“Athena had such a great experience with Ms. Candace. Athena was happy and you were able to see the great boarding she received during her stay. Ms. Candace was able to accept a last-minute request due to a family emergency and on top of that, she was able to assist with an extra day that was needed for Athena to stay. Communication with Ms. Candzce was great and I enjoyed all of the pictures she sent me which made me be feel at ease in knowing I found a great border. I was nervous in the beginning as I have never boarded a pet before. I am extremely happy with how Athena was cared for and how happy Athena was when I picked her up. Thank you so much Ms.Candace for boarding my precious Athena.”
“They took such good care of Mijo while we went on a trip out of town. Got daily videos and updates. Mijo was such a happy doggy with their doggies. I think he has his first crush haha. Thank you again”
“I left my pup for the first time for a week with Sarah. She made me and my pup feel so comfortable! My dog had such a good time with her and her doggies and was immediately comfortable with which was so nice to see! Her updates throughout the day were so nice to see and see was so accommodating! I would definitely recommend her to others and will be booking her for future purposes!”
“Douglania took great care of my Yorkie Bubba. Her home is very suitable for dog boarding. They have an outdoor play area that the dogs can run around in while soaking up some sun. Definitely a great environment for any dog - big or small.”
“Returning Customer Here!!!😊. I would have no one else watch Gracie when I'm away on trips. Lilliana always takes extreme care and ensures your baby is well taken care of. I will continue to use her services because I can feel at ease while I'm away.”
About: I recently moved to the area and am a retired softball coach that owns a private practice working in sport psychology & mental performance. As you can imagine, marketing & finding new clients owning your own business takes time!! While making connections in the area, I thought back to how I made money as a kid… cue pet sitting! At the mere age of 8 I started to hustle by starting my own neighborhood dog washing business, and eventually this bloomed into being the first call any neighbor made when they were going away for vacation. On top of always having a variety of pets in my home (cats, dogs, reptiles, hedgehog, fish, etc.), I've picked up on a lot of the necessary skills needed to keep animals happy & healthy through diet, exercise, play, & affection. Pet sitting is a lot more than filling up their bowl and sitting on the couch watching tv- it's about being a temporary replacement for an animal's loved one while they are away. I currently have a VERY flexible schedule, I work from home so would be available to do any drop ins/boarding as necessary throughout the day. I currently live in a neighborhood with a ton of families that I see walking their pets daily! It allows for a lot of space to walk my home has a secure, fenced in back yard! I personally do have 2 cats in my home that are both good with dogs. I had recently introduced the kitten to my adult cat so have experience with introducing new animals to each other! In your home, I'd be sure to follow all instructions and keep your animal comfortable during your time away.
“This was our first time boarding with Carmin. She was amazing with Bear and Ellie. You can tell she genuinely cares about your fur babies and accommodates all of their needs. She provided updates and photos daily which I really appreciated. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! 😊”
“My puppy absolutely enjoyed her boarding, she cried on her way home when I picked her up. Susan and her kids took great care of my puppy. She sent pictures and updates multiple times daily. I will absolutely be using her again.”
“Caroline was very attentive to my dogs needs and issues. She made sure to always keep me updated with what’s going on & any updates along the way. She went above and beyond in watching my dog this entire week. I would highly recommend Caroline!”
“I can’t recommend her highly enough! She took wonderful care of my baby (my fur-child ❤️) and went way above and beyond what I expected. From day one, she sent me adorable pictures multiple times a day so I never felt out of the loop. She kept me updated. It truly gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My pet came back happy, healthy, and clearly very loved. She’s the best I’ve ever used—hands down. I will 100% be booking her again and recommending her to everyone I know! Thank you so much for being amazing! 🌟🐾”
“She was the best dog sitter. I will most definitely be rebooking her again for my dog. He seems to have enjoyed himself so much along with her other dog and the rock the whole time she contacted me sent me multiple pictures and messages throughout the day about them and that is what stood her out from the other dog sitter, I have worked with in the past. Among all of them. I didn’t feel worried or anything the whole time that he was with her. She treated him as one of her own.”
“Christy was wonderful with my dog. He can be a handful and is very energetic, but he came home happy and even took a nap so I know he got some good playtime in! I will definitely use Christy in the future.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with our 2-year-old dog! We were away on a long vacation, and she kept us updated regularly with messages and pictures, which gave us peace of mind. She was very accommodating to our dog’s needs, and when we returned, our dog was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. You could tell she had been in great hands. I would definitely trust Sarah again and highly recommend her!”
“Amber is a lifesaver, last minute emergency and she was able to take care of my puppy ( Amor ). She really loves Amber, I can tell how she and her family takes care with love dogs .. this was my second time, even that Amber was busy with her family needs, she was able to help me and we made it work, I will give her 10 stars ⭐️”
“Luke was amazing with our 3 year old dachshund Ace! We recieved plenty of photos and videos each day, keeping us updated on his routine while we were away. It was so comforting to know that our sweet boy was in great hands! We will definitely be booking again!!”

About: I have experience caring for cats of different ages and personalities and understand that every cat has their own comfort level and routine. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs, whether that means feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, giving medication, or simply giving them a calm and safe environment. I know how important pets are to their families, and I’ll make sure your cat feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
About: I grew up fostering dogs for 5 years. I was required to walk, feed & care for these dogs until they found a furever home. I’m currently working part time & would love to care for your pups on my time off! Everybody needs a little puppy play time in their lives. I can make your dog feel safe & comfortable with me. I can provide food & water when scheduled & crate your dog is needed.
“Shea was so awesome and such a lifesaver for us for our dog when we went on vacation this summer! I really wanted her to stay home since she's 8 and is more comfortable in her own environment. Shea was exactly who we needed! She was great with our dog and relayed images and check-ins with us regularly which I appreciated. She took the time to schedule in affection every day with our dog which is huge for our boxer mix. Such a nice sitter; she even helped me with some vegetables that were fruiting while we were gone which was so thoughtful! We will definitely be using Shea for all of our future dogsitting needs.”
“Desiree did a great job checking in on my kitties. It was a great relief to know they were being taken care of while I was away. She sent cute pictures and gave me an update during each of her visits. I would definitely book her again.”
“Laurie stepped in for us last minute and was both prompt and efficient. She kept us updated throughout and sent plenty of photos of our pups while we were out of town, which we really appreciated.”
“Michelle is amazing! She is very reliable, responsible, and incredibly kind. She took great care of my cat and gave me peace of mind while I was away. It’s obvious that she truly cares about animals. I would happily trust her with my cat again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. 🐱💕”

“If you are looking for someone to watch your pup, for whatever reason, look no further!!! Liliana is an absolute ANGEL!! Tanner goes to her about 4 times a week and to be honest, when I don’t have to work and he doesn’t have to go to her house, I sometimes feel bad lol because he LOVES going to see her!! Haha once we turn down her street, he is EXCITED!!! And that just warms my heart…can’t put a price tag on relief from knowing my boy is well taken care of and has the time of his life when he’s there!! Book with Liliana!! You won’t be disappointed!!”
“Dougliana was absolutely amazing with my babies. She saved the day with last minute availability and sent me pictures and updates! I would never hesitate to use her again for my babies! She treated them like her own!”
“Laurie and Mark were SPECTACULAR!! They took such great care of my Tanner! They also introduced him to new things such as the pool, and chickens! Haha he had a blast playing with their dogs as well! Couldn’t ask for a better experience! Will definitely book with them again!”
“Linda was wonderful! We so appreciate her calm and gentle way with pups! Winnie can be a little nervous with new people but Linda was a pro. We will definitely return to Linda and Dickens!”
“Carmin was a superb Doggy Day Care host. I can see why she's booked all the time! Aside from the dogs enjoying themselves, she's a great communicator—always prompt in returning messages, and sending lots of photos, as well. We hope to see her again—if she has an open date!”
About: Hi! I’m Victoria, a local Sanford dog sitter and proud dog mom to Leo, my toy schnauzer. I provide a safe, loving home environment where dogs are treated like family—not just pets. No cramped kennels or long hours alone. They’ll have the run of the house, plenty of outdoor time, belly rubs, treats, and all the love they could ask for. A brief Meet & Greet is required prior to sitting for all new clients to assure compatibility. I work remotely, which means your dog will have companionship and supervision throughout the day. Whether they’re here for a weekend getaway or an extended stay, they’ll enjoy plenty of outdoor breaks, playtime, cuddles, and individualized attention. I intentionally keep my boarding numbers low to create a calm, low-stress environment where every dog receives the care they deserve. We have policies in place to make sure dogs, who are escape artists, aren’t able to make a run for it, we space feeding time and walking time as research has shown eating prior to a walk and immediately after can cause bloating and other complications. It’s my mission your dog is safe at all times so you can worry less when your dog is not with you.
“Wow!! Thank you Jennifer for caring for my Hani and Molly. They look happy!!! Thank you for the pictures and the communication. Your care made me very comfortable. We will be back for sure!!!”
“Looks like my Daisy Mae is very happy! When I picked her up she looked really relaxed and wagging her tail, but she was barking and I think she was telling me why does she need to go home now! Lol she met new friends and that’s exciting and was well behaved. I brought her for day care before her week long stay and I see she is going to be fine. Alexander was amazing with her, sent pictures, and provided details on her day. He is professional and friendly. It is much appreciated.”
“Emillie is a dream pet sitter! This was my 5 month old Golden's first time being away from me. I had more anxiety than him, but Emillie put my mind at ease from the initial meeting through the day, and at pick up! Of everyone communicated as well as Emillie, this world would be a better and less confused place. Emillie kept me updated about every half hour with how Prince was doing, and I got wonderful photos too, which made me laugh and relax at the same time. At pick up, my boy was happy to see me but totally comfortable with Emillie snuggling him goodbye and he just laid down on the driveway, relaxed, tired, and happy while we talked about our next drop off. Emillie's two Goldens are beautiful and very healthy and happy. Her house is clean and well set up for dogs. I couldn't be happier and neither could Prince. I'm thrilled to have a go-to that's close by when my daughter has away games or whenever I need to be gone for longer periods of time and can't take my puppy.”

“Kristina IS AMAZING! Stop looking and book her. Her house is very clean, her yard is big, and she is super sweet with my baby Tank. She sends pics throughout the day and contacts me immediately if she has any concerns. I love taking Tank to her and he loves to play with her beautiful dog Lucy. THANK YOU KRISTINA for being so amazing!”
“What can I say about Kim? She was accommodating of my last minute request for doggie daycare for a couple hours. Very responsive and quick about replying back. There's a certain ease and comfort for me and my dog, Emma when you get to know Kim. Rest assured that your beloved fur-member will find fulfillment (mentally and physically) when you book with her. We ♥️ you, Kim. Glad we finally found you.”
“Thank you for everything you did and your help for us out of town out of state! Max had a great time and if and when we come back down I’ll reach out again, very welcoming and knowledgeable with the area and flexible with our unexpected issues (losing a phone) she is someone you can trust with your care! Love love the card and pictures ❤️”

About: For over a decade, I have taken care of all kinds of dogs from varying backgrounds with the utmost care and love. I have experience following medication routines, dietary specifications, and facilitating engaging activities for your pups’ comfort. I have two of my own fur babies that are my whole life, but they have their unique quirks; I understand how important your favorite family member is, and how necessary it is to have someone capable of adapting to their needs! Currently I’m taking time away from work to take care of family. I have a very open schedule and can stay nights if need be! I’ve seen time and again that it is best to care for dogs where they are most comfortable: in their own home! My goal is keeping your pup on their set routine so they don’t feel any discomfort while their family is temporarily away.
About: We are a pet-loving household with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent attention and companionship throughout the day—something I currently do with my disabled dachshund, who is a big part of my daily routine. I was raised around dogs, and over time, I’ve grown to truly love and appreciate cats as well. My fiancé shares that same passion for animals—she can’t pass a dog without asking to say hello! She previously worked at a humane society, where she trained volunteers on how to safely and positively interact with animals, ensuring a rewarding experience for both pets and people. Between the two of us, we bring a balance of professional experience and genuine love for animals. We’re happy to care for your pets together or individually, depending on scheduling needs, and will always treat them like part of our family. We work remotely from home and have a flexible schedule. We are happy to work with your schedule to make sure that your pet receives the care they need throughout the day. We are happy to work with you to develop a plan to care for your pet to minimize the stress for both them and you. We will also be very diligent in providing you communication and updates as you request.

“Elly was absolutely amazing with my 2 dogs. Great communication and my dogs loved her. She helped me out immensely with a barking issue I was having with one of them (just moved to a new place and 1 of the 2 was having some separation anxiety at night). She knew just what to do! I would definitely have hire her again in a heartbeat!”
About: What sets me apart is my ability to confidently care for a wide range of pets with different needs and personalities. I have experience working with both large and small dog breeds, as well as cats, so I’m comfortable adapting my approach depending on the animal. I’ve also handled pets of all ages—from energetic puppies and kittens to senior animals who may need extra patience and gentle care. In addition, I have experience working with aggressive or more challenging animals, which has taught me how to read body language, stay calm under pressure, and build trust safely. My focus is always on creating a secure, stress-free environment for pets while ensuring they feel comfortable and well cared for in my presence. I’m a full-time student who also works part-time, which means I stay organized and manage my time well. I have flexible availability throughout the day and love spending time with pups whenever I can. I’m happy to provide attentive, reliable care whenever your dog needs it! I understand that every animal has unique needs, personalities, and comfort levels. I take the time to get to know each pet so I can care for them in a way that suits them best. I’m patient and attentive, making sure they feel safe, understood, and well cared for at all times. On walks, I stay alert and focused to ensure your pup is safe, comfortable, and enjoying their time.

I’m also dependable, communicative, and willing to follow any special routines or instructions to keep your pet happy. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My daughter attends daycare during the day, which gives me plenty of time to focus on caring for pets, including walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, and keeping them comfortable and happy throughout the day. I always make sure pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any special instructions provided by the owner.

About: Growing up on a farm gave me lots of experience with animals. I love caring for pets and looking forward to caring for yours! Since I work from home, I make my own schedule and am very flexible. You can rest assured that your pet will be properly cared for and loved. I am currently working from home. So I’m very flexible with dates. I can look after/walk your pet Monday through Saturday any time of the day. At this time I am only doing drop ins and dog walking. But I will be doing day care, night care, and house sitting soon.
About: While I may not have years of experience like some, my love for animals does not fall short. I have taken care of dogs, big and small. Some with dietary restrictions and rigid feeding routines and others with a more lax regimen. I have house sat/pet sat and stayed in the owner’s home on multiple occasions. I’ve taken care of four dogs of various sizes at once, done drop-ins to feed/change water and let the puppers out for friends and family members, and I’ve also stopped by to do something as simple as a quick walk. Whatever you need, I can do it! I can assure you that I will treat your pet as my own. I currently work full time at a law firm in downtown but I live in Sanford. I have a reliable car and I don’t mind driving. I can pet sit/house sit on weekdays but I have work so it would be morning care and evening/night. I can also take a midday break if needed. I am off on the weekends so I will be able to be there full time. Depending on the owner, I have put pets into their crates when leaving the house or at night for sleeping but I have also let them roam freely, if the owner allows it.

“Athena had such a great experience with Ms. Candace. Athena was happy and you were able to see the great boarding she received during her stay. Ms. Candace was able to accept a last-minute request due to a family emergency and on top of that, she was able to assist with an extra day that was needed for Athena to stay. Communication with Ms. Candzce was great and I enjoyed all of the pictures she sent me which made me be feel at ease in knowing I found a great border. I was nervous in the beginning as I have never boarded a pet before. I am extremely happy with how Athena was cared for and how happy Athena was when I picked her up. Thank you so much Ms.Candace for boarding my precious Athena.”

About: I recently moved to the area and am a retired softball coach that owns a private practice working in sport psychology & mental performance. As you can imagine, marketing & finding new clients owning your own business takes time!! While making connections in the area, I thought back to how I made money as a kid… cue pet sitting! At the mere age of 8 I started to hustle by starting my own neighborhood dog washing business, and eventually this bloomed into being the first call any neighbor made when they were going away for vacation. On top of always having a variety of pets in my home (cats, dogs, reptiles, hedgehog, fish, etc.), I've picked up on a lot of the necessary skills needed to keep animals happy & healthy through diet, exercise, play, & affection. Pet sitting is a lot more than filling up their bowl and sitting on the couch watching tv- it's about being a temporary replacement for an animal's loved one while they are away. I currently have a VERY flexible schedule, I work from home so would be available to do any drop ins/boarding as necessary throughout the day. I currently live in a neighborhood with a ton of families that I see walking their pets daily! It allows for a lot of space to walk my home has a secure, fenced in back yard! I personally do have 2 cats in my home that are both good with dogs. I had recently introduced the kitten to my adult cat so have experience with introducing new animals to each other! In your home, I'd be sure to follow all instructions and keep your animal comfortable during your time away.
“This was our first time boarding with Carmin. She was amazing with Bear and Ellie. You can tell she genuinely cares about your fur babies and accommodates all of their needs. She provided updates and photos daily which I really appreciated. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! 😊”
“My puppy absolutely enjoyed her boarding, she cried on her way home when I picked her up. Susan and her kids took great care of my puppy. She sent pictures and updates multiple times daily. I will absolutely be using her again.”
“I can’t recommend her highly enough! She took wonderful care of my baby (my fur-child ❤️) and went way above and beyond what I expected. From day one, she sent me adorable pictures multiple times a day so I never felt out of the loop. She kept me updated. It truly gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My pet came back happy, healthy, and clearly very loved. She’s the best I’ve ever used—hands down. I will 100% be booking her again and recommending her to everyone I know! Thank you so much for being amazing! 🌟🐾”
“She was the best dog sitter. I will most definitely be rebooking her again for my dog. He seems to have enjoyed himself so much along with her other dog and the rock the whole time she contacted me sent me multiple pictures and messages throughout the day about them and that is what stood her out from the other dog sitter, I have worked with in the past. Among all of them. I didn’t feel worried or anything the whole time that he was with her. She treated him as one of her own.”
“Christy was wonderful with my dog. He can be a handful and is very energetic, but he came home happy and even took a nap so I know he got some good playtime in! I will definitely use Christy in the future.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with our 2-year-old dog! We were away on a long vacation, and she kept us updated regularly with messages and pictures, which gave us peace of mind. She was very accommodating to our dog’s needs, and when we returned, our dog was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. You could tell she had been in great hands. I would definitely trust Sarah again and highly recommend her!”
“Luke was amazing with our 3 year old dachshund Ace! We recieved plenty of photos and videos each day, keeping us updated on his routine while we were away. It was so comforting to know that our sweet boy was in great hands! We will definitely be booking again!!”
“Sam was absolutely amazing with our baby. This was our first time leaving our dog with a dog sitter that we didn’t intimately now and it was the best thing ever Sam is the absolute sweetest, most genuine caregiver I have ever met. The updates, the pictures, she answered my questions any time I had them about the dog. She was really amazing and it made her trip that much better because we knew our dog was being cared for.”
“Kim was an absolute pleasure to have as our dogsitter. We had some outstanding circumstances that she was able to work with us on and made the entire process smooth and convenient. Our two boys looked great and in high spirits when we got home. Her home is extremely welcoming and dog-friendly, and her backyard is a doggie heaven. We could not sing her praises any more than we are now. If you are looking for someone to take great care of your fur babies while you are away, you can rest assured Kim will be a great host. Will undoubtably be using her services again! 5/5 stars!”
“Diamond was absolutely amazing! She was super responsive and so accommodating. She went out of her way to make things easier for us as we traveled in. I absolutely would recommend her to anyone and book her anytime we are in town. I can’t thank her enough!”
“Linda is so knowledgeable about dogs in general but also keeps you well informed about your pets wellbeing! This was our first time using her or blurring them at all and I can tell you they had a ball, which comforted us greatly. She’s a gem I would highly recommend her!”
