About: I have had a strong care for animals ever since I was young, whether they were my own or not. I have had pets since I was 5 and have dog / cat sat for 3+ years now: animals with medication needs, young babies, or even senior pups, are all welcome by me and are never seen as a hassle :) My goal is to build trust in your pet and love them as my own. I understand that a safe comfortable environment is a must for your fur baby! I am an upcoming college student who just graduated from high school. I plan on attending school in the fall, so my summer will be free! i’m available for drop ins, house sitting, walks, and doggy baths! Following instructions that accommodate the owners pet has never been an issue for me. I have dog and cat sat many times and know everyone has their own parenting preferences; whether that be crating a dog at night, timely feedings, or medications needed. I strive to care for your animals as if they are my own :)
About: I have been dog sitting for others for many years. I now have a dog of my own for the last 4 years and he is my world. I have a flexible schedule so it makes it easy for me to drop in between appointments. I work for myself and able to make my own schedule. This makes it easy to drop in for a visit or take your pet for a walk. I have a fenced yard for my dog and always use a leash when he is not in the yard. I do not leave him unsupervised in the yard just to make sure he does not eat something he is not supposed to.
“Shea was so awesome and such a lifesaver for us for our dog when we went on vacation this summer! I really wanted her to stay home since she's 8 and is more comfortable in her own environment. Shea was exactly who we needed! She was great with our dog and relayed images and check-ins with us regularly which I appreciated. She took the time to schedule in affection every day with our dog which is huge for our boxer mix. Such a nice sitter; she even helped me with some vegetables that were fruiting while we were gone which was so thoughtful! We will definitely be using Shea for all of our future dogsitting needs.”

With a flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate focused, quality time to your pet, ensuring they get the attention, love, and care they need while you’re away. Providing structure, comfort, and well-being is second nature to me, and I treat every pet like family.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have a lot of hands-on experience caring for them. I’ve rescued nine stray cats, gotten them spayed, helped them recover, and found them loving homes, so I’m very comfortable working with shy or nervous animals. I’ve also cared for a senior cat with several special needs, which taught me patience and how to handle more detailed care routines. I’ve trained a Siberian Husky as well, so I understand the energy and structure dogs need. I currently have cats of my own, so daily feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable is already part of my everyday life. I’m available on weekends and have a flexible schedule during those days, which allows me to provide consistent care, walks, drop-ins, and plenty of attention for pets. My home is a safe, pet-friendly space for both cats and dogs. I have a spacious house where pets can relax comfortably, with plenty of room to move around or find a quiet spot if they need it. For outdoor time, I have a secure fenced backyard that’s great for dogs to safely play and get energy out, and a catio for cats who enjoy fresh air and stimulation in a protected space. I always prioritize safety and make sure every pet feels comfortable, supervised, and at ease while they’re with me.
About: I've been caring for animals of all sizes for most of my adult life. I spent several years caring for animals professionally at a pet boarding facility in Sanford. I also learned a lot about animal care while working as a receptionist in a veterinary clinic. I'm currently only working free lance for a delivery company and am able to dedicate the majority of my time to caring for your pets. It is important to me that your pet sticks to their regular routine while you are away. I always schedule a meeting before booking to take detail notes on your pets daily routine.
About: I’ve been petting sitting since I was 13 from walking my neighbors dog while they were away for the day to feeding my best friends snake when she went on a 2 week vacation. There aren’t many animals I dislike and always open to taking care of new animals. I currently work in retail with a varying schedule but always off by 6 pm and every other weekend off. Most days I am in a 9-5 role but there are a few days that I open at 6 am. I am open to dog walking, house sitting at home or dropping in multiple times a day. I have multiple cats. I feed them a both wet food and dry food, scoop their litter boxes at least once a day with a once a week clean. I live in a small place, while I am not able to board I will check on your animal multiples times if needed, make sure they get plenty of enrichment and loves.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Sanford is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sanford
Joy was absolutely wonderful! She showed up right on time, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. My dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for while I was away. The best part was seeing how excited he was to see Joy and how much he genuinely enjoyed spending time with her. It’s obvious she truly loves animals and gives them lots of attention, affection, and care.
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!

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.
