About: I have had pets my whole life and have been pet sitting for the past five years. I have come to know these pets that I have watched as family members, but have since moved back to California! I have experience with cats and dogs, both my own, and other people that I have watched as well as a few bunnies and even some rats! I am happy to help with cleaning around the house or small gardening activities if necessary during longer trips or anything else that might be necessary for someone to have a comfortable vacation! I hope I can be your go to pet sitter for years to come! I just moved back to the area so I have a part-time job at a winery till about 6 pm on Fridays and Saturdays, but can work around that (just ask!) or any other day of the week! I love making pets feel comfortable and sticking to their given routine. I feel that when the parents are out of town, it can be stressful so keeping things as normal as possible is incredibly important! It’s great to go on walks for dogs and just to have some time lounging around for cats playing with one of their toys. I have experience with mildly aggressive or reactive dogs and semi feral cats and know some tips and tricks to make them feel more comfortable and less scared upon meeting me for the first time.
“Michelle picked up our dog for us after our wedding ceremony! She ensured Bond had a safe way home and got a walk in. Michelle clearly loves dogs so much and was so flexible and kind. Highly recommend her for any doggo care you need! Thank you Michelle!!”
“Catherine was absolutely great with our dog Maple. She did a meet and greet and asked thoughtful questions to ensure she knew the ins and outs of walking our pup. Catherine managed Maple incredibly well and took care in providing detailed rover cards of how the walks went!”
“Catharine has been wonderful with our puppy, Casco. We have used her for dog walking several times this week and will continue to use her again when we need some help and are unable to make it home during the work day! She is very responsive, timely, and has followed all directions. I would definitely fecomment her!”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced, dependable animal lover who understands that your pets are family. My goal is to provide exceptional care while giving you complete peace of mind whenever you’re away. I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets and have worked alongside my sister in her successful pet sitting business, which has proudly served the Greater Portland area for over 15 years. Through that experience, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust. I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, love, plenty of attention, and lots of belly rubs (if they approve!). Whether your pet needs a midday walk, drop-in visits, overnight care, or extra companionship while you’re away, I’m committed to keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. You can expect reliable communication, photo updates, and careful attention to any special instructions, medications, feeding schedules, or routines. I take pride in being dependable, detail-oriented, and making both pets and their owners feel comfortable. To ensure everyone is a great fit, I require a meet-and-greet before all new bookings. This gives us the opportunity to get to know one another, answer any questions, and help your pet feel comfortable before our first visit. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member and provide the loving care they deserve! I work full-time during the weekdays, but pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for. I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend visits, as well as overnight stays depending on my schedule. I strive to be flexible and will always communicate clearly about my availability. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care that fits your pet’s routine and gives you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I treat every home with the utmost respect and every pet as if they were my own. You’ll receive regular updates and photos during each visit, so you’ll always know how your furry family member is doing. I also require a meet-and-greet before new bookings to ensure we’re a great fit and to help your pet feel comfortable before our first visit.
About: Ive owned dogs my entire life and have worked as a dog groomer for coming up on 3 years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. Im looking to schedule services when my children are in school, and on my days off from work. Anytime during those days is fine, and I’m hoping to add more availability in the future. I have a relatively large backyard, and a playful dog to keep your pet company! I can crate them if needed, and have fun puzzles and other toys to keep them happy and busy!
About: I have dropped in for large dog care. I have stayed in a house watching 3 small dogs. I personally had a lab growing up. I have taken care of a large dog and small dog and stayed at their home. I personally have a cat and I love all animals. I would be great as someone who can walk dogs early in the morning or in the evening and I have some availability throughout the day as well. I have a flexible schedule and work remote so I can work around my schedule. I want to make sure all the pets I care for are comfortable. Access to clean fresh water for all pets is a must. I love to play with dogs and cats whether that be toys or lasers. I love going on walks and making sure dogs have proper exercise. I would follow all instructions left for me diligently.
“Ashley is so caring and thoughtful! She wants me and my dog to be comfortable, and really understands animals and thier needs. I feel very safe having my dog be taken care of by her! Thank you Ashley!”
“Our senior husky loves his daily walks with Audra! She takes great care with him, longer walks when he’s energetic and shorter walks when he needs to take it easy. We hired her because our boy could no longer go the whole day without a potty break while we’re at work and she has been so reliable. Loki is doing much better with this new routine as well.”
About: Hi! I’m Terri, and I’ve spent most of my life working with people, animals, and creating environments where others feel safe and cared for. I was a teacher for 20 years, so I’m extremely patient, responsible, and attentive to details—qualities that translate perfectly to caring for pets. I also have a strong background in customer service from my time at the Four Seasons, where I learned how important trust, communication, and reliability are. My schedule is very flexible right now, and I’m currently available most days from late morning through the evening. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and provide consistent, reliable care. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention to routines, surroundings, and each pet’s comfort level. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I always follow any instructions you provide to keep your pet safe and happy.
“Fern did an amazing job with my anxious senior dog, Cookie. She walked Cookie from mid-July to mid-September, 2025, often daily. She was patient and helped problem solve how to have Cookie feel at ease. She built trust quickly, paid attention Cookie's patterns, followed a consistent schedule, and welcomed the cat as a bonus guest to the daily visits :) Fern was responsive, prompt, communicative and accurate in her updates. She has my highest recommendation and I would jump at the chance to have Fern work with our pet family members again. ~Audra”
About: I love all animals and have been a dog lover since birth! I have cared for dogs & cats for 5 years now and received an Associates Degree for Animal Care & Management in 2022. I have fed, bathed, supervised, administered medication, etc. to all ages and sizes of dogs and cats at my workplace. I have 4-5 days available weekly to care for your fur babies! I am willing to do walks, drop ins and occasional boarding at your home. I am unable to host pets in my own home with my own pup but would be happy to do so at yours. I am trustworthy, reliable, responsible and have a special place in my heart for all animals!
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. A few of our dogs even had puppies. One litter started to be born on my bed. When I was in my early 20's I used to pet sit for my co-workers for extra cash. I currently have 4 dogs and 1 cat of my own. I will take care and love your pets as if they were my own because that is how I would like my pets to be taken care of when I am away. I currently work days but I will be delighted to stop in to check on and or walk your pets in the afternoons and evenings. Whatever your request is I am sure I can handle it. If you need cat boxes to be scooped. Or dog poop to be cleaned up while you are away, I will do it no problem. I have no problem giving your pet cuddles while you are away!
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and decided I wanted to work with them. For the past 5 years I’ve worked at a doggy daycare/ boarding facility and wanted to expand my services! I know how to medicate dogs and I’m comfortable working with dog aggressive or people aggressive dogs! I have 2 dogs at home that I play with and do medications so I’m free to stop in whenever needed and I’m even comfortable with dog aggressive dogs as my two are also dog aggressive :) I can come to your house and take your dog on a walk through the neighborhood or if you have woods near by we can take a hike, I can also stop in and check on your pets or even stay with them overnight :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Sanford on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,197 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sanford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Sanford. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Sanford.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sanford. On Rover:
- 98% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
