“Maureen did an excellent job taking care of my cat. My cat has a sensitivity to strangers and doesn’t trust anyone except me but Maureen took great care of her and my cat even seemed to begin to trust her. I came back from my trip to a happy and healthy cat. Thank you Maureen!”
“Caralin was absolutely excellent taking care of our pets while we were away on vacation. My girlfriend and I are overprotective pet parents and have trouble leaving our loved ones home while away; Caralin went over above and beyond with her care of them and truly impressed us with the care and love she showed to our pets. We would be happy to hire her again in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to family and friends. If you’re like us and worry about your pets while away, you can trust Caralin to make sure they’re happy and taken care of.”
About: Hi! I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member. I’m a dependable, attentive, and caring person who understands that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful. My goal is to make you and your pet feel completely comfortable and confident while you’re away. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some extra playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply a little companionship, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they deserve. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and keep you updated with photos and messages along the way! I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I’m happy to follow your instructions and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. 🐶🐱 I am currently a flight instructor building hours to get to the airlines and pet sitting would be the perfect job to do when I am not in the air. I love being around dogs and cats, so its the perfect job that doesn't feel like a job. Anything you need me to do to help your furry companion feel happy and safe I'll be more than happy to do. If your pet needs anything special I will go above and beyond to make sure that he/she is taken care of. Your furry friend will be loved and spoiled with me.

About: I am an experienced pet walker and sitter with knowledge in dogs and cats, especially senior dogs. No matter what, I believe that all animals deserve respect and care, in any circumstance. I currently have open availability. I would gladly go take care of any pet. Any day or time. I am also happy to do holidays. I like to keep pets I'm looking after close enough to me that I can readily get to them. Just in case they need help.
About: 🐾I have always been the person who gets way too excited to meet someone’s dog and somehow ends up knowing their favorite treats, toys and walking route by the end of the visit 😂 I’ve spent years working with dogs in a professional pet-care environment, where I gained experience caring for all kinds of personalities, energy levels and needs. I’ve worked with everything from the super-snuggly couch potatoes to the “I have 47 things to investigate on this walk” kind of dogs. I also have experience following feeding routines, administering basic care, reinforcing training and making sure every pup gets plenty of attention and enrichment. What sets me apart is that I do not believe pet-sitting is just about checking a box on a schedule. I want your pet to actually have a good time while you’re away. Whether that means a long sniff-filled walk, a game of fetch, practicing some training, extra cuddles or just hanging out together, I like to tailor each visit to the pet in front of me. I’m also a big believer in communication with pet parents. You’ll get updates, photos, and all the important details so you can relax and know that your best friend is being cared for ! I currently work part-time and I am currently in graduate school !! I am available Tuesdays before 6 pm, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays for walks, drop-in or overnight stays ! Your pet’s safety and comfort always comes first ! I follow your pets routine and instructions closely, whether we are out in a walk or hanging out at home. I’m careful about doors, gates, leashes and anything else that keeps your pet safe. I treat you home with respect, keep things clean, and always send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and cared for while you’re at work, away or running some errands !
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the majority of my life, from couch potato French Bulldogs to hyperactive Australian Shepherds. I’ve raised 3 dogs, all having different demeanors and needs, so I’m knowledgeable on how to cater to sick dogs, energetic, territorial, etc. Im currently only in school, not working, so I’ll have more time than most to watch and walk your pets! I’m free all day Friday-Sunday, and mornings and evenings Monday/Wednesday and anytime after 1pm on Tuesday/Thursday I would treat your dog the same way I’d want my dogs to be treated if I were gone! That includes following a steady feeding schedule, routine walks, keeping up with medication, and of course providing ample attention and affection!
About: Animals have always been apart of my life and to me they are little gifts from God. They teach us how to love and how to be kind to others. My experience with animals range from taking care of multiple cats including an older diabetic cat which I gave insulin shots. I have raised yorkies, goldens and duchsands but I really do love all breeds of dogs. I have cared for birds, turtles and bunnies as well. I currently rescued a paralyzed kitten and trained myself to care for this sweet baby by learning to express his bladder and feed him a special diet that will allow him to have a better quality of life. I can promise you that I will love and care for your animals as if they were my own and will respect and honor all pet owners and their wishes for their animals so when you are away from your fur babies you know that they are being cared for by the best. I am a retired Librarian, my schedule is open to provide care for all types of animals when needed at your convenience and I am adaptable. I have a medium sized fenced yard, I live near beautiful Gemini Springs park for walks and fresh air. I have a separated personal pet room for boarding other pet so they feel safe in a new area with lots or toys and soft blankets.
“Ashland is absolutely the best care giver for pets! We are beyond grateful for finding her! She is incredibly sweet and her love for animals is amazing. Thank you for sharing all the photos and information from your visits.”
About: I had pets all my life. I assure you, your fur baby will enjoy my company with 100% attention. I have a big fenced in yard with plenty of room to play. I have experience with medical needs such as shots, eye and ear drops. Grooming and kisses are included. I work from home; therefore, I have eyes on the pets. I am a homebody and rarely go out unless it's a quick run to the grocery store. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run and play. I have a 3-year-old small chocolate lab named Easy P.Z. She is very well behaved and trained in a 2-week doggy bootcamp. P.Z. has been around many other dogs her whole life, will give any doggy guest a warm welcome and a great playmate.

About: I've taken care of everything from pitties to kitties! I love animals and dream of having my own mini menagerie someday. I've been petsitting reptiles, cats, and dogs since I was 13 years old, and have never run into any issues. I can render any service from medication to enrichment. I currently work part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I have no trouble taking a day off from work if the situation calls for it, and can work around medication schedules even on work days. When taking pets out for walks, leashes are a must! Additionally, any potentially dangerous foods or substances will be put safely out of reach of the pet. I set alarms and reminders for feeding, medication, and appointments to make sure everything is done at the proper time.

Adriana is the best! She’s a great communicator and is so reliable which is such a relief when you’re far away from your pets. She is so good with our two big dogs and our cat, they love her! She’s accommodating with medications/ food prep/ walking schedules. I can’t recommend her more!
Brianna was wonderful! She was always punctual and did a great job keeping me updated after each visit. I really appreciated the detailed notes and photos—it gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly took great care of her. I would absolutely recommend Brianna to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter, and I’ll definitely be using her again in the future! 🐾❤️
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!

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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
