“Natasha is a great sitter. She took great care of our cats when we were out of town for the holidays. We were nervous about using a new sitter but Natasha was willing to first have a virtual meet and greet and then stopped by to meet the cats and get aquatinted with our home. She was a great communicator. She made sure the cats were fed, to played with them and scooped their litter boxes. She also took care of of details like wiping cat eye goop and leaving the place very tidy. Natasha is a great sitter.”

About: With years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I offer calm, confident, and loving care—just like you would. Whether your pup is shy, spunky, or senior, I’m comfortable handling it all—including administering medications and special care routines. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priority! I am currently working part time job Wed- Friday during the day (7a-6p) but my partner also has great experience with dogs. If you are comfortable with him caring for your baby during that time, he would love to meet your them! I spoil all animals in my path. With loads of one on one attention, I try to give each dog or cat the love they desire.
About: My name is Ashley. I currently work in healthcare and looking to make some extra money. I always had dogs growing up from extra small to extra large dog. I am a cat mom of 2! I also have experience with farm animals! I currently work full time in healthcare in Pittsboro NC. During the week I am unavailable unless it’s walking your pet after work. I get off around 5pm! I am free Friday afternoons and most weekends. I will treat your baby just like it’s my own pet. I love to get to know each pet and their personalities! I do not offer visits at my home due to restrictions.
About: I've been around animals most of my life, and I love all types, shapes, and sizes. I am a nurse and deal with a lot of people and stress, so animals are like my escape. Anywhere I go I'm looking for new furry friends. I have three babies of my own, two dogs and a cat, all rescues. I've helped look after furry family members for my friends and family, so why not branch out and help more in the community and spread the love, boops, and smooches. I work nights, 3-4 12hr shifts per week. House sitting would be difficult on work days but I'd still be available for walks and/or drop ins on days between shifts. On off days my schedule is usually pretty open aside from some housework or occasional errand. I have a large fenced yard for my girls to run and play in. My cat is indoor only so I am always watchful entering and exiting the house so no furbabies on the loose on my watch. For walks even well trained dogs I will walk with a leash, for safety reasons. If you have a fenced yard I'll likely be outside with them when they are out, to play and keep an eye on things.
About: I've taken care of family pets since I was old enough to help out! I've taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, fancy rats, fish... Pretty much any type of animal! I do walks, overnight sitting, and check-ins. My family and friends can attest to my experience and talent in caring for all creatures, big and small. I'm currently searching for a full-time job, but as of now my schedule is completely open! I can do weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I maintain a friendly and open relationship with pets, meeting them where they're at rather than forcing them to come to me. I will always maintain any recommendations or schedules given to me to ensure that I give your pets the best care possible. I will also always obey house rules and ensure that me and your fur baby leave your home just as it was when you left!
About: As long as I can remember I have had a love for animals and especially dogs! I grew up always having a dog by my side. I have had my personal pet for a year now, and she has made it the best year of my life. She has been taught basic skills and some tricks. Soon she will be starting agility, tracking, scentwork, and possibly rally obedience. Seeing as she is a Labrador, I’ve had plenty of experience administering ear medication. I am also qualified to give oral medication. I will be getting First Aid Certified very soon. Rarely does a day go by where my dog doesn’t get the exercise she needs both physically and mentally. Whenever I watch someone else’s little loves, I treat them as if they are mine. I want the owner to have a safe and enjoyable time away from his/her pet without having to worry at all. Our pets are not with us nearly long enough, so I strive to give them the best lives while they are walking beside us! I currently work part-time with the weekends off. Along with that, I have college, but a lot of it is online. I’m never busy for more than 5 hours, so if need be during the week, I will be able to take the dog(s) out at least once every 5 hours. During the weekend, it is at least once every 2-4 hours. I am done with everything by 5 PM during the week. When it comes to schedules I am very flexible. At the time I cannot provide home services, but I can take your dog on a walk! When the weather is nice, I take my dog to the dog park, San Lee, or a nearby ball park for physical exercise. I would love to do so with your dog(s) if you feel comfortable enough to let me do so! If you would like your dog to have a play date, my Labrador, Jetta, is always down for a good time!
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 12! I’m currently a Kennel Attendant working with lots of animals and taking care of them! I love any animals and treat them with love, care, and respect at all times. I can also administer medication. I am 18! Im currently working as a part time Kennel attendant for dogs! I have dogs at home, and I love caring for them and loving on them! Caring for animals in my clients home will come with lots of love, rule and routine following, let outs, feeding times, respect and care of animals and the home!
About: I have had many cats and dogs growing up. I am 27 and have been around animals most of my life. Each dog has their own personality just like people, and I love getting to know them. I house and pet sit full time, so as long as i havent taken a client, i wil be available for you. Let me know what you need and we can work something out! I stay with family and currently dont have any pets. I have a large yard, and plenty of free space to roam inside the home. I live in a friendly neighborhood with plenty of walking distance. Doors will be kept shut at all times to avoid your pet escaping and getting into any trouble. If I am house/pet sitting in your home, all rules, regulations, and procedures will be adhered to at 100% accuracy.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sanford
Kali has come twice now in the last month. I am incredibly grateful we have finally found a sitter like her again! Kali is kind, punctual (we have a diabetic cat that needs to be cared for in specific time increments), communicative, and we can tell our cats and home have been taken care of when we get home. She has even managed to get our shy cat to come out while she is there. I am relieved to know we have finally found someone we can trust!
Cassie was wonderful!! She did such a great job sending pics during check ins and letting us know how our boys were doing. She also did a phenomenal job of keeping the litter boxes and surrounding areas clean. All around she was awesome, one of the best, most communicative sitters we’ve ever had. I highly recommend her and we will definitely be using her again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Sanford on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,349 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sanford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sanford stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sanford. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
