“Our pup loved his stay. We received lots of photos and updates. As our boy has some bad storm anxiety this put us at ease that he was receiving all the care and attention he would have if we were right there. The fenced in back yard provided lots of room for him to run and play while on his vist. I can not recommend Ellison & Lisa enough.”
“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.”
“Evelin and Joel were great hosts, and took good care of Niki while we were out of town. Their place was well suited for three dogs, and Niki was fine after the initial meet-and-greet. Evelin and Joel kept us up to date with pictures and comments while we were gone. Thanks! Al & Billie”
About: Is your dog giving you the ultimate guilt trip as you grab your keys to leave? You know, the one that says, How dare you leave without me? I get it. I’ve grown up with and cared for dogs my whole life! From German Shepards to Chihuahuas they’re all special in their own way and your pups deserve to be cared for just as well when they’re with me as they are with you! So don’t worry, I’ve got this. While you’re out living your best life and working hard, me and your four-legged family member will be throwing our own little party. Walks, belly rubs, zoomies, you name it. Need support? Send me a message. Your pup and I have plans! I’m currently home full time during the week, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding. My schedule can vary with appointments and commitments, but I’m usually able to make things work, especially when we plan ahead! Safety and trust are very important to me and I want to ensure you feel just as comfortable as your pet does while we hang out together! I’m willing to work with your and your pet’s needs.
“Alex and his family were so kind to watch our hound dog Olive. They sent regular updates and took care of her like she was a part of the family. I felt comfortable knowing that she was being well taken care of when going out of town!”
“Elizabeth took wonderful care of our dog while we were away. She kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and paid close attention to his needs. Our dog has separation anxiety, and Elizabeth was incredibly patient and compassionate. She made sure he got his daily walks, encouraged him to eat when he was struggling, and treated him like one of her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Andrea was great! She sent pictures of Titans stay even though she knew I might not receive them and let me know how he was doing throughout. We will definitely book a stay with her again :)”
“Ernesto is the best! He has watched out 2 dogs before and this time we had an emergency and he was so helpful. Our dogs love visiting him and he shows them great care!”
“Jackie was so amazing!! She sent so many photos of our pups and even brushed them, gave them a bath and sent them home with some treats and bandanas. She was very communicative and flexible when our travel plans changed. We will 100% be booking with her again!!”
“Lindy is amazing! We’ve had many Rovers sitters and she is one of the best. Highly recommend her and she’ll continue to be our first choice. We know our dog is well cared for and she is very communicative.”
“Great sitter! Constantly gave us updates and pictures of our dog. If she had a question regarding food or concern, she reached out and made sure to ask and let us know the situation. Would rebook with her in the future.”
“Ashley was wonderful from start to finish — from our first chat to the meet & greet and throughout Millie’s stay. She’s incredibly responsive, accommodating, and just so easy to work with. The whole experience felt seamless and completely stress-free. During Millie’s stay, Ashley sent regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Millie was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. I trust Ashley with Millie so much that I’ve already booked another stay with her! I’m so grateful we found her and would happily & highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and dependable sitter.”
“Christina did a great job watching our dog! She allowed us to come over to see her place and meet her before we made a decision. While we were away, she stayed in contact with us and sent pictures. Our dog seemed very happy and comfortable at her home.”
“When our original sitter had to unexpectedly cancel, I was so nervous to hire someone to watch our dog for our week long trip, but Ercilia made me feel so comfortable! She did a great job watching our nervous dog, and earned her trust quickly! Ercilia sent updates often- I never had any reason to worry. She was a great caretaker, and I 100% recommend her!!”
“The entire process with Kordula was fantastic from the drop off being made easy to the scheduled pick up. I thank her so much for being able to help us last minute and look forward to having her watch Biscuit many more times. Thanks again!”
“Haley was amazing with our old girls. They both had some quirks and Haley was flexible and took care of them like they were her own. Would definitely have her watch them again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sanford
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!
I would give 10 stars if I could! Taylor was amazing. Very attentive to our small pup that needs all the attention, constant snuggles and very picky eater. She went above and beyond to make sure he was fully comfortable and well feed the whole time. Sent many pictures and kept me updated the whole stay. A little side note, she has a great personality and very sweet, my kiddos absolutely adored her, you can tell in the first 5 mins of meeting her that your pup will be in great hands. Definitely a repeat client.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sanford on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of September 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 .
As of September 2026, there are 893 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 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.
95% 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 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.
