“Wow! So thankful to have found Lindy! I will never board my dog at a kennel ever again! Sunny was welcomed as one of the family. She had a huge yard to run and play in and sun until her heart's content. Everything was very clean and neat. Lindy sent daily updates and pictures. I didn't worry about Sunny for a monment. I knew she was in great hands!”
“Taylor did a great job with our Old English Bully. Our Luna is a high energy unique Bully and Taylor was able to keep up! Taylor has great communication and she is mindful about the dogs needs and behaviors. Luna had a great time and we were able to relax and enjoy our time away.”
“Shannon was wonderful from the very beginning! We couldn’t have asked for a better family to take care of Rocket. She was also very quick to respond and shared pictures throughout the stay. Thank you so much Shannon and Family! We hope to see you again. ?”
“As a first time Rover user, I was nervous to leave my fur baby with a stranger. I ended up messaging a few potential people and Ernesto was quick to respond and even took Andy in VERY short notice. Him and his wife were so kind to me when I met them and also my dog came back very happy and excited. I will definitely reach out to Ernesto next time I need a pet sitter.”
About: I had 2 miniature dachshunds growing up. I have watched my friends 2 German Shepherds for 7years now. My boyfriend owned a German Shepherd and used to foster dogs. We now own an Australian Shepherd. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets attention throughout the day. I’m available for regular walks, playtime, feedings, potty breaks, and cuddles, and I can easily adjust my routine to meet your pet’s needs. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with an on-site dog park and nearby trails leading to Sugg Farm and Bass Lake, perfect for walks and outdoor adventures. I have a friendly, loving, and playful Australian Shepherd, so I understand the importance of exercise, attention, and enrichment. I’ll prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort, follow their usual routines, and make sure they receive plenty of love and care while you’re away!
“Caitlyn was amazing with my boy! He’s a big guy and a little quirky but they she was so amazing with him! We will definitely be booking again with her the next time we are away!”
“Tucker loves staying with Victor! We love receiving photos of Tucker out on walks, playing with other dogs, and getting loved on. And communication is always great.”
“Kaitlyn and her family were very welcoming to Bentley . She sent pictures of Bentley while we were away, it seems he really enjoyed his vacation and backyard play. I will definitely use Kaitlyn in the future.”
“We had an initial meet n greet the week before and they seemed to click with the house! They were kind of chill when I picked them up which was unusual but really cool. I was sent pics of them lounging on the couch, so cute. Thanks to Kristen, Paula, Bentley the moyan and to the cute teeny bopper (sorry I forgot your name hon but I'm old now so please forgive.) I feel like my pups had their best first experience with some lovely pet sitters. Best regards, Diane”
“Annie is great with our 2 older dogs. Daily updates and photos showed us they are being taken care of with love and patience......they settled in nicely and Annie and her husband treat our dogs just as they do their own. We highly recommend Annie!”
“An absolute gem!—super communicative, incredibly gentle and fun with my pets, and so thorough with every little detail! Knowing they were safe, happy, and well-loved while we traveled was pure gold. Came home to waggin’ tails and zero worries! ❤️”
About: I grew up on a family farm in Mamers, NC, where caring for animals has always been second nature. After moving back to the area from college, I now work from home, allowing me to provide attentive, personalized care and a flexible schedule for the pets I watch. Before leaving for college, I pet sat for local families through Facebook and built lasting relationships with many of my clients. For one family in particular, I provided in-home care and became their trusted “dog nanny” for over three years. From daily visits and walks to overnight stays and personalized routines, I understand how important consistency and trust are when caring for someone’s furry family member. I visit my family farm daily to help maintain the property, giving dogs in my care the opportunity for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and plenty of enrichment. Whether your pet enjoys adventures or prefers cuddles and quiet time, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. 🤍🐾🌾 Pet care is seamlessly built into my daily routine. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I also visit my family farm daily, so dogs in my care can enjoy supervised outdoor time and extra exercise. Because I’m home most of the day, pets are rarely left alone and are treated like part of the family, with lots of love, structure, and companionship. Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly condo community with access to a dog park, where I often take my own Doberman for supervised play and exercise. I enjoy starting the day with morning walks and make sure pets have plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, enrichment, and attention throughout the day. I follow each pet’s routine closely and always prioritize their safety, whether that means leashed walks, supervised outdoor time at my family farm, or a cozy, calm environment indoors. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, secure, and right at home while their family is away.
“Our boxer-mix, Bella, just spent two great weeks with Tugce and family. We could see in the photos that Tugce sent that Bella was very comfortable with them. And importantly to us, Bella got along well with their young son. It was clear that the whole family took care of Bella. We are happy to recommend Tugce as a sitter and will use her in the future.”
“Meyling was incredible with my dog. She was very communicative and detail oriented. Her dog was so sweet and got along with mine very well. Meyling gave my dog frequent walks, and was generous with treats and toys and lots of love. She sent many updates and photos to keep me updated. She worked form home and was able to spend lots of time time and attention on my dog. My dog had so much fun, instantly felt at home, and enjoyed the visit. I can not recommend Meyling enough for dogsitting and will be booking with her again whenever we need it.”
“David & Stephanie were wonderful! The daily updates and photos were much appreciated, and my pup came home tired and happy. Will definitely be using them again ❤️”
“It was our first experience with Danielle. She was very professional, very responsive with her communications. She was very caring and loving towards our 4 year old German Shepherd. We felt very confident from the moment we left and till pickup that our pet was in safe hands. We would highly recommend her services to any and all pet owners who are looking for dedicated home care for their furry kids. THANK YOU VERY MUCH DANIELLE!”

Taylor was absolutely amazing! She was so kind, thoughtful, and took such wonderful care of our pup. Her communication was fantastic, and she truly went above and beyond! We had such peace of mind knowing our pup was in great hands. Taylor is seriously the best and we couldn’t recommend her more! 💕
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!
William was great. My husband was completely ill prepared to drop of Duke (I am always the one responsible for this but was out of town already). William didn’t miss a beat and happily provided Duke with all the missing amenities that one should bring 🤦♀️ (bowls, crate, etc). Our dog came back very happy and tired. We also really enjoyed the videos that he sent of Duke! William was easy to communicate with and well prepared for our dog, who is a ball of energy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Sanford is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $53 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 902 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sanford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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, 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 , 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 .
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.
