About: I take caring for pets seriously because I understand how much they mean to the people who love them. When I’m responsible for someone’s pet, my first priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I take time to learn each animal’s routine, preferences, and personality so I can give them care that feels familiar and reassuring. Whether it’s feeding on schedule, refreshing water, administering supplements, or keeping up with exercise needs, I’m attentive and consistent. I also believe pets thrive with companionship, so I make sure they get plenty of interaction—playtime, walks, brushing, or simply quiet company for pets who prefer a calm presence. I pay close attention to behavior and body language, and I’m quick to adjust if an animal seems anxious, excited, or unsure. Cleanliness and safety are always part of my routine, from maintaining tidy feeding areas to ensuring secure leashes, gates, and doors. Most importantly, I treat every pet with the same patience and affection I give my own animals. My goal is for owners to feel confident and at ease knowing their pets are cared for with kindness, reliability, and genuine love. I am retired and have available time to play and care for your pet. I have flexibility with my schedule and work to accommodate your request. I care for pets by making sure they feel secure, understood, and well‑supported, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own space. I start by learning their routine, habits, and any special instructions so I can keep things consistent. Pets do best when their day feels familiar, so I follow feeding times, walks, play, medications, and comfort needs exactly as the owner outlines. In my home, I create a calm, clean environment where pets can relax. I keep food and water areas tidy, maintain safe spaces for rest and play, and make sure doors, gates, and outdoor areas are secure. I give each pet the level of attention they enjoy—whether that’s active play, gentle companionship, or quiet time for more reserved animals. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines. I use the pet’s usual bowls, toys, and walking routes to help them feel comfortable. I keep things neat, double‑check safety around doors and fences, and make sure the pet gets steady companionship while their owner is away. I also send updates and photos so owners always know how their pet is doing. My goal is simple: pets should feel safe, happy, and cared for, and owners should feel confident leaving them in my hands.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sanford
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Sanford is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $29 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 4,696 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Sanford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
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 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. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
