“Just gotta say, wow. Juan and his husband were amazing. We first did a meet and greet so we could see how our dog, Onyx, got along with them and their dogs. That went great and we dropped him off for his stay! Juan and his husband are very communicative, we got lots of updates, pictures and videos of Onyx. Juan and his husband are very attentive people! They made sure Onyx was playing safely, didn't eat anything he shouldn't and overall was acting safe and felt comfortable. We definitely found our new regulars. Onyx loved them and will be back!”
“I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to leave our beloved family member pup in good hands when we can’t take him with us. Cristy takes great care of Maui and has a blast while he’s there. This is Maui’s second stay with Cristy and already booked the third time.”
“A Doggie Paradise! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for my sweet June! From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in loving, capable hands. She came home happy, tail-wagging, and delightfully exhausted from all the fun she had. The backyard is a dream—truly a dog’s playground—with plenty of space to run, explore, and make new friends. Throughout her stay, I received tons of pictures and videos that showed June playing, cuddling, and bonding with her new buddies. It was such a comfort to see her so joyful and engaged. The updates made me feel like I was right there with her, and I could tell she was being cared for with genuine affection. June can’t wait to go back—and honestly, neither can I. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pup like family, and I’m so grateful we did. Highly recommend!”
“David has been very flexible and accomodating. The dates i booked my boy was he's break and still accepted and took very good care of my fur baby. I'd be lost without you David. I know my boy has been happy without mom and dad for 3 days because there was You, Sadie and Rosie to keep him busy. Worry-free.”
“Chayla was great ! Take you for the cute videos and photos of my Chloe ! She was very responsive to messages and even was able to accommodate my cat for an additional night last minute. Thank you!”
“Joanna is great. It was such a relief knowing our dog was in safe, loving, and attentive hands while we were away. We will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her service!”
“Miranda & Curtis is the perfect family I found to watch my two German Shepherd’s! Gave me cute updates with pictures and videos and their own dog, Lucky, made our dogs feel at home. I have booked twice so far and will continue my boarding with them.”
“We love Catherine! She provides so much enrichment and care for our energetic pup. She's always updating us and makes sure her home feels like a home away from home for our dog. Thanks Catherine!!”
“So kind and a great communicator. Thank you for caring for Bonnie Bella with love. We look forward to seeing you in the future as our entrusted partner when my family and I are away.”
“I recently hired Susana to take care of my two beloved dogs while I was out of town, and I couldn't be happier with the service she provided. Not only did she send me daily updates and pictures of my pups, but she also showed them so much love and attention during her time with them. I could tell from the updates that my dogs were in great hands and were being well taken care of. It gave me such peace of mind knowing that they were being looked after by someone who truly cared for them. Susana went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were happy and comfortable, and I am so grateful for that. I highly recommend Susana to anyone in need of a reliable and loving pet sitter. She is truly a gem and I will definitely be using her services again in the future. Thank you, [dog sitter's name], for taking such good care of my fur babies!”
“It was our first time having a dog sitter for daisy, and I couldn’t recommend Susann highly enough. Susann and her family took wonderful care of our anxious furbaby. She was understanding and calmed her anxiety as soon as we left daisy in their care. Susann went above and beyond to ensure daisy was comfortable and happy, providing daily updates with pictures. She walked daisy everyday twice along the trails and daisy had a wonderful time! Lots of cuddles and playtime. It was such a comfort knowing she was loved and taken care of. Thankyou for your incredible care and for giving us peace of mind while we were away. We are so grateful!”
“Laurie was wonderful! Our pups had an absolute blast! She sent updates, videos and pictures throughout their stay. Reached out with questions and let us know any concerns. Will book with her again!”
“I am new to Rover.com and leaving my miniature schnauzer, I was extremely nervous. However Amanda was GREAT with taking care of my Dog. She is very caring and lovable with Betty. Amanda was quick to respond and sent pictures. Differently will be using her again and recommend!!!!”
“Excellent! Sasha has truly been an angel in disguise. Had a last minute medical emergency and she was able to take care of my kitty cat Colby for me. I would highly recommend Sasha. Very nice people and extremely helpful. A+++ Thank you!!”
“Sam is friendly and professional. Sam emails and sends pictures of Sol, my 9 year old cockapoo. She lets me know if he is not eating and prepares special for him. Sol loves going to stay with Sam and her family. This is s perfect match!”
“This was the second time we used Sarah. She genuinely cares for animals and we could tell by how she followed our instructions for taking care of our dogs. She was also very accommodating to make our dogs comfortable and gave us updates on how our dogs were doing. We are very glad to have found her and will definitely use her again in the future. During our entire vacation our minds were at ease because we knew our dogs were in safe hands.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sanford
We had a great experience! She was very understanding of Susy’s needs and adapted to her personality and behavior. Susy is not always an easy dog, especially now that she’s getting older, so we really appreciated her patience and the way she gave Susy the space she needed to feel comfortable!
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!

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Sanford can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
