“Tara is amazing! Tara stayed with our two puppies for 4 nights at our house. Tara is so kind and a great communicator. We got lots of pictures and updates. The puppies were so happy and well taken care of. Our dogs were for sure disappointed when their time with Tara ended.”

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I bring a well-rounded and deeply committed approach to pet care. I am the owner of Oh My Paws, a pet-sitting business I started during college, and have worked as a kennel technician, dog handler for Can Do Canines, and am currently completing an apprenticeship at a Humane Society. These roles have given me experience with a variety of temperaments, medical needs, and behavioral challenges. What truly sets me apart is my background in dog behavior and training. I am currently studying to earn my CPDT-KA (Certified Professional Dog Trainer – Knowledge Assessed) certification and have experience training service dogs through the Falcon Fetch program. This gives me a unique ability to understand body language, reduce stress in pets, and ensure a safe, enriching environment during their care. Pet care is a central part of my life and something I prioritize in my weekly routine. I have very open availability on weekends (Saturday–Sunday), and I’m also available on Mondays if needed. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent and dependable care, whether it’s for daily visits, overnights, or last-minute bookings. Because I run my own pet-sitting business and am actively involved in training and animal welfare work, I structure my schedule around the pets I care for. I take the time to provide each animal with individualized attention, exercise, enrichment, and a calm, safe environment. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I begin with a detailed intake to learn about each pet’s routine, medical needs, triggers, and preferences, and I tailor my care accordingly. I use positive reinforcement and clear communication to build trust with animals, helping them feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual routines as closely as possible to reduce stress. I’m respectful of the home environment, leave things exactly as I found them, and provide regular updates with photos and notes for peace of mind.

“Megan was wonderful! She spent a lot of time with our girls and showered them with affection. We received many photos and videos of them playing and relaxing outside, which ensured us they were doing fine. She even vacuumed and picked up before she left. Would definitely schedule with her again and highly recommend her.”
“It was comforting to have Kristin in our home pet sitting while we were away. Very professional and caring with our pup. It was a relief to know that if there was an emergency she could take care of it. Coco loves Kristin! Thank you for taking such good care of her!”

About: I’m a disabled veteran & dogs have always been my peace so i decided to start incorporating more of them into my daily life & call it “work” 🥰 pet-loving is part of my every day life! i take my own pups for walks in the morning before the heat, and during the warmest days of winter. i love being outside, playing with animals & taking care of them! i will use the app, frequent communications in texting, etc. along with pictures and videos to send to all my pet parents! walking the pups at least a mile, if they can, or more if requested! i also walk all my clients separately from others, so no need to worry about differing personalities.
“We have two elderly dogs that need kindness and someone to lay around with them. Vonnie was perfect! She was able to be with them. We will definitely book with her again..”

“We really liked Jenn from the start. Her communication is impeccable and she has a wonderful attitude around our dogs...confident and sweet. We look forward to her watching out dogs on a couple upcoming long weekends!”

About: Agnes Mable, my dachshund of 12 years taught me patience better than anyone. I love spending time cuddling, giving belly rubs, sniffling frito feet, & running around the yard chasing them like a screaming banshee. I stay at friends & neighbors houses frequently when they're away to watch their dogs, cats, & fish. I also have friends & neighbors dogs over for weeks at a time. I've been doing this the since moving back to Wisconsin in April 2024. I love taking care of pets like their my own. Once I have a fenced in yard, I will welcome another dachshund into my life, but until then I fill my cup with caring for other's doggos & kitty cats. I'm excited to meet you! Extra treats for pugs & extra belly rubs for the heavy weights that can fetch & return! I work from home & the days I'm traveling for work will be unavailable to book. We'll spend all day together! I've got a spacious yard, large back deck that gets direct sun light for the one's that like to bake, & if they get along with other dogs, sometimes I walk over to my sisters with them to meet my favorite pug, Potato! I live in a duplex on the bottom floor so it's easy in & out, no stairs. My yard is massive with lots of plants & trees to sniff around. I'll always take my fur friends outside on a leash. I do have a small crate available for dogs under 15 pounds, toys, treats, & extra leashes just in case you forget something. Most importantly, I have a big lamby & a small lamby.
“My experience in working with Taylor was excellent. Great communicator and most importantly cared for my 10yr lab while out in a work trip. Taylor went above and beyond what was required as she left the house spotless, and washed bedding and bathroom towels before leaving.”

“Deann was so easy to book with and did a great job. I could tell from her meeting my pups that I had nothing to worry about. She sent us picture updates and the house looked like no one had even stayed there. We would defintiely ask Deann to come back again.”

“And all I can say is outstanding! Cindy went above and beyond to make sure my pets for well taken care of! She sent pictures and was very responsive to my questions plus when I got home my house was cleaner then when I left!- I really could not have asked for more and would definitely have her back again!!!”
“My dogs love Bella! She gave them lots and lots of attention while she pet sit in our home. Bella took great care of my special needs gent, and gave my large, super active dog lots of extra exercise. I never had to worry about my dogs while I was away.”

About: I am outgoing, energetic, and a happy over achieving girl! You can always trust me. I’ve had dogs between golden retrievers, beagles , labs, blue healers, German Shepard’s I’ve dog sat and have been around them all! And let’s just say they love me :) So I do have a crazy job, so if you’re looking for someone to be there all day I won’t be your girl, I usually work 6-10 hours every day tue-Friday my hours vary depending on the day of the week my thursday hours (12-8)(fri8-3)(every other Saturday 8-2) (Sunday off) Mondays I work one Monday a month (4 hours) (tue 9-5 sometimes vary)(wed 8-8) I do massage therapy full time. But when I dog sit I only go to work and tend to your dogs! I make no plans and hangout with my furry friends all my free time I walk my dogs every day! I keep the homes clean just like you left them! And I’ll give the dogs all the love and snuggles in the world
“Leora stayed at our house for a week to watch our dog while we were out of town and she was amazing! She provided regular updates and took great care of our dog - even including taking her to the vet and taking great care of her when she was sick. Our house was very tidy when we got home and our dog was happy! Thanks, Leora!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my calm, patient approach and my ability to connect with pets of all personalities, especially shy or anxious ones. I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats my whole life, so I understand how to read their body language and respond to their needs with care and understanding. I’m also very reliable and communicative, so you’ll always get updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I have a flexible class schedule, which means I can stop by for walks or drop-in visits between classes and again later in the afternoon or evening. Spending time with animals is one of my favorite parts of the day; it’s a relaxing, happy break that keeps me active and grounded. Whether it’s a quick walk or some evening cuddle time, I always make sure each pet gets my full attention and care. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always make sure to keep their routines as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely — from feeding schedules to favorite toys and walking routes, so pets feel safe and at ease while their owners are away. I spend time playing, giving attention, and keeping their space tidy and calm. Since I live in a dorm, I don’t bring pets to my room, but I’m very dedicated to giving them the best care right in their own home, where they feel most comfortable.
“We booked Lauren to house sit for us and watch our dog for about a week while we were out of town. We're usually a little nervous every time we have to leave our dog since she can have a little bit of separation anxiety. But Lauren was fantastic. She regularly sent pictures/videos of our dog to keep us up to date and we felt like she was always a text a way if we needed anything. She walked our dog regularly as requested and kept her looking happy. Our house was in great condition as well when we got back. Would recommend Lauren to anyone needing a house/dog sitter and we will be booking her again next time we need.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,478 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.
