“Joy is amazing. She’s very communicative, responsible, and the kitties took to her very well. She even cleaned up after the youngest decided to unlearn the litter box while we were away, which we appreciate very much. 10/10 sitter ❤️”
“Brianna was wonderful. Felix felt super comfortable with her and that’s a huge thing for a cat and for us as parents. Everything we asked was taken care of by Brianna!”
“Summer was amazing ❤️ I had to find a sitter last minute and she was willing to rearrange her schedule to helps us walk our pups. I will definitely call her again for future dates. Thank you so much Summer ?”
“Morgan did a great job taking care of our outdoor neighborhood cats. She even managed to get pictures of them nearly every day. I can tell Morgan loves animals and genuinely cared about taking care of Vader and our sometimes porch cat Alexander.”
“Amanda will be my new “Drop-in” sitter. She followed all instruction exactly as I left it and was so nice and patient with my 2 dogs. My girls are very routine based and particular, she went above and beyond to help in just her one hour of service.”
“Caitlin is wonderful. We were stranded out of town for 48 extra hours on our trip and she stepped right up, taking great care of our dog on those unexpected days. We always have a little anxiety leaving our elder dog and then to have extra days on top - but Caitlin communicates with each visit and provides photos so we can see our old girl is doing just fine. Thank you!!”
About: I am an animal care professional with a focus on herpetological conservation. I am trained in animal behavior and veterinary technician care. I will provide your pet with stellar care, enrichment, and play! I will provide YOU with ample communication and photos because I know first hand how hard it is to leave your sweet creatures with a stranger. I am currently working full time in eustis so I am available for dog walking in the evenings and drop in visits morning and evening. In your home I will make sure your animal is living in a clean environment, cleaning food dishes and litter boxes daily. I will also be sure that they are getting ample play and enrichment time to ensure they are happy and healthy! I can adjust any care based on temperament or medical needs.
“I had to travel out of state for a week. Douglania dropped in at my house every evening as I had asked, to feed my cat Clove, change out her drinking water, clean her litter box and to play with Clove as well. While I was away I received many photos, videos and updates every day of Clove and I could tell Clove was very happy. It gave me peace of mind to know that Clove would be checked on every day and given some love. Douglania took great care of my cat Clove and I would for sure use her services again in future.”
“Becca was absolutely amazing with our two kitties! They can both be shy, but they very quickly warmed up to her. Everything was taken care of perfectly and she even gave our fussy cat her medication :). Throughout our whole trip, we got plenty of pictures and videos, and general updates on the cats. Becca even went above expectations to keep the house tidied up and took our trash out, and brought our mail inside. The kitties and I both know they were in great hands while we were away, and received all the love and attention they could get :)”
“Kathleen was wonderful with my puppy! Kathleen really went above and beyond and my puppy adored her. Kathleen is punctual, reliable, and great at communicating. I enjoyed cute pics and little videos. I highly recommend.”

I am so thankful to have Kathleen watch my sweet senior kitty while I was on vacation. She is always communicating with me with updates and sending photos and videos to let me see how my cat is doing. I trust her completely with administering her medication as well. I can truly relax on vacation knowing that my cat is so well cared for. Thank you Kathleen!
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!
Allison took excellent care of my pets - dropping in multiple times a day and even going above and beyond picking up after there mini house renovations and bathroom stops outside! She managed multiple feeding scheudles and meds. Our pets were stress free during our trip because of Allison's care. We will be continuing to book with Allison for our pet care.
Ilene is the best! She meet with us ahead of time to introduce herself and meet our 4 babies before our vacation. She was so kind and communicated every step of the way. We felt so at ease while we were away! She took pictures and gave updates. Ilene is a true animal lover and we will definitely be rebooking with her! Thank you so much for Ilene for your care for our babies while we were away!
Summer is our go-to sitter for our cats. We know they are being loved and cared for while we are away. She spends time playing with our high energy kitten and is patient with our older shy cat. Thanks again Summer for a great job looking after our two…it’s great to be able to get away and not worry about them. We most definitely will be calling on you again.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sanford stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:

- 98% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
