“Joy is such a wonderful soul. She will be my go to person when available. She is accommodating and professional. I only wanted my fur baby to be fed and she did that and also cleaned his litter box and showed him love. Joy went above and beyond. Thank you”
“Fantastic! Jennifer showed my 12 year old sheltie so much love . She also administered his insulin and his eye drops. She visited my house twice a day to feed & walk him. Took pics and videos and sent them to me. I'm So happy I found a great sitter.”
“Absolutely wonderful! She took great care of my dog and made sure my 6-week-old kitten was fed and cared for while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pets were in such loving and reliable hands. Highly recommend!”
“Morgan is awesome! She was right on time and so sweet and kind to my pups! I felt super comfortable knowing they were being taken care of by her and will absolutely be using her again!”
“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.”
“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’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.

“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 ?”
About: With 10 years of dog-sitting experience, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of every size, from the tiniest Chihuahuas to big, lovable Pit Bulls and everything in between.

From Tuesday through Friday, I work in the office from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Before and after work, I’ll make sure your dog gets lots of love, exercise, and quality time. On the weekends, I’m typically home and have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to spend even more time with your furry friend. I don’t have any children or other pets, so your dog will receive my full attention in a calm, quiet environment. My goal is to make your pup feel safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away! Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I live in a safe, gated community with a beautiful dog park and a large pond with walking paths, providing the perfect environment for walks, exercise, and outdoor time.

“Shirley is so great with my old boy, Hank!! She’s always on time and makes sure to keep me up to date on everything so I don’t have to worry a bit while I’m gone. She really cares for my boy, goes above and beyond and I never have to worry about his well being in her care!”
“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: As an animal lover and devoted dog mom, I know that our pets are family. I don’t see pet care as just a job—I genuinely care for every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and all the little things that help them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sanford
I needed to schedule a week out of town and my usual cat sitter was not available. I signed in to Rover and found Brianna within a week she came to my house for a meet and greet. Brianna was friendly and attentive and my 14 year old cat enjoyed her company. She kept me informed while I was away and sent several photos. Thank you Brianna. I’ll be calling again soon! :)
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!
Joy was absolutely wonderful! She showed up right on time, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. My dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for while I was away. The best part was seeing how excited he was to see Joy and how much he genuinely enjoyed spending time with her. It’s obvious she truly loves animals and gives them lots of attention, affection, and care.
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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
