Top rated Candelmen house sitters
“Elliot was amazing! Second time using her and she was very communicative during the whole trip! Due to Milton our plans were somewhat changed and Eliot was flexible and was able to accommodate our animals so they wouldn’t be alone too long!”
“Brigit stayed with my cat, Minnie Muusah, for one night this week and everything seemed to go very well. Minnie is not exactly a social cat. She was traumatized as a kitten and although she has bonded with me, she is not too keen on having anyone else pet her. Brigit was not put off by this and was flexible when I had to make a small change to my travel plans. I'll invite her back the next time I need to leave town. I recommend Brigit for other pet-sitting positions.”
“Skyler was a great pet sitter and house guest! She watched my two cats for a week. She shared a lot of updates and pictures the whole time. My cats were very happy and unbothered when I came home. I’ll definitely use Skyler again for future trips!”
“Max is one of the best sitters we’ve had! Communication with max was quick and easy. He sent me updates on how my dogs were doing and when he arrived. Max was gentle and understanding with my barky and insecure pit bull. Aldo really warmed up to him quickly and felt comfortable with him. Will definitey rebook Max in the future.”
“Finding a new dog sitter is HARD. It is always nerve wracking leaving your babies and your house in someone else’s hands. No need to worry with Brooke. She’s awesome. My dogs loved her and she followed all of the instructions that we asked of her. She even went above and beyond and did things we didn’t ask of her. I never felt like I had to worry. She updated me with photos everyday. She even offered to go check on the dogs again if our flight was delayed. We had a very positive experience and would not hesitate to have her again. Thanks Brooke!”
“I really can’t say enough good things about Kathy! She took great care of our pup, and even took the time to play fetch with him, and walk him which I knew he really appreciated. She also sent us lots of fun photos and updates which always makes me feel a lot better when I am away. We came home to a happy tired pup, would definitely recommend!”
“Lam took great care of my pup and sent lots of photo updates throughout the weekend. She's my new go-to gal and I already have her booked for another stay!”
“Fantastic experience! Kymberly took great care of our mini-pack and left our space so clean and tidy. She was extremely responsive to questions throughout the day and we would highly recommend her without reservation!”
“Really appreciated that Susanna is responsive and genuinely cares for our pets and home. She has helped us 3x already and grateful to have a consistent pet and home sitter.”
“Ethanee was so great with our anxious small dog Holly, who also just happened to injure herself right before our trip out of the country, so she needed medication and special treatment during our week away. Ethanee was communicative, sending us lots of updates, and left our house in great shape. Holly has a hard time with new people, but seemed to warm up to Ethanee right away! We felt so relieved that she was in good hands, and wouldn't hesitate to book Ethanee again!”
“Pauline was amazing!! Our pup and bunny were so well over and cared for while we were away. We would highly recommend Pauline and we cannot wait to have her pet sit for us again!”
“Hoss is amazing!!! They were available on unreasonably short notice when the original sitter I had booked randomly disappeared. Our dogs were obsessed with Hoss from the first moment, and I have no doubt our precious ones felt safe and cared for the entire time. On top of looking after two finicky pups (one is elderly and requires medication, one is shy and stubborn, and they are both bratty), they took great care of our home and made sure to send us updates, even going out of their way to hand feed our little girl her kibbles when she went on hunger strike because of our absence. Hoss is attentive and understanding, a true animal lover. And to top it all off they have a great personality, radiating kindness and fun energy. We would be lucky to have them sit for us again. 10/10 highly recommend.”
“I feel like Kaylin gave my pets more attention than I'm usually able to give. She sent me frequent pics and videos and left the house probably cleaner than it was before.”
“Madelynne took the best care of our pup and cat while we were away. She was very communicative throughout her stay and sent lots of photos which we really appreciated. She went above and beyond for our sick dog by giving us constant updates and even taking her to the vet. We are so grateful for her time and the love she showed to our pets. We hope to have her every next time we are out of town.”
“Val sit my fur babies twice now and she is phenomenal! My animals were happy when I got home and she did everything I asked. She even went back to stay with my golden retriever Karma when my flight was canceled and I was stuck out of town an additional night. I will definitely be having Val stay with my fur babies again the next time I’m away.”
“Candace was a wonderful house sitter for our Great Dane. She was professional, responsible and most importantly, our pup was really happy when we got home after a week. Often our pup seems out of sorts after we get home, but this time he was so calm and happy that it was clear Candace took great care of him and spent lots of time with him. Thank you Candace! Candace also took great care of our home while we were away. We highly recommend Candace for house and dog sitting.”
“Jeff is an exceptional pet sitter, and we can’t recommend him highly enough! After we moved to ABQ, we were anxious about finding a trustworthy overnight sitter for our two dogs, especially with one being a high-energy puppy. From the moment we met Jeff, we felt completely at ease, and our dogs instantly took to him. While we were away for the holidays, Jeff went above and beyond in caring for both our dogs and our home. He communicated regularly, keeping us updated and giving us peace of mind. We’re so grateful to have found Jeff and will definitely be relying on him again in the future!”
“Patricia took great care of our dogs - she sent lots of pics. She went above and beyond watching our house., including feeding our parakeet, guppies and keeping clean water for our snake. She even filled the birdbath without being asked! We highly recommend and hope to hire her again in the future’”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12, both my own and family members’. In more recent years, I’ve expanded to helping out anyone who needs it, whether they need me to stay for a week or just pop in for a quick break outside. I’m currently out of work, so aside from a couple weekend trips out of state, I’m completely free until classes start at the end of August! I’ll always keep a close eye on pets when let outside, I can easily crate them if applicable, I’ll always be sure they have plenty of water and are fed on time, and I’ll gladly walk and play with them anytime!
About: I grew up with dogs in the house all the time so I am used to all different breeds and sizes. My grandma is a foster dog mom so we have new animals all the time in the house:) i currently have a day job monday-friday but I do get breaks often for me to be able to check on the animals. I have open availability on the weekends! I will be with them 24/7 making sure they are well cared for. I will also update you with pictures and info. etc. I do ask that you give me a description of everything so I can make the animal feel most at home so they don’t get stressed!

“Aislyn has watched my 2 cats (Otis and Willie Nelson) and dog (Zack) on several occasions. My cats can be a bit of a pain to manage but he was very good at following the many specific instructions that we left. My normally shy cats loved Aislyn right away which was such a relief! Aislyn is communicative, kind, thorough, and adaptable! I highly recommend him!”

Candelmen pet parents share their Rover experiences
Patricia bonded easily with our anxiety ridden rescue chihuahua Evie 😊 We will definitely be having her dog sit in the future and would recommend her to others!
Our 14YO female heeler bonded immediately with Aarti and she was probably sad when we returned. I like Aarti because she returns texts and requests in a very timely manner. We got photos from her every day which helped to ease any anxiety we had about using a new dog sitter. Her background as a vet assistant also eased our minds with our dog's history of Cushings disease. We travel a fair amount and are looking to have Aarti care for our girl in the future. Five stars for sure.
Cindi took marvelous care of Trixie, my 2 1/2 year-old cavalier! Trixie was very relaxed when I came home and I really appreciated all the great photographs and keeping in touch with me as I asked! I would definitely have Cindi care for my dogs going forward! The house was immaculate. Wholeheartedly recommend!
Karla was excellent. She was very professional. My dog got along well with her. I highly recommend her. I will use her again.
Jeff always goes above and beyond for my pets! I get regular photos and we always come home to happy animals and a tidy home!
We were gone 10 days this trip and Autumn took such great care of our dog, Marvin. We find her to be very reliable and does a super job caring for our Marvin!
Kim is such a wonderful pet sitter and she also stayed at the house over night to spend time with our dog and cats. She is truly wonderful!
Zoe was a FABULOUS dog sitter! Our family travels the country due to athletics and we bring along our pampered dogs on the adventure. Zoe quickly became like a family member to our pups, she was amazingly flexible with our varied schedule, and I 100% recommend her!!! Best Rover Ever -
Cristina did a great job of taking care of our dog (who is very skeptical of new people)! She was very communicative and attentive to Lola's needs.
Meredith is amazing! Highly recommend. Kept us informed and sent pictures daily. I felt like I could enjoy my vacation because I knew my dogs were in great hands!! I will absolutely request her again for future pet care needs!
Amani was amazing with my 10 week old puppy and took excellent care of her in my home all day! She has a high degree of professionalism and is friendly, responsible, punctual, and responsive. I came home to a very happy pup. Looking forward to booking Amani again in the future!
Syanne did an amazing job taking care of our 3 fur babies. She was so patient with them and won them over easily. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing they were receiving great care. Syanne was always available and gave updates while we were away. We will definitely use her services again!
Christine did a great job! She spent a couple nights ant our house with our dogs while we were on vacation. Our dogs were happy and well cared for and our house was in perfect condition! Thanks Christine!
This is the second time we’ve used Cody and he’s awesome. He’s great with dogs and leaves everything very neat and tidy. Highly recommend!
Ethan was very responsible and clearly loves dogs. Our baby had an acute injury the day before we left and Ethan made sure she was calm. I would absolutely use his services without reservation!!
Stephanie is fantastic! She was responsive and prepared - even more than me! As a pet parent of not only a senior pet, but one receiving chemo treatments, I was nervous about leaving his care up to someone else, but Stephanie had me completely at ease! We started off with an out-of-home meet & greet at my apartment complex's dog park, and both dogs loved her. <3 We then went to tour the house and meet my cat. Stephanie was incredibly thoughtful, remembering to ask important questions about the pet's habits and care. She was also completely at ease giving medication, even joining in on our demo. During the stay, Stephanie sent me regular updates with photos, which I greatly appreciated. I can't recommend Stephanie enough for your pet's care. I will be using her again should I leave town where I can't bring my pets with me.
Pauline was amazing!! Our pup and bunny were so well over and cared for while we were away. We would highly recommend Pauline and we cannot wait to have her pet sit for us again!
Heaven was great with Bella! Took care of her and played with her a lot!. She sent pictures daily and also sent great updates.
