“This was the first time leaving my dog and using Lili, it won’t be the last. Dobby was having such a great time I was worried he wouldn’t want to go home. I would definitely recommend Lili for any dog. You won’t find better!!”
“MJ is such a a caring and wonderful person! She took great care of our sweet Mielo. She sent pics each day and made us feel at ease. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her next time we go out of town. Thank you for taking care of my baby!”
“My puppy absolutely enjoyed her boarding, she cried on her way home when I picked her up. Susan and her kids took great care of my puppy. She sent pictures and updates multiple times daily. I will absolutely be using her again.”
“Douglania took care of my Senior English bulldog very well. She accomodated my request even though i gave her such a short notice. She made sure that he is fed, groomed (extrabut well worth it) and took him for his walks. I will definately have her again to take care of my bulldog in the future. I would give her 10 stars if I could.”
“Sam was absolutely amazing with our baby. This was our first time leaving our dog with a dog sitter that we didn’t intimately now and it was the best thing ever Sam is the absolute sweetest, most genuine caregiver I have ever met. The updates, the pictures, she answered my questions any time I had them about the dog. She was really amazing and it made her trip that much better because we knew our dog was being cared for.”
“Susana was great to work with. She was so sweet to our puppy. I felt very comfortable with her watching him for a week. She sent daily pictures and videos. We will definitely be using her again! Overall a wonderful experience!”
“We are very happy with Catherine. She takes good care of our girl Genie. Always sending pictures, videos and updates to keep my mind at ease. I truly appreciate her service. Thank you! 🤗”
“This was my first time using Rover and a pet sitter. Brian was amazing. He sent me updates and pictures several times a day, and my pups looked very happy. The best part of Brian’s service is that he works from home so my pups were with him all day. It made me feel good knowing that my pups weren’t in a kennel all day like they would be in at the pet resort I used in the past. I highly recommend Brian. He’s the best!”
“Rolanda is amazing. Fresh, my spoiled 13 year old min pin had never stayed with anyone other than family nor does he like other pets. So I was skeptical but she provided him with the same love and attention he gets at home and even got him to get along with another fur baby. She sent me daily updates, pictures and/or videos. She is absolutely amazing. I would definitely have her doggie sit Fresh again and recommend her to others. Wish I could give her more than 5 stars.”
“Westley wasn't feeling good on this trip. Vanessa and family shot straight into action and got Wesley to the vet. Thank goodness for her and her family. Thank you so very much. I didn't realize it had been so long and I hadn't said thank you!”
“Luke was amazing with our dogs! Our Irish setter scratched his nose while in Luke’s care and Luke did an outstanding job taking care of him and keeping it clean! We will be using him from now on!”
“Amanda is super friendly and we liked her from the time we initially met her. When we came to pick up our pet, he didn’t want to leave her home. Great service and communication and would re-book with Amanda in a heartbeat.”
“This was my first experience boarding my sweet girl but I felt very comfortable with Sarah and she took great care care of my baby. Would recommend her and use her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sanford
Daniela was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, she made the entire experience stress-free. She took wonderful care of Chulo and kept me updated with pictures every day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Her communication was excellent, and it was obvious that she genuinely cared about him. When Chulo came home, he settled right back into his normal routine, which tells me he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for during his stay. I would absolutely book with Daniela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my little guy!
Holly was absolutely amazing. She took my dogs in last minute for 3 days and nights without hesitation, which meant more to me than she probably knows. From the moment I left them with her, I felt at ease. She sent pictures and videos constantly throughout the day, including updates from every walk. She took them on multiple walks daily and kept them very active. She even cooked food for them and treated them with so much love and care — like they were her own children. That level of attention and accommodation is rare. I’m beyond impressed and genuinely grateful. Holly has such a vibrant, kind personality and it shows in how she cares for animals. My dogs clearly loved her, and that tells me everything. I would trust her again without hesitation. Highly recommend.
Theresa and her entire family take such good care of Senga! (who is "selectively social") Additionally they have an instinctual ability to know when certain dogs are good to play together and when they may need time alone. I can relax and enjoy my vacation knowing everyone is happy and safe!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sanford on Rover is $43.29 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 Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Sanford sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Sanford landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Sanford home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Sanford.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Sanford sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
