“Cristy was great! She was very accommodating,polite, and was super sweet. Beary was sad to leave her. She kept us up to date on everything. Definitely will reuse her for pet boarding.”
“My dog had an amazing time —she came home happy and tired from all the playtime with her new furry friends. She was clearly well cared for and loved every minute. Highly recommend!”
“OMG! What can I say about this amazing woman. She quenched my fears and my kids fears the moment we walked through her doors. My 2 fur babies was extremely happy. Douglania sent daily updates and responded to my text messages quickly. I would never send my fur babies to a boarding kennel again. I would definitely use her again. Thank you Douglania, you are amazing ❤️❤️”

I would absolutely book again!🐾❤️”

“Sarah and Chris did such an amazing job taking care of my dogs! This was the first time I had left them at someone else's house, which was so scary for me. However, they were awesome with communication, pictures and keeping me up to date on everything happening with them. This made the trip I had much easier and stress-free! I will be booking again with them very soon. :-)”

She even FaceTimed us! She was easy to work with and our puppy loved her. She took our pup to doggy parks and maintained her excise and eating regimens. We will definitely use her in the future!”
“This is our second time leaving our two dogs with Sam, and I can honestly say it’s such a relief to find someone I trust to care for them when I have to go out of town. We usually try to bring them with us, but sometimes that isn’t possible, and it eases a lot of stress knowing we have someone we trust to take care of them like Sam does. We will continue to book with her in the future. Our dogs are always at ease when they’re with her, and I can tell that she takes great care of them as if they were her own.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sanford
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.
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 2,297 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.
