“Brian was a perfect host. House was exactly what you’d want form a sitter. Clean, quiet, and tidy. Great communicator, and he has a great dog that is very friendly and welcoming to my dog. I’ve finally found my dog his new vacation spot when I have to go out of town. Thanks for the great experience Brian.”
“Treasure took amazing care of my needy blue heeler for the second time! My pup was super happy to be back and hanging out in the fenced-in backyard again. Treasure kept me informed every day and sent lots of great pictures! Definitely recommend, we'll be back.”
“Sarah and her family were amazing and took such great care of Jackson! Great communication from start to finish. We got plenty of updates and photos througout our 2 week trip and we could tell Jackson really enjoyed his stay there. Jackson was happy to see us but I could tell he was going to miss staying there too. Thank you again Sarah, Jackson will definitely be back for our next trip!”
“This is my second review, and I can honestly say the kindness and care shown to my dog continues to mean so much to me. Every once in a while, you come across people who remind you that genuine compassion still exists, and this is one of those times. I’m beyond grateful for how well he is cared for and for the peace of mind that comes with knowing he’s in such good hands. I truly can’t thank them enough.”

“My dog had a great time with Karla and Victor! They provided pictures and reports from his stay, and he enjoyed the walks and backyard time. Enjoyed our vacation knowing he was enjoying himself too. :)”
“Excellent choice in a last minute booking. I know my dog was loved the entire weekend. She felt so genuine. If ever in the area I’d book her again and again. Thanks for a positive experience.”
“Luke took care of our two little doggos and also my in-law’s dog. Though there was some complexity with drop off due to the home being in a gated community, Luke kept in touch and was quite flexible about adapting to changes in our schedule. We were traveling for a funeral and his kindness and accommodations were very much appreciated. The doggos came home happy and clearly well cared for.”
“Overall great experience. Quick to respond and took the initiative to send pictures everyday. The home was beautiful and I felt very safe leaving my puppy for a few nights.”

“Leslie and James did a great job caring for Lacy! They took her for walks, to the park, and on car rides which she loves. She was well cared for and will visit again!”
About: Hi, I am Tammy… I recently lost our beloved Great Dane, Blue after 7 wonderful years together. While our home feels a little too quiet right now, our love for animals hasn’t changed. I am opening our hearts and home on Rover to give other pets the same dedicated, high-quality care, comfort, and affection we gave our own. I have long backgrounds (30+ years) of dog ownership. I have attended many training courses (e.g., Sit Means Sit) and have full comprehension for the theory and application of training principles. I live in a child-free and pet-free home - your dog would would be my sole guest. My home is completely tiled on the first floor and accident proof. My home is fully dog-proofed for safety, quiet, and secure. My backyard is ample and unfenced, so we would provide regular, leashed access outside for potty breaks and walks as desired/appropriate. Dogs can expect to spend most time inside in the air-conditioning with access to the outdoors as needed/desired. I are not a farm, etc., where your pet would be primarily outside. I live in a wonderful, quiet, gated community. Several of my previous pets had special needs, requirements, etc., so I fully understand how critical those needs are. Whether your pup is an energetic fetch enthusiast, a senior dog who prefers slow strolls and cozy naps, or a dog with food allergies or specific dietary concerns, we follow your routine to the letter—including strict feeding and medication schedules. I would love to meet you and your fur baby! Feel free to reach out to schedule a Meet & Greet so I can ensure we’re the perfect fit for your dog's needs. I am available for long weekends only at this point - Friday through Sunday. If needed drop off also available Thursday evenings after 7pm. Pet care during this time would be my 100% focus. We have a large 2-story home in a safe, quiet, gated community. Our previous dog (Blue, the Great Dane) had severe allergies and strict dietary restrictions, so our home is dog-proofed, our yard is well-manicured to minimize allergens tracked inside, and the entire first floor is tiled in case of accidents. We are child and pet free - your pet would be our sole guest and 100% focus.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Sanford is $40
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sanford
We had a great experience! She was very understanding of Susy’s needs and adapted to her personality and behavior. Susy is not always an easy dog, especially now that she’s getting older, so we really appreciated her patience and the way she gave Susy the space she needed to feel comfortable!
Holly was absolutely amazing. She took my dogs in last minute for 3 days and nights without hesitation, which meant more to me than she probably knows. From the moment I left them with her, I felt at ease. She sent pictures and videos constantly throughout the day, including updates from every walk. She took them on multiple walks daily and kept them very active. She even cooked food for them and treated them with so much love and care — like they were her own children. That level of attention and accommodation is rare. I’m beyond impressed and genuinely grateful. Holly has such a vibrant, kind personality and it shows in how she cares for animals. My dogs clearly loved her, and that tells me everything. I would trust her again without hesitation. Highly recommend.
Theresa and her entire family take such good care of Senga! (who is "selectively social") Additionally they have an instinctual ability to know when certain dogs are good to play together and when they may need time alone. I can relax and enjoy my vacation knowing everyone is happy and safe!

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 .
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 .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
