“Adriana is fantastic! She is incredibly professional and communicates before, during, and after her visits. She is responsible and reliable, and I know I can trust her to take care of my dog, Milton, when I’m gone for a long day.”
“Becca is a very pleasant and engaging person. You can tell immediately that she was an animal lover which brought us comfort while we were away. She was punctual and quick to respond to messages. She took wonderful care of our 3 cats. After losing one of my cats this year I was hesitant to go away. After meeting Becca I felt that they were left in good hands. She sent us messages and pictures with each visit. I strongly recommend her services. We plan on using her again.”
“Kathleen was the most amazing caretaker for our sweet senior cat. She administered medication twice a day while we were out of town. She was a superb communicator at when our visits would start and finish. I completely trusted her from the moment I met her and her husband before we left. She cleaned up all the cat dishes, litter that might of gotten out of the box and even swept my bathroom where the litter box was. I got multiple pictures a day and a sweet report card. I would hire her again and again to take care of my sweet 18 year old kitty.”
“Morgan was amazing with all 3 of my dogs. We have a hard time finding someone that will be able to coax my senior dog out of the house to potty. Morgan did in record timing! We we so happy to have found Morgan.”
“Summer did an amazing job looking after our two kitties. She not only made sure the basic food, water and litter were taken care of but took time to interact and play with them as well. Will definitely book her again. Thanks Summer!”
“Brianna was amazing with our 1 year old lab! Sent us lots of photos and had great communication. We have already had Brianna return and will be booking more in the future! It’s great to have someone close to our home we can trust with our fur babies!”
“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: I have 3 years experience working in pet stores as an animal care expert, 2 years as a dog bather, and 1 year as a kennel technician. I have 3 cats and a hound dog currently and have grown up caring for animals! I am a stay at home mom and my husband works from home. This gives me the freedom to leave my house when needed and care for your babies! I am very passionate about proper animal care. I have 4 pets that I adore, and I will treat your baby as if they were my own! I will ensure that any rules or instructions are followed to a T.
“Love Caryna! She sent me photos everyday of my dogs while I was away! She loves my dogs and they love her... I wouldn’t want anyone else to watch my dogs when me and my fiancé are away”
“Haley stopped in to check on our cats for a few days, and we are so grateful! She played and took care of our kitties and sent great notes/pictures each day. We are always missing our cats when we travel, so knowing they were in good hands made us feel so much better. Thank you Haley!”
“Another great weekend away while Debbie watched my fur babies. She spends so much time with them and I can tell they love her from all the photos. Thank you for always being awesome!”
“She did a great job. Was very prompt and thorough and took many pictures of our kitties with updates. Even when our cat misbehaved and broke a plate, she cleaned it up so they wouldn’t hurt themselves with the glass. Would definitely hire again.”
“Addie is INCREDIBLE! She is prompt with her responses and was quick to respond to my inquiry and schedule a meet and greet. It is clear she cares about animals and wants them to feel safe with her. She has gone out of her way to make the most of her time with my shy baby every time she’s there, and had given me detailed reports and pictures. I couldn’t recommend her more! Thank you, Addie!”
About: Hi! My name is Brandy! I have a certificate for zoo and domestic animal care from yavapai college in Arizona. I am also a dog owner of 11 years. I have certified both my dogs through the petsmart training courses. I have learned a lot through school and owning dogs of my own and have always had a passion for animals. Thanks so much for considering me for your furry babies! I am a server working part time and am looking for a way to make a little extra money on the side doing something I love! I am available for dog walking Monday-Sunday anytime before 2:30 and available Monday-Wednesday for overnights or whatever you may need as those are my days off.

Brianna was wonderful! She was always punctual and did a great job keeping me updated after each visit. I really appreciated the detailed notes and photos—it gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly took great care of her. I would absolutely recommend Brianna to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter, and I’ll definitely be using her again in the future! 🐾❤️
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Sanford on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,819 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sanford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
