About: For 2 years now, I have worked at an amazing animal hospital as a Kennel Tech! I have a lot of experience with pet care as well as administering medications to them. Growing up I have had many different pets as well like bunnies, birds, hamsters, etc. I’m currently working part time at an animal hospital, I usually try to get as many hours as I can, but I still have free time to do other things like care for your pet! My typical work schedule: Monday- not available Tuesday- not available Wednesday- available Thursday- available Fri, sat, sun- I work rotating weekends, refer to my calendar for my weekends! I walk dogs almost everyday where I work. Big and small, I can handle a 140lbs Great Dane pulling, jumping, and tugging. I deal with all kinds of doggies on a daily basis. Big, small, nice, aggressive, playful, fearful, etc.

About: I’ve cared for pets for friends, family, and neighbors for years, including high-energy dogs, shy rescues, and senior animals needing extra TLC. I’m patient, dependable, and happy to adapt to your pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether your pup loves cuddles, long walks, or just needs some TLC, I’ll treat them like family. Since I work from home and do school online, I have plenty of time to give your pup lots of love, care, walks, and attention I have a secure fenced yard and 5 friendly dogs of my own, so if your pup enjoys socializing, they’ll have playmates. If not, I can easily keep them separate and make sure they’re comfortable
“Hillary is the absolute best person I've ever used to walk lucy. She's responsible, funny and super caring. Definetly felt like I was texting with a friend the whole time she helped out. She communicates very well and everything she does is out of her heart for the love of the animal. I will definetly be using her again and you should too!. Lucy misses her already I'm sure.”
“I can't recommend Jessica enough! From the beginning, she showed genuine care and professionalism by asking all the right questions to really understand my dog's needs, routine, and personality. It gave me a lot of peace of mind. My dog absolutely loves her and gets so excited every time she comes over. It's clear she truly cares about the animals she works with. Reliable and great with communication—she’s the best!”

About: I've always been a part of a dog and cat family. From the overly excited puppy to the scared-of-everything cat to the adventurous elderly fur baby, I am excited to meet your very own fur baby and learn what makes them special. My own pets have a few needs of their own. I’ve trained my own dogs when they were puppies, administered meds (orally and with food mixing) and have sat for senior dogs. For Sanford pets, I am able to travel for potty breaks in the later afternoons on weekdays. Regarding overnight visits, I am able to accommodate late night and early morning visits. I'm ready to treat your fur babies to a special staycation while you vacation! My yard is partially fenced, and I have a houseful of my own so I am unable to board pet clients due to a sensitive older cat. Not all paws are on board, unfortunately. For any service, including drop in visits, I require meet and greets prior to the actual service. To best accommodate first time requests, let’s plan to meet within a week of the first visit. What’s one of your favorite memories with your pet? Does your dog have a best bud they like to run around with?
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 9, helping bare dogs and cats, walking them, and feeding them. I’ve assisted my aunts at a vet hospital as well. I’m currently unemployed and have so much time. I love playing with cats and dogs and showing them love and affection. I can bathe them if needed also! I will feed and water them at your scheduled times. Will take them out when needed. I can also bathe any of your animals if requested.
About: Every time I meet a new dog, I love testing their skills. Communication is key in any relationship, and that's no different with dogs or cats. I take particular pleasure in getting a nervous cat or pup to warm up and be comfortable with their surroundings and other animals. I have a very active dog myself, so I'm comfortable with other large, high energy dogs! I also certainly don't mind taking a break with a dog or cat who has less physical demands, lol I have spent quite a bit of time around various types of dogs and cats. I follow the pace they set for interactions so they feel comfortable with my presence. If they need time to warm up, I'm happy to show them I'm safe. If they're rowdy and ready to play, I'll bring a toy for them to grab onto immediately.
About: Hi! I'm an experienced and reliable pet sitter who truly understands how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. For several years, I’ve house and pet-sat for friends and family, caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Whether it's a high-energy pup who loves long walks or a senior cat who just needs some gentle company, I’m happy to tailor care to each pet’s individual needs. As a dog and cat owner myself, I know how much peace of mind it brings to know your pets are in good hands. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, attention, and lots of love. I’d be honored to help keep your pets happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away! As a remote worker, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I'm happy to accommodate specific feeding, walking, or medication times as needed. While I do appreciate advance notice for bookings, I can also be available for last-minute requests when my schedule allows. Your pet’s needs will always be a priority! I tailor my care to fit each pet’s unique needs and personality—because no two pets are the same! Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’m happy to follow routines, administer medications, support special diets, and provide enrichment through play, walks, or calm companionship—whatever they need to feel safe and happy. I have a big soft spot for both cats and dogs, and I always aim to make them feel loved, secure, and cared for while you're away. I treat every pet like family and communicate clearly so you feel confident and at ease.
About: My experience has been shaped around my pets. I have had 7 dogs and 2 cats. I love pets of all kinds and want to be the best friend for your pet! Being a stay at home mom has allowed me to not only care for my pets but enjoy endless fun days as a family. Being able to provide for them when they’re sick really makes staying at home worth while. Building trust with a fur baby is very important to me. I wish to treat them like they are my own so I will approach them with love and tenderness to ensure the maximum level of care is given.
About: I have had many family dogs throughout my life. I live in NC and pet sit for neighbors around the community. When family goes out of town, they always call me for pet sitting. i’m a full-time leasing agent for an apartment complex, I have flexibility with my schedule and willing to work with you on scheduling the services. I make sure to follow the schedule that the owner has for their pets regarding feeding, crating, play time, etc. Adding additional requests from the parent. With my own pet, I make sure to keep an eye on her when she is roaming around to make sure she doesn’t get into something that could be harmful.

About: I have experience taking care of pets while families are on vacation. I was responsible for feeding walking and making sure the pets needs were meet! I love dogs and I always want to be around them. I am in school and work a part-time job, but I have time to watch dogs on the days. I do not have school work. When pets are in a client’s home, I enter the house let them outside to use the bathroom and get some energy out, then feed them if needed. After they eat, I will let them go use the bathroom again and be sure to take many pictures!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Sanford. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Sanford.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sanford. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
