“Julieth and her husband were wonderful hosts for our dog. They took great care of him, provided plenty of updates and photos, and were accommodating with our pick up time. We will definitely board with them again in the future!”
“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!!”
“Christy was wonderful with my dog. He can be a handful and is very energetic, but he came home happy and even took a nap so I know he got some good playtime in! I will definitely use Christy in the future.”
“Thank you so much! 😊🐶This was Bono’s first time staying with her, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She took such great care of him and kept me updated throughout, which I really appreciated. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear that Bono was in great hands. I’m definitely planning to book with her again whenever I need someone. Highly recommend!”
“Catherine was incredible! She made us feel comfortable right away and was extremely transparent about her space, schedule and her ability to care for our dog. You can tell that she truly loves dogs by the way that she allows them to settle in on their own terms. She doesn’t push anything with dogs, and that allows them to fully be comfortable and trusting with her. We have a bit of a finicky and anxious dog so sometimes it’s hard to find the right fit, but kathryn was definitely it! In fact, we are booking her again in three days for a long weekend. Rest assured that she will take great care of your pet.”
“I recommend Susana! She took incredible care of my two dogs while I was on vacation. This is the second time I've booked her, and once again, she exceeded my expectations. My dogs were loved and well cared for, and it was so comforting to know they were in such good hands. I especially appreciated the daily updates and adorable pictures she sent me. It made my time away much more enjoyable, knowing they were happy and loved. Thank you, Susana I will definitely be booking again!”
“Loved having Susann and her family watch over my grandpa fur baby. She is super nice and sends you pictures with updates on how your doggie is doing. I would definitely recommend her!”
“We found Juan and his family last minute, they were very accommodating especially with it being a holiday weekend. They have a beautiful home with everyone being so welcoming and loving. An amazing back yard with lots of room and designated areas to keep dogs active and entertained. Juan kept in touch daily with pictures, messages and videos. She came back happy and relaxed. It was one of the best dog sitting experiences I’ve had. You can tell by how personable that they care. It was like leaving my pup with family. Thank you again and would love to book again for get always and we have been talking about thinking of dog daycare so she can be more socialized.”
“This was the first time we were with Brian and his boys. We met in March to "check each other out" and it went very well and Brian accepted Brooklyn as a guest in May. Brian was very attentive and sent me daily updates and photos. I fully expect Brooklyn will visit again in the future. If you are looking for a loving temporary home for your baby don't hesitate, glad I didn't.”
“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!!!!”
“They took such good care of Mijo while we went on a trip out of town. Got daily videos and updates. Mijo was such a happy doggy with their doggies. I think he has his first crush haha. Thank you again”
“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!”
“We had a cruise out of Port Canaveral. While we were cruising Sarah agreed to care for our West Highland White terrier. Sarah was gracious and enthusiastic about meeting Finlee Kate. When we returned to port, we called to say we were back in the USA. Sarah met us with Finlee as we arrived at her house. Finlee had the run of a fenced yard during her stay, as she does in her own house. We definitely would recommend Sarah as a pet sitter and would ask to have Finlee stay with Sarah on our next cruise out of Port Canaveral.”

This was our first time using Douglania, and it was a great experience! She was very communicative throughout our trip and sent us plenty of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. Rocket did great with her, and it was clear she took wonderful care of him. We would absolutely book with Douglania again and highly recommend her!
Juan provided services for us for our nearly 1 month vacation overseas. We needed someone reliable, caring and attentive, Juan fit that hat perfectly. Thanks to Juan and his superb dog boarding we could be practically a world away and still get regular updates/pictures. He also took care of our newest addition to our family, our puppy Chewie who was not even 6months old and provided him loving care while also giving him structure to learn and grow. Thanks again we will be using Juan in the future.
Finding Catherine was a blessing! She was super responsive when I first reached out to ask about watching our dogs- one of which is paralyzed (and stinky) - and assured me taking care of him would be no problem. She loved on our doggies, sent plenty of updates the first day, and gave them all the treats and outside time and cuddles to make them feel at home. I was nervous trying to find a sitter and am so grateful we found Catherine.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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 .
As of July 2026, there are 2,335 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sanford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
