We're so happy to have Olivia check in on Sadie when we're out for the day. And Sadie thinks she has a new friend who comes to visit just her!

Lindsay took care of our (cat) babies like they were her own. She took photos of them every time she came to see them, and spent time playing with them as well as feeding and medicating as needed. My cats loved her from the very first introduction. Lindsay is not only an animal lover, she's also a great lady. She surprised us with a list of places and things to try since she knew my husband and I had just moved into the area! We’re definitely looking forward to having her care for our cats in the future.

About: Looking for someone to care for your pets as well as you do? I have 15 years of experience caring for animals ranging all different sizes, ages, and health needs. I’ve had animals my whole life from dogs, cats, horses, and exotic birds. I am the designated care giver for my friends’ and family’s pets and wanted to give Rover a try to put those skills to more use. I currently have two cats of my own and will not be accepting to board animals in my home at this time, but am more than happy to care for your furry or feathered friends in their current space and make sure they’re exercised, fed, and not missing you too much while you’re away! My rates are all negotiable, please connect with me directly for pricing questions. I look forward to befriending and caring for your pets and keeping them safe for your return home whether it be from a vacation or just from work. I currently work remotely part time during the week and have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to drive and visit your pets to care for them. Drop in visits typically take about 15-20 minutes, walking or exercising can be 1-2 hours, and sitting can be booked for multiple days. Since I will be only caring for pets in their own homes, my care is fully personalized and customizable to meet your specific needs and requirements. I am comfortable giving medication to pets and am experienced with reactive and emotionally triggered animals.

About: My name is Kathryn and I go by Katie, I’m 20 years old I’ll be 21 in July. I live in Derry NH and I can’t wait to help out families who need it! Leaving your fur baby at home can be stressful. Trust me, I love mine so much. But I’m here to make sure there is nothing to stress over and that they are well taken care of. Over the years I’ve cared for many dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities and truly enjoy making pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I used to groom dogs, clip nails, walk dogs for as long as needed, and feed them daily or multiple times a day whatever is needed. Along with any medications they need as well. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets. I can also send update pictures or videos to my clients and make sure they know I’m doing exactly what they asked for! Im a very active person who loves working out so when im not at Pilates or doing school work im free, but im very able to manage my time. Im free all the time this summer may-august mornings and evenings. So just give me a heads up! And I’ll be free on weekends during the months after this summer. My top priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I live in a home away from busy roads, and pets will always be supervised in a safe environment. During walks, I always keep dogs on a leash, clean up after them, and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I’ll also follow any specific routines or instructions to make sure your pet feels right at home.

About: I’m not sure that I’m much different then most pet loving people. I do have experience training adults and puppies, I have had a variety of breeds for pets. I feel that I can connect with dogs. My pets went to obedience school, allowing me to pick up some training skills. I haven’t met a friendly dog that I didn’t fall in love with yet. As I said before- Let me love your pets. Plenty of time for whatever you and your pets needs may be. I have open availability at this time, so please take advantage while it lasts. I have a large fenced in backyard with a pool. If your baby likes to swim, provide the life jacket and we will have some fun in the water.

About: I have always been described as the animal lover in my family, always trying to convince my parents to get me a new pet. I have been petsitting since 2020, and have excellent references! I’m comfortable with anything from feeding, to walking, to just hanging out, to administering medication! I am currently home in New Hampshire from college in Boston looking to expand my pet sitting experience! I am free almost every day, and can provide exceptional and reliable care for your pets. Pets at my home are always taken care of with the same love and respect I give my own pets. I have a fenced in yard!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was very young, starting with our family dogs as well as walking or sitting for family friends throughout the years. I tend to the individual dog’s needs to ensure a positive experience built on trust, respect and fun! I work from home and my schedule allows for flexibility. I have the availability to be free during week days. I am also an avid walker and love to go on walks to explore new places. I focus on the individual needs of that animal to meet them where they are at. I am able to understand animal body language and act accordingly.

About: Hi, I’m Jordyn! Animals aren’t just a job for me—they are my absolute passion. I’ve been working professionally in the pet care industry since 2019, running my own successful dog daycare and boarding services. Because of my background, I bring a high level of expertise, safety, and dedication to every pet I care for. I’ve loved and managed just about every breed, size, and personality out there, and I deeply understand canine behavior, social dynamics, and safety protocols. I know how tough it can be to leave your four-legged family member behind, which is why my goal is to give them a fun, stress-free environment where they feel right at home. Whether your pup is a high-energy bundle of fun or a sensitive soul who needs a little extra patience, I tailor my care to what they need most. What you can expect when your dog is with me: • Professional Expertise: Experience managing dietary needs, medicine administration, and diverse temperaments. • A Cozy, Structured Environment: Plenty of love, structure, and personalized attention so they feel like family. • Peace of Mind: Reliable communication and frequent photo updates so you never have to wonder how they're doing. I’m fully committed to making sure your dog has a fantastic, safe experience. I can't wait to meet your furry best friend! Because my profession and my lifestyle are completely centered around animals, pet care isn't just a task tacked onto my day—it is the structure of my daily and weekly routine. Here is a look at how pet care naturally shapes my schedule: The Daily Rhythm: Structure & Consistency Cats and dogs thrive on routine, so my days are built around predictable, high-quality care windows: • Morning Kickoff (The Energy Boost): The day always starts early with breakfast, fresh water, and essential health checks. For dogs, this means immediate outdoor time, structured group play, or morning walks to burn off early energy. For cats, it’s about refreshing litter boxes, feeding on a precise schedule, and offering some gentle morning scratches or playtime for the early risers. • Mid-Day Management (Balance & Maintenance): Mid-day is all about balance. It includes administering any afternoon medications, managing specific dietary needs, and supervising play dynamics to keep the environment safe and harmonious. For more independent pets or cats, this is a great time for quiet companionship, checking in on shy animals, and keeping their environment pristine. • Evening Wind-Down (Cozy Comfort): As the day wraps up, the focus shifts to winding down. After evening meals, I focus on creating a calm, cozy atmosphere. This is the time for belly rubs, lap lounging, and ensuring every animal feels safe, secure, and treated like family before bed. The Weekly Flow: Communication & Upkeep On a weekly basis, pet care involves the operational behind-the-scenes work that keeps everything running smoothly: • Constant Client Communication: A huge part of my week is dedicated to giving owners peace of mind. I stay in regular contact with frequent photo updates and detailed check-ins so clients never have to wonder how their furry family members are doing. • Environment & Safety Deep-Cleans: Maintaining a safe, hygienic space is a top priority. Weekly routines include deep-sanitizing play areas, washing bedding, checking safety gates, and thoroughly refreshing pet areas to ensure top-tier cleanliness. • Individualized Attention Planning: Every week brings different personalities, ages, and temperaments. I constantly adjust my weekly flow to accommodate high-energy pups who need extra exercise, or older, sensitive pets who require a quieter, more patient pace. Ultimately, blending professional expertise with genuine affection means that providing a safe, structured, and loving environment is second nature to my everyday routine. When pets stay with me, they are welcomed directly into my daily life and treated like a member of the family. My home environment is designed to offer the perfect balance of professional safety and domestic comfort. • A Tailored, Safe Environment: Because of my background in professional pet care, my home is fully set up for safety and supervision. I closely monitor all interactions and group dynamics, ensuring that high-energy pets have space to play while more sensitive or older animals have quiet, designated areas to relax undisturbed. • Consistency is Key: I replicate the structure pets need to feel secure. This means adhering to regular feeding schedules, prompt bathroom breaks, and managing specific dietary or medical needs with professional precision. • The Best of Both Worlds: Pets get the socialization, playtime, and mental stimulation they crave during the day, followed by a calm, cozy environment in the evening. There is always a warm lap, plenty of belly rubs, and a comfortable spot to wind down. In Your Home: Maintaining Comfort, Routine, and Security When I care for pets in your home—whether for drop-in visits, dog walking, or house sitting—my primary goal is to minimize their stress by keeping their exact environment and routine completely unchanged. • Respecting the Routine: I step seamlessly into your pet’s normal schedule. I feed them in their usual spots, walk them along their familiar neighborhood routes, and follow your specific instructions to the letter. This continuity is especially vital for cats and anxious dogs, who thrive on predictability. • Focused, One-on-One Attention: Without the distractions of a daycare environment, your pet gets my undivided love and attention. Whether it’s an energetic game of fetch in the backyard, a focused neighborhood walk, or a quiet cuddle session on the couch with a sensitive cat, the time is entirely theirs. • Home Security & Peace of Mind: Beyond top-tier pet care, I treat your home with the utmost respect and discretion. I ensure doors are securely locked, mail is brought in if requested, and the living space is kept exactly as you left it. What You Get in Both Settings: Unmatched Peace of Mind. No matter where the care takes place, my commitment to communication never changes. You will receive regular, detailed updates and plenty of photos so you can see exactly how relaxed, happy, and safe your furry family member is while you're away.

About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and energy levels, I bring a calm, confident, and knowledgeable approach to every pet I care for. From playful family pups to high-drive working and hunting dogs, I’ve trained, handled, and loved them all. My background includes obedience training, socialization, and behavior management, so I understand how to read a dog’s body language and respond to their needs with patience and precision. Whether your pup needs a structured walk, mental stimulation, or just a cozy companion while you're away, I tailor my care to fit their personality and routine. ✔️ Comfortable with large breeds, high-energy dogs, and special needs pets ✔️ Skilled in basic obedience and handling reactive behavior ✔️ Clean, respectful, and communicative—your home and pet are in great hands ✔️ Available for walks, drop-ins, overnights, and extended stays I treat every pet like family and strive to make your time away stress-free and positive for everyone. Let’s chat about how I can help you and your furry friend feel confident and comfortable—can’t wait to meet you both! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s something I truly enjoy and make time for every day. Whether it’s morning walks, training sessions, feeding schedules, or playtime, caring for animals is built into my life. With 15+ years of experience, I’ve developed a rhythm that keeps pets happy, healthy, and calm while their owners are away. I treat each visit or stay as a top priority, making sure every dog gets the attention, structure, and love they’re used to at home. Whether I'm watching one pup or a few, I organize my day around their needs—early walks, midday check-ins, evening wind-downs, and plenty of time for belly rubs and fetch in between! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, my goal is always the same: to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment that keeps your pet happy and comfortable. In My Home: I keep a clean, pet-friendly space where animals can relax and feel at ease. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any medication or special care instructions. I offer plenty of supervised outdoor time (in a secure area), mental stimulation, and downtime to keep pets balanced and stress-free. In Your Home: I respect your space and your pet’s routine. I make sure your pet gets the same love and structure they’re used to, whether that’s walks, playtime, meals, or snuggles on the couch. I’m tidy, trustworthy, and always communicate so you know how things are going while you're away. No matter where your pet is, I treat them like my own—with patience, kindness, and lots of tail wags.

About: I’ve been experienced with dogs/animals for over 10 years. I’m currently a dog trainer that trains beginner/advanced on leash and off leash obedience. I have a passion for dogs and want to make sure they have the best experience while their owners are away! I have 3 dogs of my own that I compete with in dock diving and waterfowl hunt tests. I’m a super active dog owner that loves to get outdoors! While taking care of your pup they would be treated like my own. I want to give pet parents the piece of mind that their pup is happy and well cared for! I’m very open with communication to make sure everything goes smoothly while in my care. I have my own schedule with being a dog trainer. I dedicate most of my time to dogs/animals. This is my full time job and can always be available. I am super hyper vigilant when it comes to pet safety. Always having a long line attached to your pups if we’re ever on a trail walk. Making sure I have an extra leash. Always going the next step to make sure the dogs are safe.

About: I have worked in a veterinarian customer care setting for over 5 years as well as I have 5 years of experience as a dog walker, daycare worker, and boarder. I am able to administer medications including insulin. With my knowledge of vet medicine, I do know when an animal’s condition needs immediate medical attention. I believe safety, transparency, and communication are all really important when taking care of someone else’s pet. All fur friends are beloved members of their families and so, I always try to provide the utmost care to any pet that I work with. I am both an animal care provider as well as a private voice lesson teacher. These two careers work beautifully together with scheduling as the first half of my day is dedicated to animal care and the second half to music. I only care for pets in the owner’s home because I have two dogs at home myself. I make sure that I always leave a space the way it was when I entered being mindful of cleanliness (like not tracking dirt into the house, etc). If a dog seems more timid during the first visit, I make sure to take the time and go slow to give your pet time to warm up to me. If we are outside walking, safety is my number one priority. Making sure that the clasp on the leash/walking gear is secure, and not interacting

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Candia on Rover is $38.15 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 2,135 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Candia. 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 Candia 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Candia choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Candia with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Candia. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
