“Allison was fantastic! She gave us peace of mind for the 6 days we were away. The picture updates were great and her detailed visits made us feel better about being away. Would definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. I’m also comfortable managing multiple pets at once and making sure each one gets the attention they deserve. I truly see dogs and cats as part of the family, and I treat every pet in my care like my own—with love, patience, and plenty of attention. I work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. Pet care is part of my daily routine, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, companionship, and care. I’m able to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, and check-ins, ensuring your pet stays happy and comfortable. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs, routine, and personality. In my home, pets receive lots of attention, regular walks or potty breaks, and a calm, safe environment. I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for, just like they would at home. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely—from feeding schedules to walks, medications, and preferred routines. I’m respectful, clean, and treat both your pet and your home with care. I also provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing whether at my home or yours.
About: I have worked in a vet clinic setting that has allowed me to work with different types of animals of all ages. I have works from little dogs to big dogs to little cats to big cats. I always treat the animals like they’re one of us and make sure they are comfortable and happy. I always make time for my animals no matter the time I always work around and make sure everyone is happy. I’m open to work around my schedule in their schedule. The care that I give all animals does not change. I care for them all equally making sure they are all comfortable and they feel safe in their home either if it’s in my place or theirs.
About: I have been raising and taking care of dogs since I was young. Am comfortable giving medications, working with puppies and different dietary needs for your pet. I am currently in a nursing program and only have in person commitments a few times a week. Each week is a little different for me but I have plenty of time to care for your babies! I always keep pets leashed when walking them and make sure to pay attention to the weather. I always have water and treats with me when walking.
“Halee is kind, communicative, attentive and great with our furry crew of one pup and three cats. She listens to our needs for our feeding routine and is just a joy to be around.”
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!
“Our dogs were very well taken care of and enjoyed a walk with each drop in! We appreciated Juan’s attention to detail and felt so relieved to have our dogs in good hands.”
“Caitlin is the best! She loved my fur baby like if it was her baby too! Having a GSD, he is always misunderstood, but she gave him the love and safe space to open up and be himself while I was away. We will def be reaching out to Cait in the future! She is part of the tribe now! Thank you so much Cait! 💖”

About: have loved animals since I was very young. Growing up, I was surrounded by cats and dogs, and I'm accustomed to pet-sitting and dog-walking for family and friends. Making new furry friends is always a fun and exciting experience for me. I’m also currently learning to be a vet assistant. I work part-time, so my schedule varies slightly week to week. But I always do my best to find times that work for both of us. I’m happy to be flexible and accommodate your pet’s needs just send me a message and we can figure out a schedule that fits. I try to stick with the pet's routine as best as possible. I am also very cautious about following any specific directions. I will try to accommodate you as best as possible to make your furry friend safe and comfy!
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.
“Oh my gosh if I could leave 100 stars I would. Anna was the most amazing sitter for Rueger. The love she gave Rueger and the attention to detail was incredible in all 3 of her drop in visits daily. She also took him 2 times a day for nice long walks, played games and gave cuddles. Her photos, videos and written commentary gave me such joy. She even told me about a new game she played with Rueger that I'm definitely going to try. As hard as it is leaving him even for one night, Anna made it easier and very comforting. Thanks Anna you are a treasure!”
About: I always treat every furry as though they were one of my own to get a start on the right paw. Not enough room at home or in the yard? I have no issue heading to a local spot to run around in and then head back for a nice cooldown. I treat play time and quiet time with equal importance because releasing energy and calm relaxation are needed for good balance. I am currently working part-time and I am consistently available most weekdays after 4pm. My calendar will be updated properly to reflect my weekly openings. I am very attentive and detail oriented and will always adhere to any house rules and routines set in the client’s home to maintain a safe and stable environment.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sanford
My cats love Ilene! She does an amazing job taking care of my fur babies when I’m gone. She was even able to give one of my cats his pills without incident when he was on some meds. I love getting all the pictures she sends, it gives me peace of mind seeing them doing well while I’m so far away.
Adriana is the best! She’s a great communicator and is so reliable which is such a relief when you’re far away from your pets. She is so good with our two big dogs and our cat, they love her! She’s accommodating with medications/ food prep/ walking schedules. I can’t recommend her more!
I cannot say enough about how wonderful Catherine is - my cat Max loves her, and she is simply amazing with him. She always gives him so much attention and affection when she is caring for him. I love getting the pictures, notes and updates each time she drops in to care for him. He was comfortable around her from day one ; I have had her look after my fur baby several times already and I will be rebooking with her again. Thank you, Catherine.
I cannot recommend Kari enough. She was willing to work with me last minute, and then went above and beyond while watching my crazies. I have three dogs that have just moved across the country, two of them are geriatric, and they were leaving masses all over the place. Kari it took care of it like a champ, even offered to help clean and put a load of wash in, etc. Bringing her own mop to make sure the house was left in better condition she found it in while simultaneously taking such good care of my babies. As a sitter on her, Myself, I would have to say that this is exactly the type of person you want watching your pets. ❤️ thanks Kari, I will definitely be reaching out to you again soon!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sanford is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $7 and $29 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 4,841 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sanford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sanford. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
sitters 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 sitter.
