“Julia was absolutely wonderful! This was the first time in a long time that our dog had stayed with someone other than family, so naturally, we were a little anxious about how she would adjust. From the moment she arrived, Julia went above and beyond to make her feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. She kept us updated throughout her stay with thoughtful messages and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear how attentive and caring she was, especially when it came to helping ease our dog’s anxiety and making sure all of her needs were met. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and, without a doubt, will be reaching out to Julia again to care for our fur baby. Thank you so much, Julia, for treating her with such kindness, patience, and love. We truly appreciate you! ❤️🐾”
“We are so grateful for your family! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our dogs and for being so kind and supportive through our last minute flight changes. Highly recommend!”
“Laquitta and James were awesome with our Chloe. She's a small dog and can be a little picky about who she hangs with. But she enjoyed her week long stay while we traveled out of state. Will definitely use them again and would recommend to anyone else with a smaller dog.”
“She was wonderful with my two 70 pound dogs,she has a huge backyard which the boys love playing in and she sent me pictures and videos each day and help get the boys in the car because I have a broken arm and that really helped. Thank you for keeping them happy.😍🐕🦺🦮”
“I appreciated the pictures and videos Lorraine sent me. It eased my mind about leaving my 4 legged baby while I was out of town. Cosita was very calm when I picked her up unlike other times I boarded her at other locations. Lorraine took such good care of her I feel comfortable leaving Cosita with her again.”
“June did a superb job with Bentley & followed all of the instructions with his medications & feeding etc. She is obviously a dog lover & I think he got spoiled a bit as today he seems a bit off being back at home! Apparently he decided to get into bed with June to sleep, something he never does at our house! She responded to any questions via text or by phone and kept us informed through videos and photos every day. We would have no problem leaving him again with Miss June.”
“Another wonderful stay! My two goldens absolutely love Krista’s home. It’s so nice to have peace of mind knowing your fur babies are taken care of. And Krista does exactly that, making sure my fur babies were well looked after the entire stay.”
“Keliecathran is so caring and inclusive with our girls. She makes them feel comfortable and welcome, and they love to be with her dog, Coconut, too. They will be staying again, soon.”
“She is absolutely wonderful and sweet! Our Pup Tank loved her! It was his first sleep over ever! Could not have gone any better! Roxanne, also kept us updated throughout the whole process! We will most definitely will be using her again in the near future! ???”
“Korie, did great with our old pug who is deaf, blind and has seizures. Hard to put an old dog with someone new, but I wouldn't hesitate to board him with her again! P”
“Denny was wonderful! She was flexible with drop off-had to come earlier due to change of plans. Sonic had plenty of room in house and yard. Denny sent daily pics and my little guy was very happy when he was picked up.”
“Ashley takes very good care of Tucker, sometimes for a couple of weeks at a time. I never worry about him when I'm away. Her two dogs are really chill and Tucker enjoys them very much.”
“Duke is always well cared for and enjoys spending time with the other dogs. Nola sends me pictures of Duke playing with other dogs, or just relaxing. Very pleased with Nola's service.”
About: I've had dogs for over 60 years. All my dogs have lived long and happy lives. Animals are the best creation by God! I have a heart for all animals but I truly love dogs. I want to help others by being the best caregiver out there to leave their fur babies with. I'm picky and understand the need of someone you can trust while you are away. Boarding in a kennel is not an option for me and I understand safety is paramount along with quality care. I have a Shit-zu and a Chihuahua whom both are my life and my husband always says: If he was a to come back in another life as a dog, he wants to come to my house! Best description I can think of for what they mean to me and the care they receive.
“Carla, was great with Nova she sent me plenty’s of pictures and video of her. Be the best part was how patient she was with her since she still only a puppy . I loved that my whole trip we had open communication and Carla was very flexible and with my schedule!”
“Beautiful home & perfect place for my dog! Her doggies kept mine company, and so did her kids. There is so much yard space (5 acres) to run around, and Diannette and her family cared for Buttercup like their own. He seemed very content in photos she sent. Highly recommend.”
“Thanks, Dennis for taking care of Princess. She really enjoyed staying with you while I was away. I highly recommend Dennis, he sent pictures, was attentive, and was flexible when I needed to pick Princess up.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Candler is $40
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Candler
I'm so happy to have Sandra close to home, for day trips or to cover my absence for a longer trip. She tries hard to get Alexa to play with her other dogs, and this time succeeded and sent me a video of their outdoor playtime. Always great communication and care for my dog.
I’ve used Adrienna services a few times before, but this is my first review. I appreciate that Adrieanna is reliable, responsive, and easy to work with. I feel comfortable leaving Jet with her while I go to work, and she handles things smoothly, even stepping in during emergencies to make sure he’s taken care of. All of Jett's stays have been satisfactory. Overall, she’s someone you can count on for dog care.
Jessica did a wonderful job with Skylar. She is a very caring and attentive person. We received daily photos and we could tell that Skylar was enjoying her stay. Skylar got along very well with Jessica's dog Sam. She encourage play that was comfortable for both of them. We will definately use Jessica again in the future!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Candler can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Candler home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Candler.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Candler. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
You and your Candler sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
