“Although this is the first Taylor’s sitting Kiki, I can tell Kiki was happy and comfortable at Taylor’s house and played along with Taylor’s dog, a golden retriever. Taylor’s daily photo and sms update of Kiki’s activities gave my wife and me a peace of mind. We are happy and thankful for Taylor’s care of Kiki. We will definitely ask Taylor for help again when needed.”
“Andrea was awesome with my dogs. She was very patient and loving and took very good care of my furbabies. I am definitely going to be using her again for sure. I will be recommending her to my friends and family. Thanks Andrea for your awesome service :-)”
“Alex was amazing with Miller and Moose! They came back super tired and well taken care of. Alex and his family sent great updates of them and I can tell they were treated as a member of their family :) Will continue to use Alex when he and his family are available!”
“She is awesome! When our trip got extended by delayed planes home, she was more than accommodating with us. We had near daily photo updates of our doggy, and she was very communicative and informative and flexible. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a doggy babysitter!”
“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.”
“It’s been such a great experience being able to have Rock looked after while I’ve been away. It’s been so hard for me because we’ve not been away from each other for this long but Ernesto reassured me with pictures and comforting words that helped more than he knows. Rock is 89+ lbs and a Rottweiler so leaving him with just any one wasn’t an option for me but when we meet I could tell not only was he a trainer but he loves what he does. He was informative, making sure he answered all of my questions and or addressed all of my concerns. Rock will be back in the near future I'm sure!”
“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!”
“Sarah took wonderful care of my dog and was a delightful person to work with. She is flexible in case something comes up like a delayed flight or last minute changes in plans. She sent me pictures and texts letting me know my labradoodle was healthy and happy. I felt comfortable leaving my pet in her care and highly recommend her boarding services. Thank you Sarah!”
“We absolutely love and appreciate Ercillia!!! We have 3 senior dogs that love a "quiet environment" and having someone with them when we go on vacation is priceless knowing we can relax and not stress we don't worry when they are with Ercillia she is so good to them highly recommend her!!!”
“Christina did a great job looking after our dog, even when our dog had an upset stomach. Christina is experienced and cares a lot for her guest pets and we’d gladly book again.”
“I recently moved to NC and needed to find boarding for my dachshund, and I’m so grateful I found Ashley! From our very first conversation through the meet-and-greet and then the big event — his two-night stay — she truly went above and beyond. I felt completely at ease leaving Barkley with her. Her genuine love and care for animals is apparent, and she treated him like one of her own. She sent regular updates and photos, which made being away from him so much easier. I will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate care for their pup!”
“Maria was amazing!! This was my first time using her so the fact that she allowed me to do a meet and greet ahead of the scheduled stay so my fur baby could warm up to her, really put my mind at ease. I appreciated the daily updates. I could tell by the pictures that Milo felt loved and right at home😊 Would definitely use her services again!!”
“They were just wonderful! I got updates and pictures daily. She had a great time and we were able to enjoy our trip fully knowing she was in trusted hands!”
“Stephanie was great with our dogs. She sent picture updates and made us feel comfortable about leaving our dogs over the holiday weekend. We will definitely use her again!”
“Jessica was great in accommodating drop off and pick up times when it suited me best.. My much loved pup immediately felt Jessica’s great energy, and in no time at all was happily wiggling his tail in approval of the new friend he found. through my the stay, Jessica was always reachable, and I was kept updated on Beamer’s mini holiday :)..will surely book Beamer,s next stay with Jessica.”
“Alison is such a dog lover and so kind. She has cared for our dogs twice and each time they have been treated like family! We highly recommend Alison and will definitely book with her again!”
“Caitlin and her family took care of our 4 month old puppy when we had to be out of town for a few days and thought a 6 hr. car ride was too much. We had concerns about boarding our little guy, but he did fine, received lots of good care, attention, and fun play times. Also, we really liked that we were the only boarders and our puppy didn't have to deal with a bunch of older, bigger dogs. We have recommended Caitlin to our friends and wouldn't hesitate to use Caitlin's services again.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Sanford is $45

Ernesto was a great person for the doggos! Super responsive and was willing to take the dogs on a few hours notice. Set up a meet and great before the hand over and the dogs were immediately comfortable to the point they wanted to get in his car and not ours. Jovi and bear came home happy and honestly more calm. 10/10 recommend

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.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Sanford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sanford on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 900 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.
