“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for my fur babies. Katie is reliable, communicative, and punctual. Katie truly cares about my cats’ comfort and well-being. I received updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She even brought them some toys which was super sweet!! My cats were happy and well cared for when I got home. I would definitely recommend Katie to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their animals 🐱❤️”
“Debbie was so amazing and accommodating! I needed someone to stop by my place a few times while I was out of town and I'm so glad she was available. She kept me updated every step of the way and sent me so many pictures of my fur baby, which was very comforting. I will definitely book with her again for future trips!”
“Laurie stepped in for us last minute and was both prompt and efficient. She kept us updated throughout and sent plenty of photos of our pups while we were out of town, which we really appreciated.”
“Just knowing that Jamie is checking on our pets, let’s us relax and enjoy our vacation. Whether it’s several nights with Faith and Dolby or check ins when it’s just the cat, we can count on her. Thank you!!!”
“Addie is INCREDIBLE! She is prompt with her responses and was quick to respond to my inquiry and schedule a meet and greet. It is clear she cares about animals and wants them to feel safe with her. She has gone out of her way to make the most of her time with my shy baby every time she’s there, and had given me detailed reports and pictures. I couldn’t recommend her more! Thank you, Addie!”
“Ava was amazing! She made sure the kitties were well taken care of and sent lots of pics. Our flight was delayed and she made sure they were set up with extra food and water until we got home. Highly recommend!”
“We loved Anna! Would absolutely book her again. She was knowledgable and very comfortable around my two cats (and they seemed to like her quite a bit as well but you can never really tell with kitties) and we got regular updates and pictures. Thank you, Anna!”
“Britney did an amazing job taking care of my dogs while I was away. I was a little apprehensive of the whole concept of a stranger at first, but she immediately put me at ease with her communication and how attentive she was. My dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will 100% be using her again. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Caryna is the dog sitter! We have been using her for 2 years now and our two fur babies love her! She makes sure they are happy and constantly sends us pictures and videos of our dogs when we are away! She will keep our home safe since she stays with our dogs and makes sure to keep everything nice and clean! I would not use anyone else but her to watch my dogs. She really is the best and I am so grateful to have found her on Rover!”
“Carli was great! She stopped in to visit my kitties and made sure they had all the needed. Very nice personality and excellent communicator. Would definitely recommend her to others and would book her services again in the future if needed!”
“I contacted Jonathan last minute as I had a family emergency, I needed to fly out of state for. I had never used a pet sitter before and wasn't sure what to expect. Jonathan did a great job in communicating with me and sending pictures at each visit. I would definitely use Rover and Jonathan again as he did a top-notch service. Thanks again Jonathan for helping out in a last-minute situation.”
About: I provide loving, patient, and dependable care for every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and shy animals, and I’m comfortable following specific routines, administering basic medications, and giving lots of attention and exercise. I’m currently a full time psychology student online so my availability is completely open for all your pet care needs! I am available any day of the week and I will even accept late notices because life happens :) I like to make sure I keep the pets I’m taking care of entertained because I know they will be missing their owners so I know the extra measure is required as pets get sad easily. I make sure to keep everything very clean and avoid accidents by staying on top of their potty schedule. I will keep your fur babies happy and healthy while you’re gone!
“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.”
About: I love dogs of all kinds, and will make sure that they are always safe and happy under my supervision. I am an energetic and happy person so I will make sure the pets are always entertained. I will always be very mature and alert no matter where I take the pets, and make sure that the number one priority is the health and safety of the pets. I have a yorkie of my own so I understand how great a furry companion can be. :) I am available to work full time, walking or sitting. My hours are flexible M-W, TH, and S-SUN, since I am taking online classes at NC State. I will always ensure my client’s dogs are treated like family. They will be fed, taken out to go potty, and played for according to the utmost standards.

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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
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 .
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.
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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
