kitten! She was flexible with times and did a meet and greet beforehand. She sent pictures and updates on how my cat was doing while I was gone. Will definitely be using her again for petsitting!”

“Catrine “Cat” was everything I could have asked for. My regular sitter cancelled a month before my vacation and I found Cat on here. We did a meet and greet and my boys were comfortable with her, which isn’t always the case. They can be selective. Leading up to the booking Cat reached out to offer to come over the morning before I left to make sure she had all the information she needed, which I appreciated. While away she kept in daily contact with text and pictures assuring me the boys were safe, well taken care of and having a great time. She was concerned my one dog was looking a bit skinny because I had changed his food and asked if take could feed him more, for her to notice and ask was a great feeling knowing she was paying attention to them. My other boys takes medication and she had no problem giving him his “pill pocket” twice a day. My dogs have a walker and she texted me commenting on how happy the boys seemed to be with Cat. She was respectful of my home and it was neat and tidy and the bed sheets and towels were washed and folded, above and beyond. If you want to leave your animals in caring, loving hands then Cat is your person. She will definitely be my go to for future sitting during my vacations.”

“It was our first house sitting and while there were some hiccups and an unexpected situation both Shayla and Derek did amazing. 20/10 ⭐️ Excellent communication and frequent updates ✅ Puppies were happy and anxiety free ✅ House was clean ✅ If you’re looking for someone who will love your fur babies like their own look no further. Very highly recommended!!”

“Julie is Fantastic! She took great care of my senior terrier, and my old girl who only really likes me warmed up to Julie quickly. Communication was Reliable and always quick, and I received great photos. I will be booking again!”

About: Growing up on a farm surrounded by large dogs and with parents who volunteered at Hogle Zoo, I developed a deep-seated belief that animals and wildlife are an extension of our family, deserving of our protection and care. I fostered a profound respect for all our animal friends. My hands-on experience further expanded through working with horses in equine therapy and helping my partner in her grooming salon, where I've become proficient in bathing and drying both dogs and cats. This role has sharpened my ability to recognize and respond to the subtle sensitivities of these animals, enhancing an intuitive connection with them that doesn’t stop giving. As a dedicated pet parent to my own dogs and cats, I consistently apply a compassionate and knowledgeable approach to animal welfare. I’m a Private Chef by trade and have a lot of open availability. I travel for work and can travel to you, too! A lot of my work entails paperwork I do from home, making frequent check-ins possible and welcome. As a dedicated in-home pet sitter, I offer a comprehensive and compassionate approach to animal care, ensuring your pets thrive in their familiar environment. My experience includes professional grooming(bathing and drying only. Please refer out for complete groom), allowing me to maintain your pet's comfort and hygiene. I feel really confident in caring for animals who may experience stress in new situations. I can providing a calm and reassuring presence. Beyond direct pet care, I provide meticulous attention to detail. Home is Heaven. I’m a jack of all trades and your pet sitter could include light yard care, cleaning and professional meal prep to ensure your home remains, BETTER and MORE COMFORTABLE than you left it. My commitment is to deliver reliable, stress-free care, treating your pets and home with the utmost respect and diligence. Who knows? In a time that is desperate for community, maybe we’ll make life long friends in the process.
About: I’ve taken care of animals almost my entire life! Growing up, I’ve had chickens, cats, dogs, fish, and all kinds of pets. When my family goes out of town, I usually help care for their 5 dogs, so I’m very comfortable caring for multiple pets at once. Over the past year, I’ve also started regularly watching my grandpa’s big dogs and my neighbors’ pets, including their fish, cats, and dogs. They’ve trusted me to feed, walk, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I also have my own fur baby Frankie, a mini Bernedoodle who is a huge part of my family. He’s playful, loving, and keeps me on my toes! Having Frank has taught me even more about understanding a dog’s individual personality, needs, and routines. I truly love animals and want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while their family is away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my week. I currently work as a nanny about 8 hours a week, and I’m also an esthetician working about 4 days a week for 5–6 hours per shift. Because my shifts are shorter and I have flexibility throughout the week, I have plenty of time before and after work to care for pets, take them on walks, play with them, and give them the attention they need. I’m also used to balancing my schedule around the pets I care for and making sure they get consistent care and attention. My rates are negotiable and also depend on how many pets I’m watching. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and familiar. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll also make sure their space stays clean and tidy. I have a very active dog of my own, Frank, and my husband and I take him to the dog park near our home about 4 times a week, where he gets to interact with dogs of all different sizes and personalities. He also gets regular walks and frequent bathroom breaks throughout the day. Because of this, I’m very comfortable with energetic dogs, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of exercise and attention. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’ll take the time to learn what works best for each pet and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away.
About: I'm Fear Free certified, which means I'm trained to keep pets calm, comfortable, and stress-free, especially the anxious or shy ones. My clinic background also means I'm comfortable giving medications, noticing when something seems off, and knowing when a vet visit is needed. I have a special soft spot for senior pets. Older dogs often need a slower pace, extra patience, gentle handling, and closer attention to their routines and health, and I'm happy to give them all of that. Whether your pup is a rowdy youngster or a sleepy senior, they'll be treated like family. I live in Bountiful with my own little mixed-breed sidekick, Monty, who also loves meeting new friends (if your pup is social!). Send me a message. I'd love to hear all about your pet and set up a meet-and-greet! I'm usually available weekday mornings & evenings (mid day if it’s close to Bountiful for a potty break), and anytime during the weekends. I plan my day around the pets I'm caring for so meals, walks, and meds happen on time. For overnight or boarding stays, your pet won't be left alone for long stretches, and I'll always let you know my plans ahead of time. Message me with your dates, and I'll do my best to make it work! When I care for pets in your home, I treat your space and routine with the same respect I give your pets. I follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, litter boxes, and any house rules, and I keep things as close to normal as possible so your pet feels secure. Using Fear Free techniques, I let shy or anxious pets come to me at their own pace and keep the environment calm and quiet. My vet clinic background helps me spot changes in eating, bathroom habits, energy, or behavior, and I'll contact you right away if anything seems off. I'll also tidy up after your pet, bring in mail or packages if you'd like, and make sure doors are locked when I leave. You'll get updates and photos throughout so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Alex was amazing with my 3 ladies ( Beela oy soon yo be 6 year old Schnaussie, Daisy, our 3 year old Aussie, and Willow our 4 year old Aussie) He sent daily pictures and all 3 were happy. I would sneak a peak in the backyard cameras, he was throwing the ball and giving them a lot of attention. Alex is kind. I would have him again when needed.”


“Rin was great! My dog absolutely loves Rin, and my seems like he had a good time as well. Rin was responsive, the communication was great, and the house was in pristine condition when we got back. Will definitely hire Rin again.”

About: Animals have been the center of my world since I was 10 years old, when I got the dog who became the love of my life. Because my current apartment doesn't allow pets, I am looking to connect with dogs elsewhere and give them all the love I miss sharing at home. Whether I am dropping in for a quick walk or staying at your home for a house sit, your pup becomes my absolute top priority. I know how deeply you love your dog and how tough it is to be away, so I will send plenty of photo and text updates to keep your mind at ease. I am highly experienced with long-term stays, respect your home completely, and will treat your dogs with the same deep affection that I give my own. On weekdays I am fully available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight house sitting starting at 4:30 PM. On Saturdays and Sundays, my calendar is wide open and I am available all day. When caring for your pet in your home, safety and respect for your space are my highest priorities. I stick strictly to your established routines, feeding schedules, and household rules to keep things consistent and stress-free. I make sure doors and gates are always securely locked, and I keep a close eye on your pup during walks to ensure they are safe and comfortable. My goal is to leave your home exactly how I found it, while ensuring your dog feels completely safe, loved, and fully cared for until you return.
About: I’ve taken care of doggies of all kinds (big to small, puppy to senior) for most of my life. When I was younger I was trusted by many in my neighborhood whether it was staying with their dogs, having them stay with me, or getting them out for walks! I have also cared for a family friend’s three dogs for two weeks at a time on multiple occasions, so I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets and keeping up with their routines. I have a pup back home named Scruffy, he just celebrated his sweet 16🐶. My schedule is very flexible right now, so I’m able to give your pets lots of attention throughout the day and keep them company. I am happy to care for them in my home or come to yours, whatever makes you and your pet most comfortable! Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. My home has a fenced-in yard, which gives dogs a secure space to get outside and play. I’m also happy to follow any specific feeding, walking, or care instructions to make sure each pet feels comfortable and right at home.
“I’m so happy we’ve found Kelly! I’d never needed a puppy sitter before, but found myself in that very situation while planning a week-long vacation not long after we welcomed Stella, a miniature schnauzer puppy, to our household. Kelly went out of her way to meet with us on two different occasions, was happy to answer any questions we had, and had a sweet demeanor that calmed my worries and made me feel like I was leaving Stella in good hands. She sent photos with updates on how Stella was doing while I was gone, as well as being very diligent in keeping her on her same schedule she had been on at home. When I picked Stella up from her home the evening I got back, she seemed happy and content to have been with Kelly and her family. Thank you Kelly for taking such good care of Stella. I’m so grateful to know you, and will happily use you as our “pup sitter” in the future!”
“Kimmie was amazing with our husky Royal. She came over before hand and talked with us to know what to expect. Royal loved her!! Since working from home, we never lock him up anymore, so it was great that she could stay with him and work from my home! She sent updates and was great communicating with me. We'll be repeat customers with her for sure. I've had a bad experience with the last person I booked so I was nervous about booking again, but Kimmie put my mind at ease and did a fantastic job!”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and love caring for pets of all ages and breeds! I’ve cared for my parents’ Lab/Border Collie mix and many friends’ pets. I’m familiar with basic dog training and understand the exercise, patience, and attention pets need. I’d love to care for your furry friend! I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to give your furry friend plenty of love and attention. I have main-floor living and access to a shared fenced in neighborhood yard. When dog sitting I typically offer 1–3 walks per day, with potty and play breaks as often as every 30 minutes! I have a fenced in yard which is shared with my neighbors. Dogs are required to be on leash at all times, it’s perfect for a quick walk for a potty break and I live very close to a park which is perfect for playing. I cover my furniture with sheets so pets are welcomed on any furniture!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Farmington
We love having Madison watch our dog! She is incredible! We always get the sweetest photos, which is so fun when we are away. This time, we were states away and we weren’t sure how late we would make it home. Madison was so flexible and happy to stay until we knew we would make it at a decent hour. She made sure to stay until night medications could be given and that our pup didn’t need anything else. She takes such great care of our girl and we are so grateful!

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.
