“MJ makes you feel so welcomed and at peace. Thank you for taking care of Neo so well, and I loved that your dog Bobby was so playful and friendly. I would leave Neo again with eyes closed. She is amazing.”
“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!”
“So thankful for Christina and Oskar! They took great care of my baby Charley, gave us updates and sent pictures of how he was doing. They are very organized and detailed, making sure Charley had everything he needed and worked with him during his pickiness in eating.”
“Brian was a perfect host. House was exactly what you’d want form a sitter. Clean, quiet, and tidy. Great communicator, and he has a great dog that is very friendly and welcoming to my dog. I’ve finally found my dog his new vacation spot when I have to go out of town. Thanks for the great experience Brian.”
“Sasha was amazing! My Bella came home happy. She sent me daily updates and videos and kept in communication with us throughout the stay. Will definitely have Bella stay with her again.”
“Amanda is awesome, was able to take my Louie with a short notice. Treats him as if he’s her own. My Louie gets excited to see her, very comforting for me when I’m away. Highly recommend!!”
“Confesora did a great job with our dog. She was quick to respond to messages. She sent multiple photos and kept us up to date on how our little guy was doing. I would highly recommend her and would use her again.”
“Amber was amazing. Not only with my puppers, but with dealing with many schedule changes that happened throughout our trip. We had to book last minute due to schedule changes and she was great when I asked her to extend his stay too. I got lots of pictures and updates. Comet always looked happy and relaxed in the photos. If we come to Orlando again, I will definitely be rebooking with Amber.”
“Overall great experience. Quick to respond and took the initiative to send pictures everyday. The home was beautiful and I felt very safe leaving my puppy for a few nights.”
“My dog had a great time with Karla and Victor! They provided pictures and reports from his stay, and he enjoyed the walks and backyard time. Enjoyed our vacation knowing he was enjoying himself too. :)”
“My dogs love going with Daniel, and the family, it's like their second home. He's great with my big mastiff and small dogs. His dogs also make great companions for those who stay as well. I highly recommend”
“Tammy was very friendly. She took our dog at the last minute because our dog sitter got sick. She sent photo, video and updates the two days we were gone. Our dog looked content and happy there. At the time of pick up Tammy had all of his things packed up and ready to go which was so nice.”
“I can’t remember now how many times Denys and her sister have taken care of Remi and Roie. They are the best sitters ever. The boys have a very restricted diet and every time they have stayed with Denys they always come happy and healthy. I have tried other sitters due to availability and no one take as good care as Denys. Thanks!”

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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Sanford is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $50 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
96% 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, 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 , 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 .
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.
