“we absolutely loved Gypsy and Keith. My boyfriend and I went for a weekend away and we needed a place to keep our fur baby. We were so lucky to have found them on DogVacay. It was our first time using the site as well and we were both so nervous about leaving our little guy behind, but they both kept our minds at ease. Gypsy sent us photos throughout the trip of him going for long walks and playing with the other dogs, which is amazing since he is usually antisocial with other animals, but he didn't seem to have an issue at all and was able to make new friends. When we picked him up he was so behaved and they actually taught him not to jump up so much, which is a plus since we have been trying to teach him not to do that for ages. He is now home and you can tell he had such an amazing time with them. He is completely worn out from the fun. :) We will definitely be leaving our little guy there every time we take a trip.”
“Alyssa and Ryan are fabulous! They took such great care of our two labradoodles while we were on vacation. They sent lots of pictures every day and gave us detailed updates! Our dogs looked so happy in all of the photos! They received lots of love and lots of exercise too! We highly recommend Alyssa and Ryan. We will definitely leave our pups with them again!”
“Blue loved staying here!! I swear he came home missing the other dogs he made friends with. He was well taken care of and I received daily updates and pictures. I also really appreciated a meet and greet in advance of our Blues stay. I’m sure he can’t wait to be back!”
“Anne was such a sweetheart with my baby. He loved spending a few days with her. She was pleasant and communicated quickly. She’ll definitely be my first go to the next time I need a sitter.”
“I can’t say it enough, how wonderful Millie treated our one year old Cocker Spaniel. He was calm and happy when we picked him up. She kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout his stay. We will definitely be doing this again :)”
“Nadia did a great job taking care of my pup for a second time. She was very accommodating when I needed to extend the booking due to a delayed flight back home. She always provided pictures throughout the week as well. I highly recommend Nadia for taking care of your pet. Thanks Nadia!!!”
“Linda is so knowledgeable about dogs in general but also keeps you well informed about your pets wellbeing! This was our first time using her or blurring them at all and I can tell you they had a ball, which comforted us greatly. She’s a gem I would highly recommend her!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've been a devoted dog owner for nearly my entire life and understand that every dog deserves patience, love, and dependable care. I had the privilege of loving my dog, Pirate, for 14 wonderful years, and I've cared for my Labrador, Milo, for the past six years. They have taught me the importance of consistency, exercise, affection, and recognizing each dog's unique personality and needs. After recently saying goodbye to Pirate and helping my daughter by returning Milo to her care, my home in Florida has become much quieter. I genuinely miss the companionship that dogs bring, which is why I decided to join Rover. Caring for dogs isn't just something I do—it's something I truly enjoy. Whether your pup needs a walk, playtime, cuddles, or a safe and loving place while you're away, I'll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in kind, responsible, and experienced hands. I work full time typically 4 days a week. I am home during work days after 4:30pm. I am available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. I have a partially fenced in backyard, but access to the left of my home to my neighors, it is a small backyard and very safe. I also have a dog park for walks and exercise.
“We know our furbabies love them cuz the last time we dropped them off, they got so excited. They’re both 9 years old and normally gets anxiety anywhere. But since this isn’t our first time with Luisa and William, they seem to enjoy their company.”
“Marie was phenomenal! She took in Mochi as if he was her own doggie. I got videos and pics of his stay each day and saw how much fun he was having playing and running around. I felt great knowing he was in her hands and in a safe loving environment.”
“Our dogs love Jackie! They feel at home at her house! Jackie is a very kind and gentle soul. We feel very blessed to have found a sitter who feels like family! Thank you so much for loving and caring for our dogs. The Sullivan’s”
“We had a great experience with Maria and Jose! They took wonderful care of Callie, kept us updated throughout the stay, and made sure Callie was comfortable, happy and well cared for. We really appreciated them and would happily book again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Jessica! From our first exchange, she was warm, personable, professional, and highly communicative. I felt comfortable entrusting Ollie and Mila to her care for an entire week. Jessica was thoughtful and attentive to their routines and individual personalities. Most importantly, it was clear that my dogs weren't simply being looked after—they were genuinely loved! They received plenty of affection from the whole family, and knowing they were happy and comfortable gave me tremendous peace of mind while traveling. I would happily book with Jessica again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter. Ollie and Mila clearly enjoyed their stay!”
“Diamond took wonderful care of my two cats while I was away! She was very caring, attentive, and responsive throughout their stay. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands.”
“I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about Jomarie! George, our black lab, is basically our child, so leaving him while we went on vacation was not easy for me. I was nervous about being away from him for so long, but she made the entire experience absolutely amazing! Every single day, she sent us pictures and videos of George, which gave me so much peace of mind. She took him on so many walks, gave him tons of attention, and genuinely made him feel loved. But I think the biggest compliment came from George himself! When we picked him up, he was so excited to see us, but he actually CRIED when it was time to leave Jomarie! I’ve also never seen him give someone so many kisses! That alone told me everything I needed to know about how well he was treated. She is such a kind, lovely person, and I truly believe George had his own little vacation while we were on ours! I’m so grateful we found someone who cared for him like he was her own. I would absolutely recommend Jomarie to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur baby. George might even be requesting another vacation soon! ❤️🐾”
“She’s amazing! Liliana took care of my very shy dog who has separation anxiety from me. She sent me pictures/ updated me everyday on him! She’s very kind and cares about dogs a lot. Book her!”

Joanna was wonderful with my two small dogs. I have never left them with a dog sitter before and she made me so comfortable and made sure the dogs were happy and so well taken care of. She kept me updated and sent lots of pics. Will definitely use her again she did a wonderful job!!!
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!

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.
There are 2,335 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Sanford. About 91% of Sanford sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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.
