“Felipe was awesome with my pups! Very friendly and reliable person who truly cares about animals. Very clean house with gorgeous fenced in backyard perfect for a pup vacation! He followed all my dogs schedule and made sure i got updates every day! Recommend his services!”
“I used Mj to board my almost 14 year old senior pug and she was so wonderful! She has a warm and welcoming energy that you immediately feel safe with. My dog was very comfortable with her and her dog Bobby. She sent me daily updates and photos, which were really helpful and appreciated while being away! Her space was beautiful, clean, and perfect for pups to be in. It appears Oliver has made some new friends :). Thanks a bunch!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Bryan was great. Davy loved his home and family and dogs. He was able to go in and out as he pleased. He came home happy and healthy and I’ll definitely use Brian again.”
“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!!”
“Caroline was truly amazing at keeping me updated on how my dog was doing! She would send me pictures and give me an update of their day. My dog was doing so great with her! She definitely is someone to trust when it comes to leaving your pet with her.”
“We brought our dogs by before their stay, and they loved having the large backyard to run and play in. Although there was a small language barrier, communication was still easy. She also sent us pictures to keep us updated, which we really appreciated. Such a nice couple to trust with your dogs while you’re away!”
“Amber was amazing! She took excellent care of Scrappy and kept us updated with frequent photos and messages throughout the week. As a first-time dog mom leaving my pup with someone new, she made me feel completely at ease. Scrappy stayed with her for a full week and came back happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. Highly recommend her services, Scrappy will 100% be back! 🐾💛”
“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.”
“Karla and Victor did a great job taking care of our pups while we were away. We were so worried because we haven't left them behind for such a long time before, but Karla and Victor made them feel at home. They sent us pictures and kept us informed of how our pups were doing. We are very grateful that they were able to accommodate us at short notice and also given our late-in-the-day arrival. Thanks for taking such good care of our pups!”
“Easy communication and interaction. No issues whatsoever with drop-off and pickup. Got a couple cute pictures during my dog's stay. My 1.5 year old dog has a lot of energy and that was no issue for her. He seemed very happy and healthy at pickup. Would gladly use again.”
“Karen has looked after our two dogs three times, she has always taken great care of them and they are happy to stay with her. She regularly keeps me updated which is great. I would highly recommend Karen.”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,313 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 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.
<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 , 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.
