“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.”
“10 out of 10 recommend. My fur baby seemed to be well taken care of. They would send pics and videos of updates, which I really liked. It honestly looked like she had a mini vacation lol”
“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.”
“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!”
“Ernesto did a great job caring for our Rottweiler. He is 80 lbs and about 9 months old. He has a very knowledgeable and helpful for any questions I had about the stay. This was my first time using Rover and he helped explain the process and booking. Thank you!”
“In short, Lindy is amazing. The care she provided for my furbaby exceeded my expectations. From our thoughtfully planned meet and greet to gathering information regarding his feeding schedules, habits, personality… if your pup needs activity - look no further, Lindy’s Aussies are just what the doctor ordered! Sweet and playful pups. My boy Brut will definitely be back! 10/10 stars!!”
“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!”
“Christina was great! I loved that she did meet and greet before she agreed to take my dog. I got to see her house and meet her dog, Maya. She was very flexible and accommodating. Remi loved it and didn't want to leave! I will use Christina in the future. Highly recommend.”
“I had to find a last minute sitter for my dog and found Ercilia. She was amazing. I felt so comfortable leaving Finn with her. I was gone for about 36 hours and she sent me so many videos and pictures! I was never worried about Finn and I have no doubt I’ll be going back to Ercilia next time I need a sitter.”
“We feel incredibly lucky to have found Ashley & PJ. From the very beginning, they were thoughtful, communicative, and genuinely caring toward Cooper. During uncertain winter road conditions, they were proactive, reassuring, and put safety first without hesitation. Cooper was clearly loved and comfortable, so much so that he came home already hinting at another visit! 😊 It means everything to know your dog is not just looked after, but truly cared for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone kind, dependable, and wonderful with dogs.”
“Maria is wonderful. She was able to take Cleo in with very short notice and took great care of her. She sent me messages and pictures to show that Cleo was very happy staying with her. I highly recommend her and she will be my first choice for dog sitting in the future.”
“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 is by far and away the best dog sitter in Pensacola. She was easy to contact, quick to reply and provided daily pictures of Wilbur. I would highly recommend her and her husband, and their home to anyone needing over night dog sitting.”
“Alison was great! She sent a lot of updates with pictures and Jasper seemed very cozy ☺️ Jasper only stayed one night this time but we will definitely come back again when we need doggy boarding”
“Kaitlyn kept us up to date on our dogs through the visit bringing us peace of mind. We’re very happy with our experience and would be happy to use her again for our future boarding needs.”
“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.”
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.
