“Our fur babies had a wonderful time with Maria and her family. We received countless pictures and messages throughout our 10 day trip that illustrated how happy and loved our dogs were. Maria even gave them baths just before we returned! We highly recommend Maria and will use her again.”
“Cookie had a great time with Edward! He took her on some really long walks (which she loves) and stayed up with her through a thunderstorm (she hates those). We really appreciate his attentiveness and wouldn't hesitate to leave Cookie with him again!”
“Will definitely leave my dog with her anytime I need to go on a trip. She sent photos and messages updating me when ever I asked. If you ever worry about your dog when you’re gone you won’t after using her for the first time I promise. Can’t express enough how well it went.”
“Our dogs had so much fun with Heather! She really made them feel like family and they were extremely well cared for. I would definitely use her again and recommend to a friend.”
“Or dog was well taken care of. She was very happy staying with Michelle. We're so glad we found someone to take care of our fur baby. We will for sure contact her again to watch our dog”
About: Hi, I’m Kassidy! I’m a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom of two with a love for animals! I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members while you’re away. I’ve had my own small dog for nearly 11 years, so I understand the love, attention and responsibility that come with caring for a pet. I also have experience caring for friends’ and family members’ dogs while they’re out of town, including providing daily care, administering medications and making sure their pets feel comfortable and loved. I’ve always loved having dogs in my life, and getting to know their different personalities is one of my favorite parts of caring for them! My goal is to provide a loving, comfortable environment where your dog feels like part of our family! Your dog will spend their days alongside us, enjoying plenty of companionship, attention, playtime and relaxation. Whether your pup loves going for walks, playing or simply curling up on the couch, I’ll do my best to make them feel right at home. As a homeschooling mom, I spend much of my time at home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. My goal is to keep their routine as familiar as possible so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. My two children will be present during your dog’s stay. They’ve grown up around dogs their entire lives and have been taught how to interact with animals gently and respectfully. They will be supervised at all times and not left alone with your pet. Our home is equipped with a fenced in yard and safety gates that allow me to separate spaces when needed for everyone’s comfort and safety. Otherwise, your dog will be right alongside us, enjoying our everyday family activities! I understand that every dog has its own personality, routine and needs. I’m happy to discuss any medications, special accommodations or preferences beforehand to make sure your pup feels comfortable. I’m also happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand to make sure your dog is a great fit for our family and home! I’ll provide photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is being loved and cared for!
“We had our two small dogs stay with Sarah for a little over a week. She was amazing! Her communication and kindness were great and our dogs had an amazing stay! We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy person to watch your pets!”
“Cher is an angel and truly a blessing. She helped me out last second when I had to go into the hospital and suddenly had nowhere to put my baby for 4 days and I will never forget what she did for me. I know my dog had to have been terrible with her separation anxiety from me but Cher kept me updated and didn't even complain about some of Icey’s less positive aspects. Do not even consider booking anyone else in the area if Cher is available. Thats all I am going to say.”
“A really fantastic dog sitter. So flexible and accommodating. She gave some great updates of our pup and took some of the best pictures of him. We could tell he had a really good time as he slept the whole ride home. This is our second time utilizing Nikki and we are very happy we did.”
“Just a perfect experience. It can be tough to hand over care of your pets for any amount of time, but they made the whole situation comfort with kindness, professionalism, and adept dog handling and care. Additionally, consistent updates were provided with photos which made the experience fun rather than stressful. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be returning in the future.”

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Sanford can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sanford. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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 MI 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
