“Morgan has been absolutely incredible with my two dogs. One of my babies has been sick and she has been so compassionate and patient with him during drop ins. She definitely eased my anxiety being away for the first time since he was hospitalized. I’d recommend Morgan to anyone looking for care for their dogs. Thank you for everything!”
“Julieth was amazing she came right when scheduled and took such good care of my babies. It’s so great to have someone reliable and clearly so in love with dogs to take care of my pups.”
About: I grew up with large dog breeds my whole life. The first pet of my own as an adult was a 1.5 year old German shepherd/siberian husky mix with a lot of resource guarding tendencies. He has taught me so much about communicating with dogs and working around their comfort. I am used to walking a large, reactive dog with no trouble. I am also a new cat mom in the recent year and have a new love for felines too! :) I lost my job of 3.5 years and struggling to find something that fits into my life with my wife’s recent cancer diagnosis and treatment regimen. I can make myself available any day or any time and appreciate the flexibility pet sitting and walking will provide me. Proper equipment is necessary to ensure safety of your dogs on walks. I won’t utilize any equipment I’m not familiar with and properly trained in
“We had a walker fall through last minute and Ashley picked up the call. She was very good with our Wesley, followed all of our instructions carefully. Wesley was left with a happy smile, as shown in the cute little picture Ashley took!”
“Aleiyah was so kind, reliable, and caring, and I always felt comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. I’m so grateful she was able to step in and help us out, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets with love and care.”
About: I have taken care of pets my entire life. I grew up fostering dogs and volunteering weekly with a pet rescue. I have experience with dogs varying in size from Beagles to Great Danes and am comfortable with all pups! I also have a lot of experience with senior dogs and am comfortable with most special needs they may have! I am a private cello lesson teacher so my professional work days are condensed to a few hours a week. I am available every day of the week, all day except for Wednesday and Thursday in the evening where I am unavailable until 7:30. I will gladly follow any instructions left to care for your pet(s) in your home. I will treat your space and animal with respect, always using best judgment!
“Becca was so kind and even set up a call so we could talk about care instructions and how to get into our home! We will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life (currently we have a 2 Yorkie/Chihuahua mix). We accept small to large dogs. A brief "meet and greet" is required prior to sitting to assure compatibility. We make sure the doggies get exercise and potty breaks every 3 to 4 hours (we will do more if requested). We are a married couple (no kids). one of us is home at all times. We live in a safe area in a house with a big fenced in yard. We always keep small dogs separate from the larger dogs while they are playing or out on walks. Both our dogs love everyone, four-legged or two-legged, and they will love your doggy too. Please feel free to contact us seven days a week. You can rest assured that one of us is home, so your dog will never be left unattended. If you prefer to use a crate, you must bring it. We do not see the need for them, in most situations, but we realize this is different for each dog
“Carolina was friendly, clearly loves dogs, and followed through with all my requests for the dog walk. She took very good care of our four-legged family member. I will be using her again.”
“Alexa is awesome she treats my dog like her own. Without me telling her, she took the time to put my dogs booties on before walking her because of the snow. I know that Diva is in good hands when Alexa takes care of her!”

About: With years of experience volunteering for the Orange County animal shelter, helping neighbors by walking their pets & caring for my own puppy for many years I’m currently in online school with a flexible schedule so I am very flexible on times and am willing to work around different schedules and needs.

About: I’ve owned many dogs over the years and have taken care dogs for friends and family. One of my current dogs has been a therapy dog for 6 years. Most dogs like me, even dogs that don’t typically like men. One of my dogs was a therapy dog for 5 years. I’m retired, married, and have 3 grown kids and a sweet 2 year old grandson. I am currently retired and have plenty of time to enjoy visiting and taking your dog out for healthy walks or visits to nearby dog parks. When I take dogs for walks, I make sure they are safe, comfortable, and enjoying their time outdoors. I use a secure leash, pay attention to my surroundings, and allow each dog to explore, sniff, and enjoy the fresh air at a pace that suits them. I always provide plenty of patience, care, and attention, make sure they have access to water when needed, and clean up after them. I also watch for signs of tiredness or discomfort and adjust the walk accordingly. My goal is to make every walk a fun, positive, and safe experience while treating each dog with the love and care they deserve.
About: Hi there! My name is Halee and I have been involved in the care of dogs my entire life. My parents always had dogs growing up and when I graduated nursing school and moved out on my own I adopted my first baby, Finn. He is my life and my soul dog. He is leash reactive so I have lots of experience with reactivity and resource guarding. I adopted my second dog from orange county animal services after fostering her. I volunteered at OCAS for several years and now am a foster coordinator through furever bully love rescue. I work M-F typically with semi flexible hours. I typically work until 3pm Monday through Thursday with a half day Friday. I can do early visits most days and afternoon and evening visits all days. Weekends I am usually fully available! My fiance is also an avid dog lover and loves to help out too! When I am caring for a dog, I care for them like they are my own. My dogs Finn & Nyah are my life and I’d go to the ends of earth for them; and I’ll do the same for your baby. They will always be supervised, played with, loved, and have plenty of food and water… and treats if allowed :-)
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sanford
She is so lovely with my dog, my dog have trust issues because he was abused in the past, and he is very anxious but with Julieth he felt ok right away. I totally recommend her for walking or boarding. When she walked my baby fur she was very gentle, followed all my instructions and I found my doggy happy after work.
Morgan has been absolutely incredible with my two dogs. One of my babies has been sick and she has been so compassionate and patient with him during drop ins. She definitely eased my anxiety being away for the first time since he was hospitalized. I’d recommend Morgan to anyone looking for care for their dogs. Thank you for everything!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Sanford is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $27 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 4,734 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sanford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Sanford. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Sanford after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sanford. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
