Ashleigh is a kindred spirit around animals. She has a great sense of what the animal needs at different times. Her visit with Nico went well and it seems Nico likes her.

Wow! Heather is an absolute gem who exceeded our expectations and put our anxieties to rest! I truly can't recommend Heather enough. She is competent, friendly, ready to help, and most importantly, was really sweet and patient with our cats--one of whom is extremely shy of strangers. By the end of our vacation Heather had won over and made friends with our scaredy boy kitty. Heather kept us apprised of each visit with photos as well as detailed and humorous updates that really set our minds and hearts at ease. She was also more than willing to water a few of our plants and tend to a few things around our house. Please book Heather if you are looking for the very best pet sitter!

I adopted my dog fairly recently so I was nervous about leaving her with someone else for the weekend, but Megan was extremely attentive and made me feel comfortable on day 1! She was wonderful about providing updates and asking about details I hadn't even considered. I have a cat as well and I could tell they were both very fond of her by the end of the weekend. I would definitely recommend Megan to anybody looking for a petsitter.

Ingrid and Ty are awesome! They were able to accommodate our last minute needs with ease and grace. On top of that, we have 4 needy dogs that require extra behavioral attention. Our babies took to them very easily and we felt so computable knowing our babies were getting extra special care when we work long shifts. We will definitely be booking with Ty and Ingrid again and I look forward to more of the super cute pictures they’re able to get! Thank you both so soo so much!!!!

About: I have been passionate about animal care since a young age, with extensive hands-on experience managing the needs of multiple pets simultaneously. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the unique care each animal requires. My 3years of experience working at the Humane Society further honed my skills in providing specialized care for pets with specific health needs and routines. Having successfully balanced the care of my own three pets, and pet sitting for friends and family numerous times, I am highly attuned to the demands of pet care, even in the busiest of schedules. I always prioritize the well-being of the animals I care for, ensuring they receive consistent attention, exercise, and love. I take pride in preparing home-cooked meals for pets and have a keen understanding of how to cater to their dietary needs. Additionally, I am familiar with various walking trails and off ample space for pets to explore and play in a safe, enriching environment. Above all, my commitment to providing individualized care ensures that your pet will feel at ease and loved while in my care. As I currently do not have any pets of my own, my schedule is highly flexible and can accommodate multiple pet-sitting visits throughout the day. Given proper notice, I can ensure that your pet receives the attention and care they need, with ample time to visit and attend to their needs. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the utmost love, attention, and respect. I understand that some pets may take time to warm up to a new person, and I am committed to being patient and respectful throughout the process. I recognize that new environments or strangers can make pets feel nervous, so I take extra care to build trust, providing a calm and safe space for them to feel comfortable. I’ve developed a strong ability to read animals and understand their needs, knowing when they need a little extra space or when they’re ready to relax and enjoy some affection. Whether it’s through gentle interaction, engaging in activities they enjoy, or providing them with a sense of routine, I ensure that their emotional and physical needs are met with attention and care. I am always mindful of their comfort, and I take the time to understand their unique personality and preferences. My approach combines patience, respect, and a deep commitment to providing the best possible care, whether at my home or in your pet’s familiar surroundings.

About: I have had dogs growing up and have learned a lot about them from my interest in dog training. I ended up on a different career path, but after getting my first dog with my wife, I feel that I have gained a better understanding on the care they need and I believe they have as much potential as we give them the opportunity for. With my current work schedule, I can fit dog walking into any evening. I can also check on dogs in their homes that are close by any evening. With enough heads up I would be able able to dog sit in the area as well. I believe gaining a dogs trust is very important. I want them to know that I am in command, but also that they are safe with me. This includes being calm and listening, while also having a good amount of playtime. On walks I like to practice having my dog focus on me and not react to everything around her.

About: Ive owned dogs since a child..Basset Hound. Doberman, Pugs (I used to foster pugs in Dallas and adopted 4 at one point), Boston Terrier, Mixed breeds and love them all. Ive currently got a Beagle mix that I adopted 12 yrs ago "Jaz". Pet sitting has mostly been friends pets and since I'm new to the area, looking to get out of Corporate and thought this would be great time to spend with fur babies. I’m currently building an art-focused business and have a flexible schedule that works well for house sitting and pet care. I’m available for early morning walks and feedings, as well as afternoon check-ins, playtime and walks. I enjoy creating a steady routine that keeps your pet happy and comfortable throughout the day. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay relaxed in a familiar space. I keep dogs on leash anytime we are outside unless we are in a securely fenced yard or an approved off-leash area. I follow your rules around food and only give their regular meals and treats. My priority is keeping your pet safe, comfortable and happy.

About: “I have taken care of dogs my whole life and currently have a sweet pug puppy named Willow. I love taking dogs on walks, giving them playtime, potty breaks, snuggles, and lots of attention. I treat every dog like my own — with patience, kindness, and positive reinforcement. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or an overnight stay, your pup will feel safe, happy and deeply loved in my care I work from home as an artist and am almost always here, so your dog will get consistent walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles throughout the day. They won’t be left alone except for quick errands. 🐾 My home is very dog-friendly with a fully fenced in yard, tons of toys, comfy dog beds, and lots of space to relax. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and in my bed (just like my own pups). I treat every dog like part of the family — with lots of love, patience, and positive reinforcement. 🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Candler on Rover is $21.4 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 1,051 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Candler. 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 Candler 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 Candler 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 Candler 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 Candler. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
