“Kari went above and beyond while watching Wyatt and Fritz. My AC broke while I was out of town and she brought a portable unit to keep the house comfortable for the dogs and made extra trips to check on them. Plus the dogs absolutely loved her.”
“Catherine was amazing!!! She dropped in to take care of my cat twice a day, played with him & took excellent care of him while I was away. I received detailed updates and photos at each visit, which I appreciate it so much. My Max really likes her, and I will definitely be rebooking with her again when I go away next time.”
“Faviana took my reservation last minute on the 4th of July. I got stuck on a flight coming back home and she not only responded quickly, she made sure she grabbed the details needed to take the best care of my babies. She went above and beyond. She is sweet, kind, reliable and communicative. I will definitely trust her with my babies again. ❤️”
“I will definitely book with Lori again next time we need a sitter for Archie and Buoy. I had a sitter lined up that backed out at the last minute and Lori stepped right in as soon as I requested services. She and her daughters were at my home less than 30 minutes later to meet us and go over everything for the drop ins. She sent great photos and both my crazy dogs looked very happy. She even cleaned up a pile of cardboard they decided to destroy for fun. Highly recommend Lori and her daughters!”
About: I have lived with animals all my life. From domestic pets to living on a farm with cows and horses. I love all animals and will treat them as if they were my own. I work from home so I have a very flexible schedule. There’s plenty of time throughout my day and routine to provide attention to the animals I am looking after. I have a fenced back yard and patio. I have a mini dachshund who loves to play. If your pet needs to be in a crate we have plenty of space for that as well.
About: Hi! I'm your local Sanford pet sitter/walker. I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, small domesticated birds, and chickens. In my home, your dog will have a place to relax, play, and be happy. Your pup won’t just be a guest—they’ll be family. 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. Need to book last minute? If I’ve got the space, I’m happy to make it work! I also offer house-sitting, drop-in visits, pick-up/drop-off, and dog walking, within range of service. A brief Meet & Greet is required prior to sitting for all new clients to assure compatibility. Every morning we take walks and frequently a second walk after work. Since I work remotely and am home nearly all the time, your dog will always have company and attention throughout the day. We have a limit of 3 dogs so your dog gets the full care and attention it needs. 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 meal 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: Dogs are our best friends and I’ve had several over my life. I’ve taken care of senior dogs and dogs with medical conditions who need extra love and medicine. I understand our furry friends need attention and exercise to be the best versions of themselves - like we do! I was diagnosed with a rare cancer a couple of years ago and my toy poodle, Toby, played a big part in my recovery! I have been blessed to work from home which is where I will be the majority of the time to watch over your baby. I may very occasionally need to leave the house for brief errands, but will never be gone very long. We have cameras in our home to keep an eye on things while away. We try to have a good routine so as not to cause a lot of stress and uncertainty. We recently had a portion of our yard astroturfed and fenced, creating an awesome play space for our own toy poodle and any friends! I am always supervising play outside and we take appropriate breaks for rest and behavior training.
“Maria is a reliable and caring dog walker who always goes the extra mile for Bruce. She ensures he gets plenty of exercise, attention, and love on every walk, keeping his tail wagging and his spirits high. Her dependable nature and genuine affection make her an essential part of Bruce’s happy routine.”
“My very first time using Rover, and I’m so lucky to have found Kristen. She is extremely attentive, kind, and communicative. I’m much more comfortable with leaving Tank at home while I vacation because of her. Thank you endlessly Kristen :)”

“Ashley took on this task with a short notice and during a holiday. She was kind, patient and very diligent in watching over our two sometimes emotional cats. She kept in contact with us each day sending notes and pictures which allowed us to enjoy our holiday with peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a mature, dependable pet care helper-who will treat as more than just a job.”
About: I am available during the weeks for boarding, I do currently work a regular 8-5 shift, and come home for an hour lunch break. On my off days I am free and flexible. I love all animals! And I am open to taking care of other pets as well as dogs. Birds, ferrets, chinchillas, fish, reptiles, you name it and I’m definitely ok with it! Give me a try and see how much you’ll love me! I know that your pets will! I am always free early morning, and evenings on any day of the week for drop in visits and house sitting. My off days I am available all day long. My working days are a set schedule, so there’s no surprises. My fur baby at home does well with the schedule and even better when she has a playmate! I live in a safe gated neighborhood, and have a friendly little jack Russell mix that loves other animals! I let house trained pets roam free in the home, and untrained pets I can happily crate for you only when they are left alone! (I.e. I am running a quick errand) And I always have a watch on your fur babies with my indoor security cameras!
About: I have cared for lots of different kinds of animals in my life, going all the way back to walking neighborhood dogs and popping in to tend to cats and fish at 10. I have been the go-to person in my family for any pet sitting needs since I was young. I have worked as a Vet Tech at Vetco, trained dogs of all ages since I was 12, and recently worked as a Kennel Technician. I’ve owned freshwater fish, bearded dragons, long and short hair cats, hamsters, toads, rats, ferrets, snakes, and a few different dogs. If your pet has special needs I am sensitive to those as well and I am fully willing to provide whatever kinds of special care they may need, including medications, wipe downs/baths, assisting them up/down stairs, etc. I have cared for lots of different kinds of pets and can’t wait to add yours to the mix! I currently am in the process of changing jobs, so I am available most days of the week and I can do holiday and weekend visits as well. I will do my best to make your fur babies feel comfortable and safe when I visit and care for them. I love getting to know pets personalities and I take a genuine investment in their well being.
About: As an animal lover and pet owner my entire life, I understand the worry of leaving your furbabies alone. I am here to help with walks and check-ins to provide relief while you’re away. Take a deep breath and relax while I take care of, and love them as my own. I’m currently a stay at home wife who is ready to help bring in a little extra income. I have one cat of my own that is super chill. I am readily available to help at almost any time. I care for pets in my clients home as if they were my own. Not only making sure they have basic necessities but the love and attention they need while you’re away as well. Having a husky through my childhood I understand how much attention some animals need and the love they deserve.
About: I love to take animals I sit to the park and try to teach them new tricks. I have had some senior care and sit a lot of puppies. I am currently enrolled in college for engineering. I can sit almost every night and day. As long as I can attend my hour long class twice a week. Other than that I’m all yours! I honestly spoil my pets. I mostly stay home so I like to take them on walk and drive to the park. When I stay to pet sit I spend most my time entertaining the pets.
