“Excellent and reliable. I got stuck in another state for an extra day due to a flight cancellation, and she was so helpful with watching my dog extra and flexible with a last minute change in plans. Used her services multiple times and always satisfied!”
“Hannah and her family were really great at taking care of my pup! I really appreciate her communicativeness and her flexibility. I had no concerns while she was taking care of my dog and would absolutely use her again for future boarding needs!”
“Our dog Layla had the best time and was treated like family! She was well taken care of and loved on by the whole family which gave me peace of mind while out of town. I would highly recommend this family to take care of any pet while you are away.”
“Our dog, Dwight, had a fantastic stay with Jeanne! She made him feel right at home. We especially loved the daily updates and photos. Dwight will definitely visit again!”
“Jaclyn and Eric sent me regular updates on Tilly with cute videos and photos of her progress with the other dogs that were there. Tilly had a great time and would love to come back!”
“Benji had a great time staying with Nicholas and his family. I know this because Nicholas sent me lots of pictures and I was able to see that Benji was very chill, enjoying tummy rubs, getting along well with Nicholas' other 3 dogs and finding his place to relax right under their desk (just like he does at home). Benji has a sensitive stomach and often doesn't eat for the first couple of days. When his appetite did pick up, Nicholas was careful to make sure that Benji ate only his special food and that kept his GI track working properly! On the day of our return, our pickup time had to be delayed because of a flight change, but this was not a problem at all for Nicholas. We will definitely reach out to Nicholas the next time that we have need for a pet sitter.”
“Diana was absolutely amazing with Nash! I can’t wait to use her services again! Nash went on plenty of walks her property is a dogs heaven. She sent so many pictures and updates! Truly the best possible experience!”
“Our pup had a wonderful time with Janice, and with great communication throughout the stay we had peace of mind she was well cared for. Would definitely recommend and look forward to our next booking!”
“Katie was great with our lab Oscar! We went away for a long weekend and she treated him like her own. It was wonderful knowing he was in great hands and having a good time.”
“Becky was great. She accepted the booking quickly and communicated well throughout. The photos showed a group of very happy dogs - these are some of my favorite photos of my little guy. My dog can't bear to be left alone and is a sweet but insistent snuggler. He also gets the zoomies when he is nervous. She welcomed him with open arms and settled him quickly. She was sorry to see him leave, but he will definitely be back!”
“Emily was awesome! She took amazing care of Stormy and made us feel so comfortable while we were away with daily photo updates and great communication! We would 100% leave Stormy with her again!”
“I had a last minute booking need come up and I’m so glad I did so I could meet Elisabeth! Elisabeth was so wonderful and caring to my dog. I was really excited to see she has other small dogs, and Louise had a blast running around with her crew. Elisabeth was incredibly caring, she sent really thorough updates and made Louise feel right at home after I left. I felt so at ease knowing my sensitive little dog was so well cared for and had some friends to play with. I would absolutely bring Louise back and highly recommend Elisabeth!”
“Niccolo and his wife took such great care of our Momo—they walked her lots, encouraged that she play with their pets, and snuggled her all night long (her happy place!). We’ll definitely entrust her with them again next time we’re in the area. Thank you!”
“Connor was great with our dog Bolt! This was our first time going through the app, she made it very easy. We were bringing Bolt to a boarding place nearby but would always feel very on edge and worrying while on vacation. He would come home from the boarding place and his elbows were very rough and red and he would be so thirsty. I picked him up from Connor and he was fine, like he never left home. He was a little tired but that’s to be expected going to a new place. Connor’s house was clean and she has a very nice yard and large covered porch she sat under with him. She was easy to communicate with and flexible. As soon as I met her and she met my dog, I knew we were going to be good! I plan to bring him to her again soon and will continue to for as long as I can!”
“Kyle and Kaleigh have the perfect set up to watch our dog. We were completely comfortable leaving our pup with them and they were awesome about sending us pictures and communicating on how our dog was doing”
“This was our second time booking with Cassidy family, and once again we’re so grateful she was able to accommodate a last-minute request! It gave us real peace of mind knowing Lucky was in good hands. She sent photo updates throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. Her dog and children were both incredibly sweet and gentle with Lucky — it’s clear they’re a dog-loving household. We’re confident Lucky was well cared for and would happily book with her again!”
“If I could give more than 5 stars I would. From my first communication with Savanna, to meeting, drop off, pick up the entire process was a great experience. I received daily updates as well, it was nice to see and hear how their stay was going. I felt like I left my dogs with family, people who loved and cared for them as we would!!!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sanford on Rover is $47.73 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Sanford sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Sanford landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Sanford home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Sanford.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Sanford sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in ME ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
