“Our experience with Heather was excellent. We just moved into a new house with a new kitten, and she handled everything without a problem. She was communicative, flexible, and great with all our critters. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“Alex did an absolutely amazing job with my animals while we were out of town getting married. He was completely unfazed by 4 dogs and a cat, all running wild. He took such great care of all of them, sent the most adorable pictures of them, so we never had to stress that our babies were in good hands. Phenomenal job, we will gladly have Alex come back again any time we need a 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.”
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: Hi! I would love to help care for the fur babies in your family! I do house sitting, pet-sitting, and dog walking. I have had pets of all kinds from guinea pigs, to cats, to 100+ lb dogs! I even have experience with taking care of newborn puppies. I am a very active person and can take your dogs out for a run if you would like. Also, I’ll bring your loved ones little treats while they are in my care, with your approval of course. If your pets need a bath or a grooming, I’ve got you covered. For house sitting, let me know if you need some things cleaned. I can help you out. I hope you consider me for your dog walking, pet-sitting, and house-sitting needs! Currently, I am fully available to care for your pets and your home all week. I am free Monday through Sunday, with some limited availability on Saturday and Sunday so I can go for a bike ride. I can stay with your pets during the day if needed as I work on my computer. I can take them out to potty and crate them if need be when I am not there. Whatever you need, I've got you covered.
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. 🐾
“Katherine took great care of our thirteen year old kitty cat. She was reliable, responsive, and sent wonderful photos and updates each day we were gone. Our cat doesn’t love other people, and Katherine was super patient with her and even got some pets in. We highly recommend her and hope to hire her again for our next trip!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Kylie! She took amazing care of our dog while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind. She kept us updated with messages and photos, and it was so clear that our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. She was reliable, kind, and treated our dog like one of her own. We will absolutely book with Kylie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to watch their pets!”
About: I have worked in the veterinary medicine industry for approximately 9-10 years. I am now a Vet Assistant in a small animal hospital. I have worked with and been around maybe different animals since I was young. I have also worked with horses for approximately 14 years in many different settings. I am fear free certified and truly enjoy giving an owner peace of mind that their pet is in great hands! 💛 If my schedule does not reflect your needs, please message me, I can be flexible at times. I am employed full-time with a 4-day work week. I am available on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays at any time. Other days of the week, I am available for PM drop-ins. When pet-sitting, I follow instructions from the owner and do not vary from the directions unless advised. I understand the importance of a pet's routine and sticking as closely to that as possible. I care for all animals with the same gentle, caring approach I use with my own pets. I am equipped to administer medication if needed.
About: I'm that go to friend that everyone always asks to love on their pets while they are busy or out of town. I've had all sorts of pets in my life too. No requests to weird. I love to send selfies of your furbabies so you know they are safe and happy. I live in west Asheville and am able to travel to close towns. I have taken care of the special needs of animals I cared for. Pills and special food is all good. I do require a meet up drop in visit before we book a stay. I want to meet you and your pet in their own home and learn about their particular needs. This is so we both feel that your fur baby is being cared for the way they are used to. Less stress for pets and pet parents this way. I do work outside of pet sitting, but still have free time for pets. Im available for overnight stays as well. I will treat your home as I would my own. And yes I can bring in the mail(or packages) for you too. I appreciate written care instructions. That way if there is ever an emergency I can take the best possible care of your pet in a timely manner. LGBTQ+ friendly (obviously lol)
“Cant say enough about Ty and Ingrid. Two lovely humans who helped us out big time with some unusual requests that allowed us to have our Poppy dog in our wedding, and let us enjoy our wedding weekend events while knowing she was in great hands. They're total pros and we would not hesitate to book again ( in fact we plan to if they'll let us! :P). They could charge 3x more and you'd still be getting a bargain.”
“Patricia was extremely helpful when watching our dogs. I could tell my dogs enjoyed having her drop in. She was responsive and updated me daily on how my pups were doing! Would definitely hire again.”
“Kendra has watched our puppy 3 times now. She’s been so reliable, quick with communication, and has gone above and beyond by accommodating all of my many requests during the visit. We are so grateful for all her help”

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.

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.

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.
