About: Hi! I’m Victoria, a local Sanford dog sitter and proud dog mom to Leo, my toy schnauzer. I provide a safe, loving home environment where dogs are treated like family—not just pets. No cramped kennels or long hours alone. They’ll have the run of the house, plenty of outdoor time, belly rubs, treats, and all the love they could ask for. A brief Meet & Greet is required prior to sitting for all new clients to assure compatibility. I work remotely, which means your dog will have companionship and supervision throughout the day. Whether they’re here for a weekend getaway or an extended stay, they’ll enjoy plenty of outdoor breaks, playtime, cuddles, and individualized attention. I intentionally keep my boarding numbers low to create a calm, low-stress environment where every dog receives the care they deserve. We have policies in place to make sure dogs, who are escape artists, aren’t able to make a run for it, we space feeding time and walking time as research has shown eating prior to a walk and immediately after can cause bloating and other complications. It’s my mission your dog is safe at all times so you can worry less when your dog is not with you.
About: I pet sit small to medium dogs in my home and yours if needed. I walk, exercise and play with them. Spend quality time with them. I do not cat sit in my home. I will go to your home and look after your cat. Litter change, feed and spend time with pet. As I mentioned, I do not sit cats in my house but I will visit your home and care for your cat in their environment.
“Lilliana is great. She is knowledgeable and patient. Our dog is very energetic. She's given us some good training tips, also. We're visiting from out of town and we've used her three times. She sends pictures and texts throughout his visit to keep us up on what he's up to.”
“Our puppy was giving Sarah kisses when we went to pick him up. That's a 5 gold star review :) Sarah's location is great for families visiting Kennedy Space Center who need a pet sitter.”
“I would give 100 stars if I could! Miranda and Curtis were AMAZING in dealing with Tanner, my energetic pup! They did such a good job helping him work through his anxiety and anxiousness and he came home happy, tired, and well loved! Will definitely be using them again in the future! Truly a wonderful experience!”

“Sasha was wonderful with my puppy and so kind and understanding throughout the entire day. My puppy can sometimes be a handful and requires a lot of attention, and she ended up having an accident in her house even after a walk, which I felt terrible about. Sasha handled it with patience and was incredibly considerate about it, which I really appreciated. She was also very flexible and easy to work with, responsive, and great at communication. I felt completely comfortable knowing my puppy was being cared for by someone patient, accommodating, and genuinely good with dogs. I would absolutely recommend her!”

“We were immediately comfortable with Jennifer’s calming presence and Milo didn’t even bark like he normally does on a first meeting. Her dogs were so sweet and Milo seemed to enjoy them, especially their toys!! We will definitely be calling on Jennifer again.”
“We hit the jackpot! I’m reluctant to tell you how amazing this experience was and what wonderful people they are because I selfishly want them all to myself. But I have to share that Fahriye and Daniel are the most amazing dog hosts and they spoiled us! In addition to outstanding care, they groomed my dog, Simon, washed his bed, baked him treats, and gave us a special surprise gift. Who does this?! They do! They sent photos, were so easy going and, most importantly, Simon was so excited to see them on the second day! He requires endless affection and attention which they didn’t seem to mind at all. I brought home a happy, CLEAN!, exercised, and well-cared for dog. I am so relieved and grateful to have found them ❤️🐾🐕🦺”
About: Dogs are my passion. I value the unconditional love that they provide greatly and I know that you do too. Being away from your four-legged child(ren) is a hard thing to do. My goal is to make your time apart as fun and cozy as it could possibly be for both you and your fur-babies. I am an experienced dog owner (giant breeds especially - I have had 3 Great Danes). Caring for your pets is my priority, which means that I am available all day, every day to provide unparalleled care and attention. I eagerly cater to high-energy dogs that require lots of activity and attention. I am very flexible and accommodating to specific needs such as allergies, sensitivities, activity levels, and training.

I am available Mon-Thurs after 4pm, Friday after 1pm, and full time on weekends I have a fenced in yard and four friendly dogs to keep your dog company if desired. I am CPR certified for animals and have 7 years of experience caring for animals of all sorts of care requirements. I strive to go above and beyond in animal care. I’d love to treat your pets as if they were my own!
“Adriana is truly an angel! She was able to help me out on my daughter’s wedding weekend after the pet sitter I had booked, back home, forced me to bring my two dogs with us to the hotel. I was blown away by her kindness, organization, and empathy. And best of all my dogs were happy, calm, and safe! I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter, a friend, and as an angel to anyone! Book her without hesitation!!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sanford
We couldn’t be happier with the care Douglania provided for our dog, Buster! As a pandemic rescue pup with separation anxiety, we were nervous about daycare, but Douglania was incredibly patient, supportive, and understanding. In just a short time, Buster’s socialization skills and confidence have improved so much. He comes home happy and relaxed every day. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she watches, and we’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave Buster. Highly recommend!
I would give 100 stars if I could! Miranda and Curtis were AMAZING in dealing with Tanner, my energetic pup! They did such a good job helping him work through his anxiety and anxiousness and he came home happy, tired, and well loved! Will definitely be using them again in the future! Truly a wonderful experience!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Sanford on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Sanford commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,923 sitters in Sanford, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
