“Callie was wonderful! She communicated clearly, sent great photos, and took excellent care of our pups while we were out of town. She was always on time and made us feel completely at ease. We’d definitely book with her again.”
“Haley stopped in to check on our cats for a few days, and we are so grateful! She played and took care of our kitties and sent great notes/pictures each day. We are always missing our cats when we travel, so knowing they were in good hands made us feel so much better. Thank you Haley!”
About: Throughout the past few years, I've sat for several of my neighbors and friend’s dogs, from yorkies to pit bulls. This includes both walks and visits to provide food, water, and fun. Caring for my own dog, Charlotte, in recent years has given me experience in caring for senior dogs. This includes accommodating for hearing loss, blindness, low energy, and stomach problems. I am an incoming college student looking for a fun way to spend my free time. My current schedule is very flexible before I start classes. I am free most days aside from occasional family obligations and weekly senior living volunteering. Safety is my number one priority when caring for your best friend(s). When walking dogs in Florida, I have found it extremely important to monitor the weather and your pets breathing. I will always ensure they have access to enough water and food at meal time. And if they’re allowed, I love giving them the occasional treat.
“Halee is kind, communicative, attentive and great with our furry crew of one pup and three cats. She listens to our needs for our feeding routine and is just a joy to be around.”
About: Hello! New here!!! I belong to the local pet shelter and I do the dog a day program where I go and pick them up and spend the whole day with them kind of help get them adopted if needed and return them at the time stated. On that note! I am looking for work and I love animals so I thought how perfect! The small family I have here and I have 20 dogs and cats combined. Very careful loving person looking to help out when needed. I love to walk so even better! Very responsible and follow instructions as asked. I will treat your fur baby just as I would like mine treated. Short notice is usually okay as well. I do this for friends as well when needed. Thank you for looking and good luck!! Again Thank you. I am currently not employed during the day and I only work a few evenings a week, but that changes every week so depending on what you need, I will work it out! I would come to your place to pet sit, walk, pop in or whatever you needed. I am open to anything you need. All pets!
“Faviana took my reservation last minute on the 4th of July. I got stuck on a flight coming back home and she not only responded quickly, she made sure she grabbed the details needed to take the best care of my babies. She went above and beyond. She is sweet, kind, reliable and communicative. I will definitely trust her with my babies again. ❤️”

About: As a long-time owner and caretaker for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities (from high-energy dogs to independent cats and even the occasional reptile in between), I understand how much trust it takes to leave your baby with someone else, and that is a responsibility I do not take lightly. I have hands-on experience with everything from everyday routines to more complex medical and behavioral needs, so I’m comfortable handling a wide range of situations calmly and confidently. I’m very attentive, reliable, and focused on making sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. At the end of the day, I treat every pet like they’re my own—and work hard to make sure you feel just as confident and at ease as they do! I work remotely, so thankfully I’m able to fit pet care naturally into my day. I’m around to make sure they’re cared for consistently—whether that’s walks, meals, playtime, potty breaks or anything else they might need. I’m intentional about the bookings I accept and only take on clients when I can provide their pets the level of care and attention they deserve. My goal when caring for your pet while you’re away is always the same—to create a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home, while also giving you, their pawrent, complete peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands.

About: As an animal lover and devoted dog mom, I know that our pets are family. I don’t see pet care as just a job—I genuinely care for every pet as if they were my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sanford
I cannot recommend Kari enough. She was willing to work with me last minute, and then went above and beyond while watching my crazies. I have three dogs that have just moved across the country, two of them are geriatric, and they were leaving masses all over the place. Kari it took care of it like a champ, even offered to help clean and put a load of wash in, etc. Bringing her own mop to make sure the house was left in better condition she found it in while simultaneously taking such good care of my babies. As a sitter on her, Myself, I would have to say that this is exactly the type of person you want watching your pets. ❤️ thanks Kari, I will definitely be reaching out to you again soon!
Allison took excellent care of my pets - dropping in multiple times a day and even going above and beyond picking up after there mini house renovations and bathroom stops outside! She managed multiple feeding scheudles and meds. Our pets were stress free during our trip because of Allison's care. We will be continuing to book with Allison for our pet care.
Ilene is the best! She meet with us ahead of time to introduce herself and meet our 4 babies before our vacation. She was so kind and communicated every step of the way. We felt so at ease while we were away! She took pictures and gave updates. Ilene is a true animal lover and we will definitely be rebooking with her! Thank you so much for Ilene for your care for our babies while we were away!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sanford stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Sanford choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Sanford with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
