“Elizabeth was so sweet and attentive with Magnum! He had an amazing time at her house, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Taylor has done an excellent job on sitting our Kiki. She kept us updated with Kiki's daily activities with photos. Although there is a huge size difference between Kiki (11 lbs) and Taylor's dog, Sadie, a regular size golden retriever, they two get along and play together very well. From the shared pictures we can tell Kiki felt comfy and looked happy whether she was inside of Taylor's house or outside at the yard, which gave us peace of mind so we can truly enjoy our trip. We are thankful to Taylor's effort and will ask Taylor for help again for our future trips.”
“Great sitter, sent frequent updates, bathed our dog when she got muddy without us needing to ask. Highly professional and friendly. We will definitely utilize his services again”
“Kyra is always SO happy when she gets to Alex’s house and has an absolute blast the whole time she is there. Alex is great about sharing videos and pictures with me while I am gone for my own piece of mind. The biggest thing for me is she is always super happy to see him when we arrive for drop off which says so much about how she is treated. I never feel bad driving away because I know she is in such good hands and happy.”
“Dropped Bentley off dog was able to settle in within a few hours and seemed to be comfortable in his surroundings via the pictures sent to us letting us know how he was doing. They even gave him a bath prior to pick up. They were very friendly and will be using them again.”
“Lindsey and Timothy were excellent with my bulldog. My dog had so much fun with their family. I was always updated and given photos and videos throughout his stay. I was quickly responded to with any questions or concerns. I definitely will be using them again and I know that my dog will be excited to see them again.”
“Lindy is fantastic! She was very welcoming to Zoey and me when first meeting. Additionally, she was very communicative and accommodating when I ran into travel issues on my return home. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“This was the first time our pup had stayed away from us and I was nervos but Maria kept me updated and sent multiple pictures throughout the day. She took great care of him and we will be using her from this point forward! :)”
“Jamin was able to take my babies on super short notice! Everything was wonderful and we were given updates on them throughout the weekend. She was super friendly and responded quickly to messages. Will definitely use Jamin again in the future!”
“Christina was wonderful! She was easy to communicate with and flexible with my schedule needs. I felt totally comfortable leaving my fur babies with her. I’d definitely use her again.”
“I needed a boarding for a couple of nights for my dog, Kinako, at the very last minute. Jessica and her family were very accommodating to my request. When we had a meet in the evening before, I had a faith and I knew they are the ones! Kinako immediately made herself comfortable at their home. Their dog is sweet and friendly. They made friends with each other right away. While I was away, it was great to see the update picture, and I felt at ease. When I picked Kinako up, I could tell that she had a wonderful time at their lovely home. Thank you so much for everything you have done for us. Kinako and I are looking forward to the next opportunities.”
“Jordan is incredibly trustworthy and a great communicator. He was very thorough in asking all the necessary questions to care for my dog, introducing his dogs to mine and ensuring my dog was comfortable with them, and getting my dog situated in his home. He gave me plenty of updates and I felt at ease the whole time knowing my dog was well cared for! Would definitely reccomend to anyone!”

“Tim and Jen and their sweet family were amazing to my fur baby. He loved all the special attention from the kiddos and received countless pets and snuggles. I returned home to a very happy (and tired lol) boy! Definitely will be booking again and recommend this sweet family!”
“Susie had so much fun! She enjoyed the walks and time outside plus all the hugs and kisses. Wonderful communication, pictures and they took great care of her.”
“Christina & Christopher cared for my dog for 3 weeks, the longest I have ever left her, and I felt very comfortable. They kept in good communication with comments and pictures and I especially appreciated that they were honest when I had any concerns. I would definitely recommend them!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sanford
Taylor was wonderful with my two pups! We met her in advance of their stay, and she was warm and friendly from our initial meeting. She asked lots of questions and took the time to get to know our pups and their needs. During their stay, I received regular pictures and updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for. Taylor followed all of their care instructions, including their medication schedule, and clearly treated them like her own. I would absolutely love to use Taylor again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy home for their pups while they’re away!
Elizabeth is absolutely fantastic! Our border collie gets so excited every time we go to her house, which says it all. She sends pictures consistently throughout the day, keeps us updated, and takes such great care of him. She is reliable, attentive, and truly the ideal Rover sitter. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 NC 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.
