“We are so glad that we found Cristy! This is the first time we leave our dog with someone that we don't know and we were worried that he would get drepressed or anxious. Everything went great! Since the Meet & Greet until the end, she was very kind, communicative, send us pics and updates about how he was doing. Now we know who to reach to if we need future care of our dog.”
“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.”
“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!”
“MJ was the BEST! She helped my dog feel at ease and loved him just like we would. I could tell that my dog had a wonderful stay. She also kept me posted with photos while we were away ?”
“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.”
“Mocha loves to stay at Susana’s! She treats him like her own baby & he gets to play with all the other little dog! I get daily videos and photos and he always seems happy to be at her house”
“Susann and her family took wonderful care of Gracie. She sent pictures of their adventures - including a 3 mile hike on a trail. Gracie slept quite a bit on the day I picked her up, so I know she had lots of fun and attention while at Susann's house.”
“Sasha was very caring for Dexter. She has so much love for animals and she’s awesome with communication and sending photos during the booking. Definitely using Sasha again she’s great!”
“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.”
“thanks for taking care of Leo. It was last minute request. Appreciated. We were supposed to pick him on Monday morning unfortunately Leo ended up with extra night care due to our flight cancellation . You have a great house safe and sound. Leo has a happy face and energetic legs to run still.”
“Catherine is a wonderful sitter. She really gets my Genie. I know I'm leaving my beloved girl in caring hands. I appreciate the daily updates with pics and videos. She keeps me well informed, which provides me comfort. Thank again!”
“Andrea was a God send! My husband and I did and 8 day roadtrip through yellowstone and Grand Teton. She and her husband kept our maltipoo Joon. Joon made friends with their 2 dogs and had the best time playing the entire time. Andrea sent updates and pictures everyday and I felt so relieved to know she was in such good hands. We will be using her in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Sam was absolutely wonderful. We visited before I brought Sol over for boarding. There was a large fenced in back yard for dogs to run and play. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in Sam’s care. I will continue to use Sam to care for my dog when I have to be out of town. Sam also sent NMEA pictures and text updates on Sol’s sleep-over. Sam’s the best!”
“This was my first time using Rover and a pet sitter. Brian was amazing. He sent me updates and pictures several times a day, and my pups looked very happy. The best part of Brian’s service is that he works from home so my pups were with him all day. It made me feel good knowing that my pups weren’t in a kennel all day like they would be in at the pet resort I used in the past. I highly recommend Brian. He’s the best!”
“Koda stayed for an extended visit and everything went really smoothly. I got videos regularly, which made me feel totally at ease while I was away. He clearly had a blast — especially making new dog friends. He came home happy and tired in the best way. I’d definitely book again.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Sanford is $40
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sanford
My fur baby was in excellent hands! Lots of photos and a video showed that my pupper was adjusting well, happy and he even ate while there (for context eating while I’m away has often been ‘challenging’). Having a senior dog can be challenging, but all of the issues were handled with care and expertise.
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 for Dog Boarding in Sanford on Rover is $43.29 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,311 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.
95% 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.
